On the Record

By: Caryn Tamber

Welcome back from the long weekend! Just four days to go until the next one! Until then, here are some law links:

• John Bratt calls the 4th Circuit’s decision in the Sparrows Point LNG case a win for Baltimore County.
• There aren’t a huge number of lawyers in the General Assembly.
• “The criminal justice system wasn’t a good system with a few cracks,” Page Croyder writes. “It’s been a giant mud hole in which the wheels of justice spin without going anywhere.”
• Facebook is not actually encouraging people to cheat on their husbands and wives, but it is making it easier for them to be caught at it. Via Maryland Divorce Legal Crier.
• This is kind of a weird lede on this ABA Journal story about wrongful convictions, implying that the guy did something wrong: “Barney Brown should have listened to his mother that fateful day in 1970 when she told him to stay home while she was at work.”
