SUCKED INTO THE ABYSS

On December 9, 1873, in Bristol, England, Thomas Cumpston and his wife, a respectable elderly couple, raced through the streets in their pajamas, panic stricken and shooting a pistol. Running into the railway station, Mr. Cumpston exclaimed, "My wife and I have escaped from a den of thieves and rogues." Thought to be insane, they were arrested. The following day, in court, Mr. Cumpston was still so excited that he appeared delusional. The couple had checked into the Victoria Hotel the evening before and had been awoken in the night by alarming noises in the building. The landlady heard the indescribable sounds, but ignored them, reassured the couple, and sent them off to bed.

At 3 a.m. the sounds returned, along with the scary sensation that the ground was giving way. Mr. Cumpston leaped from bed and then discovered, to his horror, that the floor was opening beneath him and an unknown force was dragging him into the black void. Mrs. Cumpston, shocked to see her spouse disappearing into the hole, dragged him out. Invisible voices echoed their outcries. The terrified Cumpstons then jumped out the window and ran away, looking for help. The police investigated the hotel room, but could find nothing unusual. The official verdict was "collective hallucination," and the distressed couple were given into the care of friends.

In December 1926, four students entered a supposedly haunted college dorm room in Corpus Christi, Texas. A tangible, sometimes vaguely visible presence was said to reside there. Upon entering the area, one of the students was grasped by a force "like some powerful magnet" and was pulled away from his friends. They clutched onto the man and fought furiously to hold him. Other students arrived outside the room, curious about the commotion, but the door would not open. They finally ripped out the oak paneling to gain entrance, and the captured man was released.

Jason Elijah Talley, 43, and Crystal Nichole Samora, 33, pleaded guilty on Monday to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute over 50 grams of meth, says U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

On March 14, Talley and Samora were in a Lexus in Victoria when officials conducted a traffic stop after seeing they were following too closely.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Talley was detained and told to sit in the grass. Authorities then found a bag they suspected of containing meth in the area where Talley was sitting.

The couple's car was physically searched and officials seized Xanax bars, heroin, a myriad of pills, meth and multiple handguns. Authorities also found a cardboard box behind the passenger seat with cookies in one layer and five large plastic containers with a substance. There were two more plastic baths containing a substance and a Sig Sauer firearm in a purse, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Officials discovered the gun was stolen out of Corpus Christi and the substance they found was 5,806 grams of meth with a purity level of 94 percent.

Talley and Samora will be sentenced in November by U.S. District Judge David S. Morales, according to U.S. Attorney's Office.

They face up to life in federal prison and a possible $10 million maximum fine. Talley and Samora will remain in custody pending sentencing.

The Drug Enforcement Administration conducted the investigation with the assistance of the Victoria Police Department.

Re that fearmongering acab post, I cannot find any articles about "people getting out after 18 months for killing a cop that broke into their house and was mistaken for a robber"

You have any links?

It’s almost midnight here when I saw this so I only grabbed 2 links. First one is an acquittalc, but I don’t remember how long her did or didn’t spend in jail waiting for his acquittal. Second one is a guy who spent 2 years waiting for the outcome of his trial where he was acquitted.

The best place to find info on this stuff is looking up case law, fyi.

Understanding Car Accident Lawsuits in Corpus Christi

In the bustling city of Corpus Christi, Texas, the roads can be both a lifeline and a danger zone. With thousands of vehicles traversing its streets daily, car accidents are an unfortunate reality. When these accidents occur, they often leave victims grappling with physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens. In such challenging times, seeking the assistance of a car accident lawyer in Corpus Christi becomes imperative. This comprehensive guide aims to shed light on the intricacies of car accident lawsuits in Corpus Christi, empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to navigate the legal process effectively.

Understanding Car Accidents in Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi's vibrant atmosphere and thriving economy contribute to its bustling traffic conditions. However, with increased traffic comes an elevated risk of accidents. Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and intoxicated motorists further compound this risk. According to statistics from the Texas Department of Transportation, Corpus Christi witnessed over 5,000 crashes in 2023 alone, highlighting the pressing need for legal recourse for accident victims.

Legal Framework for Car Accident Lawsuits

Navigating the legal landscape of car accident lawsuits requires a nuanced understanding of Texas's laws. In Corpus Christi, these lawsuits typically fall under personal injury law, where victims seek compensation for damages resulting from another party's negligence. Texas operates under a modified comparative fault system, meaning that even if the victim shares some responsibility for the accident, they can still pursue compensation, provided their fault does not exceed 50%. Additionally, Texas imposes a two-year statute of limitations for filing personal injury claims, underscoring the importance of prompt legal action.

Role of Car Accident Lawyers

Car accident lawyers play a pivotal role in advocating for the rights of accident victims and navigating the complexities of the legal system on their behalf. These legal professionals possess specialized knowledge of Texas's car accident laws and leverage their expertise to build compelling cases for their clients. From conducting thorough investigations to negotiating with insurance companies and representing clients in court, car accident lawyers in Corpus Christi offer comprehensive legal support every step of the way.

The Legal Process: From Investigation to Resolution

The legal process for car accident lawsuits in Corpus Christi typically unfolds in several stages. Initially, the lawyer conducts a comprehensive investigation to gather evidence, including police reports, eyewitness testimonies, and medical records. This evidence forms the foundation of the case and helps establish liability for the accident. Subsequently, the lawyer enters into negotiations with the at-fault party's insurance company to secure a fair settlement for the victim. If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial, where the lawyer advocates for the victim's rights before a judge and jury. Throughout this process, the lawyer serves as a staunch advocate for the victim, striving to achieve the best possible outcome.

Types of Compensation Available

In car accident lawsuits, victims may be entitled to various forms of compensation to cover their losses and expenses. These may include:

Medical Expenses: Compensation for past and future medical bills related to the accident, including hospitalization, surgeries, medication, and rehabilitation.

Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost due to the inability to work following the accident, including wages, bonuses, and benefits.

Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish endured as a result of the accident and injuries sustained.

Property Damage: Coverage for the repair or replacement of damaged property, such as vehicles, personal belongings, and infrastructure.

Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the negative impact of the accident on the victim's relationships with their spouse or family members.

Choosing the Right Car Accident Lawyer

Selecting the right car accident lawyer is crucial for the success of a personal injury claim. When seeking legal representation in Corpus Christi, individuals should consider the following factors:

Experience: Look for a lawyer with a proven track record of success in handling car accident cases and extensive experience practicing law in Texas.

Specialization: Choose a lawyer who specializes in personal injury law and has specific expertise in handling car accident lawsuits.

Reputation: Research the lawyer's reputation within the legal community and read client testimonials to gauge their credibility and professionalism.

Communication: Opt for a lawyer who prioritizes clear and transparent communication, keeping clients informed about the progress of their case and addressing any concerns promptly.

Resources: Ensure that the lawyer has the necessary resources and support staff to handle the complexities of a car accident lawsuit effectively.

By carefully evaluating these factors, individuals can make informed decisions when selecting a car accident lawyer Corpus Christi, thereby maximizing their chances of a favorable outcome.

Conclusion

Car accidents can have devastating consequences, leaving victims with physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial hardships. In Corpus Christi, navigating the legal aftermath of a car accident requires skilled legal representation to advocate for the victim's rights and secure fair compensation. By understanding the legal framework, enlisting the services of a reputable car accident lawyer, and pursuing the appropriate avenues for compensation, accident victims can embark on the path to recovery with confidence and resilience.

St. Louis firefighter charged with possessing child sex abuse material after IP address tracked to firehouse

Prosecutors charged Jarret Morton, 50, with two counts of possessing child sex abuse material.

***According to a probable cause statement, investigators received a tip on Jan. 30 referring to two files constituting child sexual abuse material.  The files were stored on Dropbox, and were accessed twice on Jan. 11. The screen name used with the Dropbox was Jarret Morton, and his email address contained "stlfd," the acronym for St. Louis Fire Department. Police identified Morton as the owner of the Dropbox account, and the IP address used to access the files was traced to Engine House No. 5 in the St. Louis Place neighborhood. Police said the files were accessed during times Morton was working at the firehouse and that he had access to the station's secured WiFi.

Breaking the law by computer is still breaking the law

The Justice Department joined by the Federal Trade Commission (collectively the “Agencies”), filed a statement of interest with the District of New Jersey in the case of Cornish-Adebiyi v. Caesars Entertainment, which explains that hotels cannot collude on room pricing and cannot use an algorithm to engage in practices that would be illegal if done by a real person. Companies across the economy are increasingly using algorithms to determine their prices. When a small group of algorithm providers can influence a major segment of a market, competitors are better able to use the algorithm provider to facilitate collusion. This risk is even greater as markets have become more concentrated across a wide range of industries. Algorithms that recommend prices to numerous competing hotels make it harder for travelers to comparison-shop for the best rate. In their statement, the Agencies highlight two key aspects of competition law. First, plaintiffs do not need to identify direct communications between competitors to allege an agreement under Section 1 of the Sherman Act, particularly when they allege that an algorithm provider that works with the competitors is acting in concert with them. Competitors cannot lawfully cooperate to set their prices, whether via their staff or an algorithm, even if the competitors never communicate with each other directly. Second, an agreement to use shared pricing recommendations, list prices or pricing algorithms is still unlawful even when co-conspirators retain some pricing discretion. Setting or recommending initial starting prices can still violate the antitrust laws even if those are not the prices that consumers ultimately pay.*** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-and-federal-trade-commission-file-statement-interest-hotel-room

All the cops and all the tech in the world won't keep you safe if you don't lock up criminals

New York City mayor Eric Adams (D.) on Thursday announced the city will start using gun scanners in its subway stations amid a surge in violent crime in recent months. Adams [said] that the weapon detection system would not record any commuter’s face or identification.  Adams noted the new technology would allow NYPD officers to monitor on a screen as commuters walk through the scanners. A weapon’s location would show up as orange on the screen, enabling officers to conduct an immediate search.  The gun detectors, however, will not be put into use until late June due to the city’s Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology Act passed in 2020, which requires the NYPD to wait at least 90 days before rolling out a surveillance system at a new location. The same scanners have already been installed at some venues in the Big Apple, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, CitiField stadium, and One Vanderbilt.*** https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/nyc-mayor-unveils-gun-scanners-in-subway-amid-violent-crime-surge

Exhibit 1

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – The manhunt continues Monday morning for an alleged gunman who entered a Nashville restaurant during Sunday brunch on Easter and opened fire, killing a man and injuring four others. The Metro Nashville Police Department says 46-year-old felon Anton Rucker remains on the run after the shooting that terrified customers inside Roasted on Garfield Street in Salemtown, a neighborhood located northwest of downtown Nashville. Rucker is wanted for homicide in connection to the deadly shooting, in which 33-year-old Allen Beachem was killed and four others were shot. Police pointed out in social media posts that Rucker has a lengthy criminal record. Police said he was arrested in Murfreesboro on felony drug charges in October and aggravated assault charges last August. Court records show Rucker was convicted of the lesser charge of assault in November 2014, after pleading no contest to a charge of aggravated assault on an officer. In 2009, Rucker faced more than a dozen counts of aggravated assault but was convicted on three counts, according to court records. A year earlier, Rucker was convicted on two felony counts of aggravated assault in October 2008, court records show. While keeping violent offenders off the street has been a purported priority for Nashville lawmakers and authorities, substantial legislation to combat this has only been directed at those who have been deemed incompetent to stand trial. That legislation came after the shooting and killing of Belmont student Jillian Ludwig. Months before the 18-year-old was killed, her suspected killer was released from custody after three doctors deemed him incompetent to stand trial.*** https://www.wsmv.com/2024/04/01/gunman-who-allegedly-opened-fire-inside-nashville-restaurant-easter-has-criminal-past/

Videotaping crimes, not just for rappers anymore

The 32-year-old YouTuber who filmed himself driving from Colorado Springs to Denver in 20 minutes while reaching speeds over 150 mph on Interstate 25 pleaded guilty to speed exhibition in a deal with the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Rendon Dietzmann, who posts on YouTube under the username Gixxer Brah, was arrested in Texas on Feb. 7 on a Colorado State Patrol warrant from December. Dietzmann was charged with seven misdemeanor and traffic crimes, including menacing and reckless endangerment, after he posted a since-deleted video driving over 150 mph on I-25 starting at Garden of the Gods Road, squeezing through small gaps between vehicles and weaving between lanes and the highway shoulder. Dietzmann pleaded guilty to speed exhibition and will pay a fine of up to $300, the $1,996 cost of his extradition to Colorado and court costs under the plea deal, according to the district attorney’s office.*** https://www.denverpost.com/2024/04/01/rendon-dietzmann-gixxer-brah-colorado-texas-motorcycle-speed/

Lot of time on their hands

NEW YORK (AP) — Inmates in New York are suing the state corrections department over the decision to lock down prisons during next Monday’s total solar eclipse. The suit filed Friday in federal court in upstate New York argues that the April 8 lockdown violates inmates’ constitutional rights to practice their faiths by preventing them from taking part in a religiously significant event. The plaintiffs are six men with varying religious backgrounds who are incarcerated at the Woodbourne Correctional Facility in Woodbourne. They include a Baptist, a Muslim, a Seventh-Day Adventist and two practitioners of Santeria, as well as an atheist. “A solar eclipse is a rare, natural phenomenon with great religious significance to many,” the complaint reads, noting that Bible passages describe an eclipse-like phenomenon during Jesus’ crucifixion while sacred Islamic works describes a similar event when the Prophet Muhammad’s son died.*** https://apnews.com/article/solar-eclipse-prison-lawsuit-new-york-3b6af5a2f1f8f320a1ed4918a560b525

When you don't have effective law enforcement

A Fairfax County, Virginia, female police officer was recently surrounded in her vehicle and attacked by a street takeover gang. Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis shared the details of the attack that took place early Easter Sunday morning on the officer’s vehicle as she called in for help. The unidentified officer spotted the group doing donuts in an industrial area parking lot in Springfield, Virginia. When she approached the crowd in her vehicle, the large crowd surrounded her, shaking the police cruiser and attempting to break into the doors. “A huge crowd is hitting my car. I need units to expedite,” the police officer is heard saying in a video recording played at a Fairfax County police press conference on Wednesday.

One of the videos showed an individual waving a gun in the air. When more officers arrived, the crowd fled the scene. “The police exist to address crime and disorder. This is both crime and disorder. I don’t know anyone who has an appetite for this to continue,” Davis said Wednesday. The police chief shared several arrests of suspects they believe may be connected to Sunday’s incident. Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano was called out on social media following the street takeover. “You see what @FairfaxCountyCA policies have created in Fairfax County?” social media influencer Marky Mark posted on X. He added in another post, “But will @SteveDescano @FairfaxCountyCA charge them to the fullest extent of the law or plea them out?”

702 should be reauthorized, but violating FISA should be punished

The FBI is attempting to rehabilitate the public image of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act as Congress has until April 19 to reauthorize it. The bureau recently posted a video to X that features FBI Director Christopher Wray attempting to put a gloss on Section 702 as part of this monthslong campaign. The bureau's timely propaganda did not escape the attention of critics on X, where the post received a community note that read, "The FBI violated American citizens' 4A rights 278,000 times with illegal, unauthorized FISA 702 searches." Among the critics was Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who wrote, "FBI just got called out in a community note on X. Congress — take note. FISA 702 has been used for warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of times. Yet FBI demands 702 be reauthorized by April 19 WITHOUT a warrant requirement for searches of U.S. citizens." "Many in Congress will want to reauthorize FISA 702 — which is set to expire April 19th — either without modification or (more likely) with fake reforms that fail to impose a warrant requirement for searches directed at Americans," added the senator.*** https://www.theblaze.com/news/fbi-blasted-over-attempt-to-put-gloss-on-section-702

The difference is that Utah will probably fight effectively

The Utah Department of Corrections referred back to an earlier statement from March made by Executive Director Brian Redd, which said they were working to “address this complex issue.” “We have also taken steps on our own, and as a state, to address the needs of inmates while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Gang Member Jailed for Drug Trafficking

A Major Blow to Drug Trafficking

Sentencing of a Notorious Gang Member In a significant victory for law enforcement, Phil Cuellar III, a 36-year-old Corpus Christi resident and documented member of the notorious Tango Blast gang, was sentenced to over 14 years in federal prison for drug trafficking-related charges. The conviction follows a comprehensive multiagency investigation.   Collaborative Law Enforcement Effort This successful operation was a collaborative effort by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Corpus Christi, the Drug Enforcement Administration Houston, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Houston, FBI Houston, and the Corpus Christi Police Department.  

The Case Against Phil Cuellar III

Evidence of Drug Trafficking The investigation into Cuellar's criminal activities began when he attempted to sell narcotics via social media. A search warrant executed at his residence uncovered a significant quantity of methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, THC cartridges, nearly $20,000 in cash, and a stolen loaded firearm.   Cuellar's Criminal History During the sentencing hearing, the court received evidence of Cuellar's extensive criminal record, including previous felony drug possession convictions with intent to deliver, evading arrest, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.  

Implications of the Sentencing

Strengthening Community Safety Cuellar's sentencing represents a critical step in combating gang-related drug trafficking in Texas. By removing a key player in the narcotics trade, this action significantly contributes to enhancing community safety and disrupting criminal networks.   A Message of Zero Tolerance This case sends a strong message of zero tolerance towards gang-affiliated drug trafficking activities. It underscores the commitment of U.S. law enforcement agencies to prosecute and penalize those involved in such illegal operations.  

The Future for Cuellar

Custody and Prison Transfer Currently, in custody, Phil Cuellar III will soon be transferred to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility. The decision regarding his placement will be made in due course, marking the next phase of his 178-month sentence.   Ongoing Law Enforcement Vigilance The successful prosecution of Cuellar highlights the ongoing vigilance of law enforcement agencies in tackling drug trafficking and gang-related crimes. This case stands as a testament to the effectiveness of multiagency collaboration in upholding law and order.   Round Up The sentencing of Phil Cuellar III marks a significant milestone in the fight against drug trafficking in Corpus Christi, Texas. The collaborative efforts of multiple law enforcement agencies have successfully brought a high-profile gang member to justice, demonstrating the strength and resolve of the U.S. legal system in combating organized crime. This case reaffirms the commitment of authorities to ensure community safety and maintain the rule of law against the scourge of drug-related criminal activities.   Sources: THX News & US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

First family event I took my kids to on the TAMUCC campus was an orchestra performance. There was a CCPD Officer there working the parking lot in a CCPD uniform.

"That's that bitch that thinks she's a police officer."

Just like with the Corpus Christi Independent School District, the university police chose to bury my complaints for the sake of protecting one of their own.

I never took my kids to another event on campus.

[laraxfitzgerald]

Name: Lara Siobhan Fitzgerald  Nicknames: L. Gender/Pronouns: Cis-Woman, Her/Hers  Age: 40  Birthday: August 14th, 1982  Zodiac: Leo Sun, Leo Rising, Scorpio Moon  Hometown: Corpus Christi, Texas  Neighborhood: Moonbeam Gardens  Occupation: Lawyer at the Fitzgerald Law Firm // Leader of the Westies gang Sexuality: Hetero.

It was Lara’s great-grandfather who established The Westies gang back in Corpus Christi, Texas in the beginning of the last century upon his arrival from Ireland. Ever since then the well-known gang has ruled Texas with its members being infiltrated in police, government, universities, hospitals.. you name it. Some called Westies mafia, some called Westies family.. to Lara the gang was certainly the latter. However, despite the fact that it’s always been Lara’s path to take over the role of the gang’s leader, she didn’t like the idea very much in her teenage years so she focused on her studies, getting herself into the Yale Law School. She was successful, graduating with summa cum laude, but the gang life was in her blood. It was hard to ignore her family, their way of living when it was the only thing Lara has ever known.. it was hard to resist her true calling.

Lara had to become the boss at the age of being only twenty-seven years old upon the untimely and tragic death of her father.. the revenge is still to be executed. It was that happening that made Lara into what she is today.. a charming, yet very dangerous and fearless head of the family, as she calls it. The young boss realized how strong she could be, how the girl that lived a protected life, could, if she wanted, fight her own battles and protect herself when it came down to it. Lara realized with time, how much more like her father she really is when pushed to the limits.

The boss values family and tradition and leads her empire like her father. Or perhaps some would say she’s more manipulative and dominating, always keeping you in the darkness about her next move. She doesn’t have many rules for you as a member of her team, only to follow her exact directions and your alliance is expected; after all, you wouldn’t last without around her. Lara can come off a bit cold and ruthless to those who do not know her, especially to those that cross her. Nevertheless, if you are in her family, you get to see the kind woman Lara Fitzgerald truly is.. the one who’s lifetime dream was to help people. However, she does help them still, just in a different way, no? But make no mistake, Lara Fitzgerald will always be on the lookout for her family first and if there came a time when someone would try to cross her or ruin her family — well, you know exactly what Lara would do, without hesitation.

Today, life brought her to Roswell, New Mexico. It was time to expand her law firm and to open a branch here. However, the real reason behind the move was that the Westies had to expand their territory.. Texas isn’t enough anymore. Secondly, some of the former members are already here.. just as some are already waiting to be called in by their leader to fight in a war that would bring Roswell into the hands of the Westies.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Texas woman was sentenced to two years in federal prison for sending meth-laced papers disguised as mail to the Coastal Bend Detention Center following an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Corpus Christi and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, the GEO Group, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Corpus Christi Police Department, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Bureau of Prisons and the FBI Miami Task Force.Gail Hostetter, a 54-year-old resident of Corpus Christi, was sentenced in the Southern District of Texas to serve two years in federal prison to be immediately followed by two years of supervised release for knowingly and intentionally possessing and attempting to provide methamphetamines to an inmate. Hostetter pleaded guilty to the charges July 21. On Jan. 29, 2021, Hostetter mailed a letter purporting to be from a local law firm to an inmate at CBDC. However, facility staff intercepted it and sent it for testing. The mail tested positive for meth. Law enforcement subsequently executed a search warrant on Hostetter’s residence, where they found additional empty envelopes preaddressed from various local law firms. The investigation revealed the inmate devised the plan and recruited Hostetter among others to mail meth-laced papers into the detention center. The scheme involved creating envelopes designed to look like legal mail. At the time of her plea, Hostetter admitted to mailing meth into a jail facility on at least one other occasion. Hostetter will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future. Assistant U.S. Attorneys John Marck and Christopher Marin prosecuted the case.
