From the article:

"McGrath, who now lives in Florida, was due in U.S. District Court in Baltimore at 9 a.m. The appointed time came and went with no sign of him. As of 10 a.m., he had not appeared.

“We all just hope he is safe and there’s some mix-up,” said Judge Deborah L. Boardman. She paused before continuing: “And I suppose we just wait.”

Prosecutors and McGrath’s defense attorney, Joseph Murtha, were present and ready to proceed. Murtha told the judge he sent repeated text messages to McGrath and McGrath’s wife and had received no response."

Lmao “safe and some kind of mixup”, so republican judge who has no intention of doing their job.

How often do you think they say that when it’s some black kid framed by the cops?

This comment is dumb af. Judge Boardman is a former public defender who made her career defending “black kids framed by the cops.” Also she was just expressing a hope that the defendant hadn’t killed himself which is an appropriate thing for a judge to say

An arrest warrant was issued …

I’m not sure what else you expected to happen right now. That’s literally the only thing to do.

Like honestly tell me you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about without telling me you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about

Deborah Boardman was appointed by Biden in 2021, and 48 Republican senators voted against her appointment.

Trick question. He wouldn't have been out on bail in the first place.

The judge issued a warrant for his arrest. Do you want her patrolling the streets for him?
