Fred Cooper, Andrews Murder Suspect


Fred Cooper, the man accused in the horrid murders of Michelle and Steven Andrews, will facing Anthony Kunasek, assistant chief of the State Attorney's Office's felony division when he gets his day in court.
Kunasek has been appointed to lead the case against Cooper, who was denied bail and currently is awaiting trial in the Lee County Jail. Cooper has not yet been formally charged with the crimes.

Anthony Kusasek doesn't seem to be new to handling high profile crimes, he's been handling the shocking case of Justin Grodin, the Lee County man accused of the 2000 murder of his 11 month old daughter. Kusasek is also currently prosecuting Mario Alberto Lopez, the Cape Coral teenager accused of stabbing his friend to death over a video game in 2002.

As for Cooper, reports are that he may have a bit of a wait ahead of him before charges are even filed.
Cooper remains in the Lee County Jail without bond. His arraignment is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Feb. 13. But, since the State Attorney's Office could file first-degree murder charges, a grand jury indictment is required. The case has not yet gone to the grand jury, members of which were called in Friday to begin their six-month term.
Cooper's case may not go before the grand jury for three or four weeks, State Attorney's Office spokeswoman Chere Avery has said. Grand jury proceedings are conducted in secret, with only an indictment released publicly.
Investigators were not releasing any new details about the double homicide Friday, Sheriff's Deputy Angelo Vaughn said, including the causes of death and times of death. However, the 911 tape is being enhanced. But with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday, Vaughn said it is uncertain when that work will be completed. SOURCE

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
