Everyone remembers the birthday party / tattoo party armed robbery that happened in Crisfield back in February. when armed men broke into a Somers Cove apartment and robbed partygoers of the money and valuables. WBOC covered the story. A guest was pistol whipped and a gunshot was fired.
When we first covered this story, back in February, we said that the message had been sent out by Dan Powell, “No matter how serious of a crime you commit, I will find a way to lose it or dismiss it.”
According to the Daily Times, Dan Powell found a way to lose the case of Meko Gianni Palmiro. According the the Daily Times, Dan Powell lost because he couldn’t connect Palmiro, who was found near an abandoned getaway car in which the stolen property was located.
Refusing to accept responsibility for his own failures, Dan Powell is blaming the outcome on Judge Long, but most court observers predicted he would lose the case after his extremely poor showing when the case was called for motions on June 15. (Dan Powell himself knew he was going to lose after his motions hearing and instructed officers to recharge Palmiro with new, minor charges a few days later, anticipating the loss.)
Cases against the co-defendants are scheduled to held in August. Charles Andrew Coulbourne‘s trial is August 1. Joesph Terry Ramcharan Wilson‘s trial is August 21.
Dan made a big mistake blaming Judge Long.
ReplyDeleteThis was on JT's site and of course it was blamed on Judge Long. The funniest was JT the braintrust said it was due to the Judge Long's failure to use "common sense." In his mind judges are supposed to disregard the law and the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteJoe:
ReplyDeleteIsn't JT his mouthpiece?
Mr. Powell:
ReplyDeleteIf you think that Judge Long screwed up, then appeal, don't whine.
Worcester got the prize with Beau Oglesby. He's been wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe should have dusted the car for finger prints, not good police work
ReplyDelete2:41. You dumb a$$. Check the weather on that day! Then try to dust it you stupid fool! Im happy people know how to do police work when they are unemployed or work in shady construction!
ReplyDelete2:41, maybe they did idiot! Dan blew the case, not the cops fault, or Judge Longs. He's incompetent as a states attorney and really needs to resign.
ReplyDeleteno need to worry !!! i am sure this animal wil always be a lifelong judical gem. i am sure there will be many more court apperances for him in the future unless someone does us a favor.
ReplyDeleteJust heard that the Somerset County Sewage District caved todayt in the law case about the benefit fees in Princess Anne. Their lawyer, Robin Cockey, and the District director "Cocky Robin" are a danger for residents of SoCo.
ReplyDeleteBad police work, Judge makes the call.
ReplyDelete" In his mind judges are supposed to disregard the law and the Constitution.

Can you use some better language than that?
Police work? In this area? HA!
Cops around here need a manual if they are tasked with something other than speed enforcement or idiotic roadblocks.
Wor Wic pumps them out but they are no better than security guards with a gun.
Judge Long is one of the toughest judges around. If he throws a case out, it means that the State hasn't done its work.
ReplyDeleteI spoke with one of the officers in court that day. They had given Dan Powell lots of evidence that he didn't bother to introduce. The cops think he blew the case. As soon as the Daily Times reported on the story, he called up his mouthpiece to blast the judge.
ReplyDeleteIt is the same thing he did when Joel Sutton murdered someone. Dan Powell had let Sutton off on armed robbery charges and let the case get transferred to juvenile. He accused Bobby Laird the juvenile master of not committing Sutton, but people in the courtroom know that Dan Powell asked that Sutton not be incarcerated. What did Sutton do soon after? Murder someone in cold blood.
Way to go Dan Powell. I feel safer.
