Media Blabber
Peter Moskos, author of "Cop in the Hood," was on Ed Norris yesterday. The podcast isn't up yet but I assume it will appear on this page eventually. In the meantime, why not listen to the Paige Croyder interview again?
Tuesday...
Brandon Morris, who was convicted of killing a corrections officer, was transferred from supermax to a federal penitentiary in Kansas. Sounds like he's made it to the big leagues.
Rozza Alston is no longer the alleged POS robber and felon. If only we could Kentucky fry him as a fitting punishment.
Impressive research: BCPD police have arrested a man for a rape that happened more than 20 years ago. CSI - Baltimore, anyone?
Plenty of thieves in Baltimore City and County, so where's Ali Baba?
You have to admire the tenacity of the County State's Attorney's office, who will pursue Life without parole for a 16 year old accused of killing another teen. No, John Galt - the County cannot annex the City.
The other side of the story: Its only fair to take an alternate view of Pat Jessamy in light of all we've recently seen. Here's one from Baltimore Magazine.
In other news, I'm considering places to host a summer Baltimore Crime get together, any suggestions?

- Residents in Govans talk about the murder of Tyrone McCray, found near a PAL center on Ivanhoe and Tunbridge
"Jewel Williams was just 4 years old in 1998 when she watched a man kill her mother and her mother's friend in a Reservoir Hill apartment ... She stayed in the apartment with the bodies for two days, caring for her 1-year-old stepbrother and trying to treat her mother's wounds with toilet paper and a toy stethoscope."
UPDATE: Nicholas Browning will be tried as an adult

Don't miss this!
"Jessamy can't do anything without Burns. They are almost the co-state's attorneys right now."
"I have a file of the things [Burns] did to undermine the police department, and a lot of it was false."
Blistering accusations from retired high-ranking prosecutor @ the State's Attorney's office, Page Croyder, who breaks down the SA's office drama 4 yr earhole (scroll down to the middle of the page)!
.. and there's more from Meister, who also dug up a link to the 2006 TDR article in which Judge Glynn calls Burns a liar.

Affirmative Action for Republicans
Was Rod J. Rosenstein hired because he was the best candidate... or because he was the best Republican candidate?
Just another Manic Monday...
The death of Tyrone McCray, who was shot and killed yesterday, has been ruled as a homicide, the City's 122nd.
Baltimore Police are investigating a shooting of a 21-year-old off of Hillen Road on Shadyside Road. I would classify that street as "ironic"...
The two men fatally shot in a Jeep on Friday have been identified as Quinton Hogan and Donell Rogers.
A 20-year veteran of BPD is attempting to clear his name amidst charges that he showed nudie pics at work. If you're going to get busted allegedly doing naughty things on the computer, why not solitaire like everyone else?
Annie Linskey describes an odd relationship between a man standing trial for drug charges and an officer who has come to his aid for an appeal.
Holy burgles, Batman -- lots of robberies in the blotter!
As part of a larger probe, two city employees were suspended for stealing copper from the Mitchell Courthouse as well as City Hall then selling it for profit. You're supposed to go before the Board of Estimates first before stealing from the City , you didn't get the memo?

New media? The Sun Guild and the Daily Record have been a-posting YouTube videos.
The CP has more on the White Bros's 4th of July shootout at the union hall
A suspiciously dead body was discovered in NE Baltimore.
(Thx Glt)
Police ID'd the men killed in their car on Friday as Quinton Hogan, 23, of Parkville, and Donell Rogers, 21, of Baltimore. (WBAL says it was Wabash & Northern Parkway, WMAR says Wabash and Rogers Ave.)

Two killed in a drive-by shooting on Northern Parkway!
Police are looking for a white Pontiac.
An armed purse-snatching right next to Roland Park Elementary!
Both the Sun and the Daily Record cover yesterday's courthouse rally with Anna Sowers and her supporters.
Cham may be tired of this story, but I think it's pretty interesting.
Meister blogs that he has an "inside source" in the SA's office who says that Burns will "probably go quietly sometime before the election."
The man with the bomb at UM- Baltimore was ID'd as one Dallas J. Smith.
An AAC woman who left her newborn in the trash is out of the pokey after serving 8 months.
At a hearing today before his trial was scheduled to begin, George Scruggs, Jr., 34, of the 3100 block of Artaban Place pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence. Judge Gale E. Rasin sentenced Scruggs to 30 years, with all but 15 suspended, and five years' probation. The facts he pled to:

The argument further escalated with the eventual fatal shooting of Thomas. Scruggs confessed to police but stated he believed the victim was armed with a handgun.

Thursday (and nothing is sacred)
An 82 - allow me to repeat this - Eighty-Two year old woman recalls the mugging and vicious assault she allegedly suffered. Apparently one of the men did it after asking for change for a $5. Lesson learned: Don't give anyone in this city anything.
If that doesn't boil your blood enough, the city blotter features people robbed, cars broken into, and homes burgled, while the county blotter has explosive devices and hate crimes. Business as usual in the Baltimore Metropolitan region, I see.
Though she was to receive mental treatment in return for pleading guilty, Vernice Harris continues to rot in prison.
My apologies for forgetting Anna Ditkoff's Murder Ink, an invaluable and informative resource here in Harm City...
WMAR TV examines the controversial and -- above all -- local issue of racist license plates. With news mediums like this, who needspropaganda factories? filler?
In a complete and absolute display of her innocence, Mayor Sheila Dixon has retained well known and respected defense attorney Arnold Weiner to represent her in the ongoing perjury/misconduct probe of her office. Weiner, of course, represented former Governor Mandel during his little tryst with the law.

Lame.
State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy released a statement regarding the Sowers case, click here to read it. A statement that you're not going to make a statement? What's the point of that?

Quality Readin'!
Don't miss the article in this week's NYker about medical MJ in CA, aka "Dr. Kush."
Wednesday Morning
If there is a Hell, these guys are certainly going there: Seriously, who robs a guy of church money?
Assaults, robberies, arson and cuttings in the Blotter. Just another day in the greatest jurisdictions in America...
Since it'll be a crime issue soon enough: Senator Ulysses Currie allegedly used his power for the benefit of Shoppers, a company he worked for on the side.
More to come...

Tuesday Morning
After the fatal shooting, the Linden Bar and Liquors is back to business as usual.
A woman who served as assistant manager of the Family Dollar in Mount Claire was found slain there in what authorities believe was the end result of a failed robbery.
A burning body was found in a burning car on Park Heights Avenue last night.
Plenty of gunshot victims, robberies, attempts to burgle, and destruction of property in the Blotter.
Mia Redrick continues the debate on child curfews in Baltimore.
Commissioner Bealefield gets to stay commissioner, as the City Council approved his contract and gets $142,000 per year, with benefits.
Helpful hint: If officers want to take you, don't bite them, because then you'll be charged with resisting arrest and assault.
But J-Kwiz told me that weed was supposed to make you hungry, not kill you...

WTF? K-Swift Drowned!
At the young age of 27, 92Q DJ K-Swift has drowned in her own pool, while throwing a party!
Apparently no one noticed the hostess was missing, and then when they found her no one performed CPR on her.
WTF?
... The Sun has more

The reporter who broke the Zach Sowers "sleeping baby" story covers the farmer's market protest.
BCPD arrested Edward Leon Medley for a 1980 rape.
Four years later, the courts have finally settled the case of Janet Jackson's tittyflash.

Monday Morning
A man was shot and killed at a liquor store off of safe and reliable North Avenue on Saturday night. More interestingly, this store was the target of shut-down efforts by the local Reservoir Hill Community. Hmm. Methinks this will call for a committee.
A stabbing during an attempted robbery at the Mt. Clare Dollar Store.
This was not a good weekend to be out after 7pm (sorry, Artscape fans), as someone else was found fatally shot in SoWeBo.
As evidence that some press can be bad press, dozens of people gathered to discuss the firing of Margaret Burns, spokesperson for the City State's Attorney's office. Burns, shockingly, could not be reached for comment. Notice a pattern, anyone? Adam Meister posted more information on this little conundrum here.
An inmate died at central booking on Friday evening, and the Powers that Be are investigating.
It's going to be hot today, cats and kittens, so be sure to bring your bottled water!
