Pondering over morning coffee....

 

 

 

 

".......Former Hamtramck Police Chief Jamiel Altaheri, a Muslim of Yemeni descent, was accused in a whistleblower lawsuit of hitting and punching the mother of his child on multiple occasions and pressuring responding officers not to formally document the incidents, telling an officer: “You guys here in Michigan don’t handle things the correct way; you guys make everything formal.”

The lawsuit says his partner accused him of punching her in the stomach and hitting her with a shower curtain, while another confrontation left her fingernail ripped off.

A separate 59-page investigation into Altaheri found evidence supporting other serious misconduct allegations: driving a city vehicle while intoxicated, asking an evidence technician to wipe his phone after he was suspended, improperly recovering a stolen Mercedes for a friend and giving a loaded gun to a civilian volunteer while telling her to point it at someone’s head.

Altaheri previously served with the NYPD, co-founded the NYPD Muslim Officers Society and the Yemeni American Law Enforcement Officers Association, and later became Hamtramck’s first Muslim police chief."

 I think the last line is the most important one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember seeing this when the outrage was that they were bringing 1200+ young, fighting aged men to this village to house them...  now it's apparently over 3500?  What could go wrong....?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I honestly think this was a set up - done only for clicks so she could go viral and make money.  But still... it's worth thinking about and pondering for a bit.

Heather Jackson’s Murder: Where is Curtis Clinton Now?

He had spent a lot of time behind bars. In fact, Curtis had been released from prison only six months before the killings. A convicted sex offender, he was out on parole after spending 13 years in prison for strangling a woman to death in another city in Ohio. He had pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter at the time. Earlier in September 2012, Curtis had also raped and choked a 17-year-old who later testified at the trial. Curtis was charged with three counts of aggravated murder and one count of rape.

It had then come to light that Curtis had gone to Heather’s place to celebrate her moving into the new house, after which he had killed the three of them by choking them. He had also raped 3-year-old Celina. 

Curtis’ white Cadillac was caught on neighborhood surveillance cameras. A white Cadillac was also identified in the other rape case. In November 2013, Curtis was tried for the murders of Heather, Celina, and Wayne Jr., along with the rape of the 17-year-old together. A jury convicted Curtis and sentenced him to death.

Where is Curtis Clinton Now?

Curtis Clinton, upon learning that he was being given the death penalty, didn’t seem apologetic or remorseful. He only said that he would win his appeal. “I don’t respect the prosecutor,” he said. “Like I said, I will be back again.”

In September 2018, Curtis’ lawyers filed a motion to have his execution stayed until he could exhaust all his options to overturn the death penalty. While he was scheduled to be executed on September 15, 2021, the court granted his motion for the delay to a later date. As per prison records, Curtis is incarcerated at Chillicothe Correctional Institution in Chillicothe, Ohio. 

 

Pondering over afternoon coffee... today in history we remember yet another wonderful person needlessly killed

 

 

 

 

 

Marvin Roberts, who was 16 at the time of the 2017 Spring Garden shooting, pleaded guilty Friday morning to 1st-degree murder, robbery, conspiracy and related charges in the death of 38-year-old Gerald Grandzol. He was given the mandatory minimum sentence under a plea agreement with the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office.  

 

"..........Grandzol was killed in September 2017 outside his home on the 1500 block of Melon Street. He had spent the evening at Fairmount Park with his 2-year-old daughter and the family dog. They played Frisbee while Grandzol's wife stayed home with their 5-week-old baby. She was still recovering from a C-section and had barely slept the night before.

Lurking outside the home were the Roberts brothers. They had plans to rob someone that night, prosecutors said. Marvin Roberts owed money to a drug dealer.

Grandzol pulled into a parking spot as the brothers approached him. They wanted his wallet and car keys. Grandzol complied but asked to retrieve his daughter from the back seat.  

"We don't care," Marvin Roberts said, according to prosecutors. Then, he shot Grandzol twice in the head.

His little girl screamed and the brothers took off running towards the nearest SEPTA station. Surveillance video showed them laughing, prosecutors said. Kristin Grandzol recalled hearing the shots, going outside, seeing a man on the ground and hearing her daughter's shrieks.

In court Friday, the widow described seeing her husband's "distorted face, choking on his own blood." 

Her daughter "witnessed something that night men who go to war never see," Kristin Grandzol said. 

"This is what was happening while the defendants laughed," she said...."

 

 

Marvin Roberts had a prior juvenile criminal record, and cut off his ankle monitor sometime before killing Grandzol. His lawyer, Eileen Hurley, described him as a "young man who had a very traumatic, chaotic and neglectful 16 years."

Roberts' guardian at the time of shooting was his 20-year-old sister, who had a child of her own.
