Preston and Jason: Standing their Ground
Brandon Washington, 26, #18, was removed from the toll after his killing was ruled justifiable self-defense. Reported Justin Fenton, "Court records describe Preston Feaster and Jason Ingram barricading themselves inside a home as a group of men armed with handguns shot into the house. Fearing for their lives in a neighborhood where calling the authorities is a last resort for some residents, they shot back from an upstairs window, killing 26-year-old Brandon Washington and injuring Darries Sommerville, who was 17 at the time, police say."
Recanting witnesses and gas can photos in the dog-burning trial, which is scheduled to continue on Monday.
The Court of Appeals today will hear the case of women married in California who hoped to divorce in Maryland and were turned down. Wacky fact from CBS: "Maryland law bars an uncle and a niece from marrying, but the state will recognize that marriage if it legally occurred in another state." Some news sources are reporting this story as unprecedented, but that's not exactly true. .. I swear I remember reading about a lesbian child-custody case in The Daily Record in Baltimore County in the late '90s, too, anyone else remember that one?
Down in the marshier part of the county, rough-looking duo John Joseph Leschefsky Jr., 27, and Carollyn Robin Duschl, 29, were charged with the murder of Jeffrey Jennings, 57, motive unknown.
In Cockeysville, two guys were arrested after trying to rob the Alpha Gold Exchange, and a copper thief was arrested in Pikesville.

So Dante Parrish got life for the rape, gagging and slaughter of fey 15-year-old Jason Mattison. His fine Christian mom and grandma kicked him out because they thought he was gay, leaving him to die like a pig while his junkie aunt and her friends nodded off nearby.
In other gay news, documents revealed the National Organization for Marriage's plans to divide gays, women, blacks and Latinos by un-defining marriage as a civil right (sound familiar?), calling women 'bigots,' embracing the traditional Mexican family and spinning a yarn about the marginalization and repression of Christianity. Mitt Romney, who won the primary here last night, gave NOM $10,000 in '08. NOM has pledged to spend at least $1 million to defeat same-sex marriage in Maryland, and are, of course, currently using those ducets to get gay citizens' civil rights put up for a vote in the fall.

Wut whoa Scoob
Sounds like it's a dog's life for prosecutors down at the animal-cruelty trial. Luke Broadwater reports that a key witness in the case against is refusing to testify. Tiera Goodman, 25 -- who, before she went to jail on unrelated charges, reportedly lived in the the 800 block of Braddish Ave. and (presumably) collected $1,000 for testifying against the brothers in the first trial-- now says she'd rather serve six more months than testify again*, and the judge granted her wish. Another young witness, Michael Taylor, 22, "spent much of the afternoon yawning at prosecutors' questions, mumbling barely audible responses and smirking with the defendants."

"but at what risk?"
A long North Baltimore crime blotter from the Patch: lots of larcenies from autos, and the CVS at 25th and Charles was robbed of prescription drugs.
Uhm, whut? "a former Baltimore police officer accused of killing his neighbor is now charged with possession of child pornography."
The headline ruins the story dept: "Police allow bystanders to tape* arrest, but at what risk?" .. the police don't allow it, the Supreme Court allows it. Maybe a better headline would be like "Some police officers made uncomfortable by people with iPhones." Comfortable schmumfortable. I'm not comfortable with drones over Baltimore, "security" workers reading everybody's emails and monitoring everybody's phone calls, strip searches for running a red light, people being held indefinitely in a network of foreign prisons with no charges ... but fuck me, according to the Tribune Co. we're all supposed to be worried about the risk of officers being weirded out by a guy recording stuff on his phone. I think they can handle it.

Man, 59, 900 block of Valley Street near Latrobe Homes
Another man armed with a "knifelike weapon" shot by police! This guy was on Callow Avenue.
Gregg Bernstein is going to try another case-- this one = murder.
Prosecutors say they won't seek the death penalty* against the alleged killers of Cherrie Gammon. Why that would have even been on the table I'm not sure, was there a videotaped confession or DNA evidence?
What the fark? Three nine-year-olds and an eight-year-old were arrested at Morrell Park Elementary/Middle School and taken away in handcuffs. As IV posted, Keith Daniels interviewed the adorable little members of the Killer Hit Squad gang, one of whom allegedly held a kid's head underwater and threatened to drown him. "I didn't aggravate no one or assault no one," says little Mackenna, adding, "I was taught to hit somebody back when they hit me, so I did." More from the Sun
In Germantown, an abortion clinic landlord serves up Revenge Lite™ on protestors. More from the WaPo

Perverts!!
A woman was sexually assaulted in the Pen Lucy neighborhood last night
Not Baltimore but... can you imagine having your job be to look at child pornography all day? Gah! I wonder what Julie Drake does to not go insane. Related: child sex offender George H. Jones Jr. was convicted Wednesday for attacking his 10-year-old stepdaughter.
The man shot by police on Cold Spring Lane was not wielding a knife, but a "knifelike object." He's been identified as Sheron Jackson, 21, and for the first time in years the BPD has identified the officer: Michael Gordon, 25.
Testimony has begun in the re-trial of the Johnson twins, accused of setting a pit bull terrier on fire.
A 15th suspect has pleaded guilty to fraud and identity theft charges in a scheme that stole credit card numbers from people who owed money to the Johns Hopkins School of Business. Here's a business question, who has to suck up that $880,000?
A decade in prison for a NJ guy who brought cocaine bricks to MD in a rental car.
Tweeted by Fenton: a court opinion defines "rough ride."
Yeah, I know I already blogged this story about the House passing a bill that will retroactively make the no-bid contracts for the $tate Center projects legal. But I am still pissed off so I'm posting it again.

Springtime, when a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of ...
rioting and stabbing the shit outta people! (Apologies to Tennyson) St Patrick's day weekend, young men and women flashmobbed, converging on Canton and the Harbor, carrying on a decades-long tradition of wilding in the streets as soon as weather permits. Imagine if they actually put all of those ranging teenage hormones to a purpose, protesting against the youth jail with Occupy and the Algebra project, perhaps! Singing songs and carrying signs!
#35, a man shot in the chest on Imla St.
And our favorite drunk-driving bongload-smoking Olympic medalist is reportedly trying to quietly unload his Harbor East condo for a million-and-something.

Could anyone's interests possibly be served by cancer patients sitting in jail? .. and could the federal law-enforcement $$ have anything to do with O'Malley's position...?
And what to make of O'Malley going against the very study his administration paid to have done and going ahead with building a new $70-$100 million kiddie jail? Yes, he can find the money to build jails but not to fix schools, y'all.

Fake genitals; fetus-murder charges dropped
A city officer who was dating a relative of a suspect in the Monae Turnage murder has been suspended.
Murder charges have been dropped against the NJ doctors who started an abortion in one state, finished it in another and stashed fetuses in the freezer.
Fake genitals were found on a guy arrested for indecent exposure at Anne Arundel Community College, begging the question, is it indecent exposure if what's exposed is plastic?
Speaking of make-believe genitals, the NYker is reporting that in Lawrence v. Texas, no sodomy ever actually took place; the most "deviant" thing police saw was "sexually explicit art on the walls, notably a pencil drawing of a naked James Dean with oversized genitals."
Finally, the "Atlantic Wire" says that the Sun says that wiretaps of "Snoop" (Felicia Pearson) reveal her to be, in real life, a nice person just looking for some "ew-we," wtvr the f that is.

SRB to Obama: Bmore Won't Enforce Your Immigration Laws
Baltimore joins with DC in refusing to enforce federal immigration laws locally. The Obama administration seemingly can't win -- it's deported more undocumented immigrants than any other and is trying to pilot a program here to prioritize violent criminals and leave otherwise law-abiding residents alone, yet both the rat wangers and the liberals are enraged, and the Mayor's order takes it a step beyond keeping ICE out of Central Booking: "No City department, agency, officer or employee shall discriminate against any resident of Baltimore City based on confirmed or suspected race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, immigration status, and/or inability to speak English."

Parrish jury deliberating
A jury is deliberating the guilt of 15-year-old Jason Mattison's (alleged) killer Dante Parrish. Mattison, who wanted to be a medic, was kicked out of his mom and grandma's house because they thought he was gay. He was slashed to death at his great-aunt's house with a box cutter while she and her addict friends nodded off downstairs. Parrish admitted to police that he beat and gagged Mattison. I wonder if his mom, grandma or aunts have been in the courtroom...?
$70k Payout approved for dad stomped by cops while holding tot
The Board of Estimates approved a $70k settlement to a man and his toddler son who were roughed up." TDR and The Sun's Luke Broadwater reports that at issue were the events of Aug. 28, 2009 when two Baltimore police officers arrested Tyrode Gibbs Sr., who was sitting on the front steps of a vacant property along with his 2-year-old son, Tyrode Gibbs Jr. The vacant property had a "No Trespassing" sign posted, and the officers instructed Gibbs and his son to leave, but he said he was "seeking shelter from the rain," the documents say. ... The lawsuit alleged the officers beat Gibbs to the ground, kicking and stomping him while he was still holding his son in his arms. During the altercation, one of the officers struck the 2-year-old and sprayed mace on the elder Gibbs, the lawsuit alleged."

Owings Mills HS Grad pleads Guilty at Guantanamo
Is the president starting to clean out Guantanamo?
Accused Al-Qiada member and Owings Mills high grad Majid Khan, left, the only U.S. resident imprisoned at the American naval base in Cuba, entered guilty pleas to charges of supporting terrorism while living in Pakistan. (Non-paywall link here.)
In 2005, Khan's lawyers had asked the U.S. government to save videotapes of him made while he was being tortured during this three years of detention in a CIA foreign prison, probably at "the Salt Pit" and/or Poland. Within a week of Khan's lawyers' requests the CIA destroyed the tapes.
Related: a House Judiciary Committee meeting on indefinite detentions of Americans and the NDAA is going on right now.

Stolen Cop Cars, Bodies in the Harbor, and Much More...
A man was shot and killed by County police just inside the city line this morning after stealing a cop car, leading police on a chase, and threatening several officers.
Police found a mysterious body floating in the Inner Harbor Monday.
Peter Hermann has a follow up on the city workers busted for drinking and gambling. Spoiler alert, most of the cases fell apart.*
With a trial coming up soon for two officers, new details in the Majestic Towing case have come to light.*
Police are ISO a photogenic suspect caught on camera robbing a man. It's good to know that even with cameras are pointed directly at the ATM, that won't stop someone from robbing you.
The man shot to death Sunday has been id'd as 19-year-old Shayvon Booker.
45 years for Isiah Crowder, 21, who was convicted of shooting his life-long friend Isiah Gordon back in August of 2010.
Two shootings Sunday, including one in the 4700 block of Alhambra Ave, and the other in the 2800 block of Hillen Rd.
Keep on the lookout for hazel-eyed Aaron Parker, who walked away from his halfway house and never came back.
A series of sexual crimes in Catonsville have police on edge. First a woman was abducted and raped a woman walking along North Bend Rd. The second incident was a case of creepy gas station attendant Muhammad Zaman, 45, getting a little too intimate with a woman pumping gas.
Three robbers entered a Owings Mills jewelry store looking for cash, had to settle for diamonds instead. Chawn Rodney Harris, 38, Keenan James Thomas, 20, and Corey Jamal Jennings, 19, have been busted for the bungled heist.
Baltimore heroin dealer Donald Wright, age 42, has been sent away for the next 12 years.
Baltimore's own homegrown terrorist Antonio Martinez, 22, has plead guilty to charges related to his attempt to blow up an armed forces recruitment center. Martinez is expected to be given a 25-year term when sentenced.
A Cecil County tractor heist went bad, leaving one dead and three on the lam.
I realize this news is almost a year old, but I don't recall ever seeing it reported anywhere. Famed "Stop Snitching" host Ronnie "Skinny Suge" Thomas got 12 years in state prison to be served consecutively with his 19 year federal sentence. Goes to show that as serious a committing a murder is, the only way to really get in the BPD's doghouse is to be featured on Anderson Cooper rapping about said murders.

Drones over Baltimore!
You're not paranoid if they're really out to get you! -- more than one reader has reported seeing what sounds like "Raven" law-enforcement drones flying over Baltimore's East-side neighborhoods, 95 and the Harbor area, hovering around houses and also trailing specific cars.
.. anyone else see these??

Scheming, looting, feeling frisky
The Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of Van Smith and the City Paper, deeming the reporting on the Redwood Trust double murder "fair and accurate".
And the CP's story on the sentencing of JR Blackwell also nicely pulls together the tales of the Blackwell's businesses, real estate, shootouts, kidnappings and money-laundering enterprises.
Oh, this is bad. The (former, I hope) VP of Harbor Financial, Ralph Edward Thomas, Jr., was indicted on mail fraud after bilking a cerebral palsy victim and and elderly woman suffering from dementia.
Down on the shore, a Baltimorean assaulted a guy with some Liquid-Plumr over a $10 bet.
Another residency scandal: the deputy mayor Kaliope Parthemos lives in the county. Also, she is apparently being stalked by someone with a magic marker*. And she's hawt!
Three years in prison for Larry Alston, a freaky-looking dog abuser.
There's a find: a 1971 newspaper clip in which Frank Conaway Sr. advocates stop-n-frisk. I suspect he's changed his mind since.
Page Croyder: O'Malley puts politics before leadership. Well, duh. And taste was not the same as appetite when the gov breakfasted with same-sex marriage supporters today. In other politicky news, Fenton reports that Ehrlich used campaign funds to pay for Shurick's defense. I'm sure his donors are thrilled about that.
WJZ has a neck-up pic of the pantsless priest.
And the tomb-looting case against Robert E. Hecht Jr. is over in Italy, as the statue of limitations ran out. Hecht is a descendant of the department-store Hechts, and sold some of his "finds" to the Walters in the 50s.

Thought to ponder...
From this week's NYker: there are more Americans in jail now than Stalin ever held in a gulag, more black men in jail than were slaves in 1850.
The sad, the bad and the stupid
Steven "J.R." Blackwell was sentenced to 20 years in the federal pen; his dad is already there.* Like Al Capone, twas the tax evasion that led to his undoing.
Thirteen years for "Big Man" Fauntleroy for selling the crack at the Gilmor homes.
And a decade in the federal pen for hairron dealing for Lamont Causion, 40 (no nickname given).
Oh, Baltimore Guide Police Blotter. "Someone broke into a parked car, stole the radio and set the car on fire." Also stolen: junk food and Ravens playoff tickets. In the Southeast, a woman "took exception" to being called a "dirty bitch," and a man stabbed at a bar left a blood trail.
The Supreme Court is backing privacy rights? It's true, police can't stick warrantless GPSes on car underparts any more.
Today in Annie McCann updates, Vaccaro's waitress says she served Annie McCann* a cappuccino and a cannoli, Anthony Guglielmi told Peter Hermann, then recanted, that the McCann's had a sketch of the waitress* generated with the help of a psychic. What a sad picture that is (left)-- the Sabrina Harman un-Duchenne.
To what do we owe last year's reduction in crime? One theory: Federal grants that helped the state & locals arrest violent offenders with outstanding warrants*.
Well there's an unexpected twist: a guy arrested for the 2000 murder of Heidi Bernadzikowski, 24, was *not* the one who took out a $700,000 life insurance policy* on her.
In Glen Burnie, a man was arrested after pulling a gun on a door-to-door salesman. Shoulda pulled a gun on that barber!
Animal-abuser registry: good idea?
The WaPo reveals that the Ehrlich campaign paid Paul E. Schurick's legal fees. And *irony alert*-- Ehrlich is set to write a column for the Sun.
Pervy corner: a priest with no pants, a Wicomico teacher accused of repeatedly boning a student in a classroom.

A man shot in the head in a barbershop on West Baltimore Street.
And one more added to last year's toll: a guy who set himself on fire, killing his mother.
Ten years for Kadeem R. Santiful, implicated in the Skateworks rape.

Have you seen..
This guy who exposed his sin bits then tried to rape a woman in Guilford Gateway Park? That's the face of a short African-American man, They say.

Now where did I put those?
Annie McCann's parents claims that OCME threw away her organs after her autopsy. The parents are also planning legal action against the state.

An unidentified man was found shot in the head and dead near a playground in the 4300 block of Cedar Garden Road.
The parents of Annie McCann, the 16-year-old Virginia girl mysteriously found dead in 2008 may have a "significant new investigative lead."*
A man and a woman were shot Tuesday in separate incidents.
Just two years for Gale Terera Roland, 53, who shook another woman's baby to death.
5 years in the Federal slammer for Kimberly McIntosh, a less then likely BGF leader. City Paper has more info on the single mom turned gang chieftain.
Third generation criminal Dion "Dummy" Fauntleroy Jr, age 28, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for leading the Gilmore Homes drug conspiracy.
In a nearly a months period the Baltimore County Regional Warrant Apprehension Task Force snagged up 382 wanted criminals.
Matthew L. Wood, 30, is in hot water after striking a state trooper with his car.
10 well earned years in Federal lockup for sex offender Windsor Warner Kessler III, 25. Interestingly enough, according to online court records it appears his namesake, Kessler Jr. or possibly even Kessler Sr. was a police officer for several years. I could be wrong, but I'm under the impression Windsor Kessler is not a common name.
Finally Baltimore career criminal Matthew Craighead, 28, has been exiled for the next 15 years after trying to shoot several people outside the Velvet Rope Night Club.

Dragged away
Life for three guérilleros noirs "Petey," "Snags" and "Jim Dog," implicated in the kidnapping, robbery, and murder of Qonta Waddell. You may remember this story, Waddell was kidnapped, kicking, screaming and hogtied, hanging on his mother's leg*.
Two shootings, on Gorsuch Avenue and Terra Firma Road, respectively
The CP's Ink recounts last week's murder of James Hunter.
Six Occupy Baltimore protestors were arrested on MLKJr. day (by State Troopers, oddly) in front of the juvenile jail, and most concerning, media were not allowed to watch and threatened with arrest. In other Occupy news, the Sun obtained emails of one-percenters grousing to city officials about having to see McKeldin Square from their office windows (and uploaded the emails to a document cloud).
And in case you missed it, after Jack Young criticized the Grand Prix, SRB revoked his Ravens skybox tickets*. (Re. the Grand Prix-- don't cities usually have insurance to prevent against loss from events like that?)
A couple of armed robberies in the Patch blotter of the Northern, and someone reportedly tried the door handle of SRB's car. Two years ago, someone broke into her husband's car and stole a satellite system. I hope the police also told him that irksome canard about how it's his own fault for having anything valuable in the car in the first place.
Got honey nut? Michael K. Williams (aka Omar) is appearing in a Marylanders for Marriage Equality ad. And a county lawmaker is trying to pass a gender-identity anti-discrimination bill. Opponents say the bill is just going to encourage sexual predators to cross-dress so they can use women's bathrooms.

Arc of Justice Long, Bending
Death penalty opponents are rallying in Annapolis today.
Occupy Baltimore is rallying at the proposed site of the new juvenile justice center.
CC president Jack wants to rein in spending on police training programs.
A Dundalk man got stabbed in the head when he tried to break up a catfight.
The roof of civil rights landmark Read's Drug Store has collapsed.
Ship employee (one site says a "pool boy") is accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl on the Enchantment of the Seas.
The Sun's Yvonne Wenger revisits patricides past in a not-very-enlightening article. Wonder what Nicholas Browning looks like/is doing these days.
