"On north collie road near 15th street. The Arlington county fire department says flames could be seen through the roof, but firefighters quickly got them under control. Gratefully, no one was hurt. The church is still being assessed for damage, but will likely still be unusable. Three parents whose children were murdered, feared that Maryland's new parole guidelines may eventually allow The Killers to be set free, and they're now suing over those changes. Last year, a Supreme Court decision led the state to revise the process in considerations that helped determine if a convicted criminal will be granted parole. They have adopted a rule with the intention of marginalizing what happened to the victim in the first place, making that a little importance after the first parole hearing. Kurt Wolfgang of the Maryland crime victims resource center is helping to back the case, their concern is with a clause that says among the long list of things the parole commission will examine is the circumstances surrounding the crime, which diminish insignificance after the initial hearing. The state won't comment on pending litigation, but in filings for dismissal, say the plaintiff's misunderstand the process and the claws they're upset about. John dome in WTO P news.
