Owing in large part to MD's limp-dick intimidation laws, the McAbier firebombing case has gone federal.
At a hearing yesterday morning, Robert Lee Fox, Sr., 65, pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Judge John C. Themelis sentenced Fox to 10 years in prison, suspending all but four years, with two years' probation and ordered Fox to stay away from the victim’s family. On December 7, 1963 Fox murdered 3-year old Howard January by pushing him down a stairwell.

For some reason the Big Papers are both covering on B-more's shooty ways today. The L.A. Times published a piece today about Baltimore's "Bleak Math of Killings" (Login "fortheloveofbug", password "menot.com"). The New York Times has an excellent report on our "meaner" streets (but Charles and Pratt is "tony"?). If you're not registered at the NYT use login "downwiththis" password "holahola". And the Sun published a positive editorial about the mayor's Operation Safe Kids program.
And were the O'Malley extramarital-affair rumors started by a player-hater in the Ehrlich administration? Wouldn't surprise me a bit. But I digress...

I actually have met and interviewed the fired guy, Joe Steffan, when I was reporting on insurance administration issues. He got promoted from a low to high office in a very short time. Smart but cynical as hell to the point of being amoral, which I guess is a good thing for PR people. The republicans are very us v. them, and I blieve that he did this and at the same time don't blame him, that's being a good PR person, a good employee. He's taking the flak for doing his job as he sees it.
But let's say it is true... what's a PR guy in the Ehrlich administration doing e-mailing that around?!
