Acquitted?

Got to love those Cook County juries and the ASA's who can't make a case:
  • Joseph Biedermann fatally stabbed his Hoffman Estates neighbor 61 times last year.

    On Friday, a Cook County jury acquitted him of first-degree murder, buying his claim that he was defending himself against an unwanted sexual advance, his mother confirmed Saturday.

    Biedermann, 30, killed Terrance Michael Hauser, 38, early on March 5, 2008, in the Barrington Lakes apartment complex on Hassell Road, where they lived in separate units.

    Police recovered a 7-inch dagger from the scene, Hoffman Estates police said after Biedermann's arrest.

Got the weapon. Got a corpse with 61 holes in it. Got motive and the offender's DNA. Even have the offender sleeping off a drunken binge with the body right there.

Acquitted.

Call us silly, but 61 stab wounds is just a little bit over the, "I was fending off an unwanted advance" defense. Probably 50 or 55 times over the limit. But hey, it's Cook County. Proven once again to be the #1 location in America to commit a murder and get away with it.

Take twelve of your average Chicago public school victims and put them on a jury. That's who will decide the fate of a defendant in Crook county.

Scary, huh? And they vote for presidents too.

Abbate's lawyer shoulda used a similar defense..."Yeah, my client swung at her 61 times, but only connected on about 10% of those. And ONLY after she made unwanted sexual advances toward Anthony".

I don't know about this one SCC. Imagine, your out drinking with a friend who invites you to pass out at this place. Later you're awoken by your friend. First you find it's disturbing you're getting woke during the night with one heck of a hangover. Next, you discover your friend is threatening to "Beni-hanna" you with a dagger; it get worse: He's doing this while having a mean looking erection and tube of lube in his other hand.

At first, you attempt to make rational thought out of this, but that disappears in a flash; because your friend who invited you over to sleep it off, is threatening to make you do things you never would think of doing.

Your friend insists he's serious: He slashes your arm. Finally realizing that this friend is in reality a sexual psychopath, you fight back. You're scared, full of adrenalin and all you know is two things:

(1). You want to live.

(2). You don't want to suck dick.

In order to live, and protect your anal and oral virginity, you fight with everything ounce of strenth you have. This causes your brain to release massive amounts of adrenalin and other chemicals. Your brain goes into imbalance. The next thing you know, your friend has sixty some odd stab wounds.

If I was an attorney, that's how I would have done my closing argument. Beyond a reasonable doubt. Remember, juries will believe a load of shit if it's presented right. And I just delivered a big one!

Anonymous "Welcome to Homicide" said...

While it's understandable that you question the jury's verdict, I must say this:

In crimes of intense passion involving cuttings or stabbings, I have had homicide offenders give me what I believe to be a truthful confession. In one case, the victim sustained about one hundred stab wounds.

The confessed killer remembered stabbing his lover "maybe 6 or 7 times" but in his blind rage, could not believe the actual number of wounds.

You rarely see this unless both the decedent and his/her killer

(1) know each other, most likely in an intimate sexual relationship gone awry, and

(2) the hatred and/or jealousy is extreme.

This phenomenon is referred to as "overkill".

Should We Have Professional Juries?

We’re in the 21st Century, and our legal system uses a method of adjudication that was invented in the Middle Ages. It’s time for a more professional way of resolving legal disputes, one where the decisionmakers are not a bunch of often-unwilling people plucked from the street, forced to upend their lives to resolve the disputes of others, and without the expertise to evaluate the facts and apply the law.

Crain's reports: Just a year after winning hard-fought City Council permission to move to Grant Park, the Chicago Children's Museum has run into money problems, raising the prospect that its controversial new facility slated for the northeast corner of the park may never be built.

The museum is considering its options, including downsizing the facility, getting money from the Chicago Park District or extending the lease on its current space at Navy Pier as far as 2025.

Beating victim dies on his birthday
July 13, 2009 5:44 AM | No Comments
A man was found apparently beaten to death today, his birthday, in the West Town neighborhood, authorities said this morning.


At about 2:40 a.m., Chicago Fire Department paramedics were called and told a body was in the 700 block of North Throop Street, said News Affairs Officer David Banks. On arrival, they found Reynaldo Ortiz, 50, of Texas, dead on the street. The paramedics notified police, Banks said

A Cook County Medical examiner's spokesman said Ortiz was a victim of assault and battery.

He was pronounced dead at 3:15 a.m. at the Stein Institute.

Today was Ortiz's birthday, according to the medical examiner's spokesman. An autopsy will be done later today.

Police are handling the incident as a death investigation.

I ordered my city stickers online in mid June. I received my bike sticker (tag) in about a week, but never received my passenger car sticker. After an hour of calling, I FINALLY got through to the clerks office and was told that there was a "delay" due to a lack of manpower to process the numerous online or mail-in applications. There response was to come down to the clerks office in person to get a "temporary sticker"? WTF!! This fkn city brags about it's technology and to do all your city business online! But now we're the ones that are going to be fucked, AGAIN! I contacted my alderman's office and (SURPRISE!) they're response was to go to the clerks office and get the temp sticker! FKN USELESS! I told them that i'm NOT spending MY TIME and at least $20 to park downtown just to fix their fkn mistake! The alderman's office also told me that the clerks office said that there are NO PLANS for an extension. So get ready for the fkn vultures from the Dept. of Revenue to have a field day!!!

Ordered mine on-line and received it in 4 days. Just keep your on-line receipt showing you ordered it and paid for it. The receipt should be dated to prove you ordered it on time.

Fully believable, an officer got yelled at by a juvie judge last week when she asked the defense attorney how many times he was going to ask the same question and get the same answer. It was either the 4th or 5th time the question was asked and the ASA never realized what was going on. RIDICULOUS!

OHHHHH,I'VE GOT IT NOW! IT'S OK TO STAB SOMEONE 61 TIMES WHILE YOUR IN A DRUNKIN STUPER,JUST DONT TAKE A FEW SWINGS AT AN ILLEGAL ALIEN BARTENDER OR A COUPLE OF SHOTS AT A BUSTOUT,WHO SPITS ON YOU AND HOSPITAL STAFF,IN A WHEELCHAIR.AND DEFINITELY NEVER PUNCH AN OFFENDER WHO GRABS YOUR WEAPON.

*****************************************

1. Cozzi got fucked by J-Fed and the G after taking a massive hit administratively. That said, we still cannot slap handcuffed prisoners under any circumstances. He was punished enough by the dept but if he doesn't slap the guy, he has no problem. Cozzi snapped, and any of us might have, and I feel terrible about what has happened to him, but if he just dropped a simple battery to the police on the asshole instead of hitting him, he would be working today.

2. No one, civilian or copper can beat someone up like he did to her. Was it an agg batt? Fuck no, but it was a battery and he deserved some punishment. Please stop using this jagoff as an example of a wrongful conviction. The judge saw it for what it was and punished him accordingly. And as has been documented here by many people who know him and his act better that I, he does not deserve, nor did he ever deserve to wear our uniform.

3. If someone tries to take your weapon, he is eligible for deadly force. In this case, do what you have to do.

How many stabs/cuts constitute self-defense??If you know anything about knife fighting 61 cuts isnt out of the question.

From a citizen troller: This is the time I want some jag off lawyer on one of the cable news shows to tell me again it may not be perfect but we have the best justice system in the world. It is admired by countries all over the world. And my all time favorite: better ten guilty men go free than one innocent man convicted. (probably why the crime rate is so high in Chicago one would think. Indeed ten guilty men are always going free while 1 guilty in ten gets convicted) Fuck you Flint Taylor, Mike Monaco and all the rest of you who suck you existence on the misery scale of justice.

To those who say that the American justice system is the best and the envy of the world, that is not saying a whole lot. It DOES NOT mean that ours is so great, just that the rest of the world's is so much worse.

What would happen to an officer who shot pookie 61 times?

Another case of double standards in Crook County.
7/13/2009 09:21:00 AM

I'm not an officer, but I'd have to reload 10 times (with 5 rounds left in the revolver)! I usually only carry 3 reloads (2 speedloaders and a speed strip)! Of course I could get 15 more by using my 2nd gun and its 2 speedloaders.

I think they're using the wrong kind of knife if it takes 61 stabs.

I had a case were an ASA would not prosecute a possession of ammunition case on a 2x felon because the state Police did not respond to the ASA's request for proof that he never had a FOID. Screw the fact that as a convicted felon he cannot have a FOID and that his rap sheet confirmed his convictions. But what took the cake was, she tried to blame the state Police for not doing their job.
----------------------------------
Its there job to respond to such requests. If they did not respond, who is to blame?

It may have something to do with the way the guy was charged that proof of no FOID was required.

Its not all that easy to change the charges after the fact.

The central facts are that Biedermann did not call 911 from the apartment, initially refused medical attention until his girlfriend insisted, and still did not want police contacted while at the hospital. He never mentioned the alleged gay rape to officers who were at the hospital during the initial investigation. He combined a bullsh*t self-defense claim, clearly cooked up between the time of the incident and the trial, and threw in a little gay panic defense, and the jury bought it.

It seems to me that the ASA got out-lawyered, and didn't do an adequate job of explaining to the jury how injuries occur to the victim and offender in a murder involving an edged weapon. Nor did they illustrate for the jury how ridiculous the self-defense claims were.

I worked on a similar case years ago
