Court Records Reveal More about the Tempe Arizona Lawyer Arrested in Shooting Case

Phoenix, AZ—Tempe criminal lawyer Joseph Palmisano appeared before a a judge this morning with his lawyer Jason Goldstein on charges of Atempted 2^nd Degree Murder and kidnapping in connection with the shooting of Ryan Hall, 25. Bail was set in the amount of $180,000.00.

According to a police report, Palmisano who was in his car allegedly approached Ryan Hall in the lawyer’s parking lot with a .357 handgun. As the lawyer exited his vehicle he approached and ordered Hall at gunpoint out of his car. Hall grabbed the barrel of the lawyer’s gun and during the struggle Hall was shot in the back. Unnamed witnesses observed Palmisano entering his office with gun in hand.

Police took the cooperative Palmisano into custody without incident.

Police said that Palmisano waived his rights against self-incrimination and told them he came to his office to deal with a child custodial exchange for his secretary/girlfriend, Catelyn Foster. Hall and Foster apparently had a son together in their prior troubled relationship. Palmisano said he’d been dating Foster for the last six months.

Palmisano told police that he thought that Hall had hacked his computers and tapped his telephones.

The kidnapping charge obviously came as a result of Palmisano telling police he wanted to bring Hall into his office.

Hall told police he was recording the event on his iPhone, which police recovered.

Hall remained in a local hospital this morning where he’s recovering from his single gunshot wound.

Palmisano was ordered back to court on April 25 @ 8:30 AM at the Southeast Judicial District in Meas, AZ.

A side note here is that even experienced criminal lawyers fail to follow their own advice. Never enter interrogation rooms or waive your right to remain silent. Simply tell them that you want a lawyer. On the face of things his blabbing to cops brought on the kidnapping charge and his bail was more than doubled as a result.

There seems to be a lot more to this story beyond the information provided to the court by the Tempe police. I'm looking for anyone that can tell me about Ryan Hall's activities good or bad. Send me an e-mail to housedick @ gmail.com please.

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 ...

Tyranny, Government Corruption and Democide

Americans like to think they are exceptional. Yet most couldn’t tell you the first thing about how governments, like clockwork, repeat the same bloody cycles of tyranny and collapse. Everyone assumes the Nazis hold the crown for worst government in history. Sure, Hitler’s crew were sadistic thugs who industrialized murder. But “the worst”? Not even close. They just happened to do their killing during a time when cameras, film, and bureaucratic obsession with record-keeping made their atrocities impossible to hide. If Goebbels had been working with the technology of Genghis Khan, you’d barely have a postcard left to prove it. History is littered with tyrants who weren’t so kind as to leave photo albums of their mass murders. The Turks tried to erase the Armenians. Stalin starved Ukraine into submission during the Holodomor, then doubled down by purging his own people until the bodies stacked higher than Lenin’s promises. Mao made Stalin look like an amateur, turning his “Great Leap F...
