Caryn Kelley: Not Guilty?

/1 Comment/in /by

Have you heard of the Caryn Kelley and Phillip Peatross case?  Apparently one night they were arguing and fighting, and Phillip ended up dead.  He supposedly left the house and then came back again.  Both were drinking.  This happened in Orange County, Florida.

If you listen to everything Kelley says in the 911 call, you hear incredible inconsistencies in her story.  She does a “Jodi Arias” or a “Casey Anthony”. When people don’t buy her first story, she changes it over and over again–hoping like the two named before her that her latest story will stick.

And guess what?

One version finally did.

A jury bought that she acted in self-defense and let her go.

Unbelievable.

Listen to this 9-1-1 call.

Can you hear the inconsistencies?

Rob Ford: Honest or not?

/in /by

The first thing I notice with Rob Ford is his demeanor. If people are accusing you of doing something that could ruin your career that you did not do, you are not flippant, arrogant or cocky.

Ford says to the media, “As for a video, I cannot comment on a video that I have never seen or does not exist.”

This one jumps at me like a beacon in the night.  If you didn’t smoke crack cocaine, you would say unequivocally, “There is no video!  Period.”  But Rob seems to entertain it is a possibility by what he says that a video does exist.  He cannot comment on the video because he hasn’t seen it?  Or that it may not exist?  Really?

He continues, “I have been judged by the media without any evidence.”

This is fascinating because evidence would have no bearing if he knew he was telling the truth. He would say there is no evidence, plain and simple. There is no video. Period. But Ford cannot say that.  Did you notice?  It’s so telling.

Gawker may have raised the money to buy the video, but if someone, “eh-hmm”, offered the video owner more money than the $200K, what do you think will happen to that video?

Yes, it will disappear.

I do not believe Rob Ford.

Michael Peterson: Innocent or not?

For those of you who saw Dateline this past week, you likely saw the story of Michael and Kathleen Peterson. Michael is an author who claims his wife fell down the stairs and subsequently died from her fall.  He was tried and convicted of her murder, but his case has been overturned on some technicalities.

Oddly enough, Michael had a friend, Elizabeth Ratliff, many years ago in Germany who also fell down the stairs. The last person to see her alive?  Michael Peterson.

He is a gregarious and outgoing individual.  He is likely fun to be around. He knows how to socialize and smooze with the best of them, without question, so when you watch Michael Peterson talk, its really surprising he’d be the type to commit murder.

The newest element to the story is that there were microscopic feathers found in Michael Peterson’s wife’s hair upon exhumation that are consistent with an owl attack.  Michael Peterson’s defense attorney now wants us to believe she was attacked by an owl in the back of the head to help explain the many wounds to the back of her head–which by the way are consistent with the same wounds that Elizabeth Ratliff suffered as well.

I do not believe Michael Peterson at all nor do I believe an owl attacked his wife that night. I believe he is involved in the death of two women:  Kathleen Peterson and Elizabeth Ratliff.

Yanira Maldonaldo: Do you believe her?

Do you believe Yanira Maldonaldo?

She has been released because a video showed her and her husband getting on the bus with only two small blankets and bottles of water, which police believe could not hide 12 pounds of drugs.

I find this video fascinating because if you don’t understand the nuances of head shakes and shoulder shrugs, you would likely conclude this woman is being deceptive. 

I truly believe she is being honest.
