  • Bulletproof Backpack Video

    I’ve already mentioned that I think the idea is profit through fear mongering but am I the only one who thinks this video is distasteful?

  • Sean Lennon

    No, not John Lennon’s son.

    MySpace Rape Arrest: What Parents Can Do:

    21-year-old Sean Lennon of Ravena, New York is under arrest for the rape of a 15-year-old girl.

    It started as an e-mail exchange through MySpace dot com according to the Albany County Sheriff’s Department. They say 21 year old Sean Lennon of Ravena befriended the then 14 year old girl online. Authorities say she was clear in telling Lennon of her age but the two met anyway. The first of two sexual encounters happened in a wooded area behind the Ravena firehouse. Investigators say Lennon convinced the girl to sneak out of her house.

  • 4th suspect in Dunbar Village gang rape

    4th teen indicted in West Palm Beach gang rape of mom, son:

    18-year-old Tommy Lee Poindexter has been arrested and indicted as the fourth suspect in the horrendous Dunbar Village gang rape.

    “He has denied any involvement but the physical evidence we have from the scene speaks to the contrary,” police spokesman Peter Robbins said Friday. “We’re certainly developing more suspects and anticipate more arrests.”

    Poindexter’s mother, Harriet Rogers, 44, said her son was home with her on the night of the attack.

    “My son didn’t have anything to do with that stuff,” Rogers said.

    And a mother has never lied for her criminal son before I’m sure.

  • Henderson sentenced

    Judge sentences Richard Henderson Jr. to life in prison:

    As I predicted the jury recommended that Richard Henderson Jr.’s life should be spared. On that recommendation, Judge Diana Moreland sentenced Henderson to four life sentences. One for each of the family members he killed. Henderson will never be eligible for parole.

    I’m not surprised but I’m still disappointed. If anybody deserved the death penalty it’s Henderson. However, I get the feeling that Henderson will be a troublemaker in prison and you know what that can get you.

  • Henderson guilty

    HENDERSON FOUND GUILTY:

    It took jurors 15-hours of deliberations but in the end, they did the right thing. They saw through Richard Henderson Jr.’s excuses and convicted him of slaughtering his family.

    The five-man, seven-woman jury found Henderson guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of his father, Richard Henderson Sr., 48; his mother, Jeaneane Henderson, 42; and his grandmother, June Henderson, 82. Jurors found Henderson guilty of second-degree murder for killing his 11-year-old brother Jacob, who was attacked first.

    There was never any doubt in my mind that he wouldn’t be convicted. Now comes the hard part. The same jury will determine whether or not Henderson gets the death penalty. I’m not as sure about this. I think that now the mental illness excuse will come into play. Also, take into consideration that Henderson wants to be put to death. I think those two factors will probably result in life without parole.

    I hope I’m wrong but that’s how it will probably play out.

    And even he if he’s sentenced to death he’ll probably be old and gray before it gets carried out because of the appeals process. Not to mention that the trial was almost thrown out so I’m sure we’ll be seeing an appeal based on these grounds.

  • Order of death

    Order of Deaths Key to Wrestler’s Estate:

    The mother of Nancy Benoit, Maureen Toffoloni, has had her lawyer ask the court to determine the order of deaths of Nancy and her son Daniel. Why you may ask? Take a guess. I’ll give you a hint. It’s green, rectangular, and has the pictures of guys in powdered wigs on it.

    It’s widely believed that Chris Benoit killed his wife first and then his son. That would be bad for Ms. Toffoloni. If it’s determined that the order of deaths as they stand right now is correct Chris Benoit’s assets would belong to his two children from his previous marriage. If Nancy was killed last the assets would go to her family.

    That’s because of a forfeiture statute that takes into account the fact that Benoit was the killer. As such, the law for purposes of estate distribution would consider Benoit to have died before his wife and son.

    Chris Benoit’s living children are 14 and 10. It takes a real humanitarian to take some financial security away from them.

    Not only that but do you really think that Nancy Benoit would have allowed her only son to be killed and not have fought back?

    Say it ain’t so.

    Luckily there are enough discrepancies in Mr. Porpora’s story to keep the legend going a little while longer.

    I may have to get serious about going to Baltimore this January.

The victim has Parkinson’s and heart disease. According to Google maps from Chino to Truckee is roughly 8 hours. Laguna is looking only at a max of 26 years.

  • Henderson defense rests

    Henderson’s lawyers rest their case; rebuttal witness to testify:

    Short story even shorter.

    The defense rested yesterday.

    Henderson will not be taking the stand.

    The prosecution will be calling a rebuttal witness. One Dr. Wade Myers, a psychiatrist who will counter yesterday’s testimony by Dr. McClain.

  • Slo-N-Low

    Man faces felonies for sex with girl:

    36-year-old Daniel Dietz has been arrested for having sex with a 13-year-old girl. What makes it worse is that they were introduced by the girl’s mom.

    The girl’s mother told police she introduced her teenage daughter to Dietz at a support-group meeting she had been attending and through which the mother had become acquainted with Dietz, the documents said.

    “According to statements received from members of the support group, they observed (the girl) and Dietz playing ‘footsies’ along with other flirtatious behavior and on multiple occasions these members indicated to Dietz the behavior was not appropriate,” the documents state.

    After meeting the girl, Dietz allegedly began talking with her via the Internet.

    Dietz delivered to police his two laptop computers, which he gave the detectives permission to search. Upon reviewing Dietz’s MySpace account on which he uses the moniker “Slo-N-Low,” detectives found an Internet chat conversation between Dietz and the girl.

    In a MySpace chat on March 25, according to court documents, Dietz spoke with the teen about “sexually explicit matters.” During the conversation, Dietz allegedly asked for a photo of the teen and she complied by sending him a photo of herself with her bare chest exposed, the documents said.

    Dietz also allegedly used one of his computers to transmit a photo of his genitalia to the 13-year-old’s e-mail account, court documents allege.

    According to MySpace account records, Dietz and the teen discussed meeting and carrying out plans to engage in the sexual activity they had discussed in Internet chat conversations, court documents said.

    “During one Internet chat the two noted that they knew sexual contact between them was illegal because (the girl) was only 13 years old,” court documents state.

    Dietz spent the night at the girl’s home after fixing her computer, according to court documents, and while the teen’s mother slept, the girl performed a sex act on Dietz in the family’s kitchen.

    Court documents state the girl said she also engaged in sex acts with Dietz on other occasions at her home and at his residence.

    I bet when he’s in prison he’s going to regret using the moniker of “Slo-N-Low”.
