“America’s Most Wanted” Investigation Shows

Justice May NOT Have Been Done.

(May 28, 2009), Washington, D.C. – For more than two decades, “America’s Most Wanted” has profiled fugitives and asked the public to help cops chase them down. But in a special episode this Saturday May 30th (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, AMW Host John Walsh will ask viewers to consider whether one man caught, tried and convicted of murder should NOT be behind bars. In a turnabout for a show that has helped thousands of people get justice, Walsh will investigate a case that raises the question of whether justice has truly been served.

When police found the body of a Missouri woman floating in a river, with a cement block tied around her waist, they immediately suspected the victim’s son, Dale Helmig. Investigators felt that Helmig knew too much about the crime. During his trial, prosecutors argued he killed his mother because she would no longer support him financially. A jury agreed, and he was sentenced to life in prison.

But now there’s evidence that Helmig may not have received a fair trial, and that the jury that convicted him may have been misled. In the special broadcast, John Walsh reconstructs the murder, the investigation and the trial, and asks whether the actual killer is still on the loose.

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 ...
