Brandon Grimes Guilty of 1st-Degree Murder

From the SA's Office:
A Baltimore City jury convicted Brandon Grimes, 23, of the 800 block of Cator Ave. today of first-degree murder, use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence and wear/carry/transport a handgun. The two-week trial ended yesterday and the jury deliberated approximately four hours over two days before reaching its verdict.

Judge Timothy J. Doory ordered a pre-sentence investigation be completed and scheduled sentencing for October 21, 2008.

In the early morning hours of January 9, 2007 Brandon Grimes fatally shot Baltimore Police Detective Troy Lamont Chesley, Sr. in the 4500 block of Fairfax Rd. as Chesley was returning home from his shift.

Assistant State’s Attorney Kevin Wiggins of the Homicide Division prosecuted this case.

Ah, yes, I hope Brandon Grimes is executed in the same fashion. I understand he had no forethought that this man was a Police Officer; however, animals like this should be made an example of. How about we let him live and kill his mother, father (if he has one) or some other important person in his family.

Baltimore City is a wasteland of worthless human beings!!!
