September 29 afternoon
Today Judge David Ross denied a defense motion to transfer David James Marshall, 14, to juvenile court (!!!). He will remain charged as an adult in Baltimore City Circuit Court. Marshall is scheduled for trial October 30, 2006. The Baltimore City Grand Jury indicted Marshall May 5, 2006 for first-degree murder, two counts of robbery deadly weapon and four counts of kidnapping. Court documents allege that on April 20 at 1404 Kuper Street, Marshall and a co-defendant broke into the house, announced a robbery, and shot and killed an occupant of the home, Robert Atkinson, 47. Marshall remains held without bail in the Baltimore City Detention Center.

FYI, the murder scene at 1404 Kuper sits immediately behind the former Southwest District headquarters of many years of the Baltimore City Police Department.
Get In On It.
Oh, and by the way, since Mr. O'Malley keeps insisting that Pat Jessamy null prosses cases because she wants to, rather than because they are bad cases, maybe he should just run for that office rather than Governor, being the legal eagle he is.
I'd love to see NO'Malley try some of the crap these young officers are told to write up and even more so the stuff they don't, which gets released without charges.
Cybes, didja notice we published on the State Police issue in stereo again?
warning: long comment follows
I may not be the most objective journalist anyone's ever seen, and that will probably be the case until my life expectancy is determined more by prostate cancer than by the likelihood of being murdered in Baltimore B.
That change, is seems, will not be forthcoming as long as a certain Gubernatorial candidate or his cohorts have anything to do with the police conduct hereabouts. In other words, I could die of old age waiting to not be shot.
Spiffy. But if I'm going to die in the gutter, I'd at least like the truth to come out about who was responsible and who refused outside intervention which could have saved lives.
The issues of state trooper deployments in Baltimore and civil rights violations encouraged by the O'Malley administration are not unrelated.
BCPD officials apparently thought they could have State Police manpower placed at their disposal, under their supervision.
But the Governor's office is responsible for the conduct of all state troopers, including any operating under BCPD command.
Since BCPD command is fundamentally suspect for really well-documented reasons, troops could only be deployed in Baltimore with full and independent authority to enforce the laws of the State of Maryland and City of Baltimore. That is, they'd still be working for the State and not taking orders from the City.
Since Kristin Mahoney of BCPD clearly refused such authorization, the State can not supply State Police here, other than pursuant to a declaration of local emergency.
So, when Comm. Hamm tells you the assistance was requested and welcome, recall that it was not. Not in a legally sufficient manner.
When he tells you 'we' reduced crime, please remind him that crime is up on his watch and that he cannot even seem to sufficiently staff his patrol unit.
The 'we' which most influenced the count of crimes in this town was the bean-counters who cook the books. And the cops who persuade citizens to allow more unreported crime.
Baltimore B: a good place to die in.
Kirsten Mahoney is an administrative civilian, she can't authorize police action or anything else operational.
She speaks for the Commish. If she overstepped, fine. Fire her.
An as-yet unidentified male was shot dead in the head yesterday afternoon at Park Heights & Quantico.
Didn't the state police "raid" the "block" on Baltimore Street a few years ago?
How were they able to operate in Baltimore at that time? Was there some sort of temporary authorization? Liquor Board?
Wasn't there some sort of political fallout from that raid?
Most jurisdictions are very encouraging of state police assistance, although municipalities can be protective of their perogatives within their boundaries.
It seems to me that if Baltimore leadership wishes to preclude the deployment of state troops under state command, then they need to cough up the manpower to do the job properly themselves. And promptly.
