Century City, CA --The L.A. Times is reporting that the FBI is involved in an investigation of James and Pamela Fayed's gold trading business. The investigation was underway at the time of Pamela Fayed’s murder. In high octane divorces such as Fayed’s criminal accusations by one spouse against the other are common. My obvious thought’s go to a really nasty betrayal giving rise to an incredibly volatile motive for murder. James Fayed has retained Los Angeles Criminal lawyer Mark J Werksman and it's safe to say Fayed is no longer answering any questions posed by law enforcement. If there is the slightest amount of probable cause for criminal fraud you can count on law enforcement pulling that trigger and arresting James Fayed just to lift his passport if for no other reason pending any trial. Let me go out on a limb and predict that a quick arrest unrelated to murder is in the cards. Updated! Click here for the very latest information on this investigation Here’s what the L....

Los Angeles, CA .—This time it will all be a lot different. The second murder trial of Phil Spector may not be continually broadcast. Court TV is no longer covering high profile trials under their new direction and name, Tru-TV . Other TV news outlets are very unlikely to provide full-time trial broadcast crews. One reason is local and national news directors feel the public does not really care about these high profile trials. Another reason is the budgets for such coverage no longer exist since TV viewers have fled the medium in droves. Court TV provided a cheap Internet Feed of the first trial to KTLA-TV and KNBC-TV . With the help of a streaming video broadcast both KTLA -TV and KNBC-TV were able cover the entire trial on their websites. The KTLA-TV effort was anchored by veteran reporter Marta Waller and various lawyers used co-anchors. KTLA-TV also ran a Court TV style Internet forum that became more of a gossip outlet for those who hated Phil Spector. Over all KTLA-TV and Mart...

Century City, CA—Pamela Goudie Fayed, 44 of Camarillo in Ventura County was stabbed to death Monday evening in an nearby parking structure of the Century City Mall . Witnesses heard the victim’s blood-chilling loud screams that echoed throughout the mall until her last breath. Century City Mall area is a place where crime is the exclusive province of some upscale shoplifters and a few dishonest store employees. This is as safe a place as can be found around any trendy mall. These types of crimes are unheard of where the high fashion ladies spend huge amounts of money so they dress and look wonderful. I can’t help but wonder what Fayed needed for that extraordinary look for a special event in her second coming as a divorcee? The mother of two children was there for a reason. Maybe she was there for something more mundane. She was at a building located at at 1875 Century Park East, that houses officers for lawyers, accountants, movie producers and others. Perhaps Fayed was there to take...

Joliet, IL --In a ruling handed down this morning by Will County, Circuit Court Judge Richard Schoenstedt he refused to dismiss a felony Indictment against retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson for, Unlawful Use of a Weapon. The issue is the length of the barrel on Peterson’s Colt, AR-15 rifle he used in connection with duty on the department’s SWAT Team. The Illinois State Police claimed the barrel was 3/8 on an inch too short of the required 16 inches for civilian ownership. Apparently the judge did not agree with defense lawyer Joel Brodsky’s position that a federal law in fact allowed such possession. The ruling came after a motion made last month by Peterson’s lawyer to dismiss the allegation based on a federal law that allows such weapons to be in possession of police officers. Now this case moves into the discovery phase and it’s expected that the defense will seek to have Peterson’s rifle examined and measured by a firearms expert. I have repeatedly report...

Los Angeles --The L.A. City Council has stepped in to control the diet and nutritional choices for residents of certain poor neighborhoods. The council was concerned about obesity and all those diseases that are enabled through poor nutrition. Yesterday, they banned new fast food restaurants in or near poor neighborhoods. I’m trying to figure out why only folks in the poor neighborhoods are worthy of having the food police? Perhaps the concerned folks on the City Council could bring more laws that would mandate good table manners and brushing teeth after every meal while they’re at it. What makes politicians believe they must interfere with absolutely every aspect of our lives? Where in the Constitution did they suggest America’s free enterprise needed to be strangled by red tape, regulations and outright bans? With the unlimited lawmaking ability of city councils, county, state and state federal government we will soon have killed every tree in America to make enough law books. Is thi...

Los Angeles 11:42 AM .–Being in a multiple story building while the building begins shaking is unsettling. I’m always prepared for any emergency but felt foolish that I was wasting time looking for my wallet, keys, cell phone and gun so I could escape a potential disaster. Quick! I need my laptop and cameras! There’s no time! Had this been a big one I was toast and knew it. The building went up and down numerous times before it began to rock back and forth. It seemed like little more than 2 minutes but soon the quake slowed down and stopped and that gave me hope. I also knew the odds were slim that this was going to hit really big. After a deep breath and a quick phone call I went outside and saw the wide smiles of people, mostly UCLA students that were glad to be alive and not dealing with property damage. At this time we all seem safe and things are getting back to normal. I can’t help but wonder how they weathered this quake at the downtown L.A. pre-trial hearing of record ...

We in America were protected by our brilliant founding fathers better than most will ever realize. We have a Bill of Rights that most folks don’t really know about or think are only protections for serial killers. A regular visitor to this blog was just sworn in as a citizen. He is a refugee from the United Kingdom. He sought citizenship because he admired our freedom that exists in few countries on this planet. He sent me a link to a Tucson, AZ blog link, Disloyal Opposition . I got a lot of questions as a firearm instructor about cooperating with police after someone justifiably shoots another in self-defense. I put an entire half-hour into my presentation to cover this subject. I always get lots of argument about my instructions to students about the four words I tell them to say, “I want a lawyer.” The emotionally charged critics of my advice tell me, “No! Tell the cops you shot him because you were in fear of your life!” Confession to the police that it was you who shot that...

We Americans are so candyassed and super-sensitive about such terms as Nigger, Kike, Slope, Wop, Spick, Polack and Mick. You can call people the most vile of insulting names and nobody cares until race is involved. The question I have is who is more ignorant, the person using the words or those reacting or more often over-reacting to them. I’m not sure why that too many African-Americans use the ‘N” word on each other but absolutely go bananas when they hear that word said by members of other races. Fighting words? Hardly, just pure and simple bad taste. Civilized folks avoid those words. These are only words and we give these words and those who use them raw power they don’t deserve. If people would stop programming themselves to be offended and remember the, Sticks and Stones” rhyme instead the nasty racial epithets those ugly words would soon disappear.

Los Angeles— Yes, I do serious criminal defense investigations along with other endeavors. When I’m retained to work on a defendant’s behalf I’m on the side of exploiting reasonable doubt and mitigating despicable acts that people do. I prefer the matters where a client is innocent any day and there are an abundance of them to handle. If I’m retained on a criminal case I cannot also blog about it. No defense lawyer would allow that and when it was discovered any judge would impose one of those rare gag orders. The defense attorneys would be very unhappy about that. As for those high profile criminal cases I showcase here are for the most part matters where reasonable doubt and serious questions of innocence are very real. Private investigators like me exist for one simple reason; people lie and do so freely even while under oath in courtrooms. That includes government witnesses and people designated by police as victims. Our job is to learn the truth for our clients so it can be ...

Bollingbrook, IL-- I received a comment from one of the Illinois State Police self described informants, Len Wawczak . Wawczak claimed that he and his wife used Illinois State Police eavesdropping equipment during a seven month period to somehow implicate, retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson in the mysterious disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy Peterson. For obvious reasons I can’t reprint his remarks for the libelous statements and gratuitous profanity contained in the response. Here is an excerpt from his comment where Wawczak defends his Bankruptcy with an explanation that is in no way supported in the official court records. Here is the excerpt: “I would like to talk about the bankruptcy for a few though , if anyone knows anything about filing bankruptcy then you would know that my case was filed May 11th 2004 and dismissed July 14th 2004 ( 2 months later ) that's not even long enough to do a chapter 13 which by the way is a pay-back plan ( so I had plans on ...

I have wondered what it would be like for Drew Peterson’s Children to be caught in the middle of the investigation and search for Stacy Peterson. I think we can all agree that no child deserves punishment for what their parents are merely suspected of doing. With respect to Peterson’s children the government ‘s conduct must be reigned in somehow. I personally take no position on the guilt or innocence of Drew Peterson for any crime. America’s presumption of innocence is something that I’m thankful about. It’s the hallmark of a free country along with free speech and the right to keep and bear arms. If police can establish a crime and probable cause to make an arrest that is their mission that we all must respect. A suspect’s Due Process rights to a fair trial will follow. Proven guilt will be punished under our justice system. During an interview with Peterson's lawyer, Joel Brodsky he expressed concerns about continuing police conduct and the emotional damage that's being in...

Click on scene picture to enlarge. Bolingbrook, IL .—Self -described Illinois State Police informant, Len Wawczak is in custody of Bolingbrook police after he was arrested for battery on Drew Peterson outside the Hydrogliphics barber shop on Schmidt Rd in Bolingbrook just walking distance from Peterson’s home, The attacked happened shortly before 2:00 PM. Witnesses claimed to have seen the "wired" informant attack Peterson while Peterson's back was turned. Reportedly neither Peterson nor his attacker required emergency medical treatment. Wawczak should be eligible for release on the standard $1000.00 bail after he completes the booking process and his fingerprint clears a standard warrant check. Update: Bolingbrok police have asked the Will County State'sAttorney for approval of felony charges. If they are approved the bail must be set by a judge in Joliet before Wawczak can be released. Second update: Bollingbrook police have infact charged Wawczak with a sing...

Bolingbrook, IL.-- Police informants Len Wawczak and his wife Paula Stark are no strangers to courthouses. Their credibility may well rest with their past endeavors. I’m still looking for additional documents to post here on the couple who claim to have bugged Peterson for seven months in an effort to solve the case of Stacy Peterson. These are record summaries from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Wiil County Circuit Court In Joliet, Illinois.

Memphis, TN —Police officers across the country have quickly discovered the power of information. Today’s technology has given individual officers the power to unwrap their own agency’s dirty laundry and questionable practices. The tool is a simple blog. Unlike my blog, most police blogs not run by the agencies but are authored by anonymous officers. They are sure to become the object of wrath if their identities are discovered. There are several such blogs listed in my sidebar. Most I listed are located in the Chicago area. The two most widely read police blogs are Chicago’s Secondcitycop and New York’s, NYPD Rant . The Rant editor was uncovered and quickly fired. Secondcitycop’s fate has been better, so far. Memphis police officials are trying to uncover the authorship and readers of MPD Enforcer 2.0. That popular site has brought sunshine to an otherwise secret world angering city officials and police administrators. The Memphis Police Department has started a fight by tryin...

Los Angeles —Lawyers for both sides are setting the stage for the second trial of legendary record producer, Phil Spector on the charge of 1st Degree Murder. This is in connection with the tragic death of Lana Clarkson . Lana Clarkson a total stranger to Phil Spector, agreed to leave her job at the Hollywood House of Blues and go to Spector’s home spending the night. Clarkson’s false eyelashes were left on a bathroom sink, and there is solid DNA evidence that she willingly engaged in sexual activity with Spector. Sometime in the morning hours Clarkson who was addicted to and clearly under the influence of narcotic pain killers and alcohol suffered an intra-oral gunshot wound and expired in a chair. The real question is, how did she get that way? I have extensively written about this case from the beginning and believe as does the defense that this wound was self-inflicted and not a crime. The absence of blood and tissue spray on either sleeve of Spector’s white dinner jacket tells th...

Bolingbrook, IL—Stacy Peterson is still missing. Drew Peterson is suspected of somehow causing or assisting that reality. The Illinois State Police have the task of unraveling that mystery. With a lack of viable suspects Drew Peterson himself is their only hope to solve this case. That is of course only if he’s nefariously involved. The ISP has slowly run out of options on this case. Their best hope was by the employment of two friends of Peterson willing to sell him out. That program failed as the two spies made a clumsy effort to out, themselves so book publishers and such would call. The spilled their guts to the Chicago Sun Times. The real problem is they have nothing to sell. No smoking guns or bodies were uncovered. There is a new tool for the police and that is the Internet. There are a bunch of forums or blogs that operate like forums dedicated to the effort to find Stacy Peterson. For the most part these sites are visited by those people with too much time on their...

Bollingbrook, IL —It was 1968 when the late artist, Andy Warhol proclaimed that, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." I can’t imagine how the tragic case of a missing woman was become a way to fame and fortune for any and every opportunist. Anyone who can generate the most meaningless gossip about Drew Peterson automatically gets face-time in the major media. Rather than wage a campaign dedicated to finding the missing mother of two, Stacy Peterson this has become another kind of war. The minor players are competing to see who can profit the most from or get enough attention as to make or advance a career for minor players. I call this the O.J. phenomena , where even the most minor players and pundits got really rich. The only convicted felon of the Simpson case was a police detective who was indicted, convicted, disgraced and fired. Today he is a bestselling author and paid contributor for Fox News . Did I forget to mention that Mark Furhman...

Berlin--Barack Obama supporters are planning a huge party for Germany’s youth in Berlin. The party goers will be bused in from all directions to make merry and drink free beer. Rather than being a political event this will be nothing more than a giant festival. I suspect this will also be an unwelcome mess for the German authorities who already made the Brandenburg Gate off limits to Obama’s group. Unlike Obama, the late President John F. Kennedy had a strong and welcome anti-Communist political message of support for the German people. Many Berliners still had vivid memories of the Russian Communists and their brutal non-stop rapes of Berlin's young women and children. Obama has nothing but free beer for his intended invitees. Obama will speak for sure and one thing we can count on is that not a single word of that speech will have been written by the candidate. Obama is the quintessential empty suit. Obama can’t remember the length of the terms for the office he is seeking...

Most Airports around the country allow for lawful or licensed carry of firearms up to the TSA ’s Gun Free Zone where the searching of passengers begins. Some lawmakers want to place the entire world in a Gun Free Zone but jurisdictional boundaries, the Constitution and armed criminals make that pipe dream impossible. Because of simple crime private investigators like me are called upon to perform bodyguard duties. Often I do this for specific threats where the police can’t provide this service. Very often I bring to or pick up people I’m retained to protect from airports. Because of the maniacal TSA regulations, I cannot accompany a client while armed on a commercial plane despite having numerous licenses and various gun permits. I am however entitled to drop off and meet clients at most TSA checkpoints or as they exit the airport’s Gun Free Zones. There is a new prohibition movement that would require my clients to be unprotected anywhere on airport grounds. This effort is a recip...

The revelations in tonight’s Chicago’s media publishing and broadcasting are about the former friends of Drew Peterson who became agents/informants for the Illinois State Police. Len Wawczak , 42, said he and his wife, Paula Stark , 38, have known and been friends with Peterson for 16 years. That has now been changed forever. The cooperative couple wore police provided eavesdropping devices for months in an effort to snare Peterson in an incriminating conversation. The real problem here is that inconvenient Bill of Rights . Since Peterson invoked his rights to not answer questions and has a lawyer, the police and their agents must first read Peterson his Miranda rights before that ask him questions. In fact, the police are not even permitted to talk with Peterson at all. This however does not prevent the police from arresting Peterson if they develop probable cause. It’s abundantly clear that Stacy Peterson needs to be found and anyone involved in a criminal act should get all the ser...

Berlin’s 1864-1873 Prussian Victory symbol, Siegessäule will be the place where Obama will try to emulate the that great speech of John F. Kennedy where he proclaimed, “Ich bin ein Berliner!” That speech made JFK a hero in the eyes on many anti-Communist , West German families that displayed Kennedy’s picture in their home for decades after. I view this effort as a sacrilege and a poor attempt to hold on to the coat tails of a dead American hero. Today, Obama wants to bring us the very same horrible ideals Kennedy fought as Navy commander during World War Two in the South Pacific. Obama embraces the teachings of Karl Marx that tore Berlin apart during the Cold War. Obama is no John Kennedy.

Detroit, MI -Wayne County Michigan Prosecutor, Kym Worthy announced that Susan Lefevrere now known as Marie Walsh will be prosecuted for her escape more than three decades ago. Walsh now faces an additional five years in prison. As a first time offending teenager and college student Walsh was arrested in Saginaw for selling a small amount of drugs. Walsh pled guilty and got an unexpected maximum sentence of 10 to 20 years behind bars. Walsh was placed in a Detroit area prison where the population was 90 % African-American and soon was the target of threats. Walsh fled with the assistance of her grandfather. Walsh married and raised a family of three children in Suburban San Diego. Walsh changed her ways and friends and never looked back, that is until a knock at her door by Deputy US Marshals. Walsh was returned to that Michigan prison as her family, neighbors, friends and total strangers rallied around her begging officials for clemency. Walsh may have had the brush with the ...

*EXCLUSIVE* Bolingbrook, IL—Drew Peterson stands charged with a firearm law felony in connection to a personally owned SWAT duty rifle. The Illinois State Police claim the weapon’s barrel is 3/8 of an inch too short of 16 inches required for civilian ownership. Federal law provides an exemption for such weapons for sworn police officers but the authorities seem to have forgotten or chose to ignore that this rifle was Peterson's departmentally authorized SWAT weapon. Allegations are always cheap but making them stand the test of the courtroom is another matter. Retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson’s lawyer, Joel Brodsky did his homework and subpoenaed various records. Once the records were produced sure enough it’s clear that Peterson was in fact authorized to use the weapon and that he qualified with it. Prior to 2006 The Bolingbrook PD had a special departmental form for secondary weapon qualification. Peterson’s Colt AR-15 rifle was clearly listed. Apparentl...

TEHRAN, Iran —Nine people including eight women aged 27 to 50 years-old are to be stoned to death for the capital crime of simple adultery. They were convicted after Iran’s dubious version of a fair trial. They condemned prisoners apparently confessed while under Islamic interrogation. The condemned face partial burial so they are immobilized during their killing. The women will be buried up to their necks and the man up to his waist. This is a case where the accusers, government, religious leaders need to suffer this barbaric punishment much more than the people they will kill. It’s time to turn Iran into a giant burned out parking lot. The Islamic savages are much too dangerous to be allowed to live in this world. Let’s vaporize the bastards before they kill us first.

Many of my visitors are fellow bloggers. If you are a blogger this article is for you. This is no laughing matter. In America anyone can sue anyone for anything. When you get that court summons you must respond and deal with it or even the most meritless case will result in a judgment against you if you fail to defend yourself in court. You have a right to publish an opinion and as long as the things you publish are true you’re generally okay. Saying things about public figures are often protected but saying the same about your co-worker or next-door neighbor is not. You can say just about whatever you want about the dead and never be sued. The best rule is to restrict you publishing to only what’s true and provable. Bloggers need credibility and libel is the fasted way to lose it and perhaps your retirement. An example of libel may be something a reader said that you failed to even see. Often I get cut and paste material on the comments that violate copyright laws. I have to t...

Here's something that will put weapon hating politicians into a cardiac arrest! I'm sure we will see this knife in a Hollywood film murder scene any day now. The WASP knife pictured and seen in this video will give a helping blast of CO2 to your target bringing on some real additional trauma to those organs. You can get you very own before they are banned right here!

Chicago—Sheriff Tom Dart has allowed the inmates to run the asylum. In a nearly 100 page report the Justice Department exposed dangers, appalling medical care and a mass violation of the civil rights of Cook County Jail's inmates. Most people don’t care about jail conditions until they or a family member wind up there. What we fail to think about are the people who were arrested and awaiting their day in court. People never before arrested are too often there as a result of mistaken evidence or witnesses and are housed with the killers and rapists. The sad truth is the jail is inhabited by 90% African-Americans. Young white inmates are routinely forced to submit to sexual assault by the African-American inmates. It’s always been that way. I first found myself sent to the jail in 1967 to handle some nasty disturbances when the infamous Jack Johnson was warden. He used the Barn Boss system of letting inmates enforce discipline. Cash could buy an inmate anything including priva...

In D.C. vs. Heller the court gave gun owners the gift of vague descriptions of firearms that are protected and therefore cannot be banned. The Court avoided defining constitutionally protected weapons other than to say that, it protects handguns and other weapons "in common use." The court suggested that dangerous or unusual weapons may not be protected and sidestepped saying just what those were. Weapons in common use applies to military and police weapons. That makes the case that the banned black semi-automatic rifles and pistols with large capacity magazines that are, in common use cannot be denied. This has gotten interesting, because USA vs. Miller held military type weapons are protected. Now Heller says that gun possession is an individual right rather than a government or collective right. I can only see one meaning here and that is a much broader assortment of weapons are now definitively protected including all semi-automatic and perhaps fully automatic weapons...

I’ve read the rumors all over the Internet along with the pro-Obama screams that this story is nothing but a smear. American Presidents are required by our Constitution to be an American by birth. Does Obama qualify? That should be simple to answer. Okay, let’s put it to bed with a certified copy from the state vital records department once and for all. Where is it? I’m waiting…

Chicago --A woman is robbed and shot outside a trendy restaurant while waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up. The police take the report and as always publically list the suspects' three easiest identifiers, sex, race and age. This is done so that people that don’t possess these identifying characteristics can quickly be eliminated from suspicion. Broadcasting descriptions does help police solve crimes. The media more often than not will list anything but race as they use their mass communication to hinder rather than help any search for suspects. Why do they even bother giving and description at all? One only needs to look at the racial population of their jail and prisons to know that violent crime is most often a product from minorities. I guess the media feels Americans are unworthy of knowing the truth.

The Chicago Police Department has been turned into an undermanned, demoralized, observe and report security guard service. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the Mayor and City Council. Their Far Left politics and corruption are 100% of the problem. The elimination of self-reliance and rewarding people for avoiding productivity creates droves of ignorant but loyal voters keeping the Bolshevik despots in power indefinitely. Too many of Chicago’s citizens are only too happy to turn personal responsibilities over to any nanny government. Chicago’s politicians have made the entire population totally dependant on the police for protection and survival by violating both their gun and self-defense rights. The problem is they’ve put the handcuffs on the police and shifted the control of the city to the criminal element. Gun control began in America during post Civil War reconstruction as a way to keep the newly freed slaves disarmed and that kept the Ku Klux Klan in solid control f...
