the daily dismal

Last week's four murders in the Ink

Mexican murdered in Cockeysville

An arrest in the murder of security guard James Ball

And an arrest in the South Baltimore pub-crawl stabbing

City police mad at school police for not reporting 8-year-old with gun

Seriously? The CP reports that Maryland is the only state in the nation without a criminal child-neglect law. Bills 962 and 757 would change that, but child advocates say the legislation is flawed.

Twin-brother burglars arrested


"Dwyer undeterred still on Gansler impeachment effort"

A change to MD's child-support guidelines

Once again, the murder of security guard Ball could have been easily prevented.

Arrested for his murder is Eric Rose, a resident of Better Waverly, who should have been in prison for armed robbery and who, like most offenders in Better Waverly, reoffended and had his probation violated. His sentence: more probation. For a violent offender.

This guy has been in the criminal justice system on multiple occasions. He should not have been out in the community.

Now a security gurad is dead because we don't incapacitate known violent offenders in Baltimore.

AND the Dept. of Corrections thinks it wants to address the budget deficit by letting these guys back onto the street early.

Oops. The link doesn't go through.

Well, his sentence for Circuit Court Case Number: 206222009 was:

Verdict: GUILTY Verdict Date:09/07/2006

Sentence Starts: 05/29/2006 Sentence Date:09/07/2006

Sentence Time: Yrs:08 Mos:00 Days:00Confinement :NC

Suspended Time: Yrs:06 Mos:00 Days:00

Probation Time: Yrs:03 Mos:00 Days:00Type:Supervised


He should not be on the outside, having been sentenced to 8 years and violated his probation already.

Don't worry Galt. He'll get the 20 years (suspend all but 5) he deserves for taking a human life.

The break-ins in Charles Village just keep on going.

So who's responsible for lsuch a ferkakta sentence? does eight years, six suspended, three years' probation mean he was released that day?

Reading this story made my stomach hurt. I suppose that's outrage. Will things ever change?
