Odds Are Recovered Child Remains Are Caylee Anthony’s

Orlando, FL—Skeletal remains of a small female child were found today within blocks of missing three year-year old, Caylee Anthony. A utility worker found the remains that were wrapped in a plastic garbage bag and duct tape.

This is either a murder or a covered up accidental death. The cause of death will be a challenge to determine after six months and the advanced decomposition. Speculation will continue.

I suspect the girl’s brain may contain traces of chloroform. Police believe that chemical was involved as a tool to keep the girl asleep while her mother partied. Perhaps this will bring about the closure of part or all of the mystery. This also my only bring more questions than answers.

I don’t expect that the girl’s mother will be more willing to talk because of this. The discovery may however hasten a guilty plea of Casey Anthony who is already facing murder charges.

We can expect police to obtain yet another search warrant to look for plastic and duct tape at the Anthony home to match to the what was found with the remains.

The Ruffalo Shooting And The Beverly Hills Police Investigation

Beverly Hills, CA—It was an awful and tragic event that brought Beverly Hills police to the home of actor Mark Ruffalo’s brother Scott Ruffalo. He suffered a gunshot wound to his head and was unconscious. Ruffalo later died.

Police became aware that others were present and put out a dragnet to locate and detain them.

There is a big rub here. Witnesses or offenders are not required to talk to police. Witness can be compelled by court order to testify unless they assert their rights against self-incrimination. The primary suspect was 26 year-old Shaha Mishaal Adham. This woman did not hang around the scene nor was she required to do so. A 911 call was made and help was on the way.

The apparent evidence indicated that Ruffalo was playing Russian Roulette and that the wound was self-inflicted. Generally this can be proven by tests for gunshot residue. Positioning evidence of the gun to skin can and generally will show either contact or close to contact gun muzzle distances.

Suspect Adham entered the Beverly Hills Police Department later, and was arrested. She retained lawyer, Ronald Richards. After hours of discussion police released Adham and announced she had been cleared.

That clearance is not set in stone if other evidence can establish Probable Cause. I don’t expect that to happen.

Toxicological testing is a painfully slow process and will eventually show if and what intoxicating chemical substances Ruffalo has been using if that were the case.

Not every violent death is a murder and innocent people often leave the scene of frightening events. Leaving the scene of such an event and the failure or refusal to talk to police is no crime, but your absolute right. Talking to police without an attorney present is always a terrible idea.

Good Advice for Governor Rod Blagojevich

Start Snitching!

Arizona Reporter’s Killing To Be A Major Motion Picture


Phoenix, AZ—It was a warm June day in 1976. It was nearing lunch time when in the Central Phoenix, Clarendon Hotel parking lot there was a loud explosion. Emergency responders found a severely injured man in a mangled small white Datun agonizing in pain. A remote controlled bomb that had been attached under the driver’s seat by magnets did the job it was designed to do.

The man was transported to the nearby Str. Joseph’s Hospital where he suffered with the loss of both legs for no less than ten days before his injuries took his life.

Soon the explosion was heard in newsrooms throughout the world. The victim, reporter, Don Bolles would become a legend. What followed was some of the worst police work in Arizona history.

Reporters from throughout the country all descended on Phoenix and virtually took over the police investigation. The problem was they weren’t cops. They knew a lot about conducting the paper chase of public records but they did not understand police work or the criminal justice process.

Bolles death became known as the Arizona Project and brought about the birth of the venerable Investigative Reporters and Editors organization.

The litigation both criminal and civil went on for decades. Death sentences were handed out and later, set aside. Multiple trials were held and over many years I made a significant portion of my living off of various related investigations. Today one man, Max Dunlap remains in the Arizona State Prison Complex-Lewis Southwest of Phoenix after his second conviction for the crime.

It was believed that Bolles was blown up over his unflattering news stories about the late Arizona businessman Kemper Marley, Sr. Like any major mystery conspiracy theories were the talk of the nation’s newsrooms. Police had to rely on physical evidence, and the stories of the people rounded up as a result of the investigation. Sorting out the truth was an impossible task.

The vicious bombing death and the fallout led to a lot of changes both in Arizona law enforcement and Newsrooms. After Bolles the Phoenix Police Department made their offices off limits to reporters, who formerly had the run of the place.

Ben Affleck and Miramax Films along with producer Sean Bailey are working hard to share this compelling story to a theater near you.

News Media Shows Ignorance Of The Law Over Blagojevich Arrest.

Los Angeles, CA—I’m watching news coverage and reading major news media stories about Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. A great number of reporters are talking about the "indictment" of the governor on corruption charges.

There is just one giant problem and that’s Governor Blagojevich has not been indicted. That is expected to happen soon but right now he was arrested on a criminal complaint with an attached sworn affidavit. I guess the reporters and producers just don’t understand the process and don’t research the crap they write.

Do a Google search on Blagojevich and indictment and you will see the offenders for yourself.

The US Attorney’s office made a solid press release and a copy of the criminal complaint available to everyone and anyone who wanted it. I posted the material on this blog and the word indictment or Grand Jury can’t be found anywhere.

Prosecutors now have limited time to get a Grand Jury to return an indictment. When it comes there will be more than two names and a whole gang of new charges. The hapless Governor and his Chief of Staff along with additional defendants will have to attend an arraignment after that happens.

If prosecutors are tardy with an indictment the present case will be dismissed. That’s not a problem because they are free to re-charge Blagojevich with the indictment.

In the mean time perhaps some news directors and editors need to educate their hired help.

Chicago’s Democratic Politicians are extortionist and Thugs


Chicago,IL—After patronage was somewhat abolished by a 1969 court decision called the Shakman Decree and several years of follow-up litigation the Democrats changed their direction.

Since the army of patronage workers was decimated by Shakman the politicians turned to government contractors to fund the campaigns with cold hard cash. This went so far out-of-control that government in Illinois was ruled by extortion and bribery.

It’s impossible for anyone to become an Illinois Senator or a presidential candidate without out being inside of the thick of the criminal cabal. There is no way for President-Elect Barack Obama to escape the taint of business as usual in Illinois corruption. Of course the investigation could be shut down and derailed by additional criminal conspiracies at the highest levels.

The arrest of Governor Rod Blagojevich is just the tip of a giant iceberg. I would expect to see the rats in Cook County biting each other as they get into survival mode to avoid arrest, indictment and prison. The criminal lawyers will be making a killing over the next three years dealing with the fallout that is expected.

The biggest fish of all, Barack Obama is not immune from the sword of justice as others try to sell their information as a way to leverage their own fate in the courts.

The fallout will mean that criminal defense lawyers, defense investigators and forensic accountants will not be suffering during any recession in the Chicago area. They will have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

IL Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich, Aid Arrested For Corruption!



I can't wait to see the harvest of damaging documents and other evidence captured as a result of the search warrants they are serving today all over Chicago...

From the press release issued by The U. S. Attorney’s Office:

"CHICAGO Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff, John Harris, were arrested today by FBI agents on federal corruption charges alleging that they and others are engaging in ongoing criminal activity: conspiring to obtain personal financial benefits for Blagojevich by leveraging his sole authority to appoint a United States Senator; threatening to withhold substantial state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of Wrigley Field to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical of Blagojevich; and to obtain campaign contributions in exchange for official actions – both historically and now in a push before a new state ethics law takes effect January 1, 2009.

Blagojevich, 51, and Harris, 46, both of Chicago, were each charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. They were charged in a two-count criminal complaint that was sworn out on Sunday and unsealed today following their arrests, which occurred without incident, announced Patrick J. Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and Robert D. Grant, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Both men were expected to appear later today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nan Nolan in U.S. District Court in Chicago."

You thought our economy is a mess? You’re wrong!

Fred Thomson explains the whole enchilada!

My advice? Be smart; use your stimulus check from the government to buy guns and ammunition!

Another Non-violent Gun Owner Goes To Prison

Phoenix, AZ—62, year-old Prescott resident, Gerald James Brown is going to prison for two years. Why you ask? He had a simple semi-automatic shotgun and a silencer. Since he evaded the bogus $200.00 tax on each item taxpayers will house, feed him and take care of his medical needs in a federal prison.

His "crime" is no crime. He possessed arms. They tried to tax another right but our courts said taxing rights was unconstitutional. Remember Poll Taxes? How is this different?

What threat is this old fellow? Who did he kill, injure or threaten? Unconstitutional gun laws have just claimed another American.

Crimefile Was Invited To A Fabulous Holliday Party


Westwood, Los Angeles, CA—I’m a member of an exclusive club. Membership is earned by honorable service in the Armed Forces of The United States. Most of the dopes in our Congress view America’s military veterans as cramping their lifestyle. That as they’ve drastically cut benefits to the very people they count on to allow them to exist and hold office in a free country.

In LA as in other communities there are fine people that appreciate the contribution American made to military service. Whether they were drafted like I was or they who have enlisted the risk of life, limb and the loss of personal freedom that military service requires is a sacrifice.

To hold this event several hundred contributors and volunteers made a sacrifice of their own. These folks these are some finest, real Americans that make this country strong and free. No man would fight for his country without the love and support of neighbors, friends and family.

Every veteran including myself received love, gifts, a tasty holiday meal, and were entertained by the best L.A. has to offer.

For all of my fabulous hosts and entertainers let me say, THANK YOU!

Nevada Reverses Kidnapping Case And It Will Help O.J. Simpson

Las Vegas, NV—This Sunday morning O.J. Simpson faces what may be the rest of his life in a Nevada prison. Odds are that without divine intervention the 61 year-old may not live long enough to make parole. He must serve at least nine years and parole is far from guaranteed after serving that minimum portion of the 9 to 33 year sentence.

There is however a somewhat recent case that reversed a kidnapping conviction on a much more egregious case. This suggests that Simpson was over-charged and over-convicted for what should have been a simple armed robbery.

An appeal citing this November 2006 case, may well get Simpson a second chance at a much lighter sentence. Appeals move very slowly and Simpson will be sitting in prison for as long as a couple of years before the Nevada Supreme Court hears and decides his case. In case you were wondering Nevada has no Court of Appeals so his case goes directly to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Simpson’s co-defendant, Stewart will get the same benefit from the ruling. Rather then win new trials these convicts will be re-sentenced on the lesser charge.

Chicago Parking Meter Outrage Fix Is Simple

Chicago, IL—Chicago’s Mayor and Aldermen approved a plan to make Chicagoans even more miserable than they are as some of the most overtaxed citizens in the nation.

They are going to let private vendors handle the meters and soon to be increased fees. This hurts business, jobs and citizens alike. Chicago's rank and file cops hate this meter extortion too.

What’s the solution you ask? That’s just too simple, crazy glue, washers, and courage. Hammers and pipe cutter work wonders too. If the meters are destroyed they can’t be used to extort money from anyone. If the cost of meter repair exceeds the revenue they are gone. That’s pure and simple.

The only question I ask Americans is whether or not the participants in the Boston Tea Party would tolerate parking meter extortion by any government?

Don't snitch on meter vandals!

If you’re picked to sit on a jury for someone accused of parking meter vandalism simply acquit that defendant. Shake his or her hand after the trial and government may just get the message!
