29, 30? 31?
Alleged high-ranking Young Gorilla shot to death in Charles Village yesterday, 2602 N Calvert St.
Also last night, a serious stabbing at 4409 Maine Ave.
...and early this morning, a suspiciously-dead person found at a gas station at the intersection of West Mulberry and North Greene streets
Congratulations, Desmond "Dazy" Sims, Baltimore's youngest murder suspect so far this year. Dazy is accused of killing 19-year-old Jeffrey Ward to impress the Bloods.
One Anthony Wiggins backed out of a plea deal but admitted guilt, a move that could earn him extra years on his sentence
Mr. Sifrit wants a divorce
Good news, bad news: ex-cop Percel O. Alston is running against Vallario. Bad news, can't find this Alston anywhere on the web, which doesn't bode well for his campaigning or fund-raising efforts.
WTF?! "A Maryland senator and delegate are the targets of a flier that attacks them as "'bagel brain Jews'"

Child Neglect Bill Vote Today in House
Our favorite Delegate Jill Carter reports that the House is scheduled to vote today on HB 962, which would make child neglect a felony:
Critics say the bill will make family members less likely to report neglect. Jessamy's office opposes the bill. Julie Drake told the CP's Erin Sullivan, "So you're saying that rather than provide substance-abuse treatment to the parent, you want the parent to sit in jail."
.. maybe we could compromise and say jail is the substance-abuse treatment?
UPDATE: Reports Carter, "Bill was held."
"We will vote on this today in the same amended form we passed in 2008. I believe the Senate killed the 2008 bill that passed our committee and the House."... MD is the only state that doesn't currently consider child neglect a felony.

Secret payout
The BDP did somebody wrong, but how much taxpayers have to fork over to make good is a total freakin' secret.
Sanctuary! Sanctuary!
Will 2,500 of Baltimore's 42,000 (!!!) wanted fugitives voluntarily turn themselves in at "Safe Surrender" in June?
Fun fact! For about 1,000 years, English law prohibited arresting someone in a church .. but apparently there's no such law in the American books.

BWW to face DP?
Prosecutors say Karla Porter could face the death penalty.. though it doesn't sound like her case would meet the new legal requirements, unless there's a videotaped confession we don't know about (and contract killings are eligible).
Porter's lawyers say her representation will include "at the very least a battered-spouse syndrome defense."
Don't miss those mugshots.

Double shooting
Double shooting in Southeast
[Fenton's got a photo, and tweets that unconfirmed reports are that one victim is 13 years old - MJB]

Speedbumps on the white line highway
The guy who tried to bring 13 pounds of coca into Baltimore on a chartered jet got almost 22 years in the big house
... yet Shawn Green, a fugitive convicted of conspiracy to distribute 330 pounds of the same and also implicated in a mortgage-fraud scheme, got 12 years. It pays to plead guilty!

Sex-related robberies?
Feb 4's victim was apparently an Internet pimp, and "Police are exploring reports that two women might have been involved in sex-related robberies in North Baltimore."
Legislation would make a few more cases death-penalty eligible . Also in A-town, debate on the booze tax
Lots on interesting stuff in the Crime beat blog today.. most upsetting is this tale of revolving-door justice that let an killer out again and again
Dixon's fur coats, camera and Xbox are for sale on ebay today

the daily dismal
Last week's four murders in the Ink
Mexican murdered in Cockeysville
An arrest in the murder of security guard James Ball
And an arrest in the South Baltimore pub-crawl stabbing
City police mad at school police for not reporting 8-year-old with gun
Seriously? The CP reports that Maryland is the only state in the nation without a criminal child-neglect law. Bills 962 and 757 would change that, but child advocates say the legislation is flawed.
Twin-brother burglars arrested
"Dwyer undeterred still on Gansler impeachment effort"
A change to MD's child-support guidelines

and now a batshit white woman
How about the Lifetime drama of this tale: buttleggin' Karla Porter, who allegedly enlisted her quinquagenarian siblings, a nephew and some random guys to help kill her husband, blamed the murder on a "black male," got found out when she tried to pay a witness to leave town, showed up at the victim's funeral with plagiarized poetry and wildflower-seed bookmarks; got arrested, pulled the "abused wife" card ... oh just read the story already.
Not guilty
Alleged Crips member Elliot Wilkes, aka "Shitty" was found not guilty of killing Gary Wills, even with seemingly compelling eye witness testimony.

Inspector General
Has just wrapped up his work on the case of sex offender who stayed on the city payroll while serving time for sexually abusing a minor.
Douche du Jour
Sounds like PGC Rep. Vallario made a huge ass of himself in front of FHB III in Annapolis last week-- apparently he didn't read his own handouts. Long-time loyal readers may remember some of his other greatest hits: In 2007, he was reportedly the only guy standing the the way of a new Sex Offender Evidence Bill. In 2006 he voted against House Bill 320, which was to strengthen Witness Intimidation Reforms for women and children victims of felony sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. Wonder what they see in him down in PGC?
