Like nearly all criminal defendants that choose to represent themselves as a lawyer, Anthony Pellicano proved he was not up to the task. A jury just returned 76 out of 77 Guilty Verdicts. I have not attempted a time computation but suspect that the 64 year-old Pellicano won’t see freedom unless he lives a very long time. Pellicano was a professional eavesdropper not an investigator. Pellicano could only exist because people involved in litigation would do anything to uncover the lies and expose motives of liars and extortionists. A wire-tap is absolutely useless unless it can uncover lies people freely tell even while under oath. What’s the bigger crime, the lies or the wiretaps? We live in an ugly world. I suspect many of his culpable clients are safe because of the expiration of the Statute of Limitations. Of course there are volumes of encrypted telephone calls and other computer files that the feds were never able to crack. Pellicano still holds the only key to Telesluth. Pellic...

Before the GOP was firm in their stand on taxes, over-regulation, crime, rewarding productive Americans, and keeping government small. Not anymore. Today Republican leadership has allowed and encouraged Mexico to export poverty, drugs and crime here with their actions on legislation and enforcement. They have gleefully joined in the over-regulation and over-spending ways of extremist Liberals. Leftist politicians like John McCain have sought refuge in the party where voters assume the party’s platform is followed by those accepting the party label. New York has always led the way with the most Leftist politicians pretending t0 be Republicans. The candidates offered up as presidential candidates were as bad as it gets. Ron Paul offered some hope but his age and lack of name recognition did him in early. We have qualified Republicans in Congress like Arizona’s John Shadegg . Shadegg has a stellar reputation for honesty, electability and real charisma. The present Republican leaders...

Chicago--Daley appointed an overpaid law enforcement bureaucrat that will never enjoy success under the corrupt anti-police city administration. The meeting was attended by 100 to 200 officers. Second City Cop readers and another fine blogger, Rue St Michael Bienvenue recorded the minutes for posterity. J-Fed had nothing concrete to offer the undermanned, poorly equipped and demoralized officers. There were a few gripes put forth that J-Fed is taking under advisement. Little was settled but J-Fed is figuring out he has no clue about the street police work he’s supposed to be running. O.W. Wilson came in as a civilian but he was once a street cop before he became a criminologist and professor. J-Fed was a federal paper pusher. J-Fed would do well to lose the uniform and gain respect. He needs to figure out how to get the worthless mayor and city council to bring the department into the 21st Century. J-Fed needs to deal with manpower, equipment deficiencies. Nobody can be expect...

I love going to India for work or play. You never get the feel of the country simply seeing their famous landmarks. I have 12 hours of video and thought my visitors might experience going for a short drive listening to Kenny G. The driving skills of local drivers meet or exceed Nascar standards. The only problem I ever had is my disagreement with Indian food. Don’t worry many American chain restaurants like TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, Pizza Hut and many others can be found everywhere sans beef of course. Three months eating only chicken or fish will do us all some good. You never see many fat Indians do you?

Plymouth, MI—Despite being subjected to a long and horrid trip in chains from San Diego to Plymouth on a prisoner bus this Soccer Mom can still muster a smile. Susan Lefevre now known as Marie Walsh is seen in her latest prison mug shot. I don’t know too many women Walsh's age that can tolerate being photographed without having their hair done and without make up. Walsh is preparing to make her case that she has been punished enough for that youthful drug commerce indiscretion as a teen 33 years ago in Saginaw, Michigan. Walsh’s original sentence of 10 t0 20 years was off the charts of harshness for similar first time drug felons. So far hundreds of citizens have called Governor Granholm and or signed petitions for Walsh’s speedy release. Walsh’s husband and three children are struggling with this family disaster as best they can. Right now Walsh is getting acquainted with her lawyers as they map out plans to prove Walsh has never re-offended in the 32 years she’s been a fugitiv...

“Look! You fools! You’re in danger! Can’t you see? They’re after you! They’re after all of us! Our wives…our children…they’re here already! You’re next!”— Dr. Miles Bennell I lifted line delivered by that wonderful actor, Kevin McCarthy from the great 1950’s film, Invasion of The Body Snatchers as a desperate warning of where we are headed. I don’t know about my fellow Americans, but the day they try this crap here is the Day I take up arms against my own government. You have to read this assault on Liberty and Freedom to believe it.

Ever since Edward R. Murrow hit the scene, TV news executives have not dared change their proven pattern of boring news presentation. That pattern survived through nearly 50 years as a time honored proven winner. A proven winner only if you have a captive audience with no real TV news alternatives. Before the last decade or so we had only three TV channels all doing news on a Monkey See, Monkey Do format. With the cable explosion and now the Internet steadily drawing once loyal viewers away, the old ways need to change in a hurry. If I was a general manager or news director with creative authority I would do it all so differently. Gone would be the trusted unchanging anchors. Instead reporters would assume those duties on a rotating basis from the newsroom instead of those sterile news sets. Messy reporter and producer’s desks are far more visual and interesting. The attention span of today’s rapid-fire remote control viewers can’t tolerate the predictable old format anymore. I suspec...

The federal government has demanded that states allow and pay for programs that invite people to submit themselves for anonymous rape tests. Potential evidence would be sealed while the "victims" makes up their mind whether to accuse someone of rape. Rape allegations are only a 911 call away. We can all remember that most famous rape victim poster children, Tawana Brawley and the whore the Duke LaCrosse players paid to strip at a party. False allegations are made every day and thousands have gone to prisons for rapes that never occurred or after consensual sex. I see this anonymous program inviting all manner of extortion games after a consensual sex acts. A false allegation will nearly always cause a criminal felony trial and a jury will decide just who they want to believe. I don’t want to dismiss or discount the reality that real rapes happen along with an emotional nightmare for the victims. But encouraging people to wait rather than report crimes invites all manner ...

Los Angeles --According to what one LAX Police official told the L.A. Times the vast majority of them are off duty cops and such. Cops carry guns everyday of their lives and don’t dwell on that fact. They are comfortable in knowing they are supposed to do so. Cops are absent minded too. An example is when a cop is getting on a plane to attend the funeral of a family member or dear friend. Grief and devastating news can consume any normal person who is allowed by law to carry weapons. Remembering that the gun in a bag you drive around with by automobile every day is suddenly contraband on the airplane escapes many. The same goes for retired cops, security people such as bodyguards and private eyes. The sad news is that many of our law enforcement officers caught up in the TSA dragnet have their careers and in some cases lives shattered by these monumental and embarrassing events. For safety of all passengers it’s better that trained, vetted cops and retired cops carry their firea...

Los Angeles --It seems that Dennis Farina forgot he had a little .22 pistol in his briefcase as he went through an airport checkpoint at LAX this morning. The TSA weenies saved us from yet another hijacking! Farina honorably served as a Chicago cop spending most of his career as an Area Six burglary detective until he and and a former robbery sergeant, Chuck Adamson were discovered by legendary film director and Chicago native Michael Mann . Soon Farina took his leave of absence and early retirement to portray a cop in scores of projects on the small and large screen. Farina has returned for many funerals of fellow officers and never missed a chance to help one of his own. The TSA called LAX Police who booked Farina at the LAPD Pacific Division on a felony charge. Farina’s gun was allegedly not registered in California. California gives their residents a 60 day grace period in which to register firearms imported from other states. Farina told police he had recently brought the gun in...

Aside from more major newspaper editorial support for Marie Walsh’s freedom, she arrived somewhat early from her 2000 mile prison bus trip last night. Walsh will be held in a quarantine setting for a while as she is processed into the general population at the Robert Scott Correctional Facility in Plymouth, Michigan. Soon Walsh will have an approved list of people she can call by telephone assuming she has money in her personal prison account. It takes time for the bureaucracy to handle these things. All of Walsh’s visitors including family members will have to undergo background investigations by prison officials before any visits can take place. My hopes are that a defense lawyer can get the original Saginaw County Court to accept a motion for re-sentencing. Should the court take jurisdiction they may well set bail and release her pending a pre-sentence investigation and further court appearances. Walsh’s former prosecutor publically said if he was the prosecutor today he’d join in...

It’s actually very simple; Blacks and Hispanics live in these cities. It’s really about the culture embraced by these minority groups and not the color of their skin. The apologists can talk all they want about the root causes being poverty, ignorance and despair. Murder epidemics are just not present where these same issues plague White Americans. I’m not suggesting that White people don’t murder or commit other violence; they just do it far less frequently. Here is something that proves my point. Take your own Meghan’s Law sex offender web sites in large cities and examine them. Search for offenders by zip code and you will find very few offenders in predominately White zip codes. Do the same for sex offenders in the Black or Hispanic zip codes and see frightening numbers of rapists and child molesters. In our large cities the jails are as high as 90% minority occupied. You can argue poor people have no money to post for bail but it’s also true for non-bondable offenses like murder...

The larger than life O.J. Simpson was made for all manner of journalists. Sex, murder, rumors, lawyers, profiteers and Fred Goldman follow Simpson wherever he goes. We can only speculate who murdered Nicolle Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The public made their guess and jury verdicts notwithstanding, Simpson is standing alone as the killer. The ongoing Las Vegas Palace Station robbery case is nothing but garbage. This sordid mess is not worthy of the tax dollars it will burn trying to sort out which group of thieves, thugs and liars robbed the other. Another fortune will be made by writers and pundits who cover the saga. Simpson has made many careers and millions of dollars for so many writers and television personalities already. They include disgraced, former LAPD Detective and convicted felon, Mark Fuhrman. Now comes yet another profiteer who is putting a new book up for sale, "How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regr...

This extraordinary case needs to run through the Michigan Parole Board and Governor’s commutation program at a record speed. I hope that the parole board sees things the way I do and so many kind people that have stepped in to help Marie Walsh. Read today’s editorial here.

Los Angeles —KNBC-TV veteran anchor Paul Moyer told viewers about newly released information on a July 4, 2002 terrorist attack at The LAX, El Al Airline ticket counter by a suicide gunman who unleashed a bloodbath. I strongly recommend that citizens with adequate training ignore politician’s gun bans because as this story demonstrates self-help is all you have to survive the unthinkable. Carry your guns so you and others may live through events like the one Moyer reports. Read Moyer’s report and watch the compelling video here .

Susan Lefevre is on a prisoner bus traveling to a state that felt she needed 10 to 20 years imprisonment to turn her into a productive and law-abiding citizen. Michigan was dead wrong as today the stellar wife and mother, now know as Marie Walsh has become today serves as solid evidence of their misjudgment. I’m asking along with the hundreds of the fugitive’s friends and supporters for Governor Jennifer Granholm to use her commutation power in an unprecedented way in this unparalleled case. Governor has sole commutation power to set Lefevre free under Article 5 & 14 of the Michigan Constitution. That’s despite a bureaucracy that was set up to include all ten politically appointed members of the Michigan Parole Board. Usually parole boards are expected to be clairvoyant and predict which offenders are worth the risk of parole or commutation. They investigate and take a long hard look at each case before them and they nearly always vote on the side of caution against disturbing sen...

Throwing good money after bad to prop up her doomed campaign is fun to watch as long as it’s her money and not tax dollars. The real truth is but for Rush Limbaugh’s "Chaos" campaign Clinton would have run out of gas long before now. Aside from Clinton’s horrible history of deception and corruption I believe this woman is an un-American subversive. Clinton is bad for America. Mrs. Clinton would rather watch the Democratic Party crash and burn before she’d do what’s right and withdraw. Will Clinton play an extortion game on Obama? I expect Clinton will vow to haunt Obama by staying in the race until he agrees to let her be the Vice President candidate. Obama has risen out of Chicago’s Burke/Daley corruption cesspool and shows promise to run the entire nation like the dying crime-ridden metropolis. Obama may claim he’s not an un-American racist like his 20 year spiritual advisor but we all know that if you lay down with dogs you will wake up with fleas. When Obama was not...

Susan Lefevre now known as Marie Walsh has just begun a lengthy bus trip from San Diego, California to Plymouth Michigan where she escaped over three decades ago. Michigan contracts with a private prisoner transportation vendor that provides this service as authorized under a specific federal law. The bus will be visiting jails and prisons everywhere along the way where they will load and unload their high risk passengers. I suspect that this trip is the most miserable way to travel and may take as long as two weeks. Walsh will be wearing chains on her wrists and ankles during every moment she is in the bus. For Marie Walsh this may be the loneliest and most frightening trip she’s ever taken in her life. The good news for the Walsh family is that the legal machinery will begin considering requests for a sentence reduction or commutation as that bus arrives. When Marie Walsh steps off that bus she can hold her head up high and smile because the last three decades brought her a fine fami...

I did not expect American Blacks to vote for any candidates of a different skin color in a million years. Obama’s pastor did a really fine job of dividing the races. I see the usual Black precincts of Lake County Indiana are last to be counted. Of course I’m convinced they’re busy as usual stuffing those ballot boxes for their favorite color of candidate. Hillary vowed to work herself to death helping Obama should he become the party’s standard bearer. We can only hope Clinton was telling the truth! Really I’m hoping that that these contenders hate each other enough not be on the same slate ever. Now I’d like to help the Democrats and suggest that the Democratic VP choice be Al Sharpton! The Democratic Primary race is somewhat like watching the infamous and extreme Bumfights video of several years ago. As for November it will be just another lackluster General Election between politicians uniquely unfit and unqualified to run this country.
