A man fatally shot on McClean Blvd
Shocking! Cheating & fraud found at two city public schools
Julius Henson's lawyer accused Gansler of trying to "score political points." (Gansler is expected to run for governor in 2014, really?)

Officer mowed down
on Northbound 83, police spokesperson says she was thrown down a 30-foot embankment
Meister to file motion to dismiss
as Belinda Conaway's lawyer owns up to his client's 'inadvertent' tax fraud
Liberties
Len Lazarick does a nice little state politics roundup if you're into that kind of thing. He always seems fair and balanced, though I hear the MD Reporter is funded by the Franklin Center, a "right leaning" North Dakota group with ties to the libertarian Koch brothers and pro-Walkerites in Madison, WI. Most interesting...
Edge-tomb Circle
Man shot to death last night in the 2900 block of S. Edgecombe Circle (a rue familière to regular readers)

Gitit gurl!
... the local news is full of corpses today, but they can stay dead because I am giddy with happiness that finally a Baltimore musician has achieved International-level celebrity (the first since Mario, right?) ... if you haven't checked out Rye Rye yet you oughter, she's an M.I.A.-protege now with a soon-to-heavily rotate 104.3-ful single with Robyn. Here she is performing somewhere in Baltimore (& awesome official video for "Hardcore Girls", is that her grandma?) ... & a Britney Spears cover with a video that looks like it was filmed in juvie. You must love her!
Ok, back to corpses...

Henson -> Icing -> Cake
Slumlord Watch reports that alleged robo-calling mastermind Julius Henson is also owner of a weed-tree riddled aspiring crack house on Liberty Heights Ave.
That's going to hurt
The Maryland Court of Appeals has overturned the convictions of triple-child killers Policarpio Espinoza Perez and Adan Canela.
Rats!
Ehrlich's aides Julius Henson and Paul Schurick were indicted for conspiracy to violate election laws for those "relax" robocalls, and Bykowicz + Linskey have all the deets. Apparently the call list came from Henson's previous clients...
TDR bullet-points the Office of Legislative Audits' shocking discoveries in Frank Conaway's office
"'Beware the Ides of March,' Julius Caesar was warned before he was stabbed to death on March 15. But Michael Smith, an inmate in the Maryland correctional system, had no such warning on March 15, 2007," sayeth Van Smith, when members of the Bloods gang, allegedly angered by his performance as a behind-bars pot dealer, stabbed him in a prison van. Now his meticulous lawsuit exposes the City Detention Center's piss-poor non-efforts at controlling gang networks
Blog comment of the day: "dontae nichols u need to die for shootng montrell williams i hope brun in hell"
Owner of Cockeysville's Padonia Park Club, a "swim and child care center," charged in child porn case. "... detectives seized a Dell laptop computer with images of young girls that Rigger allegedly used at the Jennifer Road pool and at his home." Wait, what?
and don't miss Rat Bites Cop, replete with a photo of the perp in a baggie

Oh, Frank
What is it going to take for the city to get rid of this doddering bozo whose incompetence cost taxpayers $7.8 MILLION in just one year?
.. two more fatal shootings bring the mid-year toll to 93.
& shiteous father->mother- & two-daughter stabbing this morning in Crofton.
and Baltimoreans' life expectancy is a smidge better than it was a decade ago, but still some sobering numbers, eg. "average life expectancy in Hollins Market is 20 years shorter than in wealthier Roland Park." (also see "Shocking Stats Dept.")
What's going on at Hopkins? A whole lotta shroomin'!

Closet-peeping HoCo video pedocop pleads
Former Laurel police officer pled guilty to receiving kid porn about a year after HoCo police discovered he'd placed a hidden camera in a minor female’s closet and possessed sadomasochistic images and videos of children under 12. And in Bowie, one John Shutt pled guilty to possessing and distributing child porn, a hobby he admits to dabbling in for the past quindecade.
... In honor of these pervs I've added Tiger, Tiger to the librury-- horrific-but-enlightening memoir of a woman's 14-year relationship with a pedophile. Also the Gift of Fear, which I now have to re-read to get over being traumatized by the memoir.
