My family has been in Maryland since the early 1600’s. The civil war divided my family where most of the men were southern sympathizers and fled to the army of N. Virginia, some doing her in the rare MD battalions, others in my family mostly the women and their youngest children fled north to Jersey or New York because they were northern sympathizers. And the weirdest thing of all, not a single person in my family owned land or slaves, they were just drug into the “states rights” argument and those who saw themselves as southern fought for the south, those who saw themselves as northern, went north. I cannot forgive my grandfather for hocking my greatx3 grandfathers union uniform, rifle, gear and all that. I would have cherished that.

As someone who drives to the wine source frequently on Friday and Saturday evenings… it’s not that bad? Like just wait 2 minutes and someone will pull out. If you build more parking, then it will just turn into the Total Wines lot in Towson. Cars are always going to fill the space allotted to them, this will not solve the problem of parking in the area, which isn’t even a problem. It SHOULD be hard to freely park your giant private vehicle in the middle of a busy neighborhood.

Thanks for responding.
I guess what I'm hung up on is that the "hearing didn't count" ruling seems like an extreme reaction. Wouldn't a proper legal response be for the Lee family to sue the State's Attorney's office for improper method of notice rather than nixing the entire process that freed Syed?

I can answer. There is a set of statutes and a provision in the state declaration of rights setting forth certain rights for victims. Among those is a right to be notified of and attend certain proceedings. In others, there is a right to be heard too.
Here, the court found that notice on the day before the hearing was insufficient and, though I haven’t read carefully, it seems it found the right to appear means the right to appear in person.
The double jeopardy bit is more complicated, but the gist is because of the error in notification the hearing didn’t count and a dismissal isn’t a formal termination of jeopardy so they can send it back.
Something similar happened with the guy tried for killing Felicia Barns a few years back.

Yeah, this is appalling and hopefully the SC reverses it. All respect to the Lee family, but I have no idea how one would be able to disentangle their certainty of Syed's guilt vs. cope.
and tbc, I don't mean 'cope' to belittle them, it's just that they were likely assured from everybody on the state's side that Syed killed their daughter, and most people in those circumstances aren't going to spend much time second-guessing it.

Maryland is a very strange state with lots of Southern and Northern ties. If you go down to Southern Maryland or the Eastern Shore, the accents are closer to rural to suburban VA. In Northern MD, they are a mixture of black AAVE DC, Italian, and southern PA, depending of the area. But that’s what makes the Mid-Atlantic so unique.

This is a good decision. Somebody needs to be held responsible for Hae Min Lee’s death. Her family should not have to be revictimized by the legal system with this case.

Because I disagree about what the legal rights actually are. I believe that the law says victims' representitives have a right to attend modifications or vacatur hearings. I also believe that Mr. Lee was able to attend the hearing, albeit over Zoom. I don't believe that the law entitles victims' representatitives to the right to actively participate through counsel as Lee argued. I have no issue with a ruling that says Mr. Lee was entitled to more notice, which would enable him to attend in person, but that's not all he argued. I haven't gotten a chance to read the opinion yet, so it's possible my concerns are unfounded

Except we dealt with over 2 years' worth of zoom hearings and even trials during COVID lockdown so would all of those proceedings be subject to this kind of ruling?

I don’t disagree that Mosby probably fucked this up, and that it was done in a hasty manner.
The problem is, this is now really creating a new victim in Syed, or should I say, adding to his existing apparent victimhood, as it’s now known widely how problematic the original case against him was. He was certainly not given an adequate defense, and the investigators and prosecutors clearly ignored some evidence, and exaggerated other evidence greatly.

You've made it clear that you cannot answer my question. My numbers come from FBI crime data. They're correct.
And I'm not sure why you need me to repeat myself. I said that poverty is a big part of the story here, but that there are other factors at play, which the data makes very obvious.
I'm sorry you're unable to see that.

And Jong Kak has "dry hot pot" as my wife calls it. They make it as a single dish and serve in an unheated bowl. They have spicy monkfish and spicy chicken hotpot on their menu.

I feel like a complete internet n00b, but is there a way to show the feed with more than one flair active?
I tried editing the URL structure, and then following the info below from https://www.reddit.com/r/modhelp/comments/czx9so/filtering_by_flair_a_guide_for_desktop_old_and/ but it would either only output one flair selection or just show search results.
>You can add more filters by writing -flair:Classic+-+Humor+/+Meme, -flair:question etc. This also works on the re-design for desktop, however you'll have to manually sort by "top" and "last 24 hours" every time you add a new flair to the list.
Thanks!

I hope we can get one year! I submitted a note and my child’s birth certificate to get the 6m deferment. When I initially called I asked about getting longer than 6m and the person wasn’t that helpful, but that’s usually the case for court staff.
Just another example of how BF isn’t supported in this country 😫.

Too bad history has absolved "Ayatollah" Glendening and underscored that untouchable folk hero WDS was a crotchety swamp being all along, innit.
