    The parents of a young tech CEO murdered in Baltimore last year urged Maryland lawmakers Tuesday to end good behavior credits for imprisoned rapists, which is how the man accused of killing their daughter ended up out on the streets. EcoMap Technologies CEO Pava Marie LaPere, 26, died in September 2023 from strangulation and blunt force trauma allegedly at the hands of 32-year-old convicted felon Jason Billingsley. He is charged with first-degree murder in her death and had only been out of prison for about a year after serving a shortened sentence for a 2013 rape because of his good...

    Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has been convicted of one count of mortgage fraud, after testifying that she unintentionally made false statements on loan applications to buy two Florida vacation homes. The Associated Press reported that the split verdict was announced Tuesday evening after jury members deliberated for most of the day, finding Mosby not guilty on a second mortgage fraud charge. In November, Mosby was convicted of two counts of perjury by a federal jury after she falsely claimed financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to withdraw money from the city’s retirement fund. She has...

    Cars stolen from the District, Maryland, Virginia, and beyond are winding up in shipping containers, headed overseas, and it’s a problem that customs officials say is getting worse. Port of Baltimore Director Adam Rottman told FOX 5 that last fiscal year they intercepted 149 stolen cars, but in the last three months, that number is already at 70, on pace to just about double last fiscal year’s total. "Transnational criminal organizations will make money any way they can, whether it’s drugs, terrorism, human smuggling, selling fake Care Bears, anything they can do to make a dollar," Rottman told FOX 5,...

    The Maryland Bar Counsel has filed a petition to suspend former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's law license, following alleged misuse of her finances during the COVID-19 pandemic. A new petition, filed Tuesday, asked the Maryland Supreme Court to immediately suspend Mosby because she was found guilty of a "serious crime" as defined under state ethics rules for lawyers. The petition requests Mosby to "be suspended immediately from the practice of law pending the imposition of sentence and entry of a judgment of conviction." Mosby, who gained a national profile for prosecuting Baltimore police officers after Freddie Gray, a...

    Man, this is rough … I totally feel for this kid. Baltimore Ravens fans were feeling good during “Sunday Night Football.” Not only were they headed towards a 23-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they also got one hell of an upgrade on offense … until they lost it on the same night, and in horrific fashion. Ravens rookie running back Keaton Mitchell was an outright rising star during his brilliant showing against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but his pretty stat line got thrown out the window after he suffered a wicked knee injury at the beginning of the fourth...

    The deterioration of our major cities has been a matter of concern for some time now. While we write a lot at RedState about the left-coast cities of Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as examples, and those are pretty compelling examples, now we turn our attention to the East. If you own or have an interest in a historic building in downtown Baltimore... Urine trouble.Many of downtown Baltimore’s buildings are slowly being washed away. The problem is less flooding and rain, more golden showers.That’s right, pee is eroding thousands of historic buildings downtown, the exterior bases corroding with every...

    A Project Baltimore investigation exposes serious allegations that some Baltimore City schools continue to falsify student report cards. Tamika Harrison is a Baltimore City mother who spoke with Project Baltimore back in 2017, saying her son was being cheated out of an education. “The African Americans are filling up with prisons; they are filling up the graves,” Harrison said at the time. “I don’t want this for my son.” Back in 2017, Harrison was upset with the grades her son had received on his report card, including two As, two Bs, and a C. It seemed like a good marking...

    One of the solid hits that Ron DeSantis landed on Gavin Newsom during their Thursday night debate was his waving a map graphically illustrating that San Francisco is covered with human fecal matter (aka poop), something that magically vanished only when a Chinese dictator came to town. San Francisco may be the worst city for human poop, but it’s not the only problem facing urban America. In Baltimore, the fact that the city has become a giant urinal is destroying the city’s historic buildings. Until the modern era, cities were vast dung heaps, crawling with human and animal fecal matter....

    BALTIMORE — Once a beacon for activity in downtown Baltimore, the Harborplace pavilions will now be torn down by the new owners who are on a mission to revive the area. It's a place that was once booming with tourists. Now, when you take a walk through the Harborplace pavilions, doors are locked and many stores sit vacant. As the entire harbor is getting redeveloped, one project will be tearing down the two pavilions by the new owners, MCB Real Estate. Marketing Managing Director Jarnell Swecker said this is a result of what the community repeatedly shared. "They need something...

    For generations, American politicians and experts have lamented the dropout crisis. They warn that quitting school leads students to poverty, prison, and discontent. For many Baltimore schoolchildren, however, recent test results show leaving school might be their best option—or at least, it wouldn’t hurt. Last year, Baltimore’s public schools spent $22,000 per student, a record figure slated to rise over the next decade under the state’s $30 billion education-spending plan, the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future. City schools have also raked in $799 million in Covid relief. The latest test results suggest that students and taxpayers shouldn’t waste their time and...
