Deon Carter, the West Baltimore man who tried to evade arrest for first-degree murder by dressing as a woman and later stabbed a sheriff's deputy with the deputy's key after being convicted, was sentenced yesterday to life in prison with a chance for parole.

Prosecutor Frank G. Rangoussis had argued that Carter, 20, of the 1500 block of Mountmor Court, was too dangerous and anti-social to ever be freed. The defense said he was lead-poisoned and was neglected by his drug-addicted mother, and public defender Jill Trivas urged that he be given a "glimmer of hope."

Maybe we should make more of an effort to understand his motivations.

We'll take care of him and his motivations when we give him and his homeboy Lajuan the lethal injection here (Virginia).

Which makes it extremely likely that he is too dangerous ever to be free, since brain damage and a bad childhood are not reversible. It's frightening when such a thing can be a defense strategy.
