I had a drug trial in the District Court this morning. When I tried to point out the flaws to the prosecutor, I was met with an abrupt, "if you think I am going to drop this case, the answer is no." I asked about the cocaine charge since there was no cocaine...
I tried a DUI in Howard County this morning. There was a video…..sort of. Because of trooper's vehicles being hit by inattentive or impaired drivers, they are no longer allowed to do the SFSTs in front of their police car where their in-car video captures the...

15 minute not guilty verdict of felony and gun and PBJ for possession of marihuana, after a day and half in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. Juror number 5 walks out after the verdict and gives my client a thumbs up!. First alternate gives my client her...
