Jury doesn't buy insanity defense - Mary Koontz found guilty of murdering her husband. According to her daughter (and would-be victim), "it was like a weight lifted off all of our shoulders."
No charges will be filed in the shooting death of a home invader back in March.
Take note: If you're wrongfully arrested (due to a court's clerical error), shackled by wrists and ankles to a pole for 12 hours, while your children are left alone in a highway parking lot, and are declared "truly innocent and injured" by the Court of Special Appeals... you can't sue anyone. Sorry! So, you know, make sure that doesn't happen, okay?
Documents in the murder of UVA student Yeardly Love are unsealed. Ex-boyfriend George Huguely V admits kicking in her door and getting in an "altercation" with her. Was the murder planned?

A snowball's chance?
Could someone possibly unseat Patricia Coates Jessamy after 15 years and three re-elections as State's Attorney?
Could that someone be one Gregg Bernstein?
Do enough people even know what a State's Attorney is and what they do all day to be convinced to care?
... hope these two have a debate, at least.

A fatal shooting in Essex and another outside of a bar on Baltimore Street.
A 21-year old man was murdered in Brooklyn Park, Anne Arundel County cops are looking for two suspects.
And just in case you thought we didn't have enough homicides, a 16-year old was shot dead in Reservoir Hill on Thursday morning. He was the fourth teenager to be murdered so far this year.
Mental health "experts" can't agree if Mary Koontz, on trial for murdering her husband, is sane.

Was anyone else surprised that the Baltimore Sun didn't have an article about the beheading verdict being upheld? From what I recall there was a real fear that their conviction might be overturned.

It is what it isn't
Police are now reviewing all recent rape cases that were ruled unfounded, thanks to Justin Fenton's article on the BPD's penchant for finding woman who reports rapes unreliable.
Meanwhile, 3 officers who were suspended for trying to talk a rape victim out of reporting it are suspended again.
The city is doing its collective best to make sure no one gets punished to severely for allowing a sex offender to collect sick pay while in prison.
