Samantha Geimer

Polanski was arrested for the crime, and he had pleaded guilty to 1 count of having sex with a minor. However, by the time his sentencing came around, he had fled the country. Polanski lived in France for a long time, and then Zurich for a bit. He has lived in countries that do not have an extradition treaty with the United States. This means that the country is not responsible for arresting him and sending him back to the U.S. for sentencing.

The Victim, Samantha Geimer, now 46 doesn’t want Polanski to have to serve any more time. She is “Happy” that Polanski was freed from house arrest by the Swiss government. Back in 1997, Geimer even publicly forgave Polanski of his crimes.

According to Geimer, during trial, the judge was corrupt and dishonest. She said, “(Polanski) served his time and he did everything he was asked to do. We had a corrupt judge who was being dishonest. He had no reason to trust the system was going to work for him, and I’ve been so much more damaged by the court system and by the media than by him.”

Geimer believes that all of the media attention brought on her during the trial, and right after the incident occurred was worse than the actual crime itself. She believes that Polanski has received a punishment and should now be able to go on living a normal life.

“If people want to protect children, then right now there are children being trafficked online, in classified ads. They should do something about things happening now. Going after Roman Polanski doesn’t protect anybody. It just distracts maybe from more important things,” explained Geimer.

Polanski is now 76 years old, and still is not allowed to visit any country which has an extradition treaty with the U.S. If he does, he will be shipped back to be sentenced.

What do you think? Should Polanski be forgiven for his crimes?

Gunbroker Website

Lewis reportedly stole Guns, Motorcycle parts, Jewelry, saddles, a welding machine, electronics, and cash from dozens homes, mostly in Rogers County. This merchandise was sold on popular auction website eBay, as well as a Gun Broker website called Gunbroker. Gunbroker.com is a website that allows for the sale of guns, ammunition, vehicles, gear and more.

Lewis does not appear to be alone in the crimes. Patrick and Karri Medlin were also arrested, because much of the stolen merchandise was discovered in their home.

Rogers County Sherriff Scott Walton said, “We know these are very active thugs that continue to victimize people, Rogers County, as well as surrounding counties and use the internet to market these items.”

According to Scott Walton, Gunbroker and eBay were the two main websites used to sell the stolen merchandise, but there may be more as well.

The Sheriff’s department says that there may be more arrests to come.

Hoonah, Alaska

“The families was there: the mother of Tony and the wife and two children of Matt. They were good friends, they were visiting on the street when it happened,” said Hoonah Mayor Windy Skaflestad.

Hoonah is a very small village less than 50 miles to the west of Alaska’s Capital Juneau. It has a population of under 1000 people, and only covers 6.6 square miles of land. After the shooting, the town only has 2 officers left on their force. They are expected to bring other officers in from other towns.

There still isn’t any motive known for the shootings, but John Marvin has had a run in with police before, when he tried to take officer Wallace’s gun. An investigation is under way.

Michael Enright

Michael Enright was arraigned on Wednesday afternoon for second-degree attempted murder as a hate crime, first-degree assault as a hate crime, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Enright, 21 will be held without bail.

Enright got into a cab at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday night in New York. He was visibly drunk when entering the cab. He proceeded to ask cab driver Ahmed H. Sharif if he was a Muslim. When Sharif answered, “Yes”, Enright stabbed him several times with a utility knife.

This horrendous hate crime was committed by someone who is known as a “good student”, and “nice guy”. Enright had been working on a film about his friend who is a Marine in Afghanistan. You can watch the film trailer below. It is entitled “Home of the Brave”.

There is tragic news coming from the Philippines today. An ex-police officer by the name of Rolando Mendoza, armed with an M16 rifle entered a bus in Manila last night. There were at least 24 Chinese tourists on the bus, but Mendoza let 9 of them go as he bargained with Police. He apparently demanded his former job back, that he had lost for extortion and robbery back in 2008.

Police had hoped to have a peaceful end to the standoff, but when Mendoza decided to open fire on the passengers, they had to storm the bus. After all was said and done, the hostage standoff ended with several people dead. It is believed that 7 passengers were killed, and 8 people made if off alive out of the 15 remaining passengers on the bus. However, these numbers have not been confirmed, and there are conflicting reports.

Police ended up shooting and killing Rolando Mendoza, 55, to end the standoff.

Saira Banu, a Telugu film actress, who has been a hot commodity in the film industry, has reportedly been arrested for prostitution this morning in Hyderabad, India. She was one of 8 women caught with clients by the police.

Saira Banu, also known as Saira Bano, has played a lead role in few Telugu films. This is not the first time Banu has been arrested for prostitution. She was also arrested back in 2009 in Hyderabad’s Tarnaka area.

John McCluskey & Casslyn Welch in Custody

The two criminals liked to compare themselves to Bonnie and Clyde. They are accused of murdering a couple in New Mexico, and face several related charges.

A forest ranger in Arizona apparently found them when he went to investigate an unoccupied fire in the forest. Upon seeing them, he recognized their faces, and called the police. Several armed officers approached McCluskey while he was sleeping in his tent. He later told authorities that he had a gun in the tent with him, and would have shot them if he was given the opportunity.

Bonnie and Clyde would have been ashamed of these two violent criminals.

Yesterday we heard news of an attack on Tila Tequila at the Gathering of the Juggalos Festival in Illinois. A lot of people wrote in to us saying that they don’t believe Tila Tequila was really attacked, and that it was just another stunt for publicity put on by the drama queen.

We heard that Miss Tequila had filed a report with the Harden County Sheriff, but many people believed it was based on false accusations.

Today we have some evidence of the assault on video. A Youtube user by the screen name of buckinray18 may be the one to help Tila get justice on her attackers.

The video doesn’t show any evidence of who was throwing the bottles, feces, fireworks, etc. that Tila Tequila claimed to have had thrown at her, but it does show one man trying to attack her on stage. Whether this evidence will be enough for arrests to be made, is not known. At least it puts the doubters minds at ease though. Looks like Tila was telling the truth about the assault after all.

Francisco Rodriguez

There is no information regarding what the argument was about, but it’s not the first time Rodriguez has been in a physical altercation this season. Earlier in the season, he got in a shoving match with bullpen coach Randy Niemann.

The Mets currently hold an option on the contract of Rodriguez for next season, but now seem unlikely to offer him a long term contract extension.

Rodriguez is 4-2 with a 2.24 ERA and 25 saves this season.

Police uncover grow operation

On the morning of May 12, 2010, a 2008 Club Car golf cart was stolen from Dale Brunt’s business in Monroe, Michigan. The cart in-question was equipped with a Smart Tracker GPS tracking device that had been previously purchased from Rocky Mountain Tracking, Inc. Upon noticing that the cart was missing, Brunt immediately contacted Rocky Mountain Tracking.

Using the Smart Tracker’s location software, Rocky Mountain Tracking technical support expert, Travis Torgerson, was able to locate the stolen cart. After locating the cart, Brunt immediately alerted law enforcement authorities. Police tracked the stolen golf cart to a Michigan residence where the cart was discovered — along with a marijuana grow-op, and other stolen items, said Brunt.

Rocky Mountain Tracking President, Brad Borst, told press that, “Mr. Brunt’s proactive decision to install the Smart Tracker on his golf carts is not only rewarding; his action has apparently solved a serious crime spree.” Brunt’s decision to purchase 30 Smart Trackers for his golf cart fleet was spawned by three previous thefts.

After researching GPS tracker devices online, Brunt discovered that the Smart Tracker had an on-demand option, which would allow him to equip his entire golf cart fleet with GPS tracking devices without paying a hefty monthly fee. He also liked the idea that the Smart Tracker has a “geo-fence” option.

Even though Brunt did not activate the geo-fence option at the time that his cart was stolen, all of Brunt’s carts have now been geo-fenced. With this technology in place, Brunt will be alerted via text if any of his carts are stolen in the future.

Brunt believes that the Smart Tracker was the “perfect way to solve (his) problem.” The Smart Tracker “worked way beyond (his) expectations.” As for the grow-op that the Smart Tracker led police to, authorities are still working on the investigation.

Rocky Mountain Tracking, Inc. is a leading GPS tracking company. With more than 40,000 GPS tracking devices sold, Rocky Mountain Tracking has become one of the most trusted names in the GPS tracking industry.
