DescriptionThe City Hall corruption case against Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon and other officials could widen to include additional development projects, one of several fresh details revealed Thursday when prosecutors and defense attorneys met in open court for the first time.

Lawyers for developer Ronald H. Lipscomb said prosecutors are interested in his involvement in three city projects not previously targeted in January's indictment: Orchard Ridge, Frankford Estates and Uplands. Lipscomb's contracting company, Doracon, worked on all three ventures.

Additionally, State Prosecutor Robert A. Rohrbaugh introduced evidence showing that Lipscomb sent an e-mail to colleagues bragging about his ability to extract millions of dollars in tax breaks from City Hall.
