When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Ryan's case goes to the jury

CHESAPEAKE -- Jury deliberations were expected to begin Tuesday in the Ryan Frederick murder trial.

The prosection wrapped up its closing argument Monday afternoon, ending by showing the jury a close-up of Det. Jarrod Shivers' face after the January 2008 shooting.

The defense then made its final case, arguing Frederick didn't know an officer was at his door on that night.

Frederick's charged with capital murder in Shivers' death.

The judge Monday gave given the jury six options to weigh in the case -- capital murder, first-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter and acquittal.

Police say Shivers and other officers were serving a warrant to investigate a reported marijuana grow operation at Frederick's Redstart Avenue home.

Frederick says he opened fire not knowing police were at the door. He says he believed intruders had returned after breaking into his home several days earlier.


Judge gave six different charge, only goes to prove how desperate they are to convict this man for the mistakes made my the whole damn Chesapeake Pd, that only choice is an Acquittal..

Mobley praised for integrity, Ryan Frederick case

Portsmouth Commonwealth’s Attorney Earle Mobley (left) got a public pat on the back Saturday from columnist Roger Chesley at The Virginian-Pilot.

The piece highlight’s Mobley’s unsolicited telephone call to lawyers in a high-profile murder trial underway in nearby Chesapeake. In that case, special prosecutor Roger Ebert put a jailhouse snitch named Jamaal Skeeter (we couldn’t make this up) on the stand to tell a jury that the defendant had incriminated himself.

When Mobley heard that Skeeter was testifying, he called both the prosecution and the defense to clue them to Skeeter’s reputation. It seems that Skeeter has snitched (or tried to snitch) on nearly everybody in Tidewater, including Michael Vick. His word was considered so unreliable that Mobley’s office refused to use him in any case.

Skeeter testified, but his credibility was undermined by a vigorous cross-examination by defense lawyers.

Writer Chesley takes the opportunity to herald Mobley’s willingness to call out bad practice, even when it means criticizing fellow law enforcement figures.

Meanwhile, the Chespeake trial of accused cop-killer Ryan Frederick continues today with closing arguments.

Trial starts tomorrow for man accused of killing officer

CHESAPEAKE - Ryan Frederick, the Chesapeake man whose deadly confrontation with a police officer during a drug raid last year created an uproar in the community, will go on trial tomorrow for capital murder.

Frederick, 29, is charged in the death of detective Jarrod Shivers, 34, who was shot to death on Jan. 17, 2008, during a raid on Frederick's home.

Frederick's defense has maintained that he thought his home was being invaded and he shot in self-defense. The Chesapeake Police Department has said that the detectives announced themselves as police officers.

The case has generated a high level of interest locally, as Frederick's friends launched a "Free Ryan" campaign in his defense.
Please like the damn cops don't lie for each other, how to you think the term blue law started. Cops lie to protect other cops. Just like many cops have throw down in their cars. Just in case they kill someone by mistake.

I hope the citizens on Chesapeake will see the truth and allow Frederick to go home..

Va. Proposal Puts Mental Health Safety Net for Children on Chopping Block

For years, when some of Virginia's most troubled children have been struck by serious psychiatric problems, their most likely destination has been the low-rise brick building on a sprawling campus in the Shenandoah Valley that is home to the Commonwealth Center for Children and Adolescents.
"We're the place where kids can come when they can't go anyplace else," said Jeffrey Aaron, forensic coordinator and clinical director of an adolescent unit at the Staunton center.
Now the 48-bed, state-run facility has been identified by Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) as a place the state can do without. To help close a $3 billion budget gap, he has ordered the elimination of the center and a 16-bed hospital unit in southwestern Virginia that provides similar care.

Goes to show that our so-called sorry ass elected officials don't give a damn about our children till its time to get thier fat asses elected again.

What is the JIRC Hiding???

Via The VLW site
In its year-end report to the General Assembly, dated Dec. 1 and posted online Dec. 18, the Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission demonstrates just how busy it has been this year. Business is steady for the agency that provides ethics oversight to 772 judges in the commonwealth.

JIRC fielded 967 telephone inquiries, with the majority coming from judges and litigants. In 500 written inquiries, the agency heard primarily from inmates and civil litigants, many of them presumably unhappy with the outcome of their cases.

This year, the commission opened 20 files, as compared to 23 last year, and it dismissed 16 matters during 2008, with eight matters pending at year-end.

Under Va. Code § 17.1-918, the agency must report to the legislature findings of misconduct by judges seeking re-election, and it had one such matter in 2007 and one in 2008.
By Deborah Elkins
I have always said that JIRC serves only to protect Judges. I Guess I know why my complaint against jusge Olds was drop, since the Chairperson of the JIRC is Larry Willis, a judge who works with Olds in The Chesapeake JDR courthouse.

Commission Counsel provides informal ethics advice to Virginia judges on a daily basis. During the past twelve months, Counsel responded to more than 400 such requests.

Here I thought that Judges knew what they jobs entails,  I guess these judges need help to protect their lying asses. To see what laws they can break and not get charge with or thrown off the bench.

Written inquiries received
Attorneys-10
Judges-13
Court employees-2
General public-23
Litigants-189
Victims-2
Inmates-219
Media-0
Other-42
TOTAL-500

I can only guess they filed all written inquires from inmates are files in the oval filing cabinet. I really have to wonder what the 2 written inquires from court employees are about. What gets me is who are these "others"?

Nature of written inquiry
Ruling/decision-289
Ex parte-10
Bias or prejudice-60
Delay-18
Rude behavior-45
Failure to follow the law-25
Ethics opinion-10
How to file-30
Other


Well I sure those who complain about delays didn't have anything to do with these AJA meeting In Hawaii and other vactional places. In my opinion ever judge is guilty of rude behavior, Ex parte should never take place all, but they do in domestic cases, yes those DV advocate have a walk in policy with most judges. I wonder just how many of those ruling/decision was because the judge was contradicting their own prevous  orders, I know Judge Olds loves doing that. Who would every guess that a judge would be guilty of "failure to follow the law", each and every one of them thats who.

Telephone inquiries received
Attorneys-39
Judges-451
Court employees-11
General public-21
Litigants-310
Victims-9
Inmates-1
Media-1
Other-114
In Person-10

What is this, 451 calls from Judges, If they don't know how to do their damn job get them off the damn bench. Again with the court employees calling and written the JIRC, what do they know??? What are they writing and call the JIRC about? I guess we will never know these the JIRC works "behind closed doors."

Nature of telephone inquiry
Ruling/decision-236
Ex parte-13
Bias or prejudice-67
Delay-23
Rude behavior-66
Failure to follow the law-55
Ethics opinion-460
How to file-103
Other-208

Damn 460 calls concerning ethics, wow, I guess it not to far off, since must judges don't know what ethics are. I wonder what are these 208 other complaints, what is the JIRC hiding from the General Assembly? Could Sexuality improprieties be among them, what about bribes?

Man exposes himself to teen in Ches.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. - Police officers are on patrol in Chesapeake's Portlock neighborhood after a 17-year-old girl reported a half naked man approached her.

Officers went to the neighborhood off of Bainbridge and Portlock Roads Wednesday evening.

Diana Kennedy is the teen's mother. She told WAVY.com a man in a silver mustang followed her daughter after she got off the school bus.

Kennedy explained, "She said when he got up in front of her where she could see the front of the car, she looked over to see who it was or what he was doing. And when she looked over he had the window rolled down and he had himself exposed...She said that he was about six inches away from her body when she was walking, and she said, 'Mom when I looked over, he was there with no pants on. From his waste down he had nothing on.'"

Kennedy said her daughter kept going and her anxiety grew.

"She proceeded to walk faster and faster. And the faster she would go, the faster he would speed up to keep up with her," she said.

The teen ran to safety. Though police have canvassed the neighborhood, they've made no arrests. The teen's dad and another concerned parent are checking out the neighborhood,
too.

Carlton Gilchrist, a neighbor told WAVY.com they tried to track down a silver mustang in the neighborhood.

"[Her parents] went one way, I went the other to try to find out who the perpetrator was. I'm just concerned you know, 'cause it's too close to my house," Gilchrist said.

They were not able to find the car. Gilchrist said as the father of an 8-year-old daughter he's nervous.

"It happened right here at the bus stop. My daughter catches the bus here too, so I was concerned about that," he explained.

Until the person is identified, parents say they won't rest. It seems the Kennedy's daughter won't either.

"She cried most of the evening. She also made me take blankets and put them over the curtains in my house to assure that he wasn't stalking her, or following her to see in the house that she was in there," Kennedy said.

Diana Kennedy said she hopes parents throughout her neighborhood take extra steps to protect their kids.

She said it's sad that her 17-year-old daughter can't be comfortable walking from her bus stop to her front door.

Gilchrist's daughter pulled out her bicycle, like she does so many days after school, her dad said, "Oh no Sweetie. Today is not a bike riding day."

Please give me a break, this is full of shit.

First point, if she is in front of the car, she wou;dn't be able to see in below the dash broad, two, a 17 yo, please, I'm sure she has seen and touch and play with her boyfriends, stick many times. I could under stand if this was a younger child, but a damn 17 yo, please.

However I love the comments
Shw said this
This is a totally bogus story. I live right here on the corner and I was just in my back yard which runs parallel to the street right before that school bus dropped her daughter off. There was no silver mustang and there was no man. I personally know this woman who is mentally unstable and she has coerced her daughter into saying these things because she craves attention. She also used to claim that every man who came into contact with her sexually harrassed her. These are false statements. There was absolutely no man in a silver mustang!!!!!!!!!
 life coach had this to say
It is common knowledge that activity is a common practice mating ritual in Portlock and Deep Creek. Must be a new law against it or something?

New evidence revealed in Ryan Frederick case in Chesapeake

CHESAPEAKE -- An attorney representing a man accused of killing a Chesapeake police detective revealed new details about the year-old case.

Defense attorney James Broccoletti read a transcript of an audio recording made in a police patrol car made just minutes after Ryan Frederick was arrested and accused of killing Det. Jarrod Shivers.

Broccoletti said Frederick is recorded saying he opened fire on police because he believed they were intruders.

He is recorded saying his home was burglarized two days prior to the shooting.

Broccoletti said a detective is recorded telling Frederick: "We know that."

Broccoletti questioned why information about the burglary was not written in the search warrant used to raid Frederick's house. He also questioned how police knew about the break-in since Frederick never reported it.

In court, prosecutors did not dispute the allegation that police knew Frederick was burglarized.

But they told the judge there was still probable cause to search the property, with or without knowledge of a break-in.

Frederick's trial is set for Jan. 20.
I see the Judge is making sure to protect the cops for their fuckup in this case. Ican only said that I hope this case gets over turn in Federal court, the DA, the cops are corrupt, then again we are talking about Chesapeake Here, the only thing they can do right it to find a damn donut shop.
