PROTEST HLN

Just last month I was down there on the set with Vinnie Politan and Mike Brooks having a blast and then I read yesterday that as of July 3 Vinnie will no longer be with HLN!!!! WTF???!!!??? He will be going to the local Atlanta NBC affiliate.

Whomever this new head is over at HLN they are moving things in the WRONG direction!!! We want MORE court room coverage not less!  We want our favorite personalities MORE not GONE! You got rid of Beth Karas and Jean Casarez so rudely it's unspeakable.  You didn't respect them at ALL! Beth had been with y'all for 19 years and y'all don't even give her the decency of giving her notice in person! So RUDE!

We here out on the web, in the courtrooms watching, tweeting, blogging, etc. want to get court tv back! You have now broken the last straw damnit! I'm so glad I went and did that visit to the set last month or it might not have happened at all!  Let me tell you something, Vinnie enjoys his job very much! He didn't tell me that, it was very obvious! In the way he brought us around and showed us the after dark set and where everything was on it, the excitement in his eyes and body language was loud and clear, he wants to do more of it not less!

We want our Court TV back with Beth, Jean, Vinnie, Mike, etc.! We want our court room streams back from 9-5 E. What did you in was all of the commercial breaks! There was more commercial breaks than actual court room coverage! We all eventually turned to the internet for our court streams. Please don't go the way of merging with Vibe or something. Please bring it back to what it was and has been for so many years!

(chants)WE WANT OUR COURT TV(similar to we want our MTV)

There will be protests, petitions, etc. if y'all completely do away with anything court related.

WHO'S WITH ME????????

Mommy that gave birth in bar Sentenced!

You guys remember this story yeah?  Amanda Hein, 27, was having fun with friends in a pub in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania last fall when she excused herself to use the restroom.  She'd been gone for a while and the friends kept texting her since it'd been almost 40 minutes but she never responds.

Instead, she gives birth to a healthy living baby boy and trying to figure out what to do. She does what any mother would do in this scenario and grabs a plastic bag, smother the kid, wrap him in the bag, then place him in the toilet tank!

She finally returns to her friends with blood stains all over and asked them to ignore it.  Ummmm yeah, sorry I couldn't just ignore that! So anyhoo she was sentenced last month after pleading guilty to life in prison.

A lot of people are asking is this fair? I say a resounding hells yeah! Now she can sit and think every single day about what she did and wonder what could have been, what he would look like at certain ages etc. I think that's more torture personally than anything else.

A Day with Vinnie Politan

Since so many have asked I decided to do a little blog to explain how it came about. Vinnie and I have been in contact for quite some time and have tried to meet up but the timing has never worked. I was coming down to celebrate my fathers 73rd birthday so I asked Vinnie if there was anything special we could do for him.

He said " Be here at 11:30, I'll show you around before we got live from 12-2.  We'll have you in the studio the first hour then you can go in the control room the 2nd hour which I have never even done! After that I'll show you around a little more before I have to go to a meeting to finish things off!"

See more after the jump! Including pictures!

Joran Van Der Sloot

Father to be a 2nd time?

Back in October 2012, it was widely reported that Joran was going to marry Leidy Figueroa Uceda. At the time, she was rumored to be pregnant with his child as well, but he wouldn't confirm it. You can see this in this USA Today Article regarding it.

Now there are reports that again Joran is planning to marry in May or June to a Leydi Carol Figueroa Uceda. She's 5 months pregnant carrying a boy and wouldn't you know, has a 2 year old boy from a "previous" relationship! Here's an article regarding the most recent story.

The only differences in the name is the spelling of the first name and adding Carol in the midldle. I believe it to be the same woman. Wow. He has this girl SNOWED!  Does she not realize WHY he is in jail? He's using her so that he won't get extradited! As soon as they marry he can't get extradited! 

I can't believe I'm the first person to put two and two together about this! Y'all it's the same girl and both kids are his! Beth Twitty better do something REAL quick before he marries if she wants to get some resolve from the extortion case in Alabama!

What do y'all think???

Jodi Arias Penalty Phase Closed Off

Not a lot of people know that there have been a lot of closed door settlement hearings going on to try and get things finished off without the death penalty. Now you know the state won't settle for that.

The defense has won in one sense in that they pushed the punishment phase into 2014 and now it will be past the 1 year mark currently scheduled for sometime in September. I'll believe it when it actually begins. However, due to wins the defense has gotten, there will be no media live in the courtroom during the next phase!

That's right folks! No live tweeting, no live streaming, no nothing.  I've heard there will be about 10 public seats available. I'm not sure the judge realizes what is going to happen by doing this. I tried to attend the Casey Anthony trial for 1 day and it was utter chaos! By starting the Jodi trial with showing everything and then suddenly cutting off any and all information coming out of it is a BAAAAD idea.

The day I went to see the CA trial I arrived at 1:30 and was #5 in line. Security escorted us off court property and showed us where to start the line on public property so we could just turn and walk up to where the actual line started on court property at 6 am. So there we sat and at 5:30 or so he went around giving us instructions on conduct on how we wouldn't run or act like fools etc. and we didn't see him again as it was getting close to 6 am.

We had media all around us at the front of the line.  There was a woman on the court property prior to 6 am claiming she would be first because there was no line as it was up where the sign was etc. We tried very nicely to tell her she was trespassing and the line was behind us.  The security guard was nowhere to be found and this lady just wouldn't quit.  The cameras caught the whole thing.  We remained civil and calmly explained how she was trespassing and at 6 am when we still didn't see security we rounded the pillar and started making our way up to the sign by the court door.

As we did this, the lady tried to angle into the line causing us to quicken our steps etc. I had on flip flops because I'd been sitting out there for almost 5 hours and was going to switch into court shoes once inside.  Someone stepped on the back of my flip flops and made me fall down hard on my knees and hand.  Once this happened all hell broke loose and everyone started running. One or two tried to help before the melee started then they just kept going.

I got up, got my stuff, and then went around to the front and back into where my #5 spot was. I was hurt and in shock etc.  They were all fighting with the woman yelling and screaming at her to get out of line etc. The police finally showed up to deal with her. It was about that time we finally saw the security guard show up again. I was looked at and was made to decide to stay there or get taken to the hospital... 5 hours I sat there only to get taken out thanks to people selling their spots on craigslist as it turned out. It was the day Dr. G was testifyin too damnit! *sigh*

STREAM THE PENALTY PHASE OR THIS COULD HAPPEN THERE TOO!

2014 Ft. Hood Shooter

4 people dead and 16 injured. Everyone immediately jumped on the bandwagon of he's messed up in the head because he's on all these medicines for depression, sleep problems, alleged PTSD etc. From the outset I told people to wait and let the authorities do their investigation and not to immediately jump to conclusions.

Check after the jump for more of my story!

Flight #MH370

Everyone has an opinion on this including me :) I find it highly suspect that just after the Chinese vessel finds 2 pings spaced apart, the Australian ship carrying the US Intel hears pings and 1 of them 90 minutes prior to a press conference no less!

It's like they are having a pissing contest to see who can find the better Intel faster. Honestly? I'm with the families in that until something is physically found, I'm not buying into anything. I don't even watch any of the coverage anymore.

CNN has nothing better to do than to speculate all day about what could have happened, where, who coulda done what etc. thing is, the people that know aren't talking. Come on, you know the military of those various countries heard more pings and saw them on radar longer than they have publicly said!

Do you REALLY think they sat there with that info and did nothing for 12 hours CNN regarding the 1st ping? NO! They just don't publicly say what all they do because it would compromise the investigation! The reason we found out about it so quickly prior to the Australian authorities talking was because of media on the ship. At the same time the media leaked it though, the Chinese authorities were calling the Australians to let them know what was going on.

The media now needs to back away and let them do what they do best and investigate! leave the families alone to grieve and figure out what they want to do next. Stop harassing them! Were you in their shoes would you like the way you are treating them? You have proven you can be trusted, just back off and they will come to you when they are ready.

I'm considering starting an Anti-CNN broadcast with my youtube channel but dunno if peeps would watch it.... lemme know what y'all think below!
