Longest-running criminal case in city finally ends

The trial was postponed for snow, heat, illness ? and even a hurricane. Simmeon Anderson?s case was delayed so many times ? 27 in all ? that it?s almost become Baltimore City criminal justice folklore.

But on Monday, Anderson?s odyssey through Baltimore?s Circuit Court came to an end when a judge sentenced the 31-year-old man to 50 years in prison on assault andhandgun charges.
