Maryland lawmakers in battle over legislative scholarship program
Common Cause Maryland and Carroll County residents accuse the legislature of over allocating scholarships. Senator Timothy Ferguson's district includes Frederick and Carroll counties, with Frederick residents receiving about two thirds of funds and Carroll about one third. The program grants each senator 138000 annually to distribute among district students, but interpretation allows broad discretion and may conflict with proportional rules.

HIV positive man convicted for enhanced first degree assault
A Frederick County jury convicted Lloyd Fuacne Biggus, an HIV positive man, of first degree assault for causing physical harm during a sexual assault on a 9 year old. The verdict makes him the first defendant in the county to receive an enhanced penalty under HIV related statute. The panel of 11 jurors deliberated under three hours before finding him guilty of causing serious injuries with the substantial risk of death. State's attorney Scott Rolle said Maryland appellate courts needed the charge to address HIV exposure. Defense attorney Anthony Mann argued against the enhanced penalty, noting issues around criminal intent and death expectations.
