Phoenix, AZ —Prosecutors went to the Court of Last Resort to salvage their soiled reputations and that of a disgraced former cop. Finally Debra Milke is free even though she already paid a price far greater than that of most convicted murderers in America.  It was not just Prosecutorial Misconduct that freed Milke but it was really about her innocence.   Had there been a retrial there was not a scintilla of a chance they'd have re-convicted Milke.  This was just nothing more than an "Hail Mary" effort to limit corrupt official's liability under the doctrine of  Collateral Estoppel .  That's legalese that would decree in a civil lawsuit that since the judge let the trial commence, that the cops and prosecutors were acting in good faith.  This has been a 25 yearlong odyssey that began December 3, 1989.   That day I met Milke as she was being booked into the Madison Street Jail on a charge of murdering h...

Pamona, CA —It was in the early hours this morning when an altercation ended in the shooting death of 23 year-old Salome Rodriquez, Jr. The apparent location of this incident is Third and Main Streets. Police say that 27 year-old LAPD probationary officer, Henry Solis who was assigned to the Devonshire Division.   Police say that he failed to show up for roll call today.   Solis has absolutely no duty under any law to make himself available for interrogation by anyone.   He also had the right to flee from the scene if he felt endanger of criminal attack. This case has an odor to it since they are so quick to treat Officer Solis as a fugitive.   Solis needs help.   He needs a criminal lawyer who can’t do much for him beyond shutting Solis up and negotiating reasonable bail.   Lawyers can’t investigate because if they become a witness they must withdraw from further criminal defense. What Solis needs is me to quickly conduct a defense ...

Los Angeles, CA —The wildly popular camera multi-rotor camera drones had few women admirers.   Advances in technology has facilitated and enabled the drone camera industry explosion just in the last two years. I became hooked on drones was slightly over a year ago however I was really disappointed by a lack of interest by women in this incredibly exciting and creative endeavor.   Going to model aircraft flying fields was always an all male event.   Not a wife, daughter, girlfriend of the drone pilots were in sight.   Okay, I have a fondness for women and not seeing any of them enjoying something I’m relishing so much was disappointing. I suspect that the perceived technical issues and mechanics of the drones had intimidated women.     There are four things a successful drone camera pilot needs to learn. The actual piloting of an unmanned multi-rotor aircraft is really not too difficult to learn.   The technical issues like GPS and physical i...

Carice van Houten Guest Stars on THE SIMPSONS! Los Angeles, CA —It was no secret that my favorite actress, Carice van Houten loves The Simpsons ! I knew she made a stop on her last visit to L.A. to the Pico Ave Fox Studios to the Simpsons sound stage.   Van Houten left proudly sporting a Simpson’s souvenir jacket. Carice van Houten is probably best known as the Red Witch, Melisandre in the wildly popular HBO series, Game of Thrones .    She’s also the winner of five, Golden Calf awards (The Dutch equivalent of our Oscar Award).    Van Houten’s amazing talent first blew me away as the star of my all time favorite dramatic film, Paul Verhoeven’s, Black Book .    Now van Houten has found herself as guest star on the Simpsons.     Her character named Anneke van Houten will debut on the May 3rd episode. This incredibly talented actress comes from a gifted Dutch family that’s deeply routed in in art, music, television and the...

Los Angeles, CA —Nestled between  Brentwood and Westwood on the North side of Wilshire Blvd. is the sprawling Veteran’s Administration campus . It contains the Veteran’s Cemetery, The West Los Angeles VA Hospital, a stadium and even a golf course. There is limited housing for some of our old soldiers riding out what time they have left on this earth. Standing there is this grand old white Victorian designed building with peeling paint.   What it his building and what’s it’s story? This old Army veteran had to take his little camera drone and check the place out.   Along the way I learned its history. Sit back and watch my report on the old Wadsworth Chapel.

Sam Simon and his family Okay, I must confess to being a fan of The Simpsons... Los Angeles, CA —One of the fathers of the Simpson family has left us too soon at age 59.    Award winning writer Sam Simon died here from colon cancer. Simon was a writer and being a writer is a lonely occupation.   A writer’s only companion is his computer while he struggles to put significant words on paper.   Sam Simon was an amazing and talented man.   He was also legendary philanthropist that enjoyed sharing his substantial wealth. Simon was a true friend of animals, funding veterinary care for critters in need.   Simon also funded a vegetarian food bank for the needy.   He constantly donated money to a long line of very deserving causes through his Sam Simon Foundation . After being diagnosed with cancer in 2012, Simon started buying zoos and circuses just to free their animals. Simon went public with his cancer fight and battled it as nobly as a...

Chicago, IL —Let me say I’m no stranger to the African-American community . As a Chicago cop, I became intimately familiar with the inner city Blacks along with their lifestyle and culture. The new slogan, “ Black Lives Matter .”  Is disingenuous at best when delivered by Blacks and White Liberals.   The few incidents of cops killing young troubled Black young men are only a microcosm of the monumental reality of Black on Black genocide.  This is not about race or skin color but a cruel, savage and subhuman culture.  That defective culture is a millstone around America’s inner city Black's necks and that’s every bit as evil as slavery! I learned firsthand that this violent, ignorant and narcissistic culture was and is totally bankrupt.  It’s easy to predict that this group will eventually vanish through self-inflicted genocide.  This mutant, subhuman African-American inner city stereotype is the product of, Communists, Socialists, and assor...
