The testimony ended yesterday, finally depositing with Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Ellen L. Hollander sole responsibility for determining in the next weeks whether Henry Howard, killer of four family members nine years ago, can now safely rejoin society.But before beginning her private deliberations, the judge shared her dilemma with the court and particularly with Baltimore Assistant State's Attorney Edwin Wenck, who argued that Mr. Howard is not yet ready for a conditional release from the Clifton T. Perkins Hospital for the criminally insane.
