Straight Talk in a Crooked World
Although a friend emailed me at 1:49 P.M. today to let me know about the Powell murders, I was busy and just heard about these deaths on the 7:00 news. http://blog.thenewstribune.com/crime/2012/02/05/2-killed-in-graham-area-house-fire/ This is sick. Just sick. Two beautiful little boys who had already lost their mom died today in a fiery explosion in Graham, Washington– which authorities […]
Read More Murders That Demand JusticeFrom KOMO News (http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Barefoot-Bandit-emails-ridicule-law-enforcement–137990673.html): SEATTLE (AP) — “Barefoot Bandit” Colton Harris-Moore ridiculed police and prosecutors in emails and phone calls from prison recently, undercutting his claims that he’s sorry for his two-year crime spree, the U.S. attorney’s office said in court documents filed Tuesday. In these emails, KOMO says, Harris-Moore allegedly called police, prosecutors, and […]
Read More Surprise! (not)Reviews of last night’s Drew Peterson: Untouchable movie on Lifetime are mocking the script, chortling that Rob Lowe is too good-looking to pull off the slovenly, bloated Peterson, and rightfully noting that viewers couldn’t tell which characters exist in real life and which don’t. At least a few websites are saying you should watch it just […]
Read More Drew Peterson: UntouchableLast Saturday I read what may have been my first Ann Rule book. Perhaps I’ve been buried in academia for so long that I haven’t paused to read this talented local author despite the fact that she’s written about many cases I’ve studied. I found her style to be intuitive, compassionate, and probing. In the […]
Read More In the Still of the Nighthttp://documenttheabuse.com/index.html Today I was reminded that the Document the Abuse website is up and running. Domestic violence experts Susan Murphy Milano and Sandra L. Brown have created an invaluable resource for victims. This website details how to create an Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit and a questionnaire to help people determine if they’re in a potentially lethal […]
Read More Document the AbuseBarry Goldwater once said that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. As I sat down to type out my thoughts on Colton Harris-Moore’s sentencing today, that is the quote that comes to mind. I am not disappointed that a miscreant of this magnitude has been sentenced to seven years in prison and […]
Read More Seven YearsThere is new information available about the Jacob Franklin case. Franklin is a former Jackson County, Oregon Sheriff’s Office deputy who was fired from his job after arresting a friend of his superiors. My previous post on this topic is https://wildninja.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/vindication/. A court order has been signed prohibiting Jackson County from releasing the internal […]
Read More Franklin UpdateFor as many inconsistencies as there are about this event, the most important part of it is that a two year-old boy is missing and needs to be found. Two year-old Sky Metalwala has been missing since his mother allegedly left him alone in her car and went for gas yesterday in Bellevue, Washington. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/133378413.html#idc-cover
Read More Find SkyAt long last a former Oregon sheriff’s deputy has seen justice for the smear tactics that cost him his job and ability to work as a law enforcement officer. Whether he will ever see the monetary award is an unknown, especially if the sheriff’s office appeals, but at least, technically, he’s won. This article does not […]
Read More VindicationKOMO News has done an admirable job reporting on the questionable circumstances surrounding the “suicide” of former state trooper Ronda Reynolds. You may remember this story from a post on this site nearly 10 months ago, https://wildninja.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/its-about-time/. KOMO has now said that despite an inquest jury’s finding that Reynolds’ former husband and stepson be held […]
