Okay, I told you so! Read my story of August 17th and look at the time of day I posted my predictions. This arrest of John Mark Karr was indeed an exercise in wasting time and tax money. I called this Mary Lacy’s Waterloo suggesting this might end her political career. Over the decades I’ve had my battles with prosecutors. As a cop I would bemoan a refusal to prosecute a case as laziness or corruption. As a criminal defense investigator I nearly came to blows with prosecutors more than once over what I considered a political or malicious prosecution. Prosecutors are always in the hot seat because, right or wrong somebody is always mad at them. There are also rogue and despicable prosecutors like Kenneth Jack Peasley of Tucson, Arizona. Peasley was disbarred for knowingly putting perjured testimony before a jury on a death penalty case. Peasley should have been prosecuted and imprisoned in addition to being disbarred. Mary Lacy jumped the gun in her zeal to deal with a pedop...

There are so many TV shows that vanished from television. Fans were abandoned as TV executives made their fickle decisions to take away our shows. This show was pure eye candy that was always good for a gag. IT’S A LIVING, had a really special lady in the cast who stood out and that was the adorable little Cassie who was played by the incomparable Ann Jillian. It’s time to print those DVDs!

I have had some real thrills in my life. One was playing a Muleteer in the play, Man of La Mancha in Scottsdale, Arizona and another was meeting and making a friend the playwright responsible for that Broadway hit, Dale Wasserman. About five years ago I introduced Dale to a fabulous version of the title song. Sung not by a man, but by a beautiful and amazing woman, Linda Eder. Dale is a little jaded in his old age and has heard a few billion people sing that song before. This time Dale really lit up because he never heard that song sung with so much energy before. Here is Linda Eder she will blow you away!

I predicted the results that has freed former Jonbenet Ramsey murder suspect, John Mark Karr. That twisted nut case was released from charges since extradition on misdemeanor cases never happens. If Karr stays out of California he will face no further punishment. If as first reported Karr broke the law in Thailand he will never be extradited and escape any and all punishment there. In many jurisdictions Karr will not even be required to register as a sex offender for his misdemeanor convictions. You ask if this is the end of the story now? Hardly, additional grief and aggravation is in store for our pedophile. I fully expect greed to take over as parents start coaching their children into repressed memory nonsense as a way to go after school districts anywhere Karr has been employed. Cops will do their investigations, arrest and extradite Karr and start the circus all over again. If this somehow all blows over, perhaps the very creepy, John Mark Karr will have a handsome book ...

Leslie Van Houten now aged 57 was a murdering member of the Manson Family. As a teen, she left a life of wealth and privilege to join a cult of drug freaks. They were the Manson family that left a trail of horror never seen before or since in the Los Angeles area. The incredible grip that Manson had of total mind control over his “family” has never been satisfactorily explained to me. These women would do absolutely anything Manson desired. There were heavy drugs in the mix that spawned this murdering machine. Van Houten helped kill Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. She was a part of the cult that also killed pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others in hopes of starting a revolution of which they would be the only survivors. Van Houten was never known or accused to be personally involved with the Tate killings. Van Houten was once Prom Queen material that had gone terribly wrong. Originally she was sentenced to death for her despicable acts, but that was commuted to Life with parol...

We all want to find the right way to do police work. Perhaps this is the answer in the new perfected police procedures coming soon to police departments everywhere!

Are there Snakes on your plane? There really are snakes and they’re employed in airline security! These snakes are smart enough to stay off the planes and avoid the crap they force on the public. Officials at the TSA have lost their minds. Luggage nightmares, excessive pawing and the officious attitudes by the overwhelmed and under trained TSA workers are the current standard. Add long lines and the insane confiscation of deodorant and mouthwash all creating a very objectionable and smelly experience. Of course this is pale by comparison to the silliness that the clowns running the Airports in the UK have dreamed up. The latest threats have sent UK air travel into the Land of Oz. There was a minor tire inflation problem on a full, Virgin Atlantic flight from Gatwick U.K. to Havana, Cuba. Passengers were held captive in their seats for seven straight hours as the plane simply sat on the tarmac. Police were finally sent in to quell the hostile passengers they feared would riot. ...

Our immigration enforcement farce defies explanation. Mexico and many South American countries have exported their crime, poverty and ignorance straight to our soil. Traitors in our own government deliberately allowed this to happen as a means to create a huge economic crisis. This attack is as damaging as any rockets or bombs. The vast majority of Americans and legal aliens want the immigration laws on the books enforced. Our government officials refuse to do their job despite our demands. Among the millions of illegal aliens more than ten percent are convicted felons. What possible excuse could there be to not immediately round up and deport those identified criminals? I don’t think that’s asking too much of our beleaguered politicians and the bureaucrats they appoint to enforce our laws.

Yes I found more scenes from this fun but failed TV musical cop show created by Steven Bochco. Sit back and enjoy this blast from the past. Baby Merchant Beautiful Eyes Garbage in garbage out Good Life

I’ve never suggested or offered anyone as a suspect for killing Jonbenet Ramsey. It’s routine in such cases to look close to the victim for a killer. The sad truth is too often we humans kill the ones we love much more often than strangers. One or both of Jonbenet’s parents were or are the usual suspects absent evidence of a killer from outside the home. There’s just no probable cause to implicate anyone. The fact is people get away with despicable crimes everyday. Cops are not clairvoyant and too often make mistakes that lead to false convictions and or simply miss clues. The latest Ramsey blunder is just too bizarre for my better senses. This gadfly pedophile John Karr is getting his 15 minutes he thinks will help sell his Jonbenet book as he manipulates the criminal justice system with his sick hoax. I could easily visit L.A Superior Court in the morning and get TV news pool video for my blog. This court proceeding will shed no light on anything and is a waste of time for the...

It’s easier than you think! First you must we well known and reasonably popular. Second you need a platform of solid rock. You can easily win if you run on a single issue, illegal immigration. Simply take the hard line to seal the borders, locate and deport the illegal aliens with a priority on beginning with those with criminal records. Getting rid of even Green Card holding felons would be very popular and give our crime rate a break too. Maintain this platform and you will win the largest landslide in history.

Airlines prohibit police from transporting prisoners handcuffed. To keep prisoners under control they use a leg brace on the prisoner underneath his or her pants. They can also use a locking shock belt under the prisoner’s shirt remotely controlled by officers escorting the prisoner. It’s highly unlikely that one or both of these devices were not used on John Mark Karr for the trip from Bangkok to Los Angeles. Leg Brace Link Shock Belt Link

Only in America can a pedophile prisoner dine on champagne and King prawns in business class for a 15-hour trip to Los Angeles. This is unbelievable. Read about it !

Boulder County, Colorado District Attorney coyly confessed that “exigent circumstances” necessitated the arrest before they investigated their case. The fear of their confessed suspect’s international flight must have been paramount in the decision to cause the arrest with the minimal probable cause based on John Mark Karr’s confession. There are a lot of places an American fugitive can go in Asia where extradition is unlikely. Thailand has an excellent history of returning our criminals. This is a hot news story that will soon freeze over once D.A. Lacy’s sleuths investigate the plausibility of Karr’s murderous claims. I expect this new lead to dry up as Ms. Lacy’s foes at the Boulder Police Department enjoy the failure of these efforts. Lacy will be remembered for her failure here than anything she’s ever done in her career. Lacy's Statement: Aug. 17, 2006 News Conference Statement from Mary Lacy Good morning. As you are now aware, John Mark Karr, 41 years old, was arrest...

What’s this really about? I’m convinced that John Mark Karr is a nut job and not a killer. Karr is apparently obsessed with children and their murders. I watched with amazement as Karr dryly tells the international media, “I was with Jonbenet when she died." and, "It was an accident.” That sound bite is beyond belief. My prediction is that Karr will be behind bars for several months and never match the DNA sample or be implicated by any physical evidence. Karr’s history as a second grade teacher, kiddieporn aficionado and Thailand sex tourist makes him a prime candidate. Sexually assaulting and killing Jonbenet Ramsey would give a twisted pedophile the highest status among the other freaks of similar ilk. Is Karr bragging to claim the status to impress other pedophiles? If John Mark Karr was starving for attention he’s in store for a lot more than his 15 minutes of fame.

The small Boulder, Colorado Police Department was just not up to the task of this tragic murder investigation. The December 26, 1996 killing has remained unsolved and gone cold. Aside from the murder three additional people were destroyed too. Jonbenet’s parents and brother suffered untold abuse, scorn, hatred and humiliation. Patsy Ramsey died this year from cancer, but my guess is a broken heart was the real malady that took her life. A Ramsey family spokesperson has told of an arrest in this case. So far Boulder police have remained mum on this story. One thing for sure putting together a credible and sucessful murder prosecution now will be a real challange. Update: The Boulder County District Attorney’s office has confirmed that a suspect that has implicated himself was found in Thailand and their investigators have traveled there to interview him. So far they’ve declined to name the suspect who is in custody on unrelated sex charges. Extradition procedures must be made an...

Mine was the Viet Nam War. One day in May of 1968, I received a letter from the President of the United States. It seems Lyndon Johnson ordered me into the armed forces with only a 30-day notice. I reported for duty at the induction center in Chicago and found myself beginning basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I had a job to do for my country in order to earn my Freedom and Liberty. From Fort Leonard Wood, I was sent to Light Weapons Infantry training at the beautiful Fort Ord in Northern California. Soon as I finished that training I got my orders for Viet Nam. My heart pounded as I read the orders but I was not surprised and was resigned to my fate. Somehow at the last minute I cheated the odds and was the only lad from my company to be rerouted to Germany with new set of orders. Soon I had the good fortune to wind up as a medical corpsman in a busy dispensary. I hate how we as a country reneged on our promise to the people of South Viet Nam to free them from the...

I am in this short scene with fellow Chicagoan, Joe Mantegna in an episode of Joan of Arcadia. Don’t blink your eyes and miss my mug as I take an order and serve the Chief some lemonade. This Chief does not drink on duty.

Three young Arab men were “caught” with 1000 cellular telephones, and jailed on really high bail. Their “crime” is alleged to be money laundering? Okay, just try to get a conviction on that one. Officials have admitted they don’t really know what’s going on with the cell phone purchases but think something’s, just not right. Terrorists have been known to set off bombs with cell phones! Without the bombs this is really weak suggestion. The only thing that makes sense here is the reselling of the phones for simple profit. If it’s obvious that the phones can be sold for more money than these guys paid for the phones then, what’s the beef? That’s commerce, and what our entire economy is all about! Don’t get me wrong we need to watch for suspicious activities but I think watching whoever is buying fertilizer would make more sense. I think that the Arabs living in or visiting this country are a much bigger threat than the Japanese folks were that we rounded up and put in camps ...
