I don't know what the criteria is for "charged as an adult" - but clearly there is a moral application of detterence - I can't think of a case right now that could use such an application of law. Calculate, cold, and clearly knowledgable about her actions. Gang related or not she clearly perceives herself to be "big woman" out robbing folk at gun point. And **murdered** someone (career criminals typically have more compassion - this is so "amateur" and without care it should have the book thrown at it.

I wonder if Pat Jessamy is going to plea this case out like she did in the Zach Sowers stomping because of her lack of confidence in the juror pool.

Which reminds me, Gregg Bernstein made a valid point at last night's debate in response to a person's question about why Baltimore City juries are reluctant to convict. Bernstein said that he doesn't blame the juries for the high number of acquittals but Jessamy's prosecutors for presenting weak cases. He went on to say that one judge once told him after a case, which resulted in an acquittal, that if he were on that jury he would have voted "not guilty" because the prosecutor did not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

My kid Brother operates a mom/pop type convenience store in the same neighbor where this little rodent hangs out ~She will steal the fillings out of your teeth if you don't keep and cautious eye on her ~
She should be put away for at least 40 years ---That whole bunch is on welfare anyway so she might as well be put away so she cant do any more damage to the working class ~

This may have been a racial hate crime although the news will never say so. One minority group in particular (that cannot be named if you don't want to be banned) seems to hate other minorities ( and themselves) as much as they hate the majority ethnic group. Of course, minority hate crimes are nothing new, they just aren't publicized because they shatter liberal identity politics. A long time ago I lived in Baltimore, and as a child was mugged twice by members of a minority-group-that-cannot-be-criticized, and both times they made anti-white racial slurs. You'll never see that on NPR or CNN though.
