Links here and here from the Examiner in August of 2007.A Baltimore jury today convicted Roger Len Ervin, [pictured right] 48, of the 3100 block of Oakley Avenue of first-degree rape, third-degree sex offense, two separate counts of first-degree assault, armed robbery, use of handgun in crime of violence, wear/carry/transport handgun, first-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary. Jurors heard three days of testimony and deliberated approximately one hour before reaching its verdict.
On August 23, 2007 Ervin broke into the victim’s Roland Park home and raped her. He also burglaized the home and robbed the victim of personal possession while pointing a gun at her. Police recovered DNA from the victim and eventually identified Ervin with a DNA search of the Combined Offender Data Index System (CODIS) in March 2008.
Judge John Howard ordered a pre-sentence investigation and scheduled sentencing for February 12, 2010. If given the maximum sentence on all counts, Ervin faces a possible prison term of life plus 118 years.
Guess the 2nd guy is still out there somewhere

What could a pre-sentencing investigation possibly uncover that would justify anything other than life in prison?
IMO it's a pity that the death penalty isn't an option for rape anymore.
Former Baltimore County ASA Ann Brobst was sworn in as a Circuit Court judge yesterday. In typical Baltimore Sun fashion the newspaper devoted only a single paragraph to the horrible criminals she has put away, but half of the article was about the Kirk Bloodsworth case. Enough! That was one terrible mistake in a long and distinguished career. There is no need to rehash the same story again and again and again.
