Small town!
Sen. Ulysses Currie was indicted on bribery charges, and the Sun's Laura Vozzella reports that candidate for State's Attorney Gregg Bernstein is also representing Currie against charges that he used campaign funds to pay for his defense.
Happy Thursday
Life w/o parole for Baltimore County home invasion & murder. Two accomplices in this case were also charged, but couldn't be prosecuted due to lack of evidence.
Two separate city shootings. The story makes it sound like they were both non-fatal.
Two Cecil County Detention Center inmates have been charged with starting fires in their cells.
Patricia Jessamy is launching her own TV campaign ads. Apparently her fund-raising isn't going well, because she's helping to pay for the ads herself.
An arrest has been made in the August 28th robbery of a 1st Mariner Bank branch on York Road in Cockeysville.

CP: Troubled Record vs. Limited Experience
The CP's Ed Ericson: "The Jury is Out: In state’s attorney race, Jessamy stands on a troubled record while Bernstein runs on reform and limited experience"
.. should this be taken to mean the CP won't be endorsing a candidate?

State Senators Behaving Badly
The Federales have indicted State Senator Ulysses Currie (D-PG County).
FOP endorses Bernstein
Police union (surprise) gives the official nod to the challenger for top prosecutor's job.

Slew-foot Gary and the Roosting Chickens

A man fatally shot at 4108 Harris Avenue, the Sun reports the victim, Nathaniel Augusto Santiago, beat murder charges twice
WTF? A Curtis Bay skateboarder arrested for fatally pushing a guy into the harbor in 2008.
Harris trial: So much for the mystery woman being called first.. but testimony from a security guard ID's two of the killers and explains the meaning of "slew footed" (... so if you are "slew-footed" you have a "slugh foot"?)
The gov wants to seize $10 million from Steven Blackwell
A Dawson relative makes a good point: "Even if the parents didn't want to budge, they should have snatched those kids up." Wonder if any threatened witnesses' kids have ever been taken by social services?

The mystery woman in Harris case to be called first
The woman in the car with councilman Ken Harris when he was shot will be the first witness to be called, prosecutors said today.
Now that Dixon's no longer mayor, should the city un-install her home security system?
How much could taxpayers possibly get for a used, three-year-old system? Might it cost more than it's worth to take it down? .. on the other hand, couldn't she come up with some semi-plausible reason for keeping it, instead of hanging up on Jayne Miller?

If you really, really care
you can vote as early as Friday in the city, if you're willing to go to one of these ghetto-azz locations
Some real 'conviction rate' numbers
See question #8-- the Sun says of the current State's Attorney's conviction rate:
478 murder cases were adjudicated in Baltimore in 2006-2008. Of those, nearly 40 percent resulted in not guilty verdicts, dropped charges or pleas or convictions on lesser charges. Among cases that went to trial, prosecutors' record of getting murder convictions was about 50-50.... pity the intern had to pore over death's three-ring binder to crunch those numbers!
Pitcairn Memorial Removed
says Charles Villagers for Peaceful Living.
Wonder if the DPW has a policy for how long they keep up memorials, and when/if they take them down?

Angelo Dangerfield
Gregg Bernstein's new ad features Doris Dangerfield, mom of murder victim Angelo Dangerfield.
.. according to the CP, there's more to this story than Dangerfield just walking the dog; a BPD forfeiture complaint says he was also a BPD informant, though whether or not that's really true or if it played a role in his murder we may never know. Said his mom, "he wasn't a snitch."

Another Hispanic man slain?
Last night's murder victim identified as Hispanic, although court records list him otherwise.

Monday crime summary
Knucklehead steals car, leads police on a chase, crashes into MTA Mobility vehicle.
Hookers and illegal immigrants in Howard County.
When the cops tell you to drop your assault rifle it's generally a good idea to do as they tell you. I've never heard of a "22-caliber assault rifle" though, sounds like the description of the weapon is a little questionable.
Dead body in Dundalk. Supposedly there are no signs of foul play, but OCME will be doing an autopsy.
A 29-year old man was shot dead near Westside Elementary School.
A new Gregg Bernstein ad is out. This one features the mother of murder victim Angelo Dangerfield. Dangerfield's alleged killers weren't prosecuted because there was only a single witness.

Bubbles, Troubles & Nuk Nuk
Judge David Ross: DNA evidence will be admitted in trial of alleged murderers of Ken Harris. And more on how the alleged killers were caught: "Weeks after the killing of Harris, an anonymous caller said he recognized one of the men in surveillance videos from the Northwood Shopping Plaza as 'Troubles,' one [of] two brothers known as 'Bubbles' and 'Troubles.'"
