Headline reads: Jury finds Afghan family guilty in honor killings
EXCERPT: The prosecution presented wire taps and mobile phone records from the Shafia family in court to support their honor killing allegation. The wiretaps, which capture Shafia spewing vitriol about his dead daughters, calling them treacherous and whores and invoking the devil to defecate on their graves, were a focal point of the trial.
"There can be no betrayal, no treachery, no violation more than this," Shafia said on one recording. "Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows ... nothing is more dear to me than my honor." http://news.yahoo.com/jury-finds-afghan-family-guilty-honor-killings-202441543.html
It’s hard to be hit with tears, first thing in the morning but this story is absolutely one of the most depressing tragedies of our times. A brainwashed family, consumed in superstition and misogyny, murder 3 young girls and another older female who is part of this polygamous unit because of some flimsy ‘honor’ by the male dominator of the household. In their delusional world of religious dogma there is no empathy, only the teachings from a couple of thousand years ago. No protection, no refuge for the children born into such homes. Even the word ‘home’ sounds depraved where such twisted disciplines exist. The saddest part of this nonfiction is… it still prevails in too many places on this planet today. Misogyny cloaked in religion is rampant all over the world. Will we, as human beings ever become discerning enough to realize that Supernatural Writings from thousands of years ago do not fit into today’s reality? Not as long as religion and its leaders hinder free thought, using the often subjective word ‘sin’ as a tool to control. So very Sad! thinkingbluehttp://www.thethinkingblue.com/supernaturalwritings.html

Los Angeles jury Monday found Conrad Murray GUILTY of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
The verdict came after 8 1/2 hours of deliberation, following a six-week trial.
Murray faces as much as four years in prison when he is sentenced. The doctor was accused of causing the singer's 2009 death by giving him anesthesia and sedatives to help him sleep, and then failing to come to his aid when he was in distress. The cardiologist also has been criticized for not having emergency equipment on hand or keeping records of his treatment of the recording artist.
Murray denied any wrongdoing and his legal team suggested during the trial Jackson may have administered the fatal doses of drugs to himself when the doctor was briefly out of the room.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's (R) spokesman, plus two supporters, have now been granted immunity in the ongoing campaign finance investigation of former aides to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), from Walker's time as Milwaukee County Executive.
WisPolitics reports:
The spokesman, Cullen Werwie, also served as deputy communications director for Walker's gubernatorial campaign.
Rose Ann Dieck, a retired teacher and Milwaukee County Republican party activist, and Kenneth Lucht, a lobbyist for the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad, have also been granted immunity in matters "still under inquiry" through the secret probe, according to the judge overseeing the case.
The judge stressed that a grant of immunity "does not necessarily mean, imply or infer that those witnesses are suspected of, or guilty of, any criminal wrongdoing."

(NEWSER) – A Saudi prince who beat, strangled, and bit his servant to death in a London hotel has been found guilty of murder. Prosecutors, who showed video of the prince kicking and punching the servant inside a hotel elevator, said the savage killing was linked to sex, CNN notes. The prince, who tried and failed to gain diplomatic immunity, faces a possible life sentence in a British jail, and a possible death sentence—for homosexuality, not murder—if he is deported to Saudi Arabia.

A Saudi prince who beat and strangled his servant to death at the culmination of a campaign of "sadistic" abuse is facing a life sentence after being convicted of murder.
Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud, a grandson of the billionaire king of Saudi Arabia, was found guilty at the Old Bailey of killing Bandar Abdulaziz at their five-star hotel suite in central London.
Saud had been drinking champagne and cocktails when he bit the 32-year-old hard on both cheeks during the attack in February. The pair had just returned from a Valentine's night out.
The 34-year-old prince was found guilty of murder today after the jury had deliberated for an hour and 35 minutes. He showed no reaction as the verdict was returned.
The court had heard that the murder of Abdulaziz was the final act in a "deeply abusive" master-servant relationship in which the prince carried out frequent attacks on his aide "for his own personal gratification".
Jurors were told that by the early hours of 15 February, Abdulaziz was so worn down and injured – having suffered a "cauliflower" ear and swollen eye from previous assaults – that he let Saud kill him without a fight.
The prince then spent hours on the phone to a mysterious contact in Saudi Arabia trying to decide how to cover up what he had done.
He ordered two glasses of milk and bottled water on room service as he set about dragging the body into the bed and trying to clean up the blood.
It was only about 12 hours later, after a chauffeur had received a call from Saudi Arabia telling him to go to the £259-a-night Landmark hotel, that the body was discovered in room 312.
The prince claimed he had woken in the afternoon to find he could not revive his friend – by then stiff with rigor mortis – and explained his injuries by saying he had been attacked and robbed of €3,000 in London's Edgware Road a few weeks before.
Detectives took him to the area to try to retrace the route, but as they did so, other officers who were reviewing CCTV at the hotel found footage of Saud mercilessly attacking his aide in a lift on 22 January.
When he was then taken to Paddington Green police station and arrested, Saudi officials tried to claim he had diplomatic immunity, but this was scotched by a check of Foreign Office records.
Saud tried to cover up the true nature of his relationship with his servant, claiming they were "friends and equals", but a porter at the Marylebone hotel where they had stayed said Abdulaziz was treated "like a slave".
The prince also claimed he was heterosexual and had a girlfriend in Saudi Arabia, but he had booked appointments with at least two male escorts and one gay masseur, and looked at hundreds of images of men on gay websites.
Photographs of Abdulaziz in "compromising" positions were found on his phone.
Saud had denied killing his servant until shortly before the trial, before finally admitting that he had caused his death. Jurors rejected a claim by his barrister, John Kelsey-Fry QC, that Saud was guilty only of manslaughter.
The prince was convicted of murder and a second count of grievous bodily harm with intent relating to the attack in the lift.
Sources said detectives in the case had received little help after requests for information were sent through Interpol to their Saudi colleagues.
Saud's lawyers also failed in a last-ditch attempt to stop details of his encounters with male escorts being revealed during the trial. In a sign of the anxiety about his sexuality becoming public, the prince's lawyers had initially argued that the legal argument about the escorts should be held behind closed doors.
Kelsey-Fry said Saud had already faced abuse from Islamic fundamentalists being held alongside him at Belmarsh prison. The court heard that homosexuality remains a capital offence in Saudi Arabia, and the country in which the acts take place has little relevance to prosecution under the country's sharia law.
Outside court, Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane said: "The defendant used his position of power, money and authority over his victim Bandar to abuse him over an extended period of time.
"CCTV recovered clearly shows Bandar was subjected to assaults in the hotel. The injuries which were noted by the pathologist clearly show Bandar was the victim of many more assaults over an extended period of time. This verdict clearly shows no-one, regardless of their position, is above the law."
Saud was remanded in custody to be sentenced tomorrow.

Former middle school teacher, Steve Kutzner, 33, of Meridian, Idaho, has pleaded guilty to downloading more than 70 pornographic cartoon images on his computer, many of them depicting child characters from The Simpsons.
Kutzner immediately resigned and entered a guilty plea, after a search warrant led to the discovery of the graphic images. Kutzner is scheduled to be sentenced in January of 2011. He faces 10 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
As Comic Book Guy might say, Worst. Guilty Plea. Ever (probably thinking of his own undiscovered X-rated Mary Worth images).

After almost four days of trial, a federal jury deliberated for less than two hours Thursday before finding two former Fayette County Detention Center workers guilty of charges relating to abusing prisoners and trying to cover it up.
Clarence McCoy, a former deputy jailer, and John McQueen, a former sergeant assigned to the third-shift prisoner intake unit, were found guilty on all counts in U.S. District Court on Thursday.
McQueen was convicted of one count each of conspiracy to deprive rights under color of law, falsifying records with intent to obstruct investigation, tampering with a witness, and two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law.
McCoy was convicted of one count each of conspiracy to deprive rights under color of law, deprivation of rights, and falsifying records, with two counts of aiding and abetting other officers in abusive acts.
The falsifying records and tampering with a witness charges each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The conspiracy to deprive rights and deprivation of rights charges each carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The two were allowed to stay free on bond until sentencing Aug. 31.
Three other jail workers who were originally indicted in the case entered guilty pleas last year. Former Lt. Kristine Lafoe, Sgt. Anthony Estep, and deputy jailer Scott Tyree all accepted plea deals in May.
The charges stemmed from reports that jail officials assaulted pre-trial detainees — people being held following an arrest but prior to conviction. On several occasions, the jailers slammed detainees' heads onto the triage counter in the prisoner intake area or otherwise assaulted or planned to assault them, according to court records.
Records said the acts occurred when prisoners were not "resisting or posing a threat to any officer."
The men then wrote false reports or failed to file reports about the incidents; they took place in 2006, court records said.
"The justice system did its job in this case, which dates back to 2006," Mayor Jim Newberry said in a statement. "During my administration we have not had additional charges of abuse at the jail thanks in part to changes we have made concerning intake and video monitoring."
Attorneys began closing arguments around 1 p.m. Thursday.
Defense attorney Andrew Stephens told the court much of the evidence they saw over the course of the trial, including surveillance video of the assaults, had been taken out of context.
Each of those videos, Stephens argued, showed the incident but not the events leading up to it. In one case, he said, an inmate had tried to get out of his handcuffs, potentially freeing him to attack officers. In another, a prisoner who looked "frail" on video had earlier escaped from a police cruiser, showing he was not as helpless as he looked, Stephens said.
"It is a signal: 'Watch out for this guy,' he said. "He was a risk."
Pam Ledgewood, another attorney for the defendants, said use of force by the officers was in response to perceived threats; she said inmates often bit, spat on, kicked and verbally abused officers.
In that environment, she said, "is it shocking ... that the slightest twitch, the slightest movement, becomes a threat?"
However, prosecutor Jared Fishman of the U.S. Department of Justice said the use of force was not justified in McQueen's and McCoy's case.
"These people were assaulted after any threat was over," Fishman said. He acknowledged that some of the prisoners' rights were given up after an arrest, but that no one loses the right "to be free from unlawful abuse."
The videos presented to the jury were "snapshots of an overall picture of the way things were done," Fishman said. "They were part of a culture of abuse."
That incident reports were often falsified or written in code was proof, Fishman said, of a conspiracy at the jail to cover up prisoner abuse.
Ledgewood denied that code words in incident reports were placed there as part of a conspiracy, but rather as shorthand.
"In all jobs, we all speak in codes," she said.

From The Examiner
Martin Luther King’s family and his attorney, William F. Pepper, won a civil trial that found US government agencies guilty in the wrongful death of Martin Luther King. The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators, is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King. The King family’s attempts for a criminal trial were denied, as suspect James Ray’s recant of what he claimed was a false confession was denied.
The overwhelming evidence of government complicity introduced and agreed as comprehensively valid by the jury includes the 111th Military Intelligence Group were sent to Dr. King’s location and that the usual police protection was pulled away just before the assassination. Military Intelligence set-up alleged photographers on a roof of a fire station with a clear view to Dr. King’s balcony. 20th Special Forces Group had an 8-man sniper team at the assassination location on that day. Memphis police ordered the scene where multiple witnesses reported as the source of shooting cut down of their bushes that would have hid a sniper team. Along with sanitizing a crime scene, police abandoned investigative procedure to interview witnesses who lived by the scene of the shooting.
The King Center, managed by his family, provide the outline and partial transcript to the trial here. Closing statements are here. A transcript of a talk given by Mr. Pepper explaining the trial and his book with detailed documentation, An Act of State, is here (2-page summary here). I also recommend David Ratcliffe’s review of the book, Jim Douglass’ coverage of the trial, reviewing Edward Rynearson’s resources, and watching Mr. Pepper’s talk on the subject below. I also suggest Robert Kennedy’s assassination was also a government-supported assassination to suppress war dissent.
King’s family and Mr. Pepper allege that Dr. King’s speech calling upon America to end the Vietnam War, Beyond Vietnam: A time to break silence, and his plan for a 500,000 camp-in for Washington, D.C. in the summer of 1968 were a threat to dominant and fascist political factions within US government.
Along with arranging for the assassination, CIA and military disclosure confirm that corporate media collude with political “leadership” to disinform the American public on strategic military, policy, and economic issues. This answers the question why corporate media have not covered the civil trial and verdict for MLK’s assassination. For comparison, please consider the media circus over O.J. Simpson’s trials.
“For a quarter of a century, Bill Pepper conducted an independent investigation of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. He opened his files to our family, encouraged us to speak with the witnesses, and represented our family in the civil trial against the conspirators. The jury affirmed his findings, providing our family with a long-sought sense of closure and peace, which had been denied by official disinformation and cover-ups. Now the findings of his exhaustive investigation and additional revelations from the trial are presented in the pages of this important book. We recommend it highly to everyone who seeks the truth about Dr. King’s assassination.” — Coretta Scott King, Dr. King’s wife.
Hundreds of writers have documented US corporate media collusion with US government to disinform the American public with wars and supporting policy of fascism. Corporate media’s refusal to cover this trial and report upon it is a revealing case study.From The Examiner

JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - A 38-year-old mother is in jail after allegedly holding and taking part in sex parties for teenagers. It is a case that officials in southern Indiana call "sickening."
Prosecutors in Clark County, IN say Mary Dennis took advantage of the classmates of her own children. Dennis is accused of providing alcohol for the kids and then allegedly having sex with at least seven minors, including oral sex with a 15-year-old.
According to prosecutors, they found out after the teens, who attend Silver Creek High School, started talking about Dennis and her parties. They say the news got around and Dennis was reported to Child Protective Services.
Dennis' own 13-year-old daughter told police she walked by her mother's bedroom at one point, and saw her having sex with a boy while two others watched. A 17-year-old boy told police he had a two-month relationship with Dennis. Prosecutors say Dennis admitted having oral sex with two different teens and said it was because she was going through a "crazy time in her life" and a rough divorce.
"I've been a prosecutor for over a decade now and, unfortunately, I still get amazed by some of the things that I see some people do," said Jeremy Mull, Clark County Chief Deputy Prosecutor. "And this is one of those cases where it's just really hard to believe what she was doing."
Mull says parents have so much to worry about with their children that one of the last things they should not have to worry about is their child going over to the home of a classmate and being victimized by the classmate's parent.
The legal age of consent in Indiana is 16, but Dennis still faces two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor in the case of the 15-year-old and charges of neglect of a dependent.
Even though Dennis is cooperating with authorities and allegedly admitted to the crimes, Paige Gabhart, her attorney, told us his client is innocent until proven guilty.
Dennis is being held in the Clark County Jail on $50,000 bond. She currently has a trial date set for September.JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - A 38-year-old mother is in jail after allegedly holding... more

Eraelia Glisson, 35-year-old Former Bobby Sox League softball coach has pleaded no contest yesterday to charges of unlawful intercourse with a minor, possession of child pornography, and possession of a controlled substance.
The conviction carries a possible sentence of four years and four months in prison and registration as a sex offender.
Glisson's no contest plea means that she did not admit guilt, but offered no defense. The plea carries the same punishment as if she pleaded guilty or was convicted.
Back in 2007 Glisson was arrested for allegedly hosting a party in which 14- and 15-year-old girls were allowed to drink alcohol. Glisson was then charged with child endangerment, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and hosting a party that provided alcohol to minors.
In October 2007, Glisson pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 90 days in jail and three years of probation.
Some time later Glisson was arrested again -- this time on charges stemming from alleged sex with a 16-year-old.
Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Hulsey said Glisson faces violations of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, oral copulation with a minor, and charges related to child pornography.
Sentencing is scheduled for March 3 before Superior Court Judge Terrence Duncan.Eraelia Glisson, 35-year-old Former Bobby Sox League softball coach has pleaded no... more
