Didn't call that one! In spite of a lying cop, no body and a mullet-ectomy, county jurors have found Dennis Testo guilty of second-degree murder of his wife, Tracey Leigh Gardner-Testo.

Life for Steven T. Hollis III, the 3rd perp accused of stabbing 18-year-old Steven Parrish. Said Hollis, "Steven is gone, but he's still my best friend."

“Paxil! Paxil! Hennessy and Paxil! Weed!"

Officer Tommy Portz, 32, was killed after rear-ending a fire truck.

Creepy! Alleged Essex home intruder Troy Thames lived only three blocks away from house he broke into, and is wanted for groping a 12-year-old

Speaking of ew, Bel Air High football players forced to miss two games after being accused of teabagging freshman team members, "disturbing acts almost too disgusting to repeat." Almost never killed a fly, Kelly McPherson!

"Keep your head up, yo"

Turns out the victim in the Rosedale Panera parking lot was the alleged perp's stepfather. The 15-year-old, Timothy Criner, will be charged as an adult with first-degree attempted murder, though the stabbing may be justified as Panera's soups taste like re-heated spooge filtered through a whore's bedsheets, and anyone who would feed them to a child deserves a slow, painful death.

Life for Jerome Williams and Charles Y. McGaney in the Harris case, 65 years for Gary Collins.

Punching cops is bad for your health

Jerome Ira Stal became the eleventh person to plead guilty in a federal investigation of pawn shops that were used for money laundering.

Melvin J. Yates claims that Howard County cops gave him a beat-down after he struggled with them during an altercation in April.

A 15-year old allegedly stabbed a man in the parking lot of a Panera (yuck) in Rosedale.

The feds convicted a Singaporean man of trying to smuggle weapons to the Tamil Tigers. Good thing for him he wasn't busted back home in Singapore!

Ken Harris's killers will be sentenced tomorrow. No word about the SA's office seeking life w/o parole, which is odd since from what I recall they were convicted of first-degree felony murder.

Testo testo-fies

"I never laid a hand on her"

Piece by Hermann about murder victim Louis Scott mulls over the eternal Baltimore question: with so many murders, how does a reporter decide who to write about?

Shady?

Three murder convictions

Marquise Evans, James Wesley Spriggs, and Craig Bobian were all recently convicted of first-degree murder in separate cases. Evans got life plus 20 years, Spriggs got life and Bobian will be sentenced on December 1.

BTW, I see lots of life sentences but hardly ever hear about someone getting life w/o parole in the City. Is the SA's office reluctant to go for LWOP?
