@Account Closed Ugh, the Baltimore District Court: I had a judge, honorable Devy P. Russell...She shows up an hour late, doesn't even read the docket or evidence of the case, and dismisses it after a few minutes of all oral testimony - evidence, schmevidence, right?
I felt leaving the district court feeling like I had dressed like a bum and didnt have a lawyer, I would have gotten better treatment. However, my silly mistake was that I was dressed nice, had on a nice dress and pearls, and a lawyer, so nothing about the unconstitionality (or adherence to precedent) meant anything. You are correct: We are appealing as far as we can. The district court system is a joke, and the only hope IS to get to a higher court where that ridiculousness, (and lack of preparedness, and apparently, classism) isnt allowed, and the actual law, facts, and evidence actually gets read. I'll explain more on my blog post in a week or two about this in detail of what happened.
Seth Sherman is right...I as so shocked at the blatant disregard for common legal courtesies (like, spending more than a few minutes on a very important case and reading the Freaking EVIDENCE) didn't happen. Ah well, onto appealing at the circuit court, then if need be, as high as we need to go. Now i just want the corruption, as well as lack of adherence to basic legal findings, is exposed. And hopefully, embarrasses them all. At this point, im paying to get this ridiculousness out into the open.
However, I will now say with absolute conviction, that if Baltimore chases people who are honest (and apparently good dressers) away, who dont have sob stories, and keeps those that do, they are literally curating a society of people who dont have their act together, and driving away people that do. Baltimore - your future is of your own self making.
You can probably tell outside of appealing my lawsuit (which I can't go into detail here about), I am so done with bmore - you can make great returns elsewhere.
