Pamela Fayed Murder Story Unfolds At Federal Court Bond Hearing

Los Angeles,CA-- U.S. District Court Magistrate Ralph Zarefsky is still hearing lawyer’s arguments at the bail hearing of James Fayed.

Prosecutors asked that bail for Fayed be denied because of issues surrounding Pamela Fayed’s murder and alleged earlier death threats made to her by her husband.

Assistant U.S. Atty. Mark R. Aveis revealed that Pamela Fayed was murdered when she came to Century City to meet with her husband and their lawyers to resolve numerous legal issues with their businesses.

Aveis said the vehicle used to commit the murder was rented with James Fayed’s credit card. Video surveillance cameras captured the vehicle license plates, which was registered to an Avis car rental office in Ventura County. The credit card itself was found in Fayed’s wallet when he was arrested.

Also seized during the search was $3 million in gold bullion, $60,000.00 in currency and 25 of what the prosecutor called, “assault rifles” with thousands of rounds of ammunition. (Update: In a document filed August 6 the government revealed there were 31 firearms discovered and not seized as they were lawfully possessed.)

Aveis called Fayed’s gold business a Ponzi scheme. As much as $20 million dollars has been invested by people. The allegation casts doubts that those investors will be repaid.

Aveis Called James Fayed a suspect in the “murder for hire” of Pamela Fayed.

At this hour the hearing is still going on and the Magistrate has not yet set bail or conditions.

If Fayed was convicted in this single charge he would only face a maximum offive years in prison.

Update! The Bail Hearing concluded with bail set at $500,000.00. According to the U.S. Attorney’s spokesman, Thom Mrozek, prosecutors plan to appeal the magistrate’s order and Fayed will remain in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Facility until a hearing to be held on Wednesday.

If you are going to go to this extent to end someones life and risk loosing your liberty why in the world are you going to use your credit card and rent get-away vehicle from an office near you? You sure someone hasn't set him up? Because I have a hard time believing a man smart enough to make that kinda money and run that kinda business is that sloopy and stupid.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive. Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning. That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed. It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide. Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community. Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
