"Cannibal-plot case tossed; ex-cop gets out of jail" Associated Press July 02, 2014
NEW YORK — A former New York Police Department officer left jail on Tuesday after a judge stunned prosecutors and overturned his conviction in a sensational case accusing him of plotting on the Internet to kidnap, kill, and eat young women, including his wife.
I now view this as a deliberate psyop and deception meant to advance the agenda in favor of control and censorship of the Internet, especially when you say eat the rich or sauté a banker.
Judge Paul Gardephe ruled late Monday that there was insufficient evidence to support a jury’s guilty verdict in the kidnapping conspiracy conviction of Gilberto Valle, 40. He agreed with defense arguments that the defendant’s bizarre exchanges in fetish chat rooms about cannibalizing women never put anyone in danger.
As much as I was unhappy with the verdict, I'm even unhappier about a dictatorial judge.
Valle’s ‘‘depraved, misogynistic sexual fantasies about his wife, former college classmates, and acquaintances undoubtedly reflected a mind diseased,’’ the judge wrote. But, he added, prosecutors failed to prove he had entered into genuine agreements to kidnap the women.
If this is all as reported and true, I think the guy should be executed. Let's just execute all the scum and let God sort it out.
At a hearing Tuesday, Valle — dubbed the ‘‘Cannibal Cop’’ by the tabloids — smiled at his family and hugged his lawyers. ‘‘I want to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone I hurt, shocked, and offended with my infantile behavior,’’ he said.
That would make me feel uncomfortable.
Valle ‘‘is guilty of nothing more than very unconventional thoughts,’’ said one of his attorneys, Julia Gatto.
The judge set bail at $100,000 and ordered home detention in Queens for the defendant after prosecutors told him they intended to appeal his ruling.

"Ex-officer charged in women’s deaths in Wis." Associated Press July 04, 2014
ELKHORN, Wis. — A former police officer charged with dumping two bodies hidden in suitcases along a rural Wisconsin highway said he killed the women during separate meetings at hotels to have rough sex, a detective testified Thursday.
Steven Zelich, a 52-year-old security officer, has been charged with two counts of hiding a corpse in Walworth County, where the suitcases were found June 5 by highway workers cutting grass. Authorities there have said they expect homicide charges to be filed in the counties where the women died, but Zelich’s public defender, Travis Schwantes, said Thursday in court that the deaths were accidents that may not merit additional charges.
Judge Phillip Koss disagreed, saying hiding the bodies, first in Zelich’s home and car and then in tall grass along the road, indicated Zelich knew a crime had occurred.
‘‘If there’s purely no crime, I’m not sure why one doesn’t call 911 immediately, but beyond that, if there’s no crime, it’s not clear why these need to be hid at all,’’ Koss said as he ordered Zelich held for trial on the hiding corpse charges.
Walworth County Sheriff’s Detective Jeffrey Recknagel testified that Zelich told him that he met both women in online chat rooms, set up dates for sex at hotels, and killed the women after bondage sessions.
I'm so glad I've lived such a boring life.
Jenny Gamez, a 19-year-old college student from Cottage Grove, Ore., spent several days with Zelich at a hotel in Kenosha County, Wis., before he killed her in 2012, Recknagel said.
She was with a 50-year-old man for sex? That's sick.
Zelich had long been a suspect in the disappearance of Laura Simonson, 37, of Farmington, Minn., because police knew they had checked into a hotel together on Nov. 2 and Zelich left alone the next day. But when police searched Zelich’s apartment in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis in January, they turned up no sign of Simonson. By then, according to a criminal complaint, both bodies may have been in Zelich’s car.

"Officer in Chicago torture case keeps pension"Associated Press July 04, 2014
CHICAGO — An imprisoned former Chicago police commander accused of overseeing the torture of dozens of men — almost all of them black — to coerce confessions will keep his $3,000-a-month pension under a decision Thursday by the Illinois Supreme Court.
Crime does pay when you are official authority.
The justices ruled 4 to 3 that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan cannot challenge a police pension board vote preserving the payments to former police lieutenant Jon Burge. The court said allowing the challenge would be a ‘‘fundamental change’’ to the state’s pension process.
Madigan said she was ‘‘extremely disappointed’’ in the decision to ‘‘allow a torturer and convicted felon to receive his taxpayer-funded pension.’’
She did not immediately say if she would appeal to the Supreme Court.
Burge, perhaps the Chicago police force’s most infamous officer, is serving a 4½-year sentence in federal prison after being convicted of perjury in connection with testimony he gave in a civil case involving torture allegations.
More than 100 men have accused Burge and the officers under his command of shocking, suffocating, and beating them into giving false confessions during the 1970s and 1980s. The decorated former commander, now 66, has never been criminally charged with abuse.
What you begin to realize is it has always been AmeriKan Ju$tice.
The scandal has dogged the city for decades — in large part because of multimillion dollar settlements that the City Council has approved, each one accompanied by angry comments by aldermen about the fact that the city is forced to pay Burge’s pension.
All told, the scandal has cost the city more than $100 million.
Meaning service-deprived taxpayers had to foot the bill for that and the torturing cops pension.

"9 killed, dozens hurt in Ill. shootings" Associated Press July 08, 2014
CHICAGO — Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Monday that shootings over the Fourth of July weekend left at least nine people dead and more than 50 injured.
In the city with the toughest gun control laws in the country.
Eight of the shootings involved police, McCarthy said.
Who did they kill?
At a news conference, McCarthy said investigations were continuing but officers who fired their weapons all appeared to be justified.
That's a knee-jerk blanket statement always thrown out at first.
The shootings included those in which two teenagers were fatally shot and another in which police shot at a man who tried to run them over with a car. McCarthy said Chicago is still on pace to end the year with fewer homicides than last year. But he said the number of shootings is up slightly over last year.
In New York City, police officials on Monday reassigned 313 officers previously working desk jobs and other duties to conduct foot patrols in high-crime neighborhoods.
Police said they were taking the action as part of an initiative dubbed Operation Summer All Out. They said the officers will be reassigned to 90-day stints in 10 precincts and five public housing divisions that have the most shootings.
Police Commissioner William Bratton said overall crime in the city is down about 3 percent compared with this time last year, but shootings have surged.
Meanwhile, cops are flooding the subway.
At least they found the baby!

The fact that the gun-grabbing media didn't run with this indicates state-sanctioned murder by cops.

From what else I saw Keolis got off to a rough start after the transfer and transition. Must be the karma. Safer than a bike, though. Thankfully it is a better world with a housing boom if you take a good look you can $ee the wealthy helping out Mom and Pop. I took a shot and tried to nurse it, but I gave up. Too many briefs that I find boring.
