• DNA leads to convictions in 2 rapes in Baltimore County from the 1980s (thebanner.com) — Two long-unsolved rape cases from the 1980s in Cockeysville have finally resulted in convictions after DNA evidence linked a Parkville man to attacks in two first-floor apartments just a half mile apart. A Baltimore County jury found 73-year-old James Shipe Sr. guilty of rape, sex offenses, and burglary, bringing long-delayed justice to the survivors after decades of uncertainty.
   

• Law firms spend big on MD elections — here's who gave the most (thedailyrecord.com) — A Cockeysville-based firm, the Kenny Law Group, is among Maryland law practices giving above the usual $6,000 benchmark to state candidates, contributing $8,000 to Sen. Guy Guzzone this cycle.
