Driving Drew Peterson Into The Confessional

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 hands. They float theories back and forth loaded with misinformation thinking they are somehow helpful to the cause.

I have interacted with some of these people who follow several cases that I write about. For the most part they seem to be lonely introverts that don’t communicate like normal people.

These amateur detectives are emotionally wrapped up in these cases and they want the blood of every suspect. Their heroes are lawyers like Nancy Grace, Lisa Bloom and Wendy Murphy. To say I detest these pathetic women is an understatement. They make their living by subverting the criminal justice system.

The ISP and prosecutors love these forums because there is a cat and mouse game to be played. They know the suspects will visit these sites looking for information. The cats can cause the mice to believe that the jig is up and all the secrets are out.

The latest effort seems to surround planted stories that Peterson’s arrest is imminent. Perhaps this will drive Peterson to try and cut a deal by revealing the location of Stacy Peterson’s body for the most palatable punishment possible.

The plan is a simple one, drive Peterson straight into the police confessional and let him get it off his chest. The ISP knows every keystroke Peterson makes on his computer and can play on his weaknesses and emotions. I’m betting this effort will fail too.

If Peterson has murdered anyone, his information may well be taken to the grave with him when he dies someday. If Peterson is innocent, he has been tortured enough.

Peterson deserves the presumption of innocence up to when a jury of his peers says different.

Drew Peterson Case Is Cheap Entertainment

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 is also a multi-millionaire?

Such is the case for self-proclaimed police informants, Len Wawczak and his wife, Paula Stark. They seem to have stolen the show with their sensational revelations of spying for the Illinois State Police.

The couple claims to have gotten a few somewhat nasty quotes from Drew Peterson over a seven-month period. No tape was produced or any arrest generated by the couple's activities. Forgive me if I don’t find their lame and unsupported story even slightly newsworthy.

Some of Peterson’s busybody neighbors have gotten in on this circus act like, Sharon Bychowski who never misses any opportunity to mug for cameras or show her hatred for Drew Peterson.

All of the gossip and media posturing has not gotten the police a single inch closer to solving the mystery of Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

So far the Illinois State Police spokesman, Sgt. Tom Burek has declined to comment about the electronic eavesdropping claimed to have been done with their equipment by Wawczzak and Stark. Burek also refused to answer my questions about how much tax money was given to the couple. I can’t help but believe that poor Sgt. Burek was embarrassed by his department’s association with this salacious spy story gone wrong.

Drew Peterson and his attorney Joel Brodsky have been booked, not for a court appearance on criminal charges but for Thursday’s NBC and CBS morning news shows in New York.

Let The Obama Charade Begin!

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, the committees he sits on in the Senate and is a proven one-man gaffe machine.

Let’s ignore the fact that Obama comes from the political wing of Chicago's Mob or that he’s up to his oversize ears in corruption currently under investigation. Obama and his wife are disloyal, racists that are seeking to spread all of Chicago’s worst politics and blight on the entire country. Obama is truly dangerous for our country.

Guns, Airports And Good Intentions

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 recipe for disaster.

We have enough hurdles such as L.A.’s premier celebrity protection agency, Gavin de Becker & Associates found out after one of their licensed, bonded and firearm permitted agents was arrested in New York at the JFK Airport. De Becker’s agent found himself on the other side of some prohibition technicality even the lawyers had a difficult time figuring out.

The private detective lobby is small, inadequate and too ineffective to fight any gun laws that affect them. I refuse to pay dues to private investigator associations because like CALI they encourage and allow government to endanger their membership with these dubious gun laws.

Licensed private investigators with valid gun permits should be allowed to protect their clients anywhere inside the United States of America. We need a federal law that would allow them to do their jobs as they cross state lines.

The Drew Peterson Case Is A Primer For Really Bad Police Work

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 services that the Will County Courthouse was constructed to provide.

This case has become a sad comedy of errors by overzealous cops, busybody neighbors and armchair Internet fueled, amateur detectives that don’t have a life.

Any real evidence and prosecution that ever surfaces in this case will be tainted by:

1. The unlawful and unnecessary revocation of Peterson’s FOID card.
2. The bogus arrest over a department approved SWAT weapon.
3. The use by police of civilian agents to violate Peterson’s rights against self-incrimination and unreasonable warrantless searches.
4. Police engaging in a constant war of harassment against Drew Peterson instead of doing a legitimate investigation.
5. The unreasonable deprivation and holding of Peterson’s personal property.

Peterson will simply make a claim that he’s being framed and a jury would see that must be the case. This has been all about getting Drew Peterson no matter the cost to our American Way of Life.

As for our heroic couple Wawczak and Stark, the book and movie rights won’t be worth anything unless they can also manufacture evidence that will convict Peterson.

Had this effort turned anything useful at all Peterson would be already locked up pending a trial. Instead all we got was a media circus to tantalize us with this sleazy police spying caper.

I’m not privy to what happened to Stacy Peterson or even have a clue if she is dead or alive. This tale is horrifically tragic as every child needs their mother and Stacy’s loved ones and family misses her dearly.

Drew Peterson is the obvious suspect and police are absolutely required to do a solid investigation starting with him.

This may well be a murder and the sad truth is more murders go unsolved than ever in our free society. That’s a small price to pay for our freedom and Liberty.

The most obvious questions I have for The Illinois State Police are:

1. How much money did they pay this couple for their services?
2. Did the couple go public because they’re service were ineffective and they were terminated?

Drew Peterson is a career cop and like all of us he deserves to have the presumption of innocence we’ve fought wars to maintain.

Here is information about the latest developments from Joel Brodsky, Drew Peterson's lawyer.

Update: The ISP's official answer to my two questions was, "We have no comment on anything involving that Sun-Times article."

ISPEEVED is a blog site for Illinois State Police officers to express their opinion like tChicago cops do the Secondcitycop blog. They have weighed in on the Drew Peterson investigation and its latest turn into the abyss.

Obama’s Biggest Gaffe Yet…

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.

Injustice On Top Of Injustice In Michigan For San Diego Soccer Mom Escapee

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 law but became a law-abiding and loved member of her community.

Walsh’s lawyer filed a motion in the original Saginaw court seeking a modification of the sentence and there was real hope that mercy, and fairness would see the original sentence vacated since it was so overly harsh when it was handed down on Walsh.

Filing an escape charge now against Walsh is both pointless and beyond cruel. Is there no decency in Michigan? What’s prosecutor Kym Worthy’s ugly agenda here?

Documentary Proof The State Police Weapon Arrest Of Drew Peterson Is Bogus.

*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. Apparently after 2006 the department no longer utilized the secondary weapon qualification forms.

The rub here is that Bolingbrook Police Chief Ray McGury will be a little red faced when he answers questions about his earlier statements that Peterson’s rifle was never authorized. Now it’s clear that his earlier statements were not exactly true.

The judge has already taken Brodsky’s Motion to Dismiss under advisement but now the Motion may be supplemented with the newly discovered document. It will be a real head turner to see just what the prosecutor’s response will be.

Bolingbrook police chief a message to sent to Greta Van Sustren’s On The Record show and here is a transcript:
VAN SUSTEREN: We asked Bolingbrook police chief Ray McGurry for clarification about the gun charge against Sergeant Peterson. Chief McGurry sent us this statement. "We believe Drew Peterson purchased that weapon, an AR-15, from a third party. Drew Peterson was not authorized to carry that weapon and it is not registered with the Bolingbrook Police Department. No police officer is authorized to carry such a weapon. However, a SWAT team member is, but that weapon must be brought in and inspected by our firearms expert to make sure it doesn't violate any state or federal laws. The serial number must be recorded, and they must pass a qualifications test. Mr. Peterson did none of these. Because it was altered, this weapon is a clear violation of any regulations, and Mr. Peterson was not authorized to carry that weapon. I challenge Mr. Brodsky to subpoena our records, as he has threatened to do. He will find no record of this weapon."

In addition I have always maintained that the State Police must have measured the rifle wrong and gave erroneous information to prosecutors that the rifle’s barrel was 3/8 of an inch too short. At some point the rifle will be remeasured and the truth will also be revealed there too.

Instead of wasting time with red herrings perhaps now the state police will spend more time looking for Stacy Peterson.

Islamic Savages Must be Stopped

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.

Bloggers Being Sued For Libel

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 toss those comments.

Sometimes I get comments that seem to be too hateful or even threatening to someone I wrote about. I have to toss those too. In three years of blogging I only got one comment so bad I reported it to law enforcement.

Most lawyers will never take a case against a blogger because there are no significant assets or insurance that would justify the legal expense of filing a lawsuit.

The people with assts like the few wildly successful bloggers (that cuts me out) make them targets for litigation. Knowledge about libel law is a big help and insurance provides protection.

Cook County’s Jail Is Deadly and Disgraceful

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 privacy with his girlfriends. I remember well the electric chair near the four, deluxe Death Row cells.

It was only five years earlier when cop killer James Dukes got his final reward in the Cook County hot seat. I talked to an old reverend that walked many a man to his death in that chair. Fuhrman vs. Georgia changed all that and the chair was later sent to the Illinois Department of Corrections never to return.

After a major jail scandal Sheriff Joe Woods fired Jack Johnson and brought in Winston E. Moore to clean up the mess. The jail guards got a raise and the new misleading title of correctional officer. They were deputized and brought in under the Sheriff’s Merit Board.

In those days the Federal Metropolitan Correction did not exist and the Cook County Jail had an entire tier reserved for federal prisoners. Since most were white collar criminals or bank robbers it was the cleanest and safest part of the entire jail.

Just South of The Cook County Jail there were two facilities run by the City of Chicago. One was the Cermak Memorial Hospital which held every level of prisoner and the other was the Bridewell House of Correction that only held low level misdemeanor prisoners. These facilities were somewhat clean and safe and a better place to be held than the County Jail.

In 1970 Sheriff Joe Woods suddenly found the city jail facilities, prisoners and their guards handed over to him and that’s when the Cook County Department of Corrections was formed.

It was only a few years later when the Department of Corrections Executive Director, Winston Moore was indicted and tried for his own missteps as the old problems never went away. It was my old friend, former assistant State’s Attorney Susan Sherwin who prosecuted Moore who was ultimately acquitted.

Nobody in their right mind wants to be a jail guard so the jail is perennially understaffed and always over-crowded. Sexual assault is still realty. Jail rape is nearly always covered up because the victims face severe beatings or death if they complain to the guards. What man would ever admit getting the Buga-Buga by force in jail?

So now Sheriff Dart has inherited the problem and can’t really begin to deal with it because of the outrageously corrupt Cook County Board. No amount of deodorizer will fix this mess. Should Dart fight for the funds and tools he needs he will never see another term as Sheriff. The Cook County Democratic Party will dump him in favor of yet another yes man with missing testacals.

I wonder what pretend reforms are in store for the white inmates with the sore rectums?
