Last month, we looked at the story of 48-year-old Timothy Reynolds of Baltimore. He was murdered during a violent confrontation with some of the city’s infamous “squeegee kids” who attempted to extort money from him at an intersection in the downtown portion of the city. An unnamed 15-year-old was charged with the killing after a brief investigation. The case immediately took some strange turns, with the State Prosecutor’s office seemingly trying to sweep the matter away by offering the alleged shooter a plea deal. (The boy’s attorneys rejected the offer.) After that, the next sticking point was the question of whether or not the boy’s case would be transferred to juvenile court, where he would likely not be hit with any prison time. I expressed my doubts that he would be tried as an adult, but Charm City has succeeded in surprising me. A judge in Baltimore ruled on Thursday that the case will remain in the adult court system and the boy is being charged with first-degree murder. (WBAL TV)Read More
