TGIF
A 10-year old shot in the left hand was one of two shooting victims Thursday night.
At least one lawyer is claiming that the 12-year old who claimed she was raped in Woodlawn has "inconsistencies" in her story.
Anti-Jewish vandalism leads to increased police patrols in Northwest Baltimore.
Creepy. City and County cops have busted Darrell Lyles for impersonating a police officer.
Burglaries in Towson.

Former Baltimore city narcotic detective sentenced for fraud, lying., and stealing a diamond Freeze watch.
Deadbeat!
TDR's Melody Simmons reports that Sheila Dixon's former lover Ron Lipscomb has taken his business out of state .. and stopped paying his bills. No word on where Mrs. Lipscomb is living.
.. wouldn't the Dixon story make such a great Urban romance potboiler novel?

check out the passive-voice and buck-passing in this Sun opinion piece on the SAO campaign:
"Some of what’s been heard so far — for example, whether Mrs. Jessamy likens city courtrooms to city public schools or that the police commissioner used to have a Bernstein sign — falls well short of the substantive facts the public needs to make an informed choice. That the city could be safer is obvious."
... Isn't the Sun supposed to be the go-to for facts and substance? What is Jessamy's conviction rate, anyway? And didn't you just tell us crime was down, dear paper?

Nol Pros in McCann case
A suspiciously dead body found in a stairwell near the Circuit Court building, and the 137th murder victim = a man shot in July who recently succumbed to his injuries. (WTF? 69 Facebook users "like" this story.)
Remember Annie McCann? One of the guys who admitted to police that he ransacked her car and removed her dead body from her Volvo to go joy-riding in it has gotten off scot-free. Prosecutors say a "lack of evidence" led to a nol pros of the case. Un.Frickin.Believable.
... speaking of prosses, State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy's fundraising reports show that she raised about $46,000 since her last finance report in January. The Sun notes two of the g's were from Jessamy's old pal Doug Duncan, whom she endorsed when he ran against O'Malley.

So much for the 30 year low
Looks like we're now running neck and neck with last year's homicide totals
