Reply to comment by longhorn718 in Maryland’s second-highest court orders new hearing for Adnan Syed, reinstates conviction by Cody_in_Baltimore
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

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.

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.

I mean, he didn't shoot you. Is there a world where he might have if you had behaved differently, like tried to pull a gun of your own? It's possible, but it's also not really worth speculating about a counterfactual. Glad you're safe man.

Reply to comment by Syphon6645 in [WBAL] Baltimore Mayor Scott unveils state legislative priorities for 2023 by z3mcs
...You think that politicians should just decree that the public defenders "be better" at being lawyers without spending money?
I can't think of what "policy changes and corrective actions toward those who do wrongdoing" means other than 'lock people up for longer' which (1) isn't free and (2) doesn't work.
I agree there are zoning changes that could be made that would reduce displacement, although I disagree tha alone would be sufficient to ameliorate the issue

What issues do you believe are free to solve?
Also, there's a massive difference between saying "these issues cannot be solved overnight" and "well I guess we shouldn't do anything ever."
Mayor Scott's focus on environmental issues is a good example of something that is fairly unlikely to result in short term returns, but will result in better health, employment, and economic trends over a longer timescale. The hard truth is that generations issues usually require generational inverventions (which of course does not mean we shouldn't address immediate issues simultaneously).

...How is getting more funds to be used for public safety (putting aside the efficacy of BPD at stopping crime for a second) not "taking action"?
The violence in Baltimore is a result of decades and decades of systemic disenfranchisment, exploitation, underinvestment, and lack of concern for poor people and Black people. It's baked into our economic system, our infrastructure, our law enforcement and justice systems, and yes, our political system. I'm not saying things couldn't be going faster, but expecting any mayor to in a single term "fix" issues which fundementally stem from generational poverty and systemic racism is pollyanish at best, and results in policy that actively makes those issues worse down the line (see broken widows policing).

He was 15. He wasn't a man.
Duty to retreat/stand your ground as legal principles are affirmative defenses to homicide, have no inharent connection to guns, and thus the legality of the firearm used is irrelevant.
I suspect you already know these things.

The Wine Source should be seized by the city through eminent domain and turned into a bike lane.
The owners should be publicly flogged and turned into a bike lane.
