Daily Commentary - Thursday, November 19th, 2009 - Sympathy for Bad Behavior

• Dana reads and responds to a comment from a listener, Texas Grandfather, about youth crime and judges sympathy for bad behavior. How should we treat juvenile offenders? How should we treat repeat offenders? The problem with the system today is sympathy for bad behavior, over and over again. There are no consequences and sympathy for bad behavior. Add them both up and we have a problem.

15yr old Alyssa Bustamante Indicted for 1st Degree Murder of 9yr old Elizabeth Olten

After weeks of rumors and speculation, the name and face of the person who murdered 9 yr old Elizabeth Olten in cold blood is announced to the world.

Alyssa Bustamante: portrait of a troubled teen

Alyssa Bustamante will stand trial as an adult for the murder of Elizabeth Olten. Court documents said that Bustamante allegedly strangled, stabbed and cut Olten’s throat on Oct. 21 — the day Elizabeth went missing. She also is charged with armed criminal action for using a knife in the attack.

It was probably the crime blogs worst kept secret as it had been speculated from the minute that Elizabeth Olten’s body was found and that an unnamed 15 year old was charged with the crime.  Alyssa Bustamante’s name came on the radar as an obvious suspect in the crime of first missing, then murdered Elizabeth Olten. No one wanted to publically say any thing as she was a minor.

TROUBLED TEEN

But there is also a troubled side to this teen.

Her You Tube page lists her hobbies as “killing people and cutting.”

In fact, juvenile court says they have had to trim her fingernails because she was using them to cut-up her arms.

She also tried to commit suicide in September 2007 and was hospitalized. Alyssa then received intense, sometimes daily therapy since that incident.

She has also been taking Prozac to combat her depression.

Alyssa’s Twitter page shows what some call “dark” postings, talking about bad decisions and be buried.

Juvenile court officials said during Wednesday’s hearing that Alyssa went through a short gothic phase, dressing in all black clothes, last year while attending Simonsen Ninth Grade Center.

Casey Anthony Defense Attorneys Want Murder Charges Dropped in Death of Caylee Anthony … Dismiss Case, What is the Defense Afraid Of?

The problem is at the end of the day the Casey Anthony defense team cannot answer the most simple question … why didn’t Casey Anthony report her daughter missing for a month?

File this one under desperate acts from a desperate defense team. The Casey Anthony defense attorneys want murder charges against tot mom Casey Anthony dropped. I am sure that they also want their client let of of jail with no bail and the case to be dropped all together which is also not going to occur.

Of course an attorney is supposed to provide their client with a vigorous defense. However, no where does it state in the legal cannons that it is supposed to be an “Alice in Wonderland” defense.

As Blink on Crime is quoted as saying:

Within the response to Kenney Baden’s discovery request from the FBI, this statement appears:

THE FBI DID NOT RECEIVE LATENT LIFTS IN THIS CASE

It does not say “latent impressions”, which in the forensic “speak” means all friction ridge detail images.

Seriously? With a woman’s very life hanging in the balance we are expected to believe such a panel does not know the difference between a latent lift and a friction ridge image in 2009?

The defense claims that the state cannot prove first degree murder. What is the defense team going to say, that they evidence shows that their client is guilty? With such a high profile murder case that has been in the media of course the defense is going to throw everything up against the wall.

Anthony’s attorneys said prosecutors can’t prove first-degree murder was committed or that Anthony ever abused her daughter, Caylee.

“Specifically, the state cannot establish whether Caylee Anthony’s death was accidental, natural, or the result of an intentional or negligent homicide,” they said.

The Casey Anthony defense team did the typical media blitz on CBS’s The Early Show,  NBC’s “Today” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” claiming that charges should be dropped and the case dismissed. Dismissed? I thought they said their client was innocent. Isn’t this why we have trials, to get the whether someone was guilty or not guilty by a jury of your peers?

Mistake, Big Mistake … ACORN Sues James O’Keefe, Hannah Giles & Andrew Breitbart for Secretly Taping in Maryland

How could anyone be so ignorant as to fall for this trap? I guess if ACORN could be brought down by two young filmmakers, James O’Keefe, Hannah Giles, dressed in bad stereo-typical pimp and prostitute outfits, ACORN is willing to fall for anything.

ACORN looks to sue those that exposed their corrupt and illegal fraud. Have they people never heard of civil case discovery? So you really want to go down this path ACORN? O’Keefe, Giles and Breitbart think they uncovered scandals, wait until discovery occurs … Let the games begin.

BRING IT ON!!!

Once colossal blunder, deserves another. After being caught red handed with video in a scandalous fraud by filmmakers James O’Keefe, Hannah Giles posing as a pimp and prostitute, ACORN now looks to make matters worse and sue.

ACORN filed suit today in Maryland against conservative filmmakers James O’Keefe, Hannah Giles and conservative Web site Breitbart.com for secretly taping the organization’s employees at its Baltimore office.

In the complaint, ACORN alleges that the filmmakers entered into the organization’s offices in July with a “hidden camera and microphone” and taped employees Tonja Thompson and Shera Williams. Both employees are listed as plaintiffs on the complaint, filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.

This is the same ACORN that the House andSenate has voted to defund? The same ACORN that the US Census has cut ties with and now the IRS has done the same? Damages? Acorn is the one who has caused damages and wasted tax dollars in the process.

Democrat New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson Won’t be Charged by Justice Department but they Will Investigate CIA

More from the Obama “Most Ethical White House” ever …

Isn’t this rather convenient. Democrat Bill Richardson will not be charged by the Justice Department for allegations involving “pay to play” scheme involving one of Richardson’s large political donors. The NM Governor withdrew his name to be Obama’s Commerce Secretary citing a pending investigation into a company that has done business with his state.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former high-ranking members of his administration won’t be criminally charged in a yearlong federal investigation into pay-to-play allegations involving one of the Democratic governor’s large political donors, someone familiar with the case said.

The decision not to pursue indictments was made by top Justice Department officials, according to a person familiar with the investigation, who asked not to be identified because federal officials had not disclosed results of the probe.

“It’s over. There’s nothing. It was killed in Washington,” the person told The Associated Press.

The sudden withdraw by Richardson has left the Obama transition team and Obama with egg on their face and began to cast a question of doubt on their decision making. Who knew that it was just a sign of things to come?

Now, suddenly The Justice Department says Richardson will not be charged. Hmm. This is the same Justice Department and AG Eric Holder that decided to reopen and pursue a host of alleged CIA prisoner-abuse cases? U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder named a special prosecutor to probe (re-probe) CIA prisoner abuse cases. So much for that Obama promise to not look backwards, but instead to look to the future. I guess “The One” must change strategies when Obamacare and his poll numbers are in free-fall. When it doubt … blame and attack Bush.

This is also the same Justice Department that dropped the case against members of the New Black Panthers in the voter intimidation case in Philly. Are we starting to sense a partisan political pattern?

Change You Can Believe In … No. 3, Assoc AG Thomas J. Perrelli at Justice Department OK’d Black Panther Voter Intimidation Reversal

We reported on this previously … Change You Can believe in from the Obama Justice Department with regards to a 180 degree flip on Black Panther Voter Intimidation. So why the reversal of fortune by the Obama Justice Department in such an obvious case of voter intimidation?

No Voter Intimidation here, cuz everyone carries a club at a voting venue

Remember this post? Change You Can Believe In … Barack Obama’s DOJ Drops Black Panther Voter Intimidation Case

The Obama Department of Justice has dropped the case against members of the New Black Panthers in the voter intimidation case in Philly. So the Obama DOJ does not think voter intimidation is a big deal, huh? According to the Washington Times, Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint against members of the NBPP. This is the “CHANGE” you voted for. Voter intimidation is perfectly okay when it is a member of the New Black Panthers dressed in military-style uniforms wilding night sticks. Imagine, just imagine if these were white skin heads doing the same. Oh wait, that did occur in 1960’s Mississippi which gave rise to laws preventing such actions from taking place.

Watch the video and decide for yourself. Career lawyers with the Justice Dept voted in favor of seeking sanctions against the NBPP and three of its members. However, the Administration of Change decided against it. Hmm?

The department’s career lawyers in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division who pursued the complaint for five months had recommended that Justice seek sanctions against the party and three of its members after the government had already won a default judgment in federal court against the men.

Daily Commentary - Monday, July 13th, 2009 - Time for a New Court “Dopey” TV … Wanna Be Judge TV

Joe Biden, Vice Idiot, Tells Law enforcement “She’ll Have Your Back” … So much for Justice being Blind

Can you imagine if a Dick Cheney said the following regarding a GWB justice nominee of the SCOTUS? These are no longer gaffes, they happen far too often, his stupidity and foot in mouth diseases is the norm.

To Joe Biden, not only is Justice not blind, it is bias as well. Who has “We the People’s” back?

Joe Biden has done it again, he has opened his mouth and the rest of America shakes their head. VP Joe Biden endorsed Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor at a White House event Tuesday by saying to law enforcement that you can count of her for having your back.

Flanked by a dozen District of Columbia police officers, Biden said Sotomayor, a former prosecutor, could be counted on to support law enforcement while on the high court.

“As you do your job, know that Judge Sotomayor has your back as well. And throughout this nominating process, I know you’ll have her back,” Biden said.

WHAT??? SHE WILL HAVE YOUR BACK!!!

Michael Ireland Sues Cheetah Strip Club After Stripper Kicks Him in the Head & Permanently Injures Him

Let the following be nominated for the frivolous law suit of the week award. Let this be another one of life’s lessons, nothing good comes of visiting a strip club.

Who knew, assault with a deadly stiletto? Michael Ireland is suing the Cheetah Strip Club after he was kicked in the head by a dancer, Sakeena “Suki” Shageer, without warning or provocation.  Sure she did. Because strippers normally just kick their patrons in the head. Normally, that would cost you extra . 

However, there are two sides to every story, the Cheetah Palm Beach manager Rod Kimbrough says that’s not quite the way they remember the night:

“A patron violently slapped the young woman on her buttocks and she was walking around the top of the bar and I guess out of a natural response she turned around and kicked him.  From what I’m told he refused medical attention and came back in the club after that and had beers,” says Kimbrough.

Maybe Saudi Arabia Law Isn’t All that Bad … Saudi’s Behead, Crucify Convicted Child Molester & Murderer Ahmed al-Anzi

Talk about sending a message to child raping molesters … Maybe the United States should adopt such a policy. It would send a message and prevent the child rapist from ever committing another act, EVER! Talk about taking a bite out of crime. A child molester meets the Islamic sword of justice

Although we are adamantly against the Saudi law when it comes to female child brides and we certainly do not believe any US President should be bowing down before a Saudi King or anyone; however, Saudi Arabia may have the judicial answer when it comes to child raping, molesting murderers.

As punishment for his crimes, Ahmed al-Anzi was beheaded and then crucified in public for all to see. There is nothing like a headless body being crucified in the town square to make child molesters think twice about their evil ways. Of course on cue was Amnesty International coming to the aid of the child killers criticizing the execution. Where was the bleeding hearts of AI when it came to an 11 year old child being molested and hung?

Crucifying the headless body in a public place is a way to set an example, according to the kingdom’s strict interpretation of Islam. Normally those convicted of rape, murder and drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia are just beheaded.

London-based rights group Amnesty International criticized al-Anzi’s execution and crucifixion
