Will County, IL Judge Stephen White’s Impossible Task RE: Drew Peterson

Joliet, IL-Retired Bolingbrook police sergeant, Drew Peterson is on trial for his life for murdering his third wife. Despite paper thin evidence consisting of double hearsay a Grand Jury has returned a murder indictment.

On Friday Peterson’s attorneys argued a motion before Judge Stephen White for a change of venue over pre-trial publicity issues. Because of heavy publicity and prosecution fueled venom the public perception is that Peterson is not just a murderer but a double murderer.

Can Peterson get a fair trial? I say no jury can be found that has not already been influenced beyond repair. They may find jurors that give the right answers to questions about impartiality but the answers will be deceptive.

Judge White’s Problems:

1. Many jurors, particularly those that don’t have a life, love to get selected for high profile cases. They see opportunities for fame, fortune and perhaps even a book in their future. They will do anything including lie during Voir Dire to get picked on a juicy case such as Peterson’s.

2.Jurors are admonished to avoid any discussion or news material involving the case. Nearly 100% of jurors can be counted on to violate the orders of the court in that regard. It’s not just pillow talk at home but today’s jurors are Tweeting, Facebooking and Googleing everything because the judge can’t follow them home. They do it to be empowered and to get the “real information” the court tries to hide from them. How many people do you know could go Cold Turkey from Internet for a trial lasting from one to several months?

The only way to protect the right of Peterson to a fair trial is in addition to painstakingly questioning of the jurors is to sequester them during the trial.

Internet misconduct:

I can tell you about a case in Los Angeles I covered on this blog. There was a shooting that was an act of self-defense involving two men with unusual names that never were revealed by Google searches until I published them on my blog.

The L.A. District Attorney disingenuously prosecuted the victim who shot his attacker in self-defense for aggravated assault.

The victim being prosecuted had four children, three jobs and no criminal record. The state’s star witness who they claimed during trial was the “true” victim was a nasty drunk who had convictions including hate crimes, assault. In addition he was an illegal alien.

I wrote two stories about this case and published the criminal record and immigration status of the state’s star witness. That information was ruled inadmissible at the trial.

Most or all of the jury members Googled the names of the parties and found their way to my blog. They continued to “check in” for more salacious and inadmissible details for the length of that two week trial. The jury foreman was kind enough to post a comment informing me of the acquittal the very day it happened.

I checked the ISP address of the foreman and it was identical to one that had visited my two articles on the case. I had subsequent telephone conversations with him and never revealed what transpired.

The reality was that 14 different ISP addresses were on my blog for the entire time period of the trial. The jury consisted of 12 members and two alternates. I’d say it’s a safe bet that more members of that jury beyond the foreman violated the court’s admonishment.

Judge White, you have an impossible task before you. We live in a high tech, information or for that matter a misinformation age. How do you protect the rights of a presumed innocent man to a fair trial under these conditions?

Wacha gonna do Judge?

Germany Rocks!

Click on picture to enlarge it.

Aschaffenburg, Germany—As a U.S. Army conscript I was lucky enough to sit out the Viet Nam War as a medical corpsman here. I was all of 20 years-old when my Military Airlift Command jet touched down on a snowy Frankfurt runway in December of 1968. I lived and worked there until my military obligation was completed in June of 1970.

I wasted no time in getting to know the people customs, and language. I avoided spending any time around my fellow soldiers as I went on a non-stop exploration of a country that was still making repairs from allied bombing a couple of decades earlier.

Many of the older people were unhappy with Americans and viewed us as an occupation army. Others were happy to have us protecting them from the Bolshevik bastards that raped the women and children when Germany fell.

Many Americans want to blame the German people for the acts of their politicians that led to World War Two. Adolph Hitler mesmerized that population just as that Marxist Barack Obama has our own. The people had no clue what Hitler’s idea of Hope and Change would be until it was too late.

Germans are a proud, hard working and law-abiding people. West Germany was no welfare state. The people were just really nice. It’s too bad we don’t have that kind of culture in the United States.

The young women of Germany I met were, refined, elegant and especially pretty. Dating American soldiers was never popular especially with the girl’s parents. Having a working knowledge of the customs and language saved the day. I found myself accepted. At the time I felt I was way too young to hook up with a German bride and fled from that idea.

I truly had the time of my life there but was not smart enough to know it. Getting drafted turned out to be one of the better things that ever happened to this Chicago kid raised in poverty.

In hindsight I should have stayed in Germany and gotten my education there. We all make or choices and we don’t get second chances. My Austrian heritage would have quickly gotten me dual citizenship.

Today I look for any reason to travel to this great place. Investigations, film work and news gathering have rarely facilitated my travel here. I’m ready to go again at the slightest excuse.

I have a real answer to California’s budget Crisis!

Sacramento, CA—Facing bankruptcy for decades of wild spending California has to come to grips with a new court order to release tens of thousands of convicts to the streets. This will be the first order of business when the State Assembly returns from their recess on Monday.

They are looking in every wrong direction at ways to change laws like reclassifying felonies as misdemeanors. They will probably repeal the so-called, Three-Strikes Law as they look for the wrong ways to save some operating expense.

Undoubtedly the convicts will migrate to and ravage nearby states once the doors swing open. The cost to taxpayers for the new crime committed will dwarf the present corrections budget. It’s not difficult to imagine the hospital bills for the new victims will be as these unemployable felons raid the communities.

Of course giving the law-abiding citizens of California the right to protect themselves with concealed weapons will never see the light of day in the Socialist run state.

The easiest way out for California and its taxpayers is to legalize victimless crimes. Can we really afford the Drug War anymore? Do we really need to arrest prostitutes and gamblers? Why are we arresting gun owners for highly technical, difficult to understand and unconstitutional gun laws where there is absolutely no threat or breach of the peace?

There is a much better way to solve this problem then letting thieves, thugs and predators lose on our streets.

California can wage war on victimless crime laws.

YouTube Is Dangerous For Political Tyrants, So Why Not Empower Yourself!

As our mainstream broadcast and print media fades off to the sunset, YouTube has risen. Yes, YouTube is a free for all but it’s free speech at its best.

Those video moments of politicians misleading Americans can be counted on being replayed the very second memories begin to fade.

These days political or corporate corruption can’t seem to escape exposure on YouTube. If the mainstream media chooses to keep the public in the dark, YouTube citizen reporters and producers fill that vast void.

Free speech is the very cornerstone to our free society. As a staunch and unyielding Second Amendment supporter I can say the computer keyboard and the video camera are mightier than the sword. Each right protects the other.

The Internet is a natural enemy to dictators and despots. We must fight to keep it free or they will tax and regulate it out of existence.

The camera and the keyboard are not tools for the exclusive use of Conservatives or Liberals.

If you don’t have a video camera get one! There are some great, new generation, inexpensive, high definition cameras like the $200.00 Flip HD. Learn how to edit and put your exposé’ up on YouTube for the world to see. It is really easy to do!

Don’t be afraid to jump in front of your own camera tell your story.
Be sure to use the YouTube Tag line so people searching on Google can zero in on the names and subject matter of your reports.

Why allow waste and corruption when you have the power to stop it? Why allow injustice when you can expose the truth? Technology has given us the greatest tools ever to protect and defend liberty and we all have a duty to use them.

Once you have that camera, don’t leave home without it!

An American Presidency Built On A Lie…

Washington, DC—I can’t imagine that anyone was really that stupid to believe this pretender’s claims to never raise taxes. Barack Obama did what all crooked politicians do best; lie to the voters just to get elected.

Obama has been closely following the Marxist playbook; Das Kapatal and can only succeed with his government model with a totally dependent and impoverished population. Marxists judge their success on how well they keep their population orderly and silent through heavy handed police state tactics.

We all know that with Obama’s non-stop bailouts, massive efforts to end free enterprise, cap and trade scam, the hostile takeover of the health care and insurance industries enormous tax increases would enslave every American.

It is time to rid ourselves of this fraudulent President and start over. Polls show many Americans that voted for him, are now remorseful. Obama is well past the point of no return before he completed the first year of his term.

In case you missed it watch this despot as he repeats his campaign lie.

A Website For Hate Mongers Of The Looney Left!

If you want to see the reality of extreme hatred of Americans who want to preserve Liberty and Freedom in America, the pathetic souls at, democraticunderground.com have lots of ideas to offer for their vision of America.

They seem so desperate to silence Americans finding their voice and making their Congress aware that they don’t want a Communist United States.

They are a dangerous bunch, which seems anxious to bring on violence against Conservatives. The whack jobs at democraticunderground.com believe free speech is only for them.

Rise in militia groups across the county, sound the alarm!

Montgomery, AL—The Southern Poverty Law Center is warning of a, Second Wave of the militia movement inside the United States. They call the militia movements anti-government, but are they really? Are they really just trying to preserve our form of government that’s been under constant attack by Marxist operatives?

The SPLC has long been known for their Communist leanings under the guise of protecting the poor and disenfranchised minority groups. In fairness they have diligently worked against real crimes committed by such groups at the KKK and various neo-Nazi groups.

The problem with the SPLC is they lump Conservative Americans or anyone who opposes their own Marxist agenda as hate mongers. They have zero credibility as they goad government and law enforcement officials to wage war on gun owners and those seeking to reduce the size of government and extortionate taxation.

The SPLC has just issued and distributed a new report claiming the Second Wave of the militia groups is building after being dormant during the years of the Bush Administration. Perhaps the rise against long held American principals and basic freedom by government Leftists is fertilizing the militia groups. In any event the sentiment among angry taxpaying and loyal Americans is feeding a movement that is ready to explode.

Americans have been buying record amounts of guns, ammunition and survival equipment as the Red Menace of the Obama Cabal has taken over government. Contrary to what is believed by our media pundits, it is not from worrying about new gun prohibitions but they have been preparing for a potential Civil War.

Most taxpaying Americans are absolutely horrified by the un-American business bailouts, seizure of banks and businesses, that bogus Cap and Trade tax scam and the hostile takeover of the medical and insurance industries. This is nothing but the ongoing destruction of the American way of life and form of government under the leadership of tyrants and traitors.

We need people to train and be ready to stop the Communist takeover of America. The traitors will not peacefully cease their attack on America. Soon there will be the “last straw” and traitors will begin to pay dearly for their deeds.

Yes, the Second Wave is here and they will not tolerate any more Waco or Ruby Ridge style operations against fellow Americans.

There is a peaceful solution and that to simply end this ongoing Communist revolution in America.

You are not alone! Just find yourself a support group and a middle-aged mistral to help you cope.

Hysterical Response To An Armed Man Is Fun To Watch

Portsmouth, NH—Chairman Barack Obama went to town hall meeting in the, Live Free Or Die state of New Hampshire.

An anti-Obama protester, William Kostrick was present in a position well outside the meeting hall with a loaded and holstered handgun. That was his unquestionable right except in the eyes of some people who went absolutely berserk at the simple display. The man also carried a sign with a quote from a great American, Thomas Jefferson that was and is still provocative.

Freedom is here because as George Orwell said, “Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”

Freedom is being threatened by the Obama regime and the threat is not idle. He and his un-American cabal has begun dismantling free enterprise, our entire monetary system and is moving to place Americans under the yoke of Socialist slavery.

We still have the right to peaceably assemble with the right to keep and bear arms. Both rights of these rights are under attack by the same people who support Obama and all his Marxist programs.

The Secret Service understands our laws and a presidential visit, does not trump freedom. They live with the law and yes some people want to and have killed our presidents. These agents have worked around a free society since the organization was created in 1865. It’s a tough job sometimes.

I once got to meet a United States President, Jimmy Carter and I carried a legal concealed weapon to the meeting. It was a real non-event other than I was under the watchful eyes of the Secret Service. Okay, I was an off duty cop but never advertised it or made national news over that fact.

I guess there are lots of people who want to assume every gun is owned or carried by evil persons. People who want to preserve freedom and our way of life like me feel it’s our duty. If they continue to take our freedom the smell of gun smoke will once again be in the air. That’s exactly why we have a Second Amendment.

Perhaps it's time for American Presidents to not be dividers and accept the form of government our founding fathers gave us.

A Silent, Two Pound Eye In The Sky Surveillance Drone In Time For Christmas!

Waterloo, Canada—It’s about to hit our sky very soon at a mere $50K per copy. It’s called the Aeryon Scout and will allow minimally skilled users to capture high resolution images of events happening below. The drone is all electric and operates silently.

Its knapsack sized package can be opened and the drone deployed from a car trunk in seconds. The initial intended end users will be security companies, police and we can count on the news organizations avoiding the high cost of helicopter air time. .

For news organizations they will be able to own the sky over crime scenes at least until police or medical helicopters are present.

The company boasts their drone will operate in bad weather and is waterproof.

I can see the Hollywood paparazzi industry jumping on this gee whiz gizmo in a New York second.

Guaranteed Free Medical Care For Criminal Aliens Under Obamacare

Washington, DC—One thing nobody wants to talk about is the absolute right to free medical care for criminal aliens under Barack Obama’s hostile government takeover of the medical and health insurance industries.

Illegal alien drug dealers, human traffickers and even killers doing their nasty business inside our borders would get the same care as our own law-abiding citizens that paid taxes their whole lives.

Call Congress today and tell them to stop Obamacare now at 202-225-3121

Drew Peterson Prosecution Is Hinged On Illegal Hearsay Evidence

Joliet, IL—They finally indicted retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson on a dubious count of murdering his third wife. The physical evidence of is non-existent and the exact cause of her death is far from certain. Prosecutors are relying on a brand new and perhaps Ex-Post Facto law to enable this prosecution.

As Peterson languishes in jail with an unheard of $20 million bond, his lawyers are scrambling to get him his fair day in court.

The “evidence” here is primarily double hearsay evidence. This Indictment and prosecution was enabled by the “Drew Peterson Law”, which was strictly an emotional response to a stalled police investigation by the Illinois Legislature.

They changed the law, sidestepping Drew Peterson’s Constitutional right to face his accusers. This legislative response was both unconstitutional and un-American.

They already allow prosecutors to present hearsay evidence of alleged confessions by defendants. This is where they take some burglar out of jail, put lipstick and a suit on him and let him tell his tale of hearing another prisoner confess to a jury. This usually comes in exchange for a, get out of jail free card for the babbling burglar.

Now prosecutors have even more nefarious power. They seek using the Drew Peterson Law to present testimony from someone who claims to have heard the confession from someone else who allegedly claimed to have heard it from Peterson. Only the witness repeating the double hearsay will be under oath while the others in the alleged conversation chain will not.

The logical way to deal with this is to have a final judicial ruling on the issue of this new and untested law before such testimony is allowed to be presented.

If the law is struck down this should end the prosecution unless or until more reliable and admissible evidence is located. In any event it all begins with the defense asking for a Declaratory Judgment striking the law down.

The Defense Motion is pending and the Will County State’s Attorney has the right and duty to defend this legislative effort custom made to get Drew Peterson. Despite the ruling from Peterson’s trial judge either side can be expected to appeal the ruling.

Here is that Motion:

Productive, Taxpaying Americans Have The Power To Stop Obama

Washington, DC—As the Communists has taken control of our government and placed taxpayers under siege they seem to have forgotten something. The ultimate power lies with America’s taxpaying producers.

We have the ability to shut down this rogue government with our collective clout. The government can be brought to its knees with a three-day productivity moratorium. We don’t buy anything nor do we sell anything for three day periods.

During a normally busy week every business can shut down for three days. Government employees can call in sick to work. People can refuse to buy or sell goods. A three day holiday would cost federal, state and local governments billions in lost revenue and force them to do without.

Unlike refusing to pay taxes that might bring prosecution shutting down our own businesses violates no laws.

Imagine what three-days loss of parking garage tax revenue would do to Chicago’s Daley-Burke crime families?

Why produce just to have the profits taken and redistributed those people who don’t earn them?

Every time our politicians refuse to do what we demand we simply shut down. Why do we continue to feed the monster?

Manson Family Murders Forty Years Later

Los Angeles, CA—Forty years is indeed a milestone since the nights of unbridled horror rocked Hollywood. A bunch of seemingly disenfranchised kids were misled by an older ex-con who was a charismatic aspiring musician. That group of naive kids was taken down a path straight to Hell.

The crimes were beyond unimaginable and senseless. Was this a product of a mind control experiment gone wrong? I’ve heard all the theories by the so-called experts and can except none of them. Perhaps we will never know.

One thing for sure. If there ever were crimes that justified the death penalty these were at the very top of the list. Fuhrman vs. Georgia changed all that in 1972 when the Manson Family was resentenced to life.

Mitigation

Most Americans can find any mitigation or reason for mercy for the Manson Family horrors. Excuse me for suggesting that the mad acts of first time offenders under unparalleled influence of drugs and an evil leader deserve study and perhaps some form of mercy.

It was none other than our own government that gave us LSD, an intended weapon of war gone wrong. The 1960’s users of this drug never had the right information about the risks and Hollywood made that and other drugs fashionable. Heavy LSD us by the Manson Family was well-documented.

As for Charles Manson he was no first time offender nor did he deserve to live, but what about the kids Manson twisted? They were an extreme danger and their acts deserved extreme punishment. Had these kids entered my dwelling I would have done my best to kill every last one of them in an act of justifiable self-defense.

Now these kids are senior citizens who have disavowed Manson and taken steps to change their lives. Should they be redeemed? Most or all religions of the world say yes while most Americans say no.

We do know one thing for sure. Age and disability does remove or greatly reduce the danger connected with releasing criminals. We also know that young and dangerous criminals need the confinement behind bars.

At this point in time the Manson kids are incarcerated strictly for deserved vengeance only. Their behavior in prison has been well beyond that of their peers.

As California dumps tens of thousands of prisoners on our streets early I’d like to think the old, disabled and long time reformed prisoners get preference for release. That includes the Manson family sans, Manson.

We must make room in our prisons for the young and able bodied offenders that threaten our safety.

Lady Cop Pummels Old Woman In Columbus Ohio

Columbus, OH—This came to me via a Facebook friend who works as a Cook County Public Defender in Chicago.

At this time I can’t give you background on the underlying circumstances that brought the police to this scene. You see the event unfold as the cell-phone camera owner and others agitate the police for all they're worth.

An old woman goes down hard and was bleeding after she brandished a nasty looking knife at a young policewoman. The officer properly followed her training here. The results are tragic in that the old gal somehow lost it. I’m sure the officer was herself traumatized by the entire event.

This was one of those split-second decisions cops must sometimes make. For those that don’t know it knives at close range are much more deadly than firearms.

Why The Death Penalty Needs To be Abolished

Los Angeles, CA—As most of my readers know I loathe the Marxist agenda of the Obama Administration. For those who suggest this is related to the color of his skin, I freely admit I despise Barack Obama, but only over the Red color of his politics. As for skin color, it has no significance to me.

Conservatives blast Liberals over the Death Penalty. Hard corps Socialist and Communists like Hitler, Castro and Stalin has a solid history of branding their political enemies as criminals and executing them by the millions.

Barack Obama has never taken a public stand against the death penalty. Is Obama capable of using that awesome power to kill his political enemies? Why must we wait and find out? This power needs to be taken away from our government. Sooner or later all governments abuse the death penalty and history teaches this reality redundantly.

During my early years in law enforcement murders were routinely cleared at the 85 percent level. Nearly 40 years later the murder clearance rate has stalled at 35 percent.

That seems crazy since today we have the refined investigative tools of DNA, high resolution surveillance cameras and nearly every American leaves a constant data trail with every purchase or trip on a toll road. Add to that that data can be cross checked with the surveillance video and absolute alibi evidence can often easily be established.

Notoriously unreliable eye-witness identification has been all but phased out by modern technology. The inescapable conclusion is that we have imprisoned and killed thousands of innocent people in America because of a flawed criminal justice system we love to boast about.

We can get along fine without the death penalty and save billions for the legal appeals our justice system demands. It’s far cheaper to keep people locked up for life or until they're too old and infirmed to cause harm.

If Barack Obama was really a simple Liberal he’d have condemned the death penalty long ago. Obama is not what he has been advertised and should not have the ultimate tool of tyranny.

LAPD Police Chief William Bratton Suddenly Walks Off The Job.

Los Angeles, CA—William Bratton announced his resignation just one year into a three-year term as LAPD’s top cop. The move is said to enable Bratton to take a post in private security.

Bratton seems to have avoided scandal, labor problems or out-of-control crime during his reign. The ride of peace and prosperity is rapidly coming to a close in the land of free money for slackers. Leaving now makes perfect sense for the 61 year-old in light of a bleak future for Los Angeles.

As California releases many tens of thousands of criminals from its prisons crime can be expected to rise off the charts. The convicts will be released into a bankrupt state that has chased far too many employers away through extortionate taxation. That’s a recipe for a total catastrophe. Bratton knows this and that he’s be better off anywhere away from the once Golden State.

This move has caught Los Angeles public officials by surprise. He also recently put his home up for sale. They will now have to scramble to find a replacement.

With California’s gun laws that protect criminals, law abiding citizens better rethink their following the unconstitutional gun prohibitions. Police will never be able to contain crime or provide reasonable protection for the public. Angelinos will have little choice but judicious use of self-help. It may be time to take one of the training programs offered by the NRA.

Bratton is expected to hold a press conference at noon today (PST). I don’t expect much light to be shed on his stunning departure.
