November 28

Tannea Bullock and Lawrence Watson plead guilty today in connection with the January 2005 death of their one-month old infant son, Joshua. Bullock plead to manslaughter, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and child abuse resulting in death, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years. Lawrence plead guilty to reckless endangerment and was sentenced to time served. In accordance with the terms of the plea agreement announced in open Court, Bullock is scheduled to be sentenced January 30, 2007. She faces a maximum sentence of 20 tears with a referral to Patuxent Institution. Statement of Facts:
On January 5, 2005 at their residence in the 4800 block of Liberty Heights Avenue, Bullock and Watson said that they awakened at 5 a.m. and found Joshua cold and unresponsive. Watson called 911. Emergency operators performed CPR and rushed Joshua to Sinai Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The medical examiner found loop-shaped scars and signs of blunt force trauma to the right side of Joshua's body, skull fractures, hemorrhaging and contusions of the brain and 27 healing fractures to his torso. Bullock later admitted "the baby was crying and I just snapped."
Philip Carter, 18, pled guilty to robbing and beating Sun reporter Carl Schoettler, and another, less-famous old man.

The Court of Appeals is going to start Webcasting arguments, so we'll all get to watch the gay marraige thing go down.

In AAC, Albert Givens is going on trial for murder for the fifth time.

The big fat convenience-store robber turned himself in. Joseph Gregory, 33, claims to be a crackhead (I thought that made you skinny?)

Why ask why in the 14 yr old's death. Simply put : because. They felt like it. Sad indeed.

In the Queens borough of New York, Mayor Bloomberg has met with the Rev. Al Sharpton and community leaders. He defended Shawn Bell, recently killed in a barrage of 50 bullets fired by 5 officers on his wedding day, and said the number of shots fired at unarmed men "unacceptable."

Your description of the leftist rag from Calvert street was more than apt. IF they get rid of a few of the kooks around there (read: Rodricks, Marbella) and focused more on telling the complete stories I'd probably read it.

Cy, Will you be at the SAO anytime soon? I have a wedding gift for you that I can drop off there - let me know.

Isn't that sweet!
I don't know when I'll be down there, Cookie's being really chilly to me and I don't know what I did!
