Death Records Now

A Baltimore man convicted of killing two men was sentenced this week to two terms of life plus 170 years in prison by a judge who questioned why he was allowed to stay in this country after previous convictions.

Bagada Dionas, 23, and his father legally immigrated to the U.S. in the 1990s as refugees from Liberia, Baltimore prosecutor Rita Wisthoff-Ito said in court Monday. But in his teen years, the younger Dionas amassed a juvenile record that included armed robberies, drug dealing and car theft, according to court records. In May 2005, Dionas pleaded guilty to armed robbery as an adult. He served less than three years in prison, including jail time before the conviction.

As Baltimore Circuit Judge John C. Themelis sentenced Dionas in the July 2007 shooting deaths of Maurice White and Wayne White, he asked why Dionas was not "deported then and there" after the 2005 robbery conviction.

Wisthoff-Ito said the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services "dropped the ball" and that, had Dionas been deported, "this murder never would have happened."

Conviction of a crime is grounds for deportation, as judges remind defendants each time they plead guilty in court. But Maryland prison officials have never routinely checked the immigration status of inmates, saying that it would overburden an already taxed staff.

Some state lawmakers assailed that policy last year during a debate over whether to continue issuing Maryland licenses to undocumented drivers. Under a state law passed this year, new drivers must present documentation of their lawful presence in the United States.

A prison spokesman said that the department recently began cracking down on inmates eligible for deportation.

In January, the state agency signed an agreement with federal immigration officials to check the citizenship status of inmates convicted of nonviolent crimes, meaning Dionas would not have been subject to it even if it had been in place at the time of his release in early 2007.

When an eligible inmate has served one-quarter of his sentence, prison officials conduct a file review to determine whether that person might be subject to deportation. Names are forwarded to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which can begin immediate deportation.

Mark Vernarelli, a prisons spokesman, could not say whether anyone has been deported under this new agreement.

Prison officials chose not to include violent criminals, he said, "because we did not want to create the impression that violent criminals would somehow be ‘rewarded’ with parole – even if it meant deportation."

At the sentencing hearing for Dionas, a recording of which was reviewed by The Baltimore Sun, Wisthoff-Ito said she was raising the immigration history to show "how many times this defendant has been given a big break in life."

Dionas been out of prison for just a few weeks when Maurice White, 22, and Wayne White, 24, were gunned down in the parking lot of a Northeast Baltimore apartment complex. Prosecutors said the Whites were brothers.

Prosecutors said Dionas, firing an assault rifle, and a younger man, Charlie Stevenson, firing a semiautomatic handgun, ambushed the White brothers. Wayne White’s girlfriend and 8-month-old son, who were in a car at the scene, were uninjured by the hail of bullets, prosecutors said.

Stevenson, who has not stood trial, is scheduled for a competency hearing next month.

This is because all agencies are not working together as they should be to remove people who are breaking our immigration laws. Too many citizens are becoming victims from illegal aliens with criminal records who have not been deported because of their status in prior arrest. The police and prison officials are not doing their jobs to protect citizens from these criminal illegal aliens. and who pays for their lack of enforcement, an innocent victim.

Tupac Amaru Shakur! World famous rapper!

Tupac Shakur was born on June 16, 1971 in the Bronx, in New York City.
From childhood everyone called him the "Black Prince." Tupac never knew his father, and when he asked his mother about him she would say ‘I don’t know who your daddy is.’ Tupac’s childhood was very tough..When he was two, his sister, Sekyiwa, was born, but Sekyiwa’s father, Mutulu, (pacs step father) was sent to jail for sixty years for armed robbery. With him in prison, life was very hard for pac and his family, they lived in extreme povert yand constantly moved around. He said that his a mojor issue for him while growinh up was not fitting in because he was just from everywere and didn’t have any friends that he grew up with. He was very lonely and used to pass time by writing poetry and love songs. After moving to Baltimore at the age of 15, tupac began to rap, he started writing lyrics and walking like a gangster. Every one though he was cool because he came from New York. He called himself MC New York and made people think that he was a tough guy.

By the time Tupac was 21 he had already become a very successful
rapper. But in 1992 Tupac released his first solo album 2Pacalypse Now,
which put Tupac on the road to
fame. That same year he starred in a gangster film called Juice. In November 1994, Tupac was shot five times during a robbery in which thieves stole $40,000 worth of his jewelery. Tupac recovered from his injuries to make his best music ever, including the 1995 album Me Against the World, which sold two million copies, and the double-CD All Eyez on Me, which sold nearly three million. Just as Tupac was reaching the height of his fame and fortune he was shot and killed in Las Vegas after watching a Mike Tyson fight.
Tupac was shot four times in a drive by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada on 7th September 1996. On September 13, 1996, six days after the shooting, Tupac died of respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in a Las Vegas local hospital. This devastated many people around the world as he was an inspiring rap artist.

Tupac was known by a few other name. 2Pac, Makaveli and Pac. He is knoen in the Guinness Book of World Records as the top selling hip-hop artist having sold over 73million albums worldwide.

He had 6 albums released before he died, and a further 6 after he died. These were songs that were not yet released when he was still alive.

Tupac was absolutely amazing! I mean, when eminem was 25 he was working in a factory and had just 330 songs. Snoop Dogg? He had 313 songs but was sitting in prison at the age of 25. And 50Cent? He had 372 song, but was a gangster and wasn’t signed with any record label so was really doing it for nothing. Bur tupac Amaru Shakur? At the age of 25 he was killed! He had over 1000 songs and still more that have not yet been released. At 25 he was one of the worls most notorious rappers. Today he is still considered the best by so many people worldwide. Tupac had such a tough life and got through it all and became a KING! Even though he might not have been the greatest role model for youngsters he made it big. In my opinion there is only one word that could fully fit the the description of Tupac Amaru Shakur. That word is “LEGEND”
