I’ve spent decades in the trenches of criminal defense as a private investigator. I’ve worked shoulder to shoulder with some of the sharpest legal minds to ever walk into a courtroom-and a few who should’ve stuck to traffic tickets. From them, I learned the law not in a classroom, but on the battlefield, where freedom hangs by a thread and the stakes are life-altering. No, I’m not a lawyer. Maybe that’s because I’ve been having too much damn fun digging up the truth, shredding bad police work, and watching DA cases fall apart under the weight of their own arrogance. This blog is about a rare and reckless breed: the pro per criminal defendant—the lone wolves who choose to defend themselves against felony charges without a lawyer. Bold? Maybe. Suicidal? Sometimes. Recently, I took on a new role under contract with the Los Angeles County Superior Court. For once, they waved enough cash under my nose to pull me in. The twist? I’m now appointed to cases defending men and women accused of...

Washington, DC—Breaking news: Kimberly A. Cheatle has announced her resignation as the Director of the Secret Service.     I am convinced that Thomas Matthew Crooks was not acting alone. It cannot be a coincidence that Crooks’ deadly movements were facilitated and enabled by the Biden/Harris-led Secret Service. This assassination attempt must be investigated by anyone other than the FBI due to their massive conflict of interest. The FBI has been relentlessly pursuing politicized and baseless charges against former President Trump for at least seven years. The FBI is part of the problem and may even be complicit in this attempted assassination. As a seasoned criminal investigator, I call for funding to assemble a team to examine this effort to murder Donald Trump. There are witnesses and others who know exactly what happened. They should be speaking to Donald Trump’s lawyers and investigators instead of the FBI or Secret Service. If you know something, speak up to anyone but th...

Los Angeles, CA-- Due process and our dubious criminal justice system is really not doing well.   Exonerations are on the rise as exhaustive post conviction investigations expose police, crime lab or prosecutorial misconduct.  It takes decades to expose wrongful convictions as these victims rot in our prisons.  This is not about reducing the penalties that criminals deserve.  This is about pure and simple justice and fairness.   Prosecutors have been given excessive powers in recent years that they nearly always abuse.  Juries almost never hear about the checkered backgrounds of witnesses and so-called victims.  The backgrounds of the accused however are nearly always disclosed.   We routinely convict people in circumstantial cases where the jury guesses guilt or innocence.   If a jury has to guess, that should dictate an acquittal but that’s just not how it works.   I have worked with the best and worst la...

I seriously want to find employment in Germany, The Netherlands or Switzerland.  If I found employment I’d relocate in a heartbeat.  Anything in film making, journalism, tourism, firearms training, security and investigation would be just fine.  I happen to speak German fairly well.  If any of my readers have any ideas for me please leave a comment.  Don’t worry I won’t publish them so leave me contact information. I will continue my blog of course unless it somehow interferes.   

Los Angeles, CA —The untimely death of Conservative blogger, Andrew Breitbart the night before he claimed to be releasing bombshell evidence that would derail Obama’s reelection campaign is beyond suspicious. I interviewed witness Christopher Lasseter who saw Beritbart cross the street from the Brentwood, step onto a curb and, “drop like a sack of potatoes.” Breitbart collapsed on the sidewalk in front of the Starbucks. Civilians, cops and paramedics treated him at the scene. He was then transported to and pronounced dead at the UCLA Medical Center in nearby Westwood. Lasseter went on to describe Breitbart’s clothing down to his high-end Converse sneakers. Lasseter was not familiar with Breitbart or his background. Lasseter was there walking his dog and became involved with the attempt to follow a 911 operator’s instructions to save the dying man’s life. I asked Lasseter specifically about Breitbart’s skin color and he said it was “bright red.” That bothered me because as...

Los Angeles, CA —Conservative blogger, Andrew Breitbart cost ACORN as much as $1 billion after exposing this criminal enterprise organization’s activities. ACORN was mired in massive vote fraud shenanigans in their successful-win at any cost effort to elect Barack Obama . Obama directed massive taxpayer handouts to ACORN in return. However Congress obstructed that effort when Andrew Breitbart published hidden video of routine government loan fraud by ACORN staffers. ACORN wound up shuttering offices and quickly restructuring their assets. The former community organizer, Barack Obama and ACORN were always joined at the hip. Obama is vital to ACORN’s survival. Andrew Breitbart was reportedly only hours away from releasing embarrassing videotapes of Barack Obama. The timing of Breitbart’s death is beyond suspect. That kind of money in the hands of the ACORN criminal enterprise can easily facilitate an assassination of nearly anyone. Breitbart had to be at the very top of their ene...

Paradise Valley, AZ —In this tranquil and upscale community crime is rare. The people here generally have wealth and in our faltering economy burglaries and home invasions are bound to increase. As bank robber Willie Sutton once answered a reporter asking him why he robbed banks, “It’s where the money is!” Today gold, gems and a simple set of silver flatware will fetch record prices. Most people use banks and credit cards and don’t keep much cash on hand. The police department here is comprised of 25 sworn and certified officers. This department has a history of incompetence and became a place for otherwise unemployable cops fired from other agencies. This was the case in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I don’t want to leave anyone with that impression today because the troubled officers for the most part have faded off into the sunset with their substandard supervisors and chiefs. Commander Alan Laitsch has been around a long time and has proven himself to be contentious and...

Los Angeles, CA —As the Golden state can’t pass a budget, pay its bills or keep dangerous convicts in their prisons, lawmakers want to expand gun registration to all rifles and shotguns. The simple but important question is about any value of registration itself. State and local registration are duplicating provisions of the 1968 Gun Control Act that required every gun dealer in the United States to record sales information for every transaction. Guns are traced on request of any police agency anyway. Buying a firearm is a complicated process and for many years the FBI has been conducting background investigations on each and every prospective gun buyer at the point of sale. The proponents of registration claim it’s a needed investigative tool for police. In my 40 years inside the criminal justice system I can tell you that criminals simply don’t leave guns behind at crime scenes. If a gun is found at a crime scene it was seized from the suspect. We do know that criminals never reg...

Bangkok- This is the premier sex playground of the world. Popular actor, David Carradine was found dead, hanging in a hotel closet suspended by his neck and genitals. The cause of death was from accidental affixation, due to a deadly phenomenon known as auto erotic affixation. This is where a person usually a man masturbates using wires or ropes to deprive him of oxygen. Pathologists tell me that it gives the practitioner of this form of sex an extra kick. As always happens, close friends and relatives want to protect the decedent from the horror and embarrassment of this kind of disclosure. They refuse to accept the findings of forensic experts that investigate these cases. I have investigated many of these cases as a cop and later a private eye. I’ve never seen a medical examiner proven wrong on these unusual deaths. Millions of dollars are paid every year to investigators and “experts” to manufacture findings that will contradict the salacious gossip of what may be considered ...
