Blottered: Bustin' Our Cherry Tops
Welcome to Blottered, a blog about crime that will attempt to cover everything under the dark of night and in a trenchcoat, from suburban vandalism to international drug-diamonds-strip clubs-porn-fur-monkey paws-bootleg DVDs-money laundering-mailorder bride-weapons rings. More background is available here. This is a group blog, a baker's dozen so far, and we're always looking for more so please contact us if you're interested. Here's a sample of current contributor credentials brighter than an interrogation room's swinging light.
*I am a law student at Brooklyn Law School, summer-in-DC clerk, homesick for NY, and eager to write for your new crime blog.
*I studied criminology in college and even have a semester of a Criminal Justice PhD at John Jay under my belt.
*I'm interested in playing crime blogger. Granted, I'm just some chick in the midwest who is totally not cool and reads Curbed with a quiet desperation (such desperation that I'm actually moving to NYC this summer. If that helps, that is. If not, pretend I didn't mention it.), but that's all I've got.
*I have no knowledge of crime except for being accused of trespassing once (charges dropped) and watching lots of Cracker on BBC America, but I'm sure that's nothing a little del.icio.us keyword fishing and some strongly worded google alerts (assault + Squid + Wheelchair) won't fix.
As if that's not enough we also have two people with law degrees (one who is actually practicing law), the crime fiction columnist for the Baltimore Sun, two marooned ex-editors of Gridskipper, the son of a CT preacher man, and FishbowlNY's Foreign Correspondent.
