| | Clemens Searches For the Real Steroid Abusers | | 2007-12-27 10:24:00 | | I found it hilarious yesterday to learn that Roger Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, plans to launch an investigation into the allegations that his client was a big time steroid abuser in the Mitchell Report. In other words, this guy Hardin, who hasn't exactly dressed himself in glory throughout this mess, is going to launch an investigation into the investigation.That's really going to be objective, isn't it?Yep, Roger Clemens won't rest until he finds out who the real steroid abusers are. It certainly can't be him. You know this so-called investigation will do nothing but try to smear Brian McNamee, who basically rolled over on him and Andy Pettitte to George Mitchell and his investigators. Clemens basically lost any leg to stand on when his buddy Andy came clean (sort of) about the HGH McNamee supplied to him.And I really can't wait for that farce of an interview he'll do with Mike Wallace of "60 Minutes" on January 6. He also plans to do a press conference that day. And you ha | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |
| | Let's Jail Abusers, NOT Mothers ! ( 75 Percent of Imprisoned Women Across the Country are Mothers) | | 2007-07-09 14:10:00 | | California Investigates a Mother-and-Child Prison CenterLOS ANGELES, July 5 — The authorities in California are investigating accusations that poor health care at a center where mothers serve prison terms with their young children led to the stillbirth of a 7-month-old fetus and endangered the lives of several children.Staff logs, statements by prisoners and interviews with investigators, staff members and prisoners’ families depict a facility where inmates and their children were denied hospital visits and medications, and where no one kept adequate records of accidents involving injuries that included a skull fracture and a broken collarbone.With the state dogged by prison overcrowding, the Family Foundations Program had been considered a model for nonviolent female offenders. A provision for a similar program in Fresno, the state’s sixth for incarcerated mothers and their children, is in a new law that, to accommodate 53,000 more prisoners, provides $7.7 billion for prison con | | By: Elder Abuse | | |

| | Tennessee Won't Let Elder-Abusers off the Hook | | 2007-06-18 16:12:00 | | Crime now a felony that can't be erasedBy SHEILA WISSNER Staff WriterKathy Gentry was dumbfounded when she arrived at the hospital to find that part of her 78-year-old father's right ear lobe had been cut off.An investigation revealed that James Graham, who had Alzheimer's disease, had been assaulted by an aide in the nursing home where he had been living. Gentry could not believe anyone would do such a thing."I was shocked. Totally shocked,'' Gentry said. "He was a very sweet, quiet man.''Crimes against people like Graham in their twilight years are on the rise, state figures show, and are expected to continue growing as baby boomers age, experts say.Now, people convicted of such crimes in Tennessee will have a felony on their records because of legislation the General Assembly approved in the past two weeks. The governor signed it into law last week.Another new law prohibits those who abuse the elderly from getting their records expunged. That law goes into effect July 1."The | | By: Elder Abuse | | |

Called THE TASTE AND SMELL OF REAL ELDER ABUSEThe words of Indigo Star, a victim of abuse when she wrote in the post under the header Our Legal System - A Victim's Perspective - come to mind."The perpetrator then gets the added thrill of hearing this grueling and terrifying testimony of how deeply they have harmed someone and rather than instilling remorse, it gives them a sick sense of power and satisfaction. Many choose to challenge it as a further way of tormenting and terrorizing their victims." Are these people proud they did this ? Do they feel immune to prosecution?
