Baltimore, MD - Mar. 28, 2024  - One of two drivers responsible for the death of six construction workers on I-695 last March, will spend the next 18 months behind bars. Melachi Brown previously pled guilty to six counts of felony auto manslaughter, and was facing up to 78 years in prison. However in January, the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office agreed to a plea deal. The way it breaks down is prosecutors asked for 10-years for each offense, totaling 60 years. However, they recommended all but three months be suspended for each count, which is how the 18 months came about. Brown will serve three-years of supervised probation upon release. Up until Thursday, Brown was placed on pre-trial home detention, with orders not to drive. He has no prior criminal record....

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison for fraud tied to the collapse of his digital exchange, capping his meteoric rise and fall. Less than two years ago, Bankman-Fried was the crypto king. The moptop millennial hobnobbed with heads of state, soaked up Caribbean views from his $30 million penthouse and vowed to use his wealth to better humanity. Last year, a jury found the 32-year-old guilty of stealing billions of dollars from FTX customers and defrauding investors and lenders to his crypto investment firm Alameda Research.  Bankman-Fried, standing with his hands clasped, told the judge before sentencing Thursday that he was haunted every day by what he had thrown away. “I was responsible for FTX, and its collapse is...

Dr. Felix Benninger, Beilinson Hospital’s deputy director of its neurology department who specializes in epilepsy, is taking care of soldiers experiencing epileptic seizures and in need for preventive pharmacological treatment. “Since the seizures do not always present themselves immediately, it is possible that we will continue to see more soldiers returning from Gaza with epileptic symptoms for years ahead.

Baltimore, MD - Mar. 28, 2024  - More than 24 hours following the Key Bridge collapse, ship arrivals and departures at the Port of Baltimore remain suspended.
