Judge Makes Public Urinators Apologize WTW

Judge Makes Public Urinators Apologize FOND DU LAC, Wis. - People caught urinating in public are being taken to the woodshed, figuratively at least, with court orders to write signed letters of apology that are published in the local newspaper. "I am so terribly sorry for urinating outside of a public place in your city," a Madison man wrote in a letter published this week. "It was not a very intelligent thing to do ... I know whoever reads this loves Fond du Lac and I dishonored your town and myself in the process." The fact that people still do this in public is about as WT as you can get. Thankfully it is still WEDNESDAY, so I get the chance to tell you about it. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY Bloggers And Rightly So!

A New Record

We may be coming close to having a new record on the number of women in court during the same month for sexually based crimes. I'm not sure just what is wrong with these women. But I am sure that Debra Lafave got off overwhelmingly lightly. These women are as bad as the men, and although some may not see it- they should be criminally handled the same way a man would be. "These women are psychologically not much older than their victims," says Gartner. "They're attracted to kids they can handle. They're 14, too." .... "They come from really weird, bizarre families where they don't get clarity about boundaries," she says. "They have issues relating to adult partners." She says female offenders, especially those molesting pre-pubescent kids, are more likely to have been sexually abused or otherwise traumatized as kids. Sounds like excuses to me. I don't buy into this whole difficulty relating to adults bull. This women are sick a

New details have started to come out as to why Kelsey was returned to the very home that she would later be murdered in. To save on loading it everytime, I've added it in a post summary. Please click below for link. Rest of the Story

Judge Angered over Convicted Sex Offender

SOURCE - An angry judge has ordered prosecutors to get a convicted sex offender back in court saying the man poses a threat to the community and could run. However frustrated prosecutors say they still can't even file formal charges in the case. Clayton Russell Pinney was not in court Tuesday to hear what the judge had to say about him. "I've got to have this guy back in court. He is a threat to society. He's a pedophile and is out there preying on our children and I need him in court," said Judge Smith told prosecutors Tuesday to issue a summons for Pinney to at least return to court for a status check on a pending felony charge of failing to register as a sex offender in Nevada. "We have to have our ducks in a row," said David Roger, Clark County District Attorney. The problem, according to Roger is that prosecutors don't have the required paperwork -- in this case a judgment of conviction -- from San Diego,where Pinney was convicted more than twen

WolfHawk's

The sex offender whose infant was taken due to his SO status, has been given visitation of the child by Judge Charles Miller. Isn't that nice. The mother has relocated to Maryland, where she is seeking to regain custody of her toddler who was also taken, and an 8 year old son- both of whom she lost custody of due to the perverts status. The child was born October 18 to WolfHawk's wife, Melissa, and placed in a foster home three days later. Child welfare officials said the baby would be unsafe because his father was convicted of rape and sodomy more than two decades ago in New York. WolfHawk denies committing the assaults, and says he pleaded guilty because his lawyer instructed him to do so. Melissa WolfHawk already has supervised visitation. She recently relocated to Maryland, where she is fighting to regain custody of the couple's 23-month-old daughter, who is in foster care there. That child, as well as her 8-year-old son, were removed because of DaiShin WolfHawk's s

David Rodriguez

Eighteen year old David Rodriguez, has some serious issues. First, his girlfriend left him. She might want to pat herself on the back for getting away from him when she did. I'd hope that she continues to stay far far away from him. CHICAGO - An 18-year-old Chicago man was arrested after allegedly kidnapping two young children to perform a demonic ritual intended to bring back his former girlfriend, authorities said. David Rodriguez was being held on $500,000 bond. Prosecutors said he and a 15-year-old companion snatched the children Friday outside a South Side library and planned to carve a pentagram in the girl’s chest. Full Story The brother of the young girl was released- because he wasn't needed in the twisted mind of this sicko. He then reported the kidnapping, and the deviant behind the crime was arrested at his home. The young girl was found unharmed. Categories: assault , kidnappings , abuse

Truth or Dare- Perverts Version

SAN ANTONIO -- A San Antonio man is accused of making his stepchildren play truth-or-dare sex games, according to police. The man was charged with four counts of indecency with a child after police said he dared seven children to expose themselves to him. Officer Joe Rios, a spokesman for the San Antonio Police Department, said the man started a game of truth or dare with two stepdaughters, two stepsons and three other unidentified children Sunday night at a Northside apartment complex. Rios said the stepchildren are all under the age of 16. Rios said a witness called police after seeing the children running around naked. "Apparently, he was daring them to do different things. He had one of the underage girls disrobe in front of him. At one point, he pulled her arms away, exposing her breasts and her private parts," said Rios. Rios said the man could face more charges because police believe there may have been more children involved. Personally, I always thought that a good p

Tears of.... well something

It's not that I am surprised, as it is I am annoyed. Just tell me why is it that the tears only come AFTER one gets caught ? My dad used to say it was because we where sorry, not so much for our actions- but because we where found out.

Joseph P. Smith

It took five hours for a jury to convict Joseph P. Smith of the rape and murder of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia. It only took seconds to watch the video of him leading her out of sight of the camera's view. Today his attorney will begin an attempt to convince the jury that this father of two deserves to live, rather than to receive the death sentence. "The jury knows about the crime. Now I want you to find out some things about the person," Tebrugge said in his office just before Thanksgiving. "It's the concept of redemption. That the person has redeeming qualities that should be considered even in light of a horrific crime.".... While Tebrugge has not revealed the specific nature of his mitigation strategy, Smith's past drug use will play a large role in his quest to show that Smith is not a cold-blooded killer, but a disturbed individual under the influence of a substance that ruled over him for years. Full Story Drugs. Yes, why not blame this one drugs?

Librarys And Sex Offenders

Does a convicted sex offender belong in a library as an employee? There's debate on the issue stemming from a woman being employed at the East Bonner County Library in Sandpoint Idaho. In January 2004, Kristine Lutes -- and her husband, Richard Brandon Lutes -- pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a Bonner County girl when she was 14 years old. The couple -- who were engaged to be married -- initially faced as many as 41 felony sex counts, including rape and lewd conduct, when they were charged in the summer of 2002.Charging papers alleged they had sexual contact with the teen between November 1999 and April 2000 when the girl was 14 and 15 years old. A second lewd conduct charge against Lutes -- who was then Kristine Patricia Lund -- was filed because she allegedly assisted and encouraged her fiance to commit lewd acts on the girl.The teenager told authorities she engaged in group sex with the couple on at least two occasions. Methamphetamine and pornographic movies were apparently

More On Couey

I'm not sure how I missed this the other day, perhaps the thought that John Couey wanted a plea deal was at the time sickening enough to me that I didn't want to take in anymore info on him than need be at the time. Thankfully, I came across this plea deal topic again tonight and was able to find this: Unfortunately, due to some bungled police work, thanks to Sheriff Dawsy's office, as you mentioned before, the confession could be thrown out. Then Brad King is going to be put in the unenviable position of relying on the testimony of the occupants of the trailer to convict John Couey. I can not for the life of me understand how exactly this confession could be thrown out. I can imagine that the police have bungled (as they call it) some things , after all, not one person watching the news coverage could believe that the whole time the police where searching, Jessica was right there. One would think that after screwing up that badly- the police would have been extra cautious

On a side note...

I've mentioned before my personal blogroll over there to the far right. It has the company of being with the True Crime Blogroll, Stop the ACLU Blogroll, and White Trash Wednesday Blogroll. It the only one I can say I honestly read the members of daily. I've added a two new ones over the last week, one is Camp Katrina Blog , and one is Mudville Gazette . There should be a couple more added- but I haven't got to it yet. For anyone looking for new blogs to ponder over- I highly recommend any on the roll. Oh, yes I had a whole other point to this. While awaiting Mr. Huff over at Darkside of Planet Huff to get around to publishing his first book (come on already Steve!)- I'll have a bit of 'lighter' reading to do as PostSecret is releasing what would be his second book in a few days. I'm waiting on my copy- and when I get it, I'll share my thoughts.

Couey Seeks Plea Deal

Deal sought in killing Let's back up for a moment. The government has this man, has evidence of his guilt, and come on has him dead by rights. No jury would let him walk with such overwhelming evidence. I'll recap a bit of it for you. Confession The child's body bury in his yard Fingerprints of the child in his room DETAILED CONFESSION That's about all it takes for me, but you can feel free to add his prior convictions on there, or the fact that HE even stated during one conviction that he would do it again, and possibly kill someone. And he wants a plea. Well guess what? I'd really like to know that in the morning a little girl is going to wake up in her bed, in her house. I would like to have assurance that we could turn back time and have locked him up for life the first time. But, we all know I can't get what I want. I can't make all these sick monsters disappear, and I can't make someone reverse time to protect all the children in the

Military Sexual assault Database

The Army is planning to create a database to track sexual assaults reported from military personal . While I can understand that there is a real need to be able to track and investigate these crimes- I have issue with a few of the finer points in this "plan". First being the requirement that victims personal information be obtained and included in the records. Understanding that civilians who are assaulted have enough of a hard time reporting it, under the confidence that their personal information is not tracked- I can not understand how the Army would validate the need to add more resistance to reporting these crimes on women who have some of the most difficult times reporting their assaults. Privacy is an extremely important issue, and I do not believe that forgoing that privacy in order for the Army to "track" your assault better should be necessary. The second issue is even more disturbing. Where the Army plans to require all personal information from victims

Thanksgiving

There are many things that I am thankful for. And given the special day that is before us, I thought I would share them. I am thankful for my husband, who has been a pillar of strength in my life and who has supported me through everything. I am thankful for my children, they have enriched my life and brought me more joy than any person could ever want. I am thankful for my mom, I may not have been born to her, and I know she is only mine because I married her son- but she provides a wonderful friendship to me, and has always willingly excepted me as part of her family. I am thankful for being an American, and having the freedoms I do. I am thankful to the soldiers who humbly preserve those freedoms through their service to out country.

Ludwig Gave Detailed Account of Parent Killings

David Ludwig has been spilling details of the murder of the Border parents to police. According to reports , he dropped Kara off at 5:30 am, and awaited a message from her that she had made it to her room. The message he recieved however was that she had been caught by her parents and they wanted to speak with him. Police say that Ludwig then grabbed a pistol and other weapons and headed for the Borden home.

Woman Moves to Ohio

I've always favored growth in population. However this wasn't really what I had in mind when I thought about it. A 38-year-old mother of two from Washington state was arrested on charges that she had sex with a 14-year-old boy from northeast Ohio. Massillon police said they handcuffed Julie Welborn at a local motel on Monday, with her 13-year-old and 15-year-old children present. They also found a moving van filled with belongings and say Welborn was in the process of moving near the victim's school. Full Story I'm continuously bothered by the apparent lack of decency and morals used by these women who prey upon young boys. They are no different than the monsters who happen to be men that prey upon children. Categories: women , predators

Cesar Ascarrunz

The man who brutally murdered his long time girlfriend and then left her four year old daughter abandoned on a street- has been indicted. Cesar Ascarrunz, who is believed to have killed 26 year old Bolivian native Monica Lozada faces multiple charges, seven counts in all, two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of evidence-tampering and counts of child endangering and abandonment related to his leaving Valery on the road side after killing her mother. He faces 25 years to life on the murder charges and seven on the charges related to Valery, four years on the tampering charges. The little girl who captured us all by her description of her mother when social workers where attempting to find out who she was after she was found, has been living with relatives.

Bad Judge Of the Day

The last few days have been relatively good days for sex offenders and child rapist. There are plea deals in the works , and light sentencing - the sicko's must be preparing for a party somewhere right about now. But, I believe I have found the one that just tops the cake. It all started with a TEACHER, yeah, another one of those, who decided to have sex with a minor. Oh, wait a couple minors. Well- I might as well get it right- two 17-year-old students and a 16-year-old student. Of course there where no charges for the two older boys, but someone did something right by bringing charges up for the younger one. Sandra Beth Geisel must have been handing out IOU's in the judges chamber because, while he accepted her plea, he added this bit of twisted "wisdom"- "The 16-year-old in this case is a victim in the statutory sense only," Albany County Judge Stephen Herrick told Sandra Beth Geisel. "He was certainly not victimized by you in any other sense of the

"I am the Grandmother of Kelsey Briggs"

I wanted to share this with all of you, because it is something everyone needs to read. The link will take you to the speech given by Kathie Briggs, Kelsey's grandmother. It's the heartbreaking tale of how Kelsey was overlooked by DHS, how the families concerns went unheard, and how a child was allowed to be murdered. Speech Given by Kathie Briggs: "I am the Grandmother of Kelsey Briggs" After nine months of documented abuse we lost our precious Kelsey at the age of two years, nine months, and thirteen days. Her cause of death was blunt force trauma to the abdomen. Her stepfather, Michael Porter, sits in the Lincoln County jail on the charge of first-degree murder. Kelsey' s death could have and should have been prevented. When my son was called to active duty, he left behind a happy, healthy little girl. She was living with her mother and while he was gone we had received his visitation. The abuse began in January with a broken clavicle, twenty-nine bruises and

James Effler, Library Rapist

A while back I brought you the gruesome news of a sex offender in Des Moines, who grabbed a toddler at a the library and took her into the bathroom in order to rape her. Thankfully, employees at the library where not only able to find this scum, they retrieved the little girl and held the sick monster captive in the restroom until police could arrive. Well seems this perv has pleaded- NOT GUILTY . Des Moines, November 21st, 2005- This morning, the man accused of assaulting a toddler at the Des Moines Public Library was in Polk County court to enter his plea. James Effler pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping and assault. Police say Effler assaulted a 20-month-old girl after she walked away from her babysitter at the library last month. Effler is a registered sex offender. He is listed on Iowa's Sex Offender Registry for assaulting a woman in Texas back in 2002. AND- New details on the story are giving fuel to those that want internet filters to block access to pornography sit

Congrats Missouri

Happy to share the news that Missouri has been added to the National Sex Offender Registry database. In addition to Missouri, the registries now available through the Web site, www.nsopr.gov , include:Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Now if the rest of the states could just get on board....

Raye Dawn Porter

I'm going to admit, the whole journalist "fair and balanced" idea never really caught on with me. I completely understand that there are TWO, or more sides to every story. I'm always going to jump on the side of the victim. And sometimes- such as the case is now- I am going to be jumping on the victims side, followed by a lot of anger induced writing. Raye Dawn Ported, the mother of a murdered little girl, the woman who either chose to stand by as her child was abused fro nine months, or did at least some of the abusing- one can never say for sure- is going to have another baby . After all, she did so well with the last one. Yes, that's a bit of my anger shining through. According to court records, Raye Dawn Porter is requesting half of their marital assets, attorney fees and financial support for their unborn child. She is about four months pregnant, her attorney, Steve Huddleston, said. "I am not associating this child with the father," Raye Dawn Porte

Kara Borden, David Ludwig

There's one quote which tells us that "They were good kids and they were brought up very well. What I see is, they just made some bad choices," It's such an innocent sounding statement. As if these two had been simply been caught kissing under the old oak tree. But the more that comes out about Ludwig, the more deceptive he appears to be. Reports of a videoed plan to discussing shooting and killing a family inside a home during a chilling 18-minute film. A treatening comment of having to shoot someone if they discovered the illegal relationship between the young girl and the 18 year old man is also heard on the tape. The two then arrived at an “unknown private residence” and talked in quiet voices about their plan to climb onto a roof and enter the home through a dormer window. They also talked about “using their weapons to shoot and kill family members inside of the residence.” After passing traffic “exposed the two and foiled their plan,” the affidavit said the two

Child Reported Missing Thought To Be Dead

A six year old girl reported missing this week by her father, may not be missing at all. In fact police believe that she was killed by someone sometime in the last year and a half. SOMETIME? IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF? Neighbors are reporting that they have not seen the child anytime since she was 4 and a half, while the other children at the home have been spotted regularly. I'm coping and pasting the story, and ending my commentary- because to be honest, I've about had it with people lately. Parents, they are suppose to nurture and protect their children. Aaron Thompson reported his daughter Aarone missing on Monday, but police accused him of lying and said she may have been killed more than a year ago. The search for the missing girl was called off late Wednesday and became a homicide investigation after a tip that someone had killed Aarone at her home, interim Police Chief Terry Jones said. Aarone should be celebrating her seventh birthday in a couple of weeks, but she was

Bloggers

There are few times when I find myself at a loss for words. This is really one of those times. At this time last night I made a request of people that in truth- are perfect strangers to me. The response to that request has been very kind. In fact, there has been response from some I didn't ask the favor of. Because of them, the plea for justice by bloggers and their readers in the case of Kelsey Briggs is being not only heard, but acknowledged. Click the image below to see the news report on these great bloggers. I'd very much like to thank every single one of the following bloggers for sharing a story with their readers. And for being kind enough to respond to my requests: Voiceless Victims Vince Aut Morire MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Stop the ACLU SSCA News Of Doom Randomized Drivel Beyond Frazzeled The Uncooperative Blogger Whatsakyer The Conservative UAW Guy Mudville Gazette.com Hy

Kelsey's DNS

Sometimes the irony in a situation is more than I can stand. This is truly one of those times. I want you to imagine that tomorrow morning the United States is going to be attacked, right here, in every city and town. Mass armed forces are marching down your streets. Fires have broken out, guns are being fired left and right. You can hear the fighter jets roaring over your heads. After a brief look around, you realize that not one American Soldier is there- or anywhere for that matter. No, it seems that they have all went on vacation. They have no plans to return. Not exactly the most comforting thought is it? The thing is, that would never happen. Our men and women of the military would never leave us undefended. They have more honor than that. And they should be able to expect just as much from us. A man went off to fight for his country. He made a huge sacrifice in order to protect and defend the rest of us. His repayment for his service? A group of people, the very group whose job

Ohio and Pink License Plates

It sounds rather fair to me, molest a child- get a pink license plate. Okay, what would really be fair is to LOCK THESE MONSTERS UP FOR LIFE. And I promise we can get to that in a minute. First Beyond Frazzled brings Ohioans news of cheer with the info that "State representatives have already held a hearing on a bill that would force sex offenders to put pink license plates on their cars." For more information head over here and read all about it. Now about locking them up forever... there's been a little talk going around about introducing much tougher laws here in Ohio. As I begin to track down the details- I'll post them for you.

Whine of The Day

"They've egged my house. They've thrown a beer can through my window -- busted my window out. I've been cussed out. I've been threatened by my neighbors," Eugene Bell said. In fairness, we should also state what he did. Bell has confessed to sexual abuse of a child in 1988. He served four years in prison. Seven years after his release, he was told to register as a sex offender. He said he did for a while, then he didn't -- and he had moved to a house that was fewer than 1,000 feet from a school. So he's breaking at least two laws here. Interesting. I do not condone the harassment of anyone. But, neither do I favor the deliberate breaking of laws by sex offenders. And really which is worse, egging a house or sexually abusing a child? Full Story

Sex Offend Kills Self

A Florida Amber alert issued for a missing teenager was ended when the sex offender she was with was spotted by another driver, and called police. The convicted sex offender the teen was reported with was found mortally wounded from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Full Story here

Man Convicted in Fla. Girl Rape, Slay

Man Convicted in Fla. Girl Rape, Slay - Yahoo! News SARASOTA, Fla. - A mechanic with a long criminal record was convicted Thursday of kidnapping, raping and strangling an 11-year-old girl whose abduction was captured by a car-wash security camera. Joseph Smith, 39, could get the death penalty. The jury took about five hours to find him guilty in the slaying of Carlie Brucia, whose half-naked body was found outside a church more than four days after the sixth-grader disappeared in February 2004 while walking home from a friend's house. Smith was arrested after being identified as the burly, tattooed man seen taking the girl away by the arm in a fuzzy video that was broadcast nationwide during the search for the killer. Prosecutors built their case on the footage, the testimony of Smith's friends and co-workers who said they recognized Smith in the video, DNA and hair-analysis evidence, and the word of the defendant's brother, who said Smith confessed. Smith, who did not take

Oh, The fake Fireman

Simply reading Steve 's and Tina's ongoing coverage of the fake fireman, demented playwright, and just plain lunatic Peter Braunstein, has me in suspense. I still stand by my first thoughts on this now infamous character. By most accounts this man was media hungry, and yet up until now his desired fame was continuously out of his grasp. We aren't talking about just one single area of his life either. Both his former relationships and the less than praised "plays" he put on- must have been disappointing to him to say the least. And now, here he is stuck somewhere in NY, with his ability to fly to his beloved Paris next to impossible. Halloween sex-attack suspect Peter Braunstein has been grounded by NYPD investigators, who slapped his name on an airport watch list so he can't flee the country. Continue Reading Gawker is reporting that there may have been a spotting of the would be fireman. And yet, with all this news, I would have to sit back and imagine that

Kelsey Smith Briggs

Some stories are harder to let go of than others. Almost everything I write about could have been prevented. How I go about picking one out of hundreds, sometimes it's difficult. Other times the story just captures me. And for reasons I can't explain, I can't seem to let it go. This is one of those stories. Every detail of it angers me. A soldier returning home to a murdered child. A two year old beaten to death. Child services that didn't protect. And a system that seems to be more flawed than I can imagine. Briggs died at two years and nine months, and the report analyzes the last nine months. It started Jan. 10 when a physician reported that bruises on the girl were not accidental and were the result of abuse. It continued on Jan. 17 when the Department of Human Services was contacted and was informed of bruises on the girl's face and body and abrasions on her bottom and neck. On Feb. 3, the report indicated that the mother admitted to spanking Kelsey on her diap

No, He Doesn't Get It

An internet predator who drove to a 16 year olds school in order to meet her, pick her up and have sex was sentenced Nov 15th. The sentence is unbelievable. Unacceptable. And extremely discouraging to those that would fight to protect our children. Circuit Judge Louis A. Becker sentenced Sinclair, whose real name is Arthur J. Lapenotiere, to 10 years in prison, with all but 70 days suspended, after he pleaded guilty to the charge of unnatural or perverted sexual practices.... ....Becker ordered the sentence to be divided between 15 days in jail - to be served during weekends - and 55 days of home detention. Sinclair, 60, of the 1000 block of Uniontown Road in Westminster, is scheduled begin serving his time Jan. 6. He does not have to register as a sexual offender, and after 70 days, he's home free. That must be nice for him. Did I mention that he is: Former Baltimore Blast soccer team announcer Art Sinclair. Perhaps the good ol' judge was a bit sport fan. There certainly can n

Modosto, At Sam's Place

I have a new post over at The Crazy Rants Of Samantha Burns . Part of that whole guest blogging I have been talking about a few times over the last few weeks. Today I bring her readers a completely made up true crime ripped from the headlines and then twisted into complete bull. It's about a giraffe if you must know. You can go here to read it, if you have any desire at all to see my sense of humor at work. Otherwise skip that post and head straight to her main page - she offers all sorts of funny.

Another Loss

In recent years my beloved little section of Ohio here has taken more than it's share of major hits when it comes to losing jobs. I could create a list containing thousands of much needed jobs that have been swept out the the area. I'm not sure if this fits in with fighting for Ohio or not. But I'll do my best to enlighten you on it. After years of being neatly tucked into a spot on Cable Road here in Lima, and years of faithful service by the men and women working there- another company, Milcor has been bought out, and now is currently being packed up to ship down to Mexico. My way of looking at it is this is the companies telling us that since they can't bring illegal workers here... they just send the jobs there. Because basically that is what they are doing. Choosing to lay off a mass amount of people who have worked there day in and day out for a fair wage, in order to hire a brand new breed of people willing to work day in and day out for peanuts. I'm happy to

Judge Says No

The parents accused of locking their kids in cages in southern Ohio have had their motion for the return of their children denied. NORWALK (AP) — A judge on Tuesday blocked the immediate return of 11 children to their adoptive parents, who have been accused of placing some of the children in enclosures that authorities say resemble cages. Michael and Sharen Gravelle filed a motion Nov. 4 with Judge Timothy Cardwell in the juvenile division of Huron County Common Pleas Court to get the children back. They say the handmade enclosures were for the children’s own safety. The children were removed from their custody in September and are in foster care. The motion included a sworn statement from an independent social worker who had worked with the Gravelles over the last five years. She said she knew about what she understood to be enclosures and approved of them. The judge also denied the couple’s request for expanded visitation rights with the children. A custody hearing is set

Judge Orders Sex Offenders Freed

I'm not clear about just what is going on over in NY, but I pretty sure that it's not good. Gov. George Pataki has been pushing to get a law passed through for years now that will allow civil confinement of sex offenders when their sentences end. I can not for the life of me understand just what the problem is with those that are fighting the law. Due to his lack of ability to get the law passed, he made the very bold effort to confine a dozen of these monsters anyway- under the state's involuntary commitment law. Of course the sickos couldn't deal with the fact that we don't really like the idea of them running around freely and sued. Lawyers for the sex criminals petitioned the court for their release, arguing that the state had violated the law that governs the transfer of apparently mentally ill prisoners to hospitals. The judge agreed. Read More The judge, State Supreme Court Justice Jacqueline Silbermann ordered the release of the twelve perverts pending exami

Just Cause He Shot Me...

Evidently, shooting someone and holding them hostage for six days while denying them medical care is equivalent to love in Southern Cali. Tina Marie Stebbins describes her shooter as "her soul" mate. It seems that while holding her captive- he was able to steal her heart too. They truly have a strong bond, because she has announced her intent to marry the man Christian Leroy Lindblad- who is currently serving a 20 year prison sentence for his actions. In her victim impact statement, Stebbins wrote, "I love Christian today as deeply as I loved him before this awful thing happened to us." Full Story I must be missing something here. I could swear she referred to it as something that happened to THEM. It didn't happen to THEM it happened to her- and HE did it. I really don't know about the rest of you women out there, but I get annoyed if my other half brings me the wrong type pop- I don't think he'd ever make it as "my soul mate" if he ever s
