Alyssa Bustamante Murder of 9 Year Old Elizabeth Olten : Ultimately, she stated she wanted to know what it felt like”

What evil lurks in the hearts of some people?

What makes their heart so black that they would take the life of another just to know what it was like? Now compound the issue with the fact that it was a 15 year old girl that murdered an innocent 9 year old girl with premeditated malice aforethought.

Alyssa Bustamante – jail

15 year old Alyssa Bustamante strangled, stabbed, cut the throat and murdered 9 year old Elizabeth Olten. Why? According to Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. David Rice, “Ultimately, she stated she wanted to know what it felt like!”

Alyssa Bustamante

Rice, who interviewed Bustamante in the days after Elizabeth’s disappearance, said she confessed to investigators and led them to the fourth grader’s well-concealed body in a wooded area near their neighborhood in St. Martins, a small town west of Jefferson City.

A Cole County judge ruled Wednesday that Bustamante, who has been held in Missouri’s juvenile justice system, should be tried as an adult. Hours later, the teen was indicted on adult charges of first-degree murder and armed criminal action for allegedly using a knife to kill Elizabeth. A judge later entered a not guilty plea on Bustamante’s behalf and referred her to the public defender’s office.

15 year old Alyssa Bustamante has been indicted for 1st degree murder of 9 year old Elizabeth Olten. Why type of dark individual plots such an act and then follows through with it? There had to be red flags yet once again we see that no one intervened. The end result, a murdered 9 year old and a 15 year old whose life is over.

Alyssa Bustamante dug two holes in the ground that she would later use for a grave on the Friday prior to the murder. This cold hearted, dark individual then attended classes and plotted the murder of he 9 year old neighbor Alyssa Bustamante.

9 year old Elizabeth Olten went missing on October 21, 2009.

Alyssa Bustamante plotted and murdered Elizabeth Olten with malice and aforethought just to know what it death felt like. UNREAL. One might say that she could have saved the family and friends of Elizabeth Olten much pain if Bustamante had practiced on her self instead. Who does this? Better than that, how could no one around her have seen the signs?  Bustamante had tried to commit suicide at the age of 13.

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.

Balloon Boy Hoax Dad Richard Heene Pleads Guilty to Felony Count of falsely influencing an Official … Could Get Jail Time

Justice is served for the “Balloon Boy” hoax perpetrated by the Colorado couple Richard and Mayumi  Heene. They wanted to be noticed, they wanted to be famous … well they got the bonus plan baby!  Richard Heene pleaded guilty to a felony count of falsely influencing the sheriff, while Mayumi Heene pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of filing a false report.

Richard and Mayumi Heene plead guilty in balloon boy, tin foil hat hoax

Richard Heene appeared before a Larimer County District Court judge first, pleading guilty to a felony count of falsely influencing the sheriff who led the rescue effort during the 50-mile balloon chase that captivated a global television audience Oct. 15.

Mayumi Heene pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of knowingly filing a false report with emergency services. Prosecutors said she had a lower level of culpability and cooperated with authorities, telling investigators the balloon launch was a publicity stunt two weeks in the making.

But even as the Heenes entered their guilty pleas, their attorneys’ comments in court set off speculation of talk show appearances or other deals.

The question remains as to whether Richard Heene will actually serve jail time. Once thing is for certain, because of this terrible and shameful stunt for attention, there is probably no Reality TV show in their future. no one would be stupid enough to tough this toxic situation.

21 year old John W. Lomax III, 20 year old Hakim Muhammad and 21 year old Jamal Todd have all been arrested in the stabbing death of UCONN football player Jasper Howard. Lomax was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit first degree assault, Muhammad was charged with conspiracy to commit first degree assault and Todd was charged with falsely reporting an incident and reckless endangerment for pulling the fire alarm.

Lomax’s attorney Deron Freeman, who was on his way back from a trip to Florida because of the arrest, said in a telephone interview that Lomax was arrested at about 9:30 a.m. at his job. 

“I’m surprised, because my information is that my client had nothing whatsoever to do with the stabbing. … State police believe he knows more than he’s telling.”

Lomax’s silver Nissan Maxima was towed from the UConn campus by state police on the Sunday morning following the homicide, although at the time police did not say whether it had anything to do with the Howard case.

Not one of these individuals charged in connection with the murder and stabbing death of Jasper Howard that took place on the UCONN Storrs campus was a student of the University of Connecticut.

Lomax is being held on $2 million bond, Muhammad on $750K bond, while Todd was released on bail. Lomax and Muhammad are both expected to appear in court on October 28, 2009.

Daily Commentary - Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 - the Casey Anthony Case in the death of Caylee Anthony

• The defense doesn’t have a very good case in light of new forensic evidence, and the prosecution seems to be playing it close.

• Discovery Review Part I
• Discovery Review Part II

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?

Michael David Barrett Arrested at O’Hare airport in Connection with Taping Nude Videos of ESPN Reporter Erin Andrews

Michael David Barrett was arrested Friday night at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport and is accused of taping nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews. Barrett, the 48 year old man from Westmont, Illinois is to appear in federal court on Saturday and is facing federal charges of  interstate stalking for taking the videos, trying to sell them to celebrity Web site TMZ and posting the videos online. Seven of the eight videos posted online were taken through a modified door peephole while the 31 year old, ESPN reporter, Andrews was alone and undressed in hotel rooms in Nashville, TN.  

FBI agents said they believe Barrett called many hotels to find out where Andrews was staying and requested a hotel room next to hers. Investigators said the eighth video was likely taken at another hotel, which Andrews couldn’t identify. Agents said Barrett, 48, also made reservations at a Milwaukee hotel where she stayed in July 2008. They found her door’s peephole similarly rigged, but he didn’t check in at that hotel and the furniture in the room did not match furniture seen on the eighth video. Barrett tried to sell the videos to TMZ, but an employee there informed Andrews’ attorneys, according to the complaint. FBI agents matched information in the e-mail to Barrett, and also examined telephone records and credit card charges from Barrett’s Nashville hotel stay. Agents also concluded that the videos of Andrews were likely recorded from a cell phone camera.

Criminal complaint filed late Friday against Michael David Barrett, aka Mark Bennett.

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.

Former NC Senator John Edwards May Finally Admit He is the “Reille” Father of Hunter’s Child … No Duh!

Who’d the “Reille” Daddy?

It looks like the MSM has decided to cover a story that the National Enquirer has been reporting on for over a year. Former NC Senator and VP candidate John Edwards, according to the NY Times, is going to admit he’s the daddy of Rielle Hunter’s child. WOW, what a shocker, really! Edwards had previously denied he was the father; however, he also denied visiting Reille Hunter and the child in the first place 

At the same time, Mr. Edwards is moving toward an abrupt reversal in his public posture; associates said in interviews that he is considering declaring that he is the father of Ms. Hunter’s 19-month-old daughter, something that he once flatly asserted in a television interview was not possible.

Friends and other associates of Mr. Edwards and his wife of 32 years, Elizabeth, say she has resisted the idea of her husband’s claiming paternity. Mrs. Edwards, who is battling cancer, “has yet to be brought around,” said one family friend, who like others spoke about the situation on the condition of anonymity, pointing to the complicated and delicate nature of the issue.

As the Gateway Pundit infers, once again the MSM was scooped by others that were more concerned with reporting on a scandal than protecting a Democratic candidate.

Howard Dean Finally Says Something Truthful … Democrats Left Tort Reform Out of Health Care Bill … They Feared ‘Taking On’ Trial Lawyers

Why was there no tort reform in the health care bill if they really wanted to reform health care?

Finally some one in the Democratic party has decided to tell the truth as to why tort reform was left out of the House healthcare bill, otherwise known as Obamacare. Howard Dean stated at a “town hall meeting on Tuesday night that Democrats in Congress did not include tort reform in the health care bill because they were fearful of taking on the trial lawyers”.

The answer from a doctor and a politician, Howard Dean, is that the Democrats were too cowardly to take on the trial lawyers. In 1500 pages of so-called health care reform, Democrats had no problem taking on the American people who’s health care coverage would be affected; however, when it came to their buddies, the trial lawyers, the point was moot.

“This is the answer from a doctor and a politician,” said Dean. “Here is why tort reform is not in the bill. When you go to pass a really enormous bill like that the more stuff you put in, the more enemies you make, right? And the reason why tort reform is not in the bill is because the people who wrote it did not want to take on the trial lawyers in addition to everybody else they were taking on, and that is the plain and simple truth. Now, that’s the truth.”
