A man shot and killed Sunday evening on the corner of North Avenue and Aisquith.

Fatal carjack case dragged back to court

OMG! THIS case-- Bernard Eric Miller, charged with dragging Pam Basu to death with her own car as she tried to save her toddler. In 1993 my friend was a reporter at the Sun, and I went with her to the Towson courthouse for lack of anything better to do and ended up thoroughly traumatized. As awful as it sounds, the crime scene photos are worse. And I remember that lawyer-- his pants were too short and his hair was too long and he looked like he just rolled out of bed.
How awful this must be for that family. Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Police and prosecutors disagree on the utility of crime cameras. How about saving $ by cutting off the blue lights?

Wonder if any residents or homeowners have asked the city to remove the lights from their property sight lines?
