Bolt From Above

No hint that this was coming. Not even a whisper:
  • In a surprise twist Wednesday, attorneys for an Oak Lawn man on trial on charges of killing a drug customer he believed had robbed him blamed a former Chicago police officer for the murder, saying he was extorting thousands of dollars in protection money from the defendant.

    In opening remarks at the trial of Daniel Nevarez, his lawyer contended that Chicago cop Jerome Finnigan had sought payment from Nevarez only to learn he had been robbed of $40,000 in cash and about 4 ½ pounds of marijuana and couldn't come up with the money.
    Nevarez's attorney, Stuart Goldberg, said Finnigan suspected Eric Kaminski, a drug customer of Nevarez's, after a print found at the home matched Kaminski. On Finnigan's instructions, Nevarez arranged for Kaminski to meet him at the home of Nevarez's father in the 2200 block of West Coulter Avenue, Goldberg told jurors.

    When Kaminski arrived in February 2004, Finnigan shot him, to the horror of Nevarez, Goldberg alleged.

    "He said, 'What the [expletive] did you just do? You killed someone in my father's house,'" Goldberg quoted Nevarez as saying. "Officer Finnigan dug the bullets out, as an experienced person would do, and said, 'Dig him a grave, [expletive], or you're going to be the next one.'"
At the bond hearing in January 2008, the defense blamed Kamiski's girlfriend for the killing to cover up an alleged affair she was having with Nevarez. Now out of left field, this crap? We certainly expect to see some proof of this defense allegation - we're pretty sure that lawyers, while expected to defend their clients to the best of their abilities, aren't allowed to make up bullshit in an effort to create reasonable doubt. If proven, this would put this scandal beyond anything Chicago has ever experienced.

SCC, as a homicide detective for the last eight years I must "spank you" for this quote. Yes they do make up all kinds of crap to try and convince the dumb fuck Cook County jurors that their man is innocent. Only the state has to abide by the rules and the evidence, but the defense can pretty much say anything they want during opening and closing arguments and come up with all kinds of theories and innuendo that is not even close to the evidence presented by the state. Not to mention the defense can make all kinds of unfounded, baseless allegations on cross examination. So, as much as I love you and your blog, considered yourself "spanked". And by the way Stewey Goldberg is perhaps the king of kings when it comes to smoke and mirrors and complete bullshit.

BREAKING NEWS!!!...

U.S. Attorney Peter Fitzgerald will hold a press conference tomorrow morning to announce the indictment of former police officer Jerome Finnigan as the infamous "second shooter" of President John F Kennedy!

Finnigan is alleged to have been the armed gunman who was positioned behind the fence on the grassy knoll. The indictment states Finnigan fired 3 fatal rounds in perfect unison with Lee Harvey Oswald, killing the president. Finnigan, who was just a few months old at the time of Kennedy's death, has been positively identified by two witnesses who stated he fired the rounds from his baby carriage.

Finnigan is also considered an un-named co-conspirator in the deaths of Abe Lincoln, Julius Ceasar and Jesus of Nazarath.

Film at eleven... stay tuned.

Stuart Goldberg is slime. He reminds me of the character that Sean Penn played in Carlito's Way. He is a below average (mostly) dope-boy attorney. If memory serves me he got caught by the Feds trying to get large amounts of money out of one of his clients storage locker. He said it was a fee. The Feds kept the money. He was so mixed up with that scum that he was lucky to not get indicted himself. That's the same guy, right? BTW, he has an incredibly ugly rug that he places on top of his head.

And with the charges against Finnigan and the disgrace of SOS, I guess this seemed as good a defense as any too put on for your client because what is the prosecution gonna do call Finnigan, and who would believe him. When these accusations are proven untrue Finnigan should sue the shithead and his lawyer not that he would see any money probably but on principle alone because god knows there will be no judicial or criminal accountability for either of these assholes for making up this shit. All it is once again blame someone else for your actions, in this case a disgraced police officer and an already humiliated department now that's an even more explosive theory.

Lawyers have always made up stories for the defendants. First time I found out about it, I was wearing a suit instead of a uniform and got stuck standing in the back of the courtroom. Culd not help but overhear the lawyer "coaching" his client.
Lawyer just made up the story and then told the client what to say. This is standard in Cook County.
And don't forget the threats made to police officers from the lawyers who have political pull.
Here in Cook County there really is a "motion to fix"
We do have the most corrupt court system in the US.

And I am not taking time for you or anybody else, so go fuck yourself. To get everybody off their back in a messy situation, CPD immediately tries to throw OEMC under the bus for not getting the jobs out fast enough. It is the nature of the beast.

For those who do not have a clue Mike Kuemmeth is a stand up guy in 022 who wants to right by everybody, maybe to a fault. If he had bodies he could address crime and disorder. He had the smallest inside staff before the mandated purge and a small group who pride themselves on doing as little as possible (as often advocated on these very pages). With what little he has he has fought the good fight but still wants more and has asked Mike Ryan to step down to which is Tact Lt, BTW Unit Bid Second watch bid in 022 is a sweet LT. gig. Tact Lt. not so much. The powers that be at 35th don't give him resources so don't blame him. BTW Kuemmeth is not a 19th warder and he will gladly welcome any worker who wants to bid in to help the cause.

Also the bullsh!t about Mike Ryan being heavy is hilarious; he has celebrated passover so often he should convert to Judaism. He is a smart, loudmouth, opinionated jag who happens to know what the f(ck he is talking about. He never will go anywhere because he says hello to the purple elephant when he enters a room the same elephant that the other bosses see but politely ignore. Sure boss parking empty police vehicles that have to be guarded will inhibit crime as the gangbanger find it hard to shoot when they are pissing their paints from laughter.

Ryan doesn’t have to be your friend to be your boss and if your feelings hurt easily don't work fo him, deal with it. He also wants to do the right thing and has the same motivation as lots of us, his family’s safety and security. Once again he would take any motivated experienced help, just reach out and make your case. Gather your numbers and make a case for what you can do, both of their numbers are in the FOP book.

Looking forward to seeing you clean up 022 soon,

Has anyone read King Shithead's 2010 budget proposal?

In it lies some interesting numbers among all the lies and propaganda:

2008 Police Expenditure: 1,247,908
2009 Police Expenditure: 1,226,114
2010 Police Expenditure: 1,226,377

This 2009 bullshit budget was underfunded by 30 million dollars for 2009, according to the propaganda. Next year's budget allegedly is increasing by 263 thousand dollars.

Let's see what that turns into if one assumes he'll keep his "alleged" 13,500 police officer roster shall we?

263 thousand / 13,500 cops = 18.96 dollars per year per officer.

Wow. Daley is actually budgeting a raise for 13,500 police officers to the tune of less than 20 dollars per year. Hmmmmm.... how does that work out?

Seeing as how Daley will have a tough time showing LESS police officers working for the city during a time of what's seemingly an endless crime wave with no reason to slow down, Daley is trying to pass off on the taxpayers and city council that he has no intention of paying a raise at all in the year 2010 to the police.

I wonder if Federal Monkeyboy's 330 thousand dollar salary is included in that figure?

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

Sure , worry about bullets when all's you have to do is get a much more effective drop gun and just dump it. Sure, dig out bullets and risk leaving or being covered in DNA material. Sure, dig out bullets so everyone says, why the hell were the bullets dug out, Sure, leave a witness to a murder to testify against you. Sure, kill someone so you never see the money. Sure, force someone to dig a grave when all's you have to do is dump them behind a garage.

Yes, A Stroger County (has the county been renamed yet ?) jury will beleive all that, but we don't have to. They beat this one already, all's you have to do is envoke the "Dirty Chicago Cop" defense and you walk.

Okay, one would hope the State is going to discredit any bullet being dug out with an exit wound or the ME's report to substantiate no additional injuries to sustain such fabrications.

But then again, this guy was going to "paint" away officers he's worked with so this would cause reasonable doubt in my mind.

Hey, Mr. Retired S&S Worker, do you realize that the PCAD information is not available to the general public? Do you realize your fed-up friend who got you the PCAD print out would would be in as much shit, IF NOT MORE, as those on your alledged videos. He falls under breaking the same rules and regulations that bar members from running DL #'s for friends, rap sheets, license plates, etc., for private purposes.

Do you, also realize you could possibly be in trouble for possessing this information.

If you have a legitimate complaint, go about registering it in a legitimate way. Otherwise, regardless of how "noble" you think you are, you are in the same category of other rule breakers.

I say go a head, show your PCAD information. I bet someone will eventually want to know where and how you got it.

Stop thinking with your butt. What's next, if you don't get the answers you want are your going to buy a cop uniform and go on patrol yourself?

I want my beat covered. I want to see more police presence around
63rd & Central/Austin, but I also understand the shit that the boys and girls in blue have to put up with day in and day out. They don't need a turd like you, who slouched his way through to retirement working for S&S, to hassle them. Put your cameras on some of your comrades in S&S who in my opinion take too long to do their job. See how endearing you will be then, you frick'n turd pile.

Finnigan planted rocks on everybody in the 11th district... twice! He got the coke by flying the CPD helicopter to south america twice a year to stock up on drop rocks.

Finnigan killed 7 guards with a toothbrush, 12 inmates with paper cuts from a greeting card, and the wardens gold fish by heating the bowl water with his laser vision.

U.S. Attorney Peter Fitzgerald will also hold a press conference in Los Angeles later today to announce the indictment of former Chicago police officer Jerome Finnigan as the corrupt Chicago cop who sold drugs to Marilyn Monroe thus causing her death by overdose.

Finnegan is also under being looked at as a "person of interest" in the death of Pop Star Michael Jackson. Finnegan, although incarcerated at the time, is alleged to have trained a racoon and wolf tag team to transport the lethal anesthetic Diprivan to the mansion of Jackson. The drug is alleged to have been carried in a metallic Gucci pouch. The fatal tag team was able to gain entry into the residence due to Jacksons fondness for animals. It is reported that Finnegan obtained the highly potent drug from a former cell mate who now works as a medical salesmen for Region 5 of Pfizer.

Don't understand why CPD members can't get changes of venue - maybe DuPage, Lake, or Kane county juries would be able to hear cases and provide reasonable verdicts, avoiding ghetto lottery payouts. (Wish a couple of the PDs around here would cut out the ticket quota/revenue enhancement crap, though!)

For the most part, lawyers are:

1. Liars,
2. too ugly to become the highly-paid actor/celebrities they always dreamed of being and,
3. too haughty to go into an honest business, like sales, garbage pickup, etc.
.

I'm very familiar with the case. The truth is that Nevarez got locked up by JF and the crew back in 2004 and sat in county for several months until his case was nolled because certain people didn't show up to court. The same year Nevarez thinks he is ripped off by the the homicide Vtm of $20,000; hence the motivation to kill him. Vtm goes missing the same year. Stu Goldberg and his co-counsel Sam Adams Jr. are both looking to gain headlines and publicity. Goldberg was in Sneeds column Tuesday talking about how he personally delivered a screenplay to George Clooney in Italy. Sam Adams is getting ready for his big payday when he releases his upcoming book on Blago. These two soulless motherfuckers are playing their client for their own personal gain with this ridiculous defense. However, as many have said the juries nowadays are just as ridiculous and can easily be persuaded to believe this shit despite the real facts of the case.

The States Attorney Devine fucked up they had nothing tangible and was basically told to fuck off when short shanks returned from Paris. If your memory can recall or you can look it up he told Devine not to run again. But was too late and the SOS scandal had begun. The SOS officers were arrested and charged with crimes, no tape no video oh that’s right the Bar video that showed a known banger drug bar getting looked at because as a squad was rolling by the banger was told to take it inside and instead threw the bottle down to show his respect for the POLICE. Watch the video no one taking money or setting someone up. and the news played it over and over But according to the report a Year 365 days later the word of some upstanding citizens words of felons and dealers were taken over the POLICE and a good majority of you tried convicted and sentenced your fellow officers ,Who are GREAT COPS I know them personally and seen them on ride a longs professionally and seen them being the POLICE as well as some fellow officers .When some one disrespected the POLICE SOS was brought in and taught them manners that was part of their job. That’s why they were city wide they were workers I have read this blog and you can tell the workers and who the half hearts are 13 years in the Corps and that’s how I can judge a half heart. SO the Feds can get Jerry on something to bring him into Federal custody to shake the tree because they had nothing and how they dragged a family member into the FBI because he was in Jerry’s basement when Keith conjured up this whole thing and then all week called jerry house trying to bait jerry to go with it and then had jerry meet him at the parking lot on Harlem for the taping where you and I read the same transcript of jerry’s conversation but not Keith’s. Keith was quoted as umm and ahh and jerry was the Painter
Read it again this was all done so the feds can take Jerry into Federal custody and shake the tree. And look at he Department and see if Jerry would give up names It has been Three years Count three ah, ah, ah and the Feds are telling him he is going to be charged with Civil Rights Violations not Murder, not Murder for Hire Because this whole case was BULLSHIT and that is from my brother who my family and some ,some police officers visit. So when some piece of shit puts a case on you and his word is gold just remember what comes around goes around. And one more favor if you are going to run your mouths and be judge and jury don’t be a half heart at least have some balls and put your name on it so when this is all over they can call you a bitch

So, you anticipate the ME forensically disproving the defense's theory, said theory supported primarily by the assertion that bullets were 'dug out of' the murdered victim, and yet you'd still have what you call a 'reasonable' doubt as to the veracity of the rest of this tall tale being spun by the defense?

This reminds me of another crap lawyer (now a judge, Rivkin-Carruthers) who defended cop killer Murray Blue. She actually went into court and made the outrageous claim that 015th Dist.
Police actually killed the young officer from 015 in that incident which occurred many years ago

Wait til the commander in 008 and the media outlets gets ahold of all the video (almost 2 hours worth) that our neighborhood watch groups have compiled here on the west end of 008. Unfortunately, 90% of it is 008 district beat cars being where they AREN'T supposed to be, napping in vehicles, hour-plus at Portillos, etc, etc, all while the tax-paying citizens get screwed. Since your GPS doesn't seem to do a damn thing to keep you guys honest, the video, supplemented with real-time scanner transmissions and PCAD print outs courtesy of a fed-up comrade of yours will hopefully light the fire under someone's ass to get us the service we deserve and pay for.

Could this be the "clearing night force?", headed by wanna be copper DZ who is the city clerks investigator, who makes $80,000 writing parking tickets while his wife who also got a cush job at the city clerks office does nothing for $49,000? Hey Don laski got you and your wife that easy job you are not getting laid off, but getting 80K writing parkers? Is your fake badge still number "69" you idiot!

Just like SCC said, we all expect lawyers to provide a good defense for their clients, but to walk into court and make outrageous, unsubstantiated claims...but it may be just enough to put enough 'reasonable doubt' into a Crook County jury's feeble mindset.
----------------------------
I wanted to make this comment but couldn't bring myself to do it. The commenter made it for me so I will continue on. The attorney made an opening statement stating that the recruit was killed by a shot fired by his FTO! And then presented no evidence to support such a statement. I believe that this is the ultimate insult that you can make to a law enforcement officer, to state that a policeman killed another policeman. And then leave it out there with no evidence. SCC and all of us have to understand that when you are in the jury box you are under oath and the defense attorney IS NOT.
I have been in court roomns where a defense atttorney has reminded me that I was under oath, I agreed and reminded him that he WAS NOT.

Yeah, your right. Your brother is an Angel. He didn't do anything to further disgrace the department or ruin the careers of officers who were "put on the paper" like one P.O. who made Sgt. and was forced to resign because he was caught up in all the SOS bullshit.

--Ridiculous the way they dispatch jobs. Was dispatched a job and while I was on that job I received another job and another job and another job. Wasn't finished with the first one and they loaded me with 3 more jobs. WTF? Well I ended up with an arrest so the jobs had to be reassigned anyway :) Put em back on the board for someone else. I can only handle one job at a time.

A Rabbi, Hindu Holy Man and a lawyer were travelling together late one night. They're car broke down by a farm, and they went to the door of the farmer's house and asked if they could spend the night.

The farmer, said, "sure, but i only have room for two of you in the house, one of you will have to stay in the barn". The Rabbi said, "I'll stay in the barn", he picked up a pillow and blanket and off he went. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door, and it was the Rabbi. The Rabbi explained that there was a pig in the barn, and he couldn't spend the night under the same roof with a pig.

The Hindu Holy Man then said he'd stay in the barn and off he went. A few minutes later he came back saying there was a cow in the barn, and he couldn't spend the night under the same roof with a cow.

So the lawyer said "Look, I'LL stay in the barn", and off he went with his blanket and pillow.

A few moments later there was a knock on the farmer's door. The farmer opened the door - and it was the cow and the pig.

Fucked? Me? Hardly. The citizen that might REALLY need the police, mixed in with all the bullshit calls, is the one getting fucked, by the bullshit callers and you and your like kind. Hopefully, it will not be one or more of my family members or your family members, but you can bet, I'll take care of mine.

Personally, I do not give a shit how you handle your jobs or how long you stay down on them. As long as there is no one available to take the job(s), I am good. The bosses will be off my back, but as soon as there is a place for the job(s)to go, they will go or I am going to be disciplined for untimely dispatch. And you and others are not worth me losing money that will support my family. Now grab a scribble stick and write down these jobs. Or have your sergeant pimp for you. If not, they belong to you.

I just want to say I know he’s no Angel and the shit he has put family friends and Police Department thru is Bullshit. I just wanted to get that out there. Jim was a Cops Cop a very hard charger and he is a stand up guy I heard from another officer what had happened when I was visiting Jerry and they both defended him and said he did nothing to warrant his resignation. This is why I put something on your blog. They are expecting you to be the guard dogs but when you bite someone they what to put you down, and they believe every bullshit story put on you with CR’s because you did your job and you have the burden of proving it wrong. What’s wrong with this friggen picture I will defend the Police 110% and my brother fucked up but all I am saying is before you throw him and other officers in the shithouse let them have a fair trial and as for Jim( I )am apologizing for my brother getting you caught up in this Bullshit

Okay, one would hope the State is going to discredit any bullet being dug out with an exit wound or the ME's report to substantiate no additional injuries to sustain such fabrications.

But then again, this guy was going to "paint" away officers he's worked with so this would cause reasonable doubt in my mind.

Wow this "story-line" will probably be repeated over and over and over, here's hoping the State is going to disprove this and sooner the better!!!

8/06/2009 04:00:00 PM"



So, you anticipate the ME forensically disproving the defense's theory, said theory supported primarily by the assertion that bullets were 'dug out of' the murdered victim, and yet you'd still have what you call a 'reasonable' doubt as to the veracity of the rest of this tall tale being spun by the defense?

You must have voted for the Bamster.


No, can you read. If the state can disprove it that would be wonderful. However, what I said was regardless as what was proved/disproved the mere idea that this was a guy who would CONSIDER killing his FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS, FELLOW OFFICER'S makes me have reasonable doubt.

Because I am a reasonable thinking person, and not someone who shouts from the mountain top "he's a good cop"; in my lifetime I've known a many GOOD cops, and his name was never on the list.

Problem is,police stories need the charachter of a victim that someone can empathize with. There are very few "victim's " in CPD work that are interesting enough to write a story about.

maybe all of the complaining and begging for more police officers on the west end of 008 has paid off. until further notice ive heard that the third watch 806 p.v.r.t team is assigned to 811 and 812 beat only. not sure if it is true because i have not been back to work in a few days but if it is true they are a good bunch of coppers and this is a FANTASTIC idea. most of them actually have time on and are old 153 guys who still do work... well, not back in they day 153 work but you know what i mean.... still like locking up bad guys and keepin the west end locked down. like i said, dont know if its true but many people sayin it is confirmed which is a relief to us that have to live out here. hope to see you guys out here and make sure to keep an eye on 6100 and 6200 block of menard.. lots of as#holes popping up here in the past few months. this was a good move to do cmdr kup!!!

8/06/2009 03:04:00 AM

seems to be true. i did a usm of 008 the other night and i saw an 806 car, 861 car, and 859 car all detailed to 811/812's beats. along with 811 and 812 only being assigned to jobs on their beats!
