Not a lawyer, but a victim or their representative(s) have the right in MD to attend any hearing where the defendant is present. Mosby says her office didn’t violate their rights because Lee’s family could have dialed in on Zoom, Lee family lawyers says the family isn’t technically inclined and the parents need translation assistance, and they were not given proper notice or support to arrange anything, and the judge agreed that this was a violation of their rights.

And we all know and saw what actually happened. Mosby was losing, this hearing came up right before the election and used it to grandstand on the courthouse steps as some kind of personal accomplishment. She never gave a hoot about victims’ families, other than for grandstanding around an election.

Maybe it was mistaken identity. I can’t imagine him having an enemy in the world. But guess we’ll never know, because somehow no description of the car, or camera footage from anywhere. Not even the gas station, really? No traffic cameras in any of the surrounding blocks? Nothing at all? This father disappears from the face of the earth and they’ve got nothing?

The suburban apartment complexes are like the worst of all worlds, trapped with people and their noise through the walls while lacking any kind of street life, community feeling or conveniences at the same time. Hampden, Waverley, Mt Washington, Catonsville and Hamilton are younger, more sociable and neighborhoody. But like I said if you want a good place you have to have feet on the ground, do your homework and be able to jump on it. Committing sight-unseen is not smart, what works for an older relative may not work for you.

Get a shorter-term rental, then decide? I don’t think you should commit to anything anywhere sight-unseen for longer than a month. And the good places get snapped up fast, you want the leisure to be choosy. I would personally hate to be stuck in a Cockeysville apartment at any age.
