January 2

A bit more about the circumstances that surround 2008's first murder, and some additional info about the investigation into whether Kerri King killed Courtney Brooks with her SUV.

Speaking of alleged asshole drunks, a 24-year-old construction worker from Ohio is being arraigned today on five counts of aggravated vehicular homicide. He received minor injuries in the crash that killed a mother and four kids from Parkville.

Luke Broadwater's long-awaited recap of Baltimore City's 2007 homicides has been published, along with a list of December's murder victims.

Three victims are listed in today's Murder Ink.

Salisbury had their first homicide of 2007 in mid-December.

A curious comment in article about Edgewood citizens who are tired of local violence: "Without the ability or authority to discipline their children, parents end up ceding that responsibility to police." Ummmmm... so why exactly don't parents have the ability or authority to discipline their children?

A 31-year-old genius refused to drop the gun he was firing into the air to celebrate the New Year, and was rewarded with a police bullet to the gut.

We've come to expect stabbings and armed robberies, but for the love of God, leave our vodka alone!

The investigation into Anthony McCarthy's rather mysterious "inappropriate behavior" has been completed.

A bunch of cars in Canton were vandalized.

Sheila D. will be attending a screening of The Wire at the Senator on Saturday. David Simon is going after the fine folks at the Sun this season.

"Turn over those files, BCPD.", said the judge.

Inmate on the run after escaping from a hospital in Laurel. According to the Sun, "Man shot in head during carjacking outside hospital, police say," but the good news is that "there were reports that shots were fired in the building but no reports of injuries, police said" (caption under the photo).

Prisoners serving life sentences like that asshole who escaped in Laurel shouldn't be taken to the hospital for medical care. If whatever ails them can't be treated at the prison infirmary then tough shit. It's dumb to waste money on medical care for human trash.

Interesting theory, P. So when we have a breakout of TB in Jessup, we'll just let it run its course.

My suggestion would still provide inmates with decent quality primary care, which is more than what most of the world's population gets. I don't see why rapists and murderers are entitled to anything better than that.

Good news, the escaped scumbag was shot and killed by police.

I'm confused. The Examiner article said they found the vehicle that was used to run over the MTA officer at a truck stop. But the guy who owns the vehicle was arrested at his home in Elkton. What'd he do -- walk from the truck stop and leave his car? Or did he call someone and have them pick him up? That person should be in jail, too. Jerks.

The feds got a 25-year sentence against Dwight Alonzo Hickman.
