At approximately 10 a.m. on January 1, 2006, Holeman stabbed Michelle Denton, 49, his former girlfriend, in the throat with a knife, as she waited at a bus stop in the 300 block of West Fayette Street. The State entered into evidence seven still photographs captured from Citiwatch cameras that show the defendant fleeing the scene. One of the seven photographs positively identifies the defendant.
While the actual murder was not videotaped, several cameras captured Holeman as he ran from the crime scene, and ran up Paca and Lexington Streets. A camera operator was able to direct police officers from the crime scene to Holeman, leading to his apprehension and arrest. This is the second murder case where prosecutors have negotiated a plea agreement and have noted in the court record that camera footage would be included as evidence in the State's evidence.

fyi: for the purposes of labelling, i don't think you meant 'red light cameras.' those were police video surveillance cameras that caught the action, not red light cams.
It's been a bad day for Anne Arundel County. A 15yo is in critical condition after his idiot friend crashed they car they were in, and a cop was shot in Severna Park.
I find it interesting that the suspected bank robber caught yesterday was related to a District Police Commander in Northwest. I wonder if they had the same upbringing and why one turned to a life of crime while the other went to a life of fighting crime.
Where was the split between these two, and does it possibly suggest that people choose their paths in life instead of having a criminal life hoisted on them by society's ills such as poverty.
Um,... yeah. It does.
On that subject, you'll notice from today's paper that Del. Curt Anderson justifies his bill to let loose the drug dealers on the overtly racial basis that 'black people can't afford to get off drugs', which is kinda curious because they certainly can't afford to stay on them without breaking the law, which he apparently thinks is sorta OK. (Neat lawmakers we have here.) Also, way to go, makind drug-dealing a designated black profession.
The interesting thing about his bill to help underprivileged young black drug dealers is that it is supported by his colleague, Del. Maggie McIntosh, who lives in a neighborhood with fewer than 8% black residents, so it seems she has in mind to set them loose, but only into our neighborhoods, not hers.
I have a cool idea: her neighborhood is fighting off the 'terrifying menace' of a reopening Johns Hopkins fraternity about a block from Maggie's house. Why not turn it into a transitional residential facility for all the repeat drug dealers she wants to grant parole to ?? I mean, I'm sure she wouldn't want to be perceived as... hypocritical or anything.
