Subscribe to Baltimore Witness to receive up-to-date information on the criminal justice proceedings of homicide and non-fatal shootings cases.
Unlike so many organizations involved in criminal justice we do not have an agenda - other than to bring transparency and, with it, accountabilty to Baltimore's criminal justice system. We have also introduced technology like our Victim Notification System which keeps people informed in real time , for the first time, on how cases, they want to follow, are develioping. As residents, we need to demand a different perspective to control our city's violence and make Baltimore a better place for everyone. Help us to continue to gather information for that new perspective. Please consider contributing to our on-going efforts with a tax deductible donation.
