County Police versus city
Justin Fentpn tells an interesting tale of some county cops wrestling a city cop to the ground. Looks like the city guy was being impolite with his gun.
Bodies in the habor
A friend of the most recent hispanic male found in harbor last week say foul play can't be ruled out.

Hope someone not on the Sun editorial board drops in to report their impressions.

'Our view'
Thanks for pointing out this bull doody, non:
"At Lamont Davis’ trial, it was hard to tell the victims from the perps; all these young people have been betrayed by society’s indifference and neglect"
ps. I love how the url for this story ends "bs-ed-davis-trial-20100409,0,5637313.story"
Somebody at Sunspot knows what time it is!
.. and anyone else find it odd that the same paper that (rightfully) kvetches about the BPD not releasing officer's names doesn't have editors sign their own editorials?

(really 46.. but 47th noted here) "An adult male, the apparent victim of a shooting, was also found dead [yesterday] about 8:30 a.m. in the 5300 block of Denmore Ave." .. and three others wounded in shootings over the weekend.
Court records via Hermann: "Youth leader" Angleo Dangerfield shot over pit bull
It's the last day of the 2010 Annapolis session, and the sex offender bill is stalling. Is it just me, but did they not pass a whole lot of anything this session?
... not crime, but dingdong that's a lotta kablingy! Minority contractors score $84.6 million in federal dollars under the "stimulus package"

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.

Media blabber
Sun's corporate parent, the Tribune Co, is preparing to exit bankruptcy. Reports the WSJ:
The settlement signals that the creditors have agreed to wipe out much of Tribune's roughly $13 billion in debt. In return, under Tribune's plan, the lenders would own the media company.

More tax dollars at work
City pays $30K to four DPW workers arrested after failing to come to the aid of police officer during an arrest. Says their attorney, the officer was white, his clients were black, 'they could have been shot.'
Rise & Shine with the BPD
From Twitter:
... the Sun reports he was at a carryout.
Another victim at the Yau Brothers?
A car chase ended in a crash in front of Captain Larry's in South Baltimore
Police and prosecutors disagree on the utility of crime cameras. How about saving $ by cutting off the blue lights? They've got to be thoroughly annoying (and humiliating) to people who have to live next to them. Wonder if any residents or homeowners have asked the city to remove the lights from their property sight lines?
GUN ARREST - Great job Central Dist. Raid @ 2100 blk Brookfield Ave yields 106 cocaine vials, 18 capsules heroin, .357 handgun. 5 arrested. 3 minutes ago via UberTwitter... IV reports that the shooting on Greenmount was fatal, the victim an elderly man

Pain & suffering
Sun: FHB III was "essentially running the department" while Hamm was chief
Two in custody after a teen was stabbed at White Marsh Mall
The Court of Appeals "will hear arguments today on whether a state cap on jury awards for pain and suffering is constitutional."
Judge Motz "dismissed a lawsuit filed by eight state prison workers who claimed a strip search for drugs violated their constitutional rights."

Helpful Bmore living tips!
Helpful Bmore living tips!
With the stabbing and the shooting and the testifying
Jury seated and trial underway in the Lamont Davis case
Skinny Suge's cohort and Tree Top Piru Antwoine Gross, 23, gets 12 years for racketeering conspiracy. Or in other words "Defendant Stabbed and Shot a Man Who was Later Murdered by other TTP Members for Testifying About the Stabbing and Shooting"
One block, two murder-victim vigils
A man shot in the torso on S Hanover St
QTD: "Conaway apologized to each and every resident of Baltimore who has ever been called for jury duty."
"A former Baltimore public works employee [Maurice Boone] has pleaded guilty to stealing more than 100,000 gallons of diesel fuel from the city and re-selling it" and "a former Maryland Transit Administration worker [David Pattwi] was sentenced to two years in prison for stealing $400,000 from bus fare boxes."
Council president Jack Young, under fire for using no water at the house he calls home, shows reporters his "damn underwear"

Butterfingers!
Another mistakenly released con, this time in Baltimore County
18-year-old Gary Knight of the Pasadena Denver Lanes Bloods got 17 years in the federal pen for drug dealing and carjacking, his pal Antonio White got 22 years for racketeering, in addition to the 40 years for handgun possession and 2nd-degree murder he got from the city. Sadly, neither press release tells us what their gang nicknames were.
And 10 federal years for hair-ron for Adrian Aulton. Aulton was apparently a co-conspirator of "Jr" and 'Turkey," who were implicated in the 2007 torture and murder of Sintia Mesa.

Reluctant witnesses in the trial of Lamont Davis
Law clinic to lose funding over chicken-poop suit
Ha! Judge who married victim to abuser says he was driven by his "Catholic conscience," adding "he had not read the case file, his standard practice." A level of diligence and scrutiny the pope himself would endorse!
Arrest in the murder of transvestite Darren Green, aka Kelly Bundy ... shockingly, the alleged perp was out of the clink with a suspended sentence.
"Bill targets public health risk from sale of used underwear"
Fifteen years after the murder of Kari Ann Sirbaugh, parents still seek answers

The high price of self-defense
There's one to tell the grandkids... first humongously fat Marvin Cook Jr. breaks into 68-year-old William Bozeman's house ... then after Bozeman shoots him, Cook falls on top of Bozeman and bleeds out all over his bed. (Natch, Cook's family says he was "set up by someone")
Small world: Cook once was charged with firing shots at police union head Mark Cherry.
Topically, "The Maryland Senate has endorsed a measure that would protect people from lawsuits if they use deadly force to defend themselves"
and speaking of fat people, AAC police are ISO a Heinie-drinking counterfeiter
Pre-trial blahblahblah in the case of Lamont Davis, accused of shooting 5-year-old Raven Wyatt.
Two arrested for Chaz Village murder of "Young Gorilla" leader
Srlsy? "Marine's father ordered to pay Westboro's court costs"
A man shot in the head in Elkridge carjacking
"No apologies from Dixon" Sunday night

Man shot by police for allegedly swallowing drugs, resisting arrest was actually choking on a Popsicle stick
Fenton on crime trends: everything's down but home invasions, "which are up considerably."
Now, that's interesting.. doesn't it seem like home invading would be a lot riskier and more effort for the perp than burgling, or robbing a business or pedestrian?
Right on! A major FBI raid of 30 business and 15 pawn stars. More from WJZ (Who buys their toiletries at a pawn shop?)
Kids held bake sales to save the police horses, but no one seems too misty-eyed about the ghetto bird becoming an endangered species
Former mayor Dixon's first one-on-one interview since her indictment will be with Richard Sher Sunday night at 6:30 on WMAR.

Look who's working?
Dan Rodricks should be happy that a convict is getting a job: Disgraced Mayor Sheila Dixon is close to being hired by the Maryland Minority Contractors Association.
The Velvet Robe Nightclub is fined $3,500 by the Baltimore Liquor Board for the riot incident on February 25th.
Personally, I blame the potholes: Officers are accused of deliberately driving a Police van erratically while a suspect was handcuffed and secured in the back, which led to the suspect's death. A $100 million wrongful death suit against the BPD is currently in the city courts.
If he were in Vegas, none of this would be happening: The House of Ruth and Women's Law Center have filed a complaint against Judge G. Darrell Russell, notorious for marrying a couple involved in a domestic violence incident.
Commissioner Bealefeld continues to raise concerns about the budget proposed by Mayor Rawlings-Blake.
