Maryland Man Sentenced to 10 Years For Stabbing Woman in Butt With Semen Filled Syringe

You read that right.

Thomas Stemen, 52, of Churchton was sentenced to 10 years of active incarceration and five years of supervised probation in the stabbing of a woman with a semen-filled syringe outside of a local grocery store.

The defendant entered an Alford plea to one count of felony first degree assault and one count of second degree assault on June 16, 2020. He must also undergo a substance abuse and a mental health evaluation and receive treatment upon his release from prison.

“The defendant’s actions were truly horrific,” said State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess. “He intentionally went out into our community with the goal of assaulting unsuspecting women. With this sentence, he will removed from our community for a long time. I am thankful for the citizens who identified him from video released by law enforcement and that the survivors are able to move forward after this senseless assault.”

9/11: 20 Years Later

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since 9/11. For me, this day was especially painful because my fiancé had just been murdered two days prior (on my birthday).

I remember hearing the news of the World Trade Center attacks and rushing to the tv to see the actual towers crumble right before my eyes. The feeling of grief & terror is still memorable all these years later.

Thousands of innocent everyday people died and the world ultimately changed overnight. Tensions rose to an all time high and shortly after the US waged war on the Middle East sending the US economy into economic decline and recession.

There are tons of conspiracy theories surrounding this infamous day. Where were you on September 11, 2001? Do you think the “war on terror” has been won? Why or why not?

Brandy Cavalli Pays Homage to Ex Fiancé on 20 Year Death Anniversary

Birthdays are usually a time for celebration for most people, except me. Birthdays have went from bitter to bittersweet to manageable for the last 20 years. Omari was a gentle, kind, loving and very giving soul. We were kids but we ran Atlanta like the OGs… Until September 9, 2001. A day I’ll never forget.

I got the call the Omari had been shot in the head, killed. My world crashed and I haven’t been the same since. What’s the odds of this happening on MY BIRTHDAY?! How cruel could life be?

This year I will celebrate instead of being sad. I know God separated us that night & kept me for a reason, a purpose. I will embrace what life I have left but Omari I’ll never forget you. You live in my heart forever and I’m so thankful I got to experience you.

RIP KING. Until I see you again. I will love you forever.🕊
