a lot of it is not reported. In cities like Baltimore reporting a crime will get you killed Baltimore has struggled with the intimidation of witnesses for several years. About a dozen witnesses in city murder cases have been murdered since January 2005 and dozens have been murdered since 2000, Burns said. In response to the problem, the legislature passed a witness intimidation law in 2005 allowing a hearsay exception in cases where a witness has been killed and adding a conspiracy charge in cases where a defendant directs the intimidation or murder of a witness from prison. If the county police investigation reveals Lackl was murdered because he was a witness in next week's trial, Lackl's prior testimony could be used under the 2005 witness protection law, Burns said. wbaltv.com
