I’m not an attorney, I was a crime victim and my daughter was a victim, I work with victims of violent assault who need physical therapy and have knowledge of their cases.

Our attorney told us in Maryland crime victims have the right to be informed of any action or proceeding that affects the interest of the victim, or victim’s family, guardian, heirs. That includes bail hearings, when the prosecutors stet the charges, dismissing cases.

Ms. Mosby’s prosecutors are known to do this to victims, not notify them before they dismiss cases or stet charges, not notify of bail hearings.

This is a link to a know your rights list for victims. Ms. Mosby’s prosecutors violated most of these in cases I experienced.

Anecdotally I was at hearing with a patient four years ago, the prosecutor announced she was dismissing the case, the judge asked the victim if she was informed about the dismissal before the hearing. The victim wasn’t information so the judge the scolded the prosecutor and did not let her dismiss the case.

Paid in cash so no taxes like a real American

Call them back a week before your next date and say, "Sorry, kid's still nursing." If they say, "Tough, come anyway," say, "Sure, I'll bring the kid and just whip it out during voir die."

Interesting, I called a few weeks ago and they only gave me a deferment that was up to 6 months after birth (sounds similar to what OP got). They literally scheduled my jury duty for the first business day after my baby turns six months 😐.

Would love to know what the pumping setup is like in the court house.

I'm not "mad" at all, I just don't agree with the Court here. Sure, Mosby Bad, I agree, I guess that just doesn't change my reading of Maryland victims' rights law.

My wife had to pump in the court house.

Except he was present via Zoom, and was heard, which apparently is not even required, but he was granted anyway. According to the article.

I promise you, you wont do more damage to it. I'm going to assume that thing is dry rotted to some form. First step, get some Vaseline and massage the glove to try and get some moisture back in to it and soften it up. Use about a quarter sized amount for the whole glove and work it inside out. If you want, you can send me pic via DM of the glove.

Edit- Also, I think you're going to appreciate the sentimental value of doing this yourself especially with how much you seem to care about it.

They dont.

Yea that's how it works if you have more money you can afford more.

I second Hot Pot King at the Hub and Kpot, both in Catonsville. I haven’t found a hot pot place within city limits that I like.

Ellicot city, a town within 20 minutes drive has a museum that showcases how men from Ellicot city fought for both the north and south dur8ng the Civil war.

Mosby wanted to do it quickly to take attention away from her own federal indictment. It’s not the best way to do court proceedings. I would be more mad at her than the notion that a victim’s family gets to have a lawyer present when facing a convicted murderer before his release.

It along with DC are quintessential mid-Atlantic transition cities

Save yourself the trouble and catch the light rail downtown. You can park at Falls Road Station and ride it directly to the stadium.

O's v Yanks is a Yankees home game half the time. As a native NYer I know a lot of people like to come down for these games

Let the family “dictate legal strategy”? Mosby called the brother in California and basically said “you know the guy the state has been assuring you for 24 years strangled your sister? I’m going to release him in a few days despite the protests of the Attorney General and original prosecutor. Better take off work & fly home immediately if you want to be heard.”

> right to notice of,

I don't understand. Is there something in Maryland code that requires a victim's family for right to notice of or right to attend? I always thought right to notice was for a defendant.

Court cases are not dictated by the victim's family in capital murder cases, as I understand it. Notifying them of actions by the court is usually a courtesy, albeit something that should be the policy of every prosecutor and Mosby failed miserably at this one, but I expect nothing less of her. Still, it shouldn't be enough to vacate the vacating of a conviction. Once it's vacated, that's it, isn't it? Doesn't double jeopardy apply?

Would love an attorney to weigh in here.

New generation in Towson. Been there multiple times and it’s always great.

This is really suprising to me. No beef with victims' rights as a concept, but I'm suprised the Appellate Court bought the arguement that Maryland law grants victims the right to have their own lawyer present at these hearings, who can ask questions, introduce testimony, and in general act like a second prosecutor. I simply don't see evidence for that as a protected right in the law as written.

Frankly, I see the MD Supreme Court reversing this.

The victim's family is convinced, despite how poor the evidence was, that Syed was the killer and nothing will change that, even if someone else is prosecuted and convicted. There's no scenario where they will be satisfied unless Syed is in jail.

And I feel for them. I do. I have a daughter and I'd be in emotional agony over this if it was mine.

But that's also why, legally speaking, prosecutors and the courts aren't supposed to let them dictate legal strategy or the direction of a case.

Why wouldn’t bother to learn anything before rattling off my opinion?

I think the value of having it restored is more sentimental rather than functional, for both he and I. This thing is from the 50s and is in really rough condition. I’m worried that I would do more damage than good if I tried to restore it myself.

Thanks! I hate gardening so I've been planting native perennials but need something to center my yard around.

Sorry for being pedantic, but what are your goals for the glove? Having a professional leatherworker restore it would be kind of silly to me.

The only hard part, really, is the re-lacing of the glove, which wouldn't go to a leather worker anyways.
