The Justice Department has returned to the city jail three years after their "scathing" report to see if improvements have been made in jail conditions.
Burglary, robbery, and six bundles of wacky tabacky in the blotter.
Robert C. Griffin, 71, is scheduled for a Circuit Court bail review and a preliminary motions hearing 9:30 tomorrow morning, before Circuit Judge Gale E. Rasin (231 Clarence Mitchell Courthouse). Griffin was found guilty in 1986 of stabbing and strangling 20-year-old Annie Cruse and leaving her body in Druid Hill Park. Last Month, Judge Raisin granted a motion for new trial due to the results from a recent DNA test.
The trial of Matthew Craighead, 22, of the 1900 block Walbrook Avenue, scheduled for yesterday, was postponed due to a witness' failure to appear. It is rescheduled for January 18, 2006.

'Twas two weeks before Xmas,
and all through the Hood,
Grandmas' houses are lit,
like so much firewood,
They rifled alike through the gifts and the trash,
Searching low and high for her kin's secret drug stash,
As they stabbed and they cut and she swore they did slay,
Her kin yet survived to deal another day.
