PROSECUTOR TO JUDGE: WE WANT RILEY CHOATE'S DNA

EVIL?
TRAGIC
RILEY Choate's DNA is being sought by prosecutor's working on the horrific murder of his 13-year-old son. Christian Choate's battered body was found in a shallow grave near his home on the Gary, IN, trailer park where he was allegedly kept in a dog cage and horribly abused by his father and stepmother Kimberly Kubina.
The tragic 13-year-old wrote "I want to die" in a diary, within weeks of his tragic life being cut short.
Now, Deputy Prosecutor Michael Wood is asking Criminal Court Judge Diane Boswell's permission to collect genetic material with a cotton swab from the mouth of 39-year-old Riley, who is pleading not guilty to murder.
Choate's defense attorney Randy Godshalk said: "I presume they are trying to establish a DNA match between Riley and Christian Choate. It's kind of a standard request."
He told the NWI Times  said state law gives him little leeway to oppose the DNA evidence collection from his client.
Choate is set to appear in court for a variety of pretrial motions, including a request by the prosecution for his handwriting sample and a defense motion for a independent autopsy to investigate the medical cause of the victim's death.
The coroner's office states Christian died in early 2009 of blunt force trauma and a skull fracture.
Godshalk is asking the court to dismiss the case against his client on grounds the charges are too vague regarding the time and other details of the boy's death.
Kubina Choate also is pleading not guilty.

CITIZEN'S CANE TRACKS DOWN PURSE SNATCHERS

LOWEST OF THE LOW
A CITIZEN'S cane helped cops track down a pair of purse snatchers after she used it to whack their car when they made their getaway.
Cops in New Castle, PA, said the dents left in the car by the 89-year-old woman helped them track down the vehicle and bust the crooks.
Police Chief Thomas Sansone says the 89-year-old and her 82-year-old friend were accosted outside a pizza shop Sunday, by 27-year-old Jerry Brown Jr who grabbed the purse.
But before he could get away the older woman whacked the car's trunk, so when officers found the car with the dents matching the shape of the cane they knew they had their man.    
So they arrested Brown and 21-year-old Tatiana Vargas and jailed them on robbery charges and on warrants for unrelated crimes.

PROMISED KINKY SEX, THEN TORTURED LOVE CHEAT BEAU

HELL HATH NO FURY
SHE PROMISED him kinky sex and handcuffed him to bed, but then when Sabrina Renee Robinson had him where she wanted him she turned violent and took heavy revenge for him cheating on her. 
Smashing him in the face with the butt of a shotgun, she repeatedly threatened to kill him, and promised to "gut him like a deer." 
Needless to say, her 41-year-old fella, who later admitted his infidelity to cops, might think twice before he cheats again. 
Madera County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Erica Stuart told
the LA Times it was; “a case of a woman scorned. Hell hath no fury.”    
 Initially, Stuart said, Robinson told her boyfriend she wanted to engage in “something kinky.”
But after placing handcuffs on the victim, Robinson allegedly turned violent, burning him with candle wax and punching him the head and body.
Pulling out a knife she told him “this is the same type of knife I skin deer with."
Then she called up her love rival on the phone and cops said that the other woman, could hear the man screaming in the background. 
The victim managed to escape after being left alone and was found cowering naked in nearby bushes.
Officers seized handcuffs, leg restraints, ammunition, a shotgun and a knife from her home and booked her on suspicion of making terrorist threats, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment and corporal injury.





Case against DSK falling apart, accuser lied about rape in the past


I doubted this woman’s claim from the beginning when mostly every woman I knew believed her.

It was a wild tale that didn’t pass the smell test. But, it had the ingredients Libs love—downtrodden Black woman against a rich White gut.

I guess nobody in the media learned a lesson from Duke University case. For Libs it’s all about the template.



New York Times

The sexual assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn is on the verge of collapse as investigators have uncovered major holes in the credibility of the housekeeper who charged that he attacked her in his Manhattan hotel suite in May, according to two well-placed law enforcement officials.

Although forensic tests found unambiguous evidence of a sexual encounter between Mr. Strauss-Kahn, a French politician, and the woman, prosecutors now do not believe much of what the accuser has told them about the circumstances or about herself.

Since her initial allegation on May 14, the accuser has repeatedly lied, one of the law enforcement officials said.

Senior prosecutors met with lawyers for Mr. Strauss-Kahn on Thursday and provided details about their findings, and the parties are discussing whether to dismiss the felony charges. Among the discoveries, one of the officials said, are issues involving the asylum application of the 32-year-old housekeeper, who is Guinean, and possible links to people involved in criminal activities, including drug dealing and money laundering.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers will return to State Supreme Court in Manhattan on Friday morning, when Justice Michael J. Obus is expected to consider easing the extraordinary bail conditions that he imposed on Mr. Strauss-Kahn in the days after he was charged.

Indeed, Mr. Strauss-Kahn could be released on his own recognizance, and freed from house arrest, reflecting the likelihood that the serious charges against him will not be sustained. The district attorney’s office may try to require Mr. Strauss-Kahn to plead guilty to a misdemeanor, but his lawyers are likely to contest such a move.

The revelations are a stunning change of fortune for Mr. Strauss-Kahn, 62, who was considered a strong contender for the French presidency before being accused of sexually assaulting the woman who went to clean his luxury suite at the Sofitel New York.

Prosecutors from the office of the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., who initially were emphatic about the strength of the case and the account of the victim, plan to tell the judge on Friday that they “have problems with the case” based on what their investigators have discovered, and will disclose more of their findings to the defense. The woman still maintains that she was attacked, the officials said.

“It is a mess, a mess on both sides,” one official said.

PARIS HILTON'S KNIFE WIELDING THIEF GETS 2 YEARS

MADMAN
TERRIFIED
THE KNIFE wielding thief who left Paris Hilton "terrified" when he tried to break into her LA pad has been sentenced to two-years behind bars.
Armed with two deadly blade Nathan Lee Parada banged on her window as he attempted to break in, but he was foiled by the celebutard's then boyfriend, baseball player Cy Waits, who stopped him before he could get in, by holding him at gunpoint.
At the time the star tweeted: "So Scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes. Cops are here arresting him."

Parada reportedly told police he planned to steal as much as he could carry and move to a deserted island.
The 32-year-old's attorney argued that his client had not taken his antidepressant medication for days before his arrest. 
So Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Kellogg recommended during Wednesday's hearing that Parada undergo mental health counseling in addition to his 2-year prison sentence.

JAMES 'WHITEY' BULGER GETS PUBLIC DEFENDER

TOO POOR?
FORMER mob king pin James 'Whitey' Bulger is to get a public defender for his multiple murder trial, because he can't afford to pay for his own lawyer, a court ruled yesterday.
Despite being caught with more than $800,000 in cash, when his Santa Monica apartment was busted last week, the taxpayer will fund his defense.
His provisional attorney Peter Krupp, said authorities have seized all of Bulger's assets as the proceeds of illegal activity, leaving him with no way to pay for his defense.
And although prosecutors argued that his family including his brother and former Massachusetts Senate president, William Bulger could pay, he said no relatives had come forward and offered to help him financially.
A former member of the Boston underworld said: "Whitey's bound to have cash stashed away somewhere, but he's not going to make it easy for them. If they want to try him, he's going to make them pay through the nose for it."
Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler however agreed that the one time leader of Boston's notorious Winter Hill Gang couldn't afford a defense lawyer.
She said: "I find at this time that the defendant is unable to retain counsel privately."
So she appointed J.W. Carney Jr., a prominent Boston defense attorney, to represent him.
Carney has represented a long list of high-profile defendants, including John Salvi III, who was convicted of killing two people and wounding five others in a shooting rampage at two Planned Parenthood clinics in Brookline, Mass., in 1994.
He also represents Tarek Mehanna, a Sudbury man now awaiting trial in an alleged terror plot to shoot shoppers at U.S. malls, assassinate two politicians and kill American troops in Iraq.
Bulger, the former leader of the Winter Hill Gang, is accused of participating in 19 murders during his decades as one of Boston's most notorious gangsters.
Carney said it is too early to say whether he will ask for the trial to be moved out of Boston.

CASEY ANTHONY 'TOO UNRELIABLE' FOR THE STAND

TOO UNRELIABLE
CASEY Anthony's defense lawyers spent hours deliberating whether to put her on the stand but ultimately decided against allowing her to testify because she was "to unreliable."
A insider close to the legal team, led by Jose Baez said they thought long and hard and spent hours training their client for  possible last minute testimony, they felt that she may jeopardize their case too much if allowed to speak.
When the defense announced that they were going to be resting their case without putting Casey on the stand Judge Belvin Perry took a moment to ask the Florida mother if it was her decision not to testify.
"It was," she said, adding that she has had time to discuss the matter with her attorneys.
The source revealed: "Ultimately they decided that Casey was too much of a liability to be allowed into the witness box. She was just too unreliable."
"They knew that given half a chance the prosecution would tear into her and under pressure she may well have cracked, causing immeasurable damage to their case."
Instead Baez called Cindy and George Anthony to the stand for a fourth time, this time to ask them about the family's pet burial traditions reports WKMG.
Both admitted they had in the past, buried pets after their deaths in plastic bags wrapped with duct tape.
Two-year-old Caylee's body was found in a similar fashion.
