Judgement...


On April 15, 2013, at 2:49 PM, with more than 5,600 runners still in the race, two pressure-cooker bombs–packed with shrapnel and other materials hidden in backpacks, were placed on the ground amidst crowds of marathon-watchers–exploded within seconds of each other near the finish line along Boylston Street.

The blasts instantly turned the sun-filled afternoon into a gruesome scene of destruction and chaos. Three spectators died: a 23-year-old woman, a 29-year-old woman and an 8-year-old boy, while more than 260 other people were wounded. Sixteen people lost legs; the youngest amputee was a 7-year-old girl.

On April 18, at around 10:30, Sean Collier, a 27-year-old police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was shot dead in his patrol car on the school’s Cambridge campus.  

They carjacked a Mercedes SUV at gunpoint, drove around with their hostage, forcing him to withdraw money from an ATM and discussing driving to New York City.

Police in the Watertown spotted the suspects in the stolen SUV. A gun battle broke out, exchanging fire with the police and hurling explosive devices at them. One officer was seriously injured.

Dzhokhar drove the stolen SUV straight at the police, running over his brother before speeding away

Awaiting the right judgment. Just a thought.

Gone Bananas??

Image is not related.

A federal judge ripped self-proclaimed “Banana King” Thomas Hoey Jr. as “a danger to the community” as he sentenced him to an additional 12 years  behind bars for his role in the 2009 death of Kimberly Calo, who overdosed on cocaine that Hoey supplied during a three-way sex romp.

“Thomas Hoey Jr. is a self-absorbed, self-pitying, selfish man who is a danger to the community,” “He preys on women …. The public needs to be protected from further crimes from his defendant.”

Members of Calo’s family weren’t buying the banana baron’s remorse. “he seems more sorry he got caught,” Calo’s brother, told the judge. “Every day this man is out he will continue this operation. Every day he is jail, he will not hurt another woman.”

Hoey also forced the other gal involved in the three-way hotel orgy, to lie to a grand jury about his role in the 41-year-old Calo’s death. She was convicted for lying to a grand jury, died of a coke overdose.

Hoey is currently serving 4 years in prison after being convicted of beating up current girlfriend Alison Bretherick in 2012

He was slapped with additional criminal charges for allegedly dipping into the pension fund at Long Island Banana Co. and using more than $800,000 of the cash to fund his lavish lifestyle.

Just a thought.

Health-care scheme


 Blood Sample

Federal investigators say a small blood lab in New Jersey paid doctors kickbacks to send blood work to the lab as part of a $200 million health-care fraud scheme.

"There was an excess of a dozen doctors who actively participated in the scheme like there was nothing wrong with it," according to Scott Lampert, special agent in charge at Health and Human ‎Services. "This was in excess of a $200 million health-care fraud scheme one of the largest that I've ever seen," Lampert said.
They knowingly ordered unnecessary blood tests.

The lab's top guy, according to investigators, was making so much cash that he dropped millions on items including vintage cars, fancy homes and more. 

An employee of Walmart, Mc Donald and others make $10/hour and support their families with minor support from the State just to keep their head above the water and here is Doctors, fortune enough to reach this level of social status and with income of hundred thousands of dollar /year, and still have the need to scam the Tax Payer.  What a Shame brought to the profession and their families.  

Just a thought.

Deport....


Going back: deporting foreign prisoners convicted of serious crimes after they have served their sentences has been government policy since 2006


24-year-old Algerian who moved to France in 2009, prosecutors said was already being watched because he had expressed interest in traveling to Syria, but intelligence had not yet found grounds to put him under strict surveillance. The man had been in contact with someone in Syria who directed him to attack a Paris church.
Authorities believe that the suspect was involved in the murder of a woman he had never met.  Police were able to connect her to the suspect using ballistics data.
The suspect directly contacted authorities because he needed an ambulance after allegedly shooting himself accidentally, officials said.
Medics and police found a trail of blood leading to his car. Inside the vehicle, investigators found guns, a bulletproof vest, a laptop computer, a USB key and notes on potential targets. A search of his apartment revealed more weapons and unspecified evidence linking him to religious extremism.
The suspect has been treated for his wounds in a nearby hospital but is not speaking with authorities, prosecutors said.
 
It's about time for certain people to lose their legal status to enter France.    
 
Just a thought.

Sarao....

Nanex chart showing trading during the Google flash crash

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Navinder Singh Sarao, 37, was arrested Tuesday in the U.K. and charged with multiple counts of fraud.

Prosecutors say Sarao used illegal trading techniques that contributed to an abrupt stock market crash on May 6, 2010, when the Dow Jones industrial average fell 600 points in a matter of minutes before bouncing back.
The episode raised concerns about the underlying structure of the stock market and highlighted the dangers of so-called computer generated high-frequency trading.

According to the criminal complaint, Sarao flooded the market with multiple, large sell orders for futures contracts called E-Minis, which traders use to speculate on the direction of the S&P 500 index.

This created the appearance of heavy supply in the market and drove prices down. Sarao allegedly canceled most of the orders before they were executed.

He profited when the market fell and also when it rebounded by buying and selling futures contracts. On the day of the Flash Crash, the complaint says Sarao made nearly $9 million trading E-Minis. From 2010 to 2014, he allegedly made about $40 million.

He didn't pay the bond.. so the scam continue and so is jail.

Just a thought.

Wrong hair...

Image result for Fbi agent false testimony on hair

The FBI is notifying hundreds of defendants in 46 states that their convictions involved flawed expert testimony. It now admits that nearly Every Examiner in an elite forensic unit overstated hair matches that favored prosecutors.

This is one of the country's largest-ever forensic scandals and includes dozens of death row convictions, reports CBS News correspondent Julianna Goldman.
Cleveland Wright spent 28 years behind bars serving time for a 1978 murder.  Wright was exonerated in 2014, but has not been compensated.

The Innocence Project and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers found from the 1970s through 1999, in 268 cases where FBI hair analysis led to a conviction, 257, or 96 percent, had errors in analysis.

Eighteen of those defendants were living on death row 12 had been executed.

"There's a certain aura about FBI agents. They are very sharp, and very trustworthy; it doesn't mean their experimentation was done properly," Kobilinsky said.
Errors do not mean there was no evidence of guilt, but defendants may have grounds for appeal.

Quack... OZ




In a letter to the college, the self-described "disgruntled" physicians wrote they are "surprised and dismayed" that Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons would maintain Oz's faculty appointment, "let alone a senior administrative position in the Department of Surgery."the letter states."  Worst of all, he has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain."                                                       

Oz came under scrutiny during a U.S. Senate hearing that examined false diet-product ads.  Sen. Claire McCaskill grilled Oz, citing moments when he used his TV show to peddle green coffee extract as a "magic weight loss cure," and raspberry ketone as "the number one miracle in a bottle to burn your fat.

"Since that hearing Oz has not altered his methods as a TV doctor pushing scientifically unproven products to his massive audience. "But when an erudite, well-respected and highly trained physician goes on television with a huge audience and does the same thing, he has a vast potential to do harm, presenting these useless and potentially toxic supplements and magical cures," Ross said in a phone interview.

I don't know how much of this he actually has a financial interest in but I would suspect it's quite a bit,"    Oz talks up certain foods, drinks, supplements or other products often with little science to support them.   

To stop the false advertisement, we must follow the money.  Just a thought.

Fake Mistress...?*

Two principles of California law...... , a spouse can't give away community property without the written consent of the other spouse. And anything a spouse earns while he is living "separate and apart from the other spouse" is the spouse's separate property, not community property, and he is free to do what he wants with it.

Break Up is Hard....

Shayna Hubers enters Campbell District Court on Oct. 25 for a preliminary hearing on a charge of murder in the shooting death of Ryan Poston of Highland Heights.


Ryan Poston was supposed to be on a date with a beauty pageant champion on the night that his on-again, off-again girlfriend fatally shot him.

Audrey Bolte, Miss Ohio 2012, said she planned on meeting the 29-year-old attorney for drinks and to play pool on October 12, 2012, but he never showed up.
That night, Poston was shot six times, allegedly by Shayna Hubers, according to prosecutors. Hubers, now 24, is accused of one count of murder.

Prosecutors allege that she shot Poston out of anger after he tried to break up with her. Hubers has pleaded not guilty, saying Poston was frequently violent, and that she shot him in self-defense.

In the days before he died, Poston had expressed uncertainty about his relationship with Hubers and struggled to tell her about his date, his step-father said.

Hubers’ cellmate testified that Hubers seemed almost “carefree” when discussing the shooting. She laughed “about shooting [Poston] in the face and giving him the nose job he always wanted”.
Breaking up is hard to do.         Just a thought.
