Part II of stop snitching, philly style

Two more homicides

... a man stabbed on Edmonson Avenue and a man shot on the 24th who died.

A fine for Robert Lipscomb, an apology, some community service and a "my wife is truly a great person."

30 years after he plead guilty to sexually abusing two Baltimore girls, George Ogle finaly earned a spot on a sex offender registry. The move was a little late for the two additonal victims he is now charged with molesting in West Virginia.
