A lot of people ask me why I love Germany. Here is the answer!

Aschaffenberg, Germany--it was December 1968 when after being drafted by the Army I wound up in this beautiful hamlet. I was just about 15 miles from Frankfurt and was blessed to be assigned there as a medical corpsman.

It was Christmas time and I was in a strange land far away from home. I decided that since I was a guest in this nation I'd act like one.

I was compelled to learn the customs, language and culture. I stayed far away from fellow soldiers if for no other reason I liked the elegant German babes better.

I soon found that the German people were incredibly kind to me. I made some wonderful new friends and got an education few Americans ever get.

The 18 months I spent in Germany was the very best time of my life. I traveled everywhere I could. The money exchange rate was four Marks to the Dollar then. It was truly an adventure!

If I made a mistake it was not staying there and finishing my education in a medical profession in Munich or Berlin.

I never forgot the kindness and love that the German people showed me when I was so young.

Over the last 25 years I worked on the Debra Milke Death Penalty travesty in Arizona. I investigated not on her behalf but was hired by many media organizations to help them cover that nightmare.

It turned out that I discovered early that Milke was framed and told that to anyone who'd listen. It turned out I was correct once again.

The Milke case actually got me sent back to Europe three times. The last trip in December was indirectly because of my involvement with the case.

This video and narrative is a true depiction of this horrific and sad story. I commend Paul for his courage to post the TRUE facts of this case. After viewing and listening to this video post it makes me wonder how many people may be wrongfully imprisoned on the word of a homicide detective gone bad. More troubling is it took so long for the truth to come out and in the interim Ms. Milke was incarcerated and on dearth row for 25 years. She is now free thanks to Attorney Mike Kimerer and his team of Attorneys and staff. TItration 14 years, and FINALLY Justice prevailed. Again, kudos to Paul for reporting the truth.

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...
