Susan Murphy-Milano’s Insight

Mexico, Guanajuato, Colorful houses on hill

Susan Murphy-Milano’ writes an intriguing post about Bruce and Monica Beresford-Redman that is well worth reading. How many people travel to foreign countries, and have no idea of the laws of the country where they are going? Have you ever thought about how the laws of another country could aid a person with bad intentions and allow that person to escape justice?

Few people think about that when they travel to exotic locales for sun and fun, or to rejuvenate a troubled relationship. If you’ve never given it thought, its well worth a minute. Had Monica’s family thought about it, and considered the risks, it may have saved her life.

If you know someone who is in a troubled or violent relationship, Susan’s new book, Time’s Up, is the perfect gift. It’s also got a five star review! I love what she has come up with:

If you, as a reader, are not aware of what an Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit is, it is a formal signed and notarized series of documents, along with video testimony, that can be used in a court of law if someone in a violent relationship is either missing or murdered. It can bypass all hearsay laws because it’s done in the “potential” victim’s own voice, own words and used like a will in the event that something happens.

Have you ever seen “Locked Up Abroad” on NatGeo? It’s haunting….the stuff of nightmares. It shows how little most Americans know about foreign justice and makes you think twice of traveling, which I have always been very fond of.

Fergie Confesses Instead of Lies

Isn’t that just slightly refreshing? She got caught red handed, being a snake, but at least she didn’t lie about it! I guess she couldn’t with undercover video, could she?

This behavior from her surprises me. She must be quite desperate. She is looking the worst I have ever seen her look before.

Jesse James Eyes: Lies?


Nightline Video: Jesse James on Abuse

Watch Jesse James in this interview with Nightline as he talks about his abuse. “I never had a chance to be a kid. I just remember the clenched teeth, the strained neck look on his face, you know?”

Read moreThe reporter says, “Did he beat you?” James responds, “He beat my ass good a bunch of times.” Isn’t that a little vague? He remembers his dad’s clenched teeth and strained neck first?

“Football star, bike builder, monster garage TV star, all that stuff is a huge smoke screen so people won’t see I’m a scared abused kid….a seven year old.”

Was he only seven when he was abused??

When James says this stuff about a smoke screen, watch for the twinkle in his eye. He is glowing when he says this and shows zero stress about painful memories liked he wants us to believe. James lied to Sandra…is he trying to pull the wool on us too?

James recounts the abuse, I guess, when he says, “I tripped over this little low fence wire and snapped my wrist and I remember my dad laughed at me when I hit the ground and called me a dummy.”

Is that the abuse? How many parents have lost it and done this to their children? While its not in good taste, we all get pushed to the edge in life at times.

James continues, “I was petrified of my dad… It wasn’t so much getting the sh** beat out of me or getting my arm broken or getting kicked or whatever or punched, it was the in-between time [smile], the fear of that happening again. I was a terrorized kid.”

Does anyone know what this means? It sounds like a bunch of bunk, if you ask me. Does this sound like the recollections of abuse? James seems to really be digging deep.

James says, “It’s really tough for me to think about now, because……….[it appears James is thinking here and then tears appear…is he working it?] Sonny was the age that I was…when my dad broke my arm.”

Whoa! Are we talking about the same incident above about the snapped wrist or this another incident? Wouldn’t that be a huge memory for you over the clenched teeth and strained neck? Why the lack of details on the biggest abuse disclosed yet?

Notice the lack of stress in his forehead through the entire segment.

James has me questioning things. Is he exaggerating, fabricating or telling us the truth? This is not a high stake lie so I don’t think we can say anything conclusively, but remember, James has already admitted he lied to Sandra a lot, should we believe him now?

Stay tuned tomorrow as I look at his dad’s side of the story…

Jesse James: Be Warned


You can see all the interview at RadarOnline.

When I watch Jesse James in the interview from ABC’s Nightline, I see a man who feels threatened by Sandra. I absolutely believe him when he says, “It’s about trying to push someone away that I thought was going to leave anyway.” At another point in the interview, he says, “I never felt good enough for anyone.” When James says this, I absolutely believe him.

I personally believe James saw what Sandra was made of, and felt he could never complete. Instead of dealing with his shortcomings and improving himself, James took the easy way out and indulged himself with people that made him feel worthy and important–without any regard for how that would impact his marriage or his children.

It appears this is all about James, and no one else.

James wants to feel like he is the top dog and that’s where he strayed–in circles where he felt he was the star. With Sandra, he was never going to get that. That’s why I think he truly wanted to get caught. I think he wanted his marriage to end, because he couldn’t handle Sandra getting all the attention. It just reinforced to James all of his shortcomings and he didn’t want any part of that!

James is strangely arrogant, if you ask me, which I wouldn’t expect if he was truly remorseful for what he did. While he owns up to his actions in words, his emotions are completely void and unsupportive. I simply see a man saying what he has to say without any conviction or buy in.

The only pain James feels is when he cries over his pain. This behavior, if you ask me, is a recipe for James to continue to be destructive towards others in his life. For me, it is a big warning to thread carefully. Arrogance and a lack of remorse are quite a devastating combination for those who come into James’ inner circle.

Thanks, to Celebitchy, for the story lead.

Schapelle Corby: Looking for Vids

I have been asked to review the Schapelle Corby case in Australia. A beautiful young woman went to Bali on vacation and when she arrived, she says she opened up her surfboard case and saw marijuana inside, but she says she did not put it there, and doesn’t know who did. The case has riveted Australia for years. Corby faced the death penalty, but got 20 years in a Bali prison instead.

I was forwarded this newscast below, but it is not enough for me to formulate any opinions. I saw footage a few years ago of her in court and if anyone finds that video, can you post a link below? I will keep you updated if I see anything that allows me to draw a definite conclusion.

What makes this case exceptionally hard is that with either innocence or guilt, Schappelle will have strong emotions about being locked up. She will undoubtedly feel pain, anger and frustration. That is to be expected regardless of her involvement, which means we have to look beyond that for clues…
