Elijah Cummings' Nephew Fatally Shot in Random Robbery
... not here in Baltimore, but at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. Tragic.
in other news, no murders since two on Thursday night, it looks like. Whoops, I take that back, a 23-year-old man fatally shot in West Baltimore at 1:54 p.m. on Sunday.
"Dollar" got 25 years for illegal possession of a firearm and admitted to the 2009 murder of Kinlaw Jones
Eighteen months in the can for Tracy Queen, who was busted bilking the city for bogus tutoring by Brew contributor Joan Jacobson. Jacobson says she's still "waiting to find out what the city school system has done to prevent this theft from happening again.”
Thirty-seven months for Alicia Simmons, a former corrections employee accused of smuggling heroin and other goodies to imprisoned BGF members
Former ministry director at Loyola University accused of sex abuse of two minors in HoCo
Baltimore cop to attend Harvard Law
"A former Montgomery County police officer who pleaded guilty to illegally using computers to help her drug-dealing fiancé is set to be sentenced"
.. and here's something to burn yr britches: "The Federal Bureau of Investigation is giving significant new powers to its roughly 14,000 agents, allowing them more leeway to search databases, go through household trash or use surveillance teams to scrutinize the lives of people who have attracted their attention." Right on the heels of the conclusion of the Thomas Drake case, in which we learned that the government has been spending billions to stockpile citizens' every text and email. (How incredible to go in one generation from being worried about the Reds taking over to seeing our own government adopt the Stasi style, right down to the Division of Garbage Analysis (and without even the paper trail of accountability)

Lawyers gone bad
Attorney Stanley Needleman has been charged with stealing a law textbook from a judicial clerk.
The trial of Gahiji Tshamba starts today. Two other police officers are prepared to testify that Tshamba appeared drunk when he put a dozen bullets into Tyrone Brown.
A shooting on E. Eager Street and a burnt body in Northeast Baltimore.
83 murders so far this year, and it looks like Lois Smyth has the dubious honor of being the second white Baltimore murder victim of 2011.
Police arrest two brothers in Pikesville double homicide.
First-degree murder conviction for the 2009 death of Kenneth Johnson at a family cookout. This looks like a rare case where city prosecutors are seeking life w/o parole.
Another burned kitten. Stories like that are really too depressing to comment on.
Looks like it is legal to take pictures of the Light Rail after all.
Yet another depressing story. Darian Kess was a promising wrestler in high school but then screwed up and started breaking the law. He cleaned up his act, got cancer and beat it, and then was stabbed to death in a home invasion.
