Got my charging documents today. They added sexual offense in the 4th degree & a bunch of "common law" things. Twenty-two counts!

Arraignment is 0915, 25 February, Circuit Court of Maryland for Baltimore County, 401 Bosley Avenue in Towson. Be there or be square!

I guess my Chinese New Year's party really IS going to be a last bash, eh?

Don'tcha just love it. Commit one freaking crime, (in my case it was driving with an expired license years ago) and they slap you with bunches other bullshit charges...

Aggravated Unlicensed Operation 2nd
Expired License 2nd
Driving Past Curfew (!! I was 27 at the time so WTF?!)
Speeding (31 in a 30 zone)
Inadauqate Saftey Devices (headlights weren't "aimed" right)


Never thought I would say it... but thank God (satan?) for lawyers. Got off with a $1000 fine instead of 3 months in jail.

Not even similar to what you're facing... All I can say is good luck.

Times like this I wonder if anarchy really is a viable solution.

Lots of luck to ya.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

Funny how they add those really stupid things when you get busted. Had a party in my dorm room and it got busted. Not only did I get a Furnishing Alcohol to Minors but I also got an M.I.P Pretty hard to get one of those when I was over 21.

The reason they "stack" charges is so that the overworked State's Attorneys won't drop the charges.

"Hmm, this child molesting priest has three counts against him ... but THIS child molesting priest has twenty-four. Gee, I wonder which one I'm going to not drop charges on?"

When I did my ride-along, the Silverado driver was charged with (if my memory serves me), Driving while Intoxicated, Reckless Driving, Fleeing the Scene, Hit & Run, First Degree Assault, & a bunch of other stuff.

I'm no expert, but I think one of the other reasons they do "stack" charges like that is so they think they can cover all the bases, make it more likely to convict you of something. Even if not all the charges fit perfectly.

Great system, huh? [Roll Eyes]

This is why I never do anything illegal... when there's even the slightest possibility I'll get caught.

What? That's it? That's all you have to say on the subject? No "Well, that's how our system works, and it's the greatest system in the world, so if you don't like it, go live in Russia, pinko!" or equivalent? I feel cheated. Are you feeling unwell?

Short version: he was banging a high-schooler and her parents found out.

His CIA sources probably heard I had a tin of rice pudding, and thought I said 'canister of Ricin.' 8)
