How in the world did I miss this story?
The Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office has announced that they will seek the death penalty against the hitman who murdered William Porter and Porter's wife who ordered the hit.

Hoodlumery in Hampden
Thursday night homicide in Lansdowne.
The liquor board fined a couple of titty bars on The Block for prostitution.
Here's a weird/sad one. A 73-year old cab driver from Hampden got beaten to hell in April and died of his injuries on Tuesday. The 3500 block of Elm Avenue isn't exactly what I'd call a violent crime hotspot.
The ALF-CIO has endorsed Pat Jessamy. I'm still trying to figure out how the race for State's Attorney is relevant to a labor union.
This knucklehead robbed a Safeway in Annapolis and managed to shoot himself in the process. WJZ says he requested "treatment for a self-conflicted shot." Self-conflicted?

What a shocker...
Registered sex offender arrested for sex offense, according to this poorly written, apparently unedited article. (Look, ma, no hyphen!)
Highlights: "Then Mason drove to a business in the Annapolis area to purchase food and was accompanied by the 13-year-old female." Nice way to start a sentence...
"One of the females text a family member stating that the juveniles were scared and needed assistance."
"Mason was arrested and charged with Second Degree Rape, Perverted Practice and Contributing to a Mino." He contributed to a mino? Helping out needy birds is a crime now?

Roundup
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?
Police intentionally run over some dummies.
Detectives are reviewing 18 months of data on City rape reports.
It's hot out, people. Don't leave your dogs in the car.
Missing a credit card? Terrell Reid might have it.
City Councilman reimburses taxpayers for that food we bought him. At least he wasn't using gift cards...

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.

An Ellicott City man convicted by the Federales of securities fraud will get a new trial.
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.
