Reply to West Baltimore gang takedown: 33 indicted on drug, gun and attempted murder charges, police say by Dr_Midnight

This is good. I'm not totally celebrating till we actually get convictions, but this is progress. Gotta crack down on the gangs. It's really the prosecutors that need to step up, you can arrest all the people you want but unless they're convicted they're still on the streets doing crime. But at least they're doing it right and going after the gangs, which is progress

Reply to comment by CrabEnthusist in Maryland’s second-highest court orders new hearing for Adnan Syed, reinstates conviction by Cody_in_Baltimore

Uh to be clear this is not what the ruling said at all? They very explicitly said the victim does not have the right to be heard nor does their attorney have the right to ask any questions. They reversed because (1) there was insufficient notice and (2) because they said the statute gives victims the right to be there in person. (They also seemed to be unhappy about the evidence not being put on the record but that wasn't really in the scope of the appeal so they just hinted at it.)

I learned by listening to podcasts and watching a few YouTube channels.

Check out Tabletop Champions or The Adventures Zone as a starting place for podcasts. Critical Role is the gold standard, but can set unrealistic expectations for those new to the hobby because everyone there is a trained voice actor.

For YouTube channels, check out The Dungeon Dudes, Taking 20, Zee Bashew's Animated Spellbook series, or XP to Level 3.
