Come work at an amazing, unionized office with a dedicated, client-centered staff. And the bonus of working in Maryland is that you can work in the mountains, at the beach, or in an urban area. Apply!!!

@bmorecourtwatch …and interrupting has been her specialty for 20+ years…..

[Marci @marcitjohnson]

@bmorecourtwatch Sorry I didn’t catch this before. It was Judge M. Brooke Murdock, a retired Baltimore City Circuit Court judge. And she knows what PWID means, she just doesn’t “allow” people to use abbreviations 🙄

[Baltimore Courtwatch @bmorecourtwatch]

Let's take a look back at March 2022 in Baltimore City Circuit Court.

In almost 90% of the observed hearings, the Baltimore City SAO asked that a person stay in jail until trial.
