FALLS ROAD COMMUNITY ASS’N, INC., ET AL.v.BALTIMORE COUNTY MARYLAND, ET AL.
Court of Appeals, McDonald, Filed Feb. 25, 2014,
Not a criminal case, but our hearts at MDCrime.Org go out to J. McDonald who clearly injured himself stretching to make and transition between two completely blown footnote jokes in the opening page of the opinion.

Flowers can be sent to:
Honorable Robert N. McDonald
County Courts Building
401 Bosley Avenue
Towson, MD 21204

[Where the case arises from a controversy about the paving of a parking lot on park land]
J. McDonald dropped the following footnote:
Although the particular property may fall short of paradise, this turn of events seemed to reflect the chorus of a popular song:
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Til it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Joni Mitchell, Big Yellow Taxi (1970).

and from that incredibly forced position, transitioned ON THE SAME PAGE to

[Noting the complication of having Baltimore County as landlord, code enforcer, and administrative adjudicator]
J. McDonald must have injured himself dropping the second footnote:
It is perhaps to these different capacities of the County government that the Court of Special Appeals was alluding when it characterized government as a “many-necked Hydra” – a monster of ancient Greek mythology that was said to have between five and 100 heads. 203 Md. App. 425, 438, 38 A.3d 493 (2012). We need not count past three to find these circumstances confusing enough.

Poor, poor man.
