Injustice In Search of Exoneration
28:21 The Douglas Espino Story – Injustice in Search of Exoneration. Los Angeles is known as the “Gang Capital of America”. Over 39,000 gang members commit an estimated 7,000 violent crimes annually. Once, gang members used chains and knives to commit crimes. Now they use shotguns, automatic rifles, handguns and explosives. Once, victims of gang violence were rival gang members. Now the victims are often innocent bystanders and residents killed or injured by stray bullets . . . or people charged with crimes they did not commit. Certain gang-infested neighborhoods are also frighteningly similar to war zones. And in one of those LA neighborhoods, near Pico & Union Streets, on a typical Saturday night on June 7, 2008, a “non-gang member” named Douglas Espino became a “victim” of gangland violence and terror that threatens to change his life forever. Douglas was convicted on March 13, 2009 on 7 counts of attempted murder. He faces a life sentence in prison – for crimes he did not commit! He is innocent . . . and he’s a victim of LA’s gangs and the criminal justice system. This Insider Exclusive Special raises questions and issues about the breakdown in the criminal justice system for Douglas Espino, including:/n1. How eyewitnesses live in fear for the lives, but now come forward to try and exonerate Douglas. 2. How an overzealous prosecutor appears willing to win a conviction at any cost. 3. Why the LAPD has failed to look for the real shooter. 4. And how the Espino family claims that Douglas’ defense attorney failed to provide an adequate defense. This is Douglas Espino’s true story, as told through the eyes and words of his family, his friends and key eyewitnesses whose lives are “threatened” by LA’s most notorious gangs, but despite these real dangers, want to see justice done. Douglas can’t be with us today. He’s currently incarcerated in the LA County Jail, awaiting sentencing on June 25, 2009. Joining us to discuss his wrongful conviction are Charlene Rosen-Espino, Douglas’ sister-in-law and most active, outspoken champion, and Charlene’s father, Bob Rosen, a well respect securities attorney with the law firm of Rosen & Associates (www.rosen-law.com). Also joining us are Douglas’ mother, Maria Escalante; Douglas’ sister, Amanda Escalante, and some eyewitnesses who wish to remain anonymous for fear of gang retaliation.

Norb Vonnegut is a Wall Street insider, author and former wealth adviser who evaluated investment opportunities for clients.

A graduate of Harvard College and the Harvard Business School, Norb is also the author of Top Producer, a story about Wall Street hi-jinks gone fatal. Larry McShane is an acclaimed reporter who has written extensively about the Madoff scandal, providing the public with breaking news and insightful analysis about Madoff's many criminal acts.

Right to Die - Dr Jack Kevorkian.
28:20 Right to Die – Dr. Jack Kevorkian William James once said, “In any project the important factor is your belief. Without belief there can be no successful outcome.” Dr. Jack Kevorkian believes . . . and believes . . . and believes in every terminal patient’s right to physician-assisted suicide. He famously said that “dying is not a crime.” Passion and purpose go hand in hand. When you discover your purpose, you will normally find it’s something you’re tremendously passionate about. And that is the simple reason why Geoffrey Fieger became the lawyer for “Dr. Death,” Dr Jack Kevorkian. Both Jack and Geoff forced us to pay attention to one of the biggest elephants in society’s living room: the fact that today vast numbers of people are alive who would rather be dead, people who have lives not worth living. /nYou can contact Geoffrey Fieger at 248-355-5555, or www.fiegerlaw.com Added: 762 days ago From: insiderexclusive Views: 3,134,136 | Comments: 3

Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric
Peoples’s Story 43:40 Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric Peoples’s Story Popcorn Lung Disease, or Popcorn Workers Lung, appears mostly among factory workers in microwave popcorn plants. The illness is thought to be caused by the inhaled vapors of the butter flavoring (Diacetyl) used in microwave popcorn. The most likely victims of this illness are workers who mix the paste or powder forms of Diacetyl with oil to prepare it for use in the popcorn packets. Popcorn Lung Disease occurs most frequently in regions where the manufacture of microwave popcorn is a big industry. There are many such hotspots throughout the United States. Because the law firm of Humphries, Farrington, McClain, P.C. represents people from every state, including Eric Peoples, they have probably represented someone from your city or county already. They are familiar with the principal manufacturers of microwave popcorn. They know about plants, the owners and managers, and the litigation history of each hotspot. And that’s why they have successfully tried the only jury trials in the country, with over $53 million dollars in jury verdicts and hundreds of settlements against the manufacturers, who protest that it was the employers responsibility to follow safety instructions. Today The Insider Exclusive presents “Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric Peoples’s Story” – and shows how the flavoring Industry used workers like Eric Peoples as “Blue Collar Guinea Pigs” for years. Eric played by the rules; he worked to support his family. And the unregulated microwave popcorn industry virtually destroyed his life. Kenneth B. McClain began his firm’s asbestos practice in 1984, when he represented the Independence, Missouri school district. It was the first case in the country to return a verdict for a school district to recover the cost of removing asbestos from a building. Since then, Ken has represented asbestos personal injury victims and owners of buildings contaminated by asbestos across the United States. On October 6, 1997, he settled the first individual tobacco tort action in New York for Janet Sackman, the Lucky Strike poster model. A 1982 graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, Ken is a nationally recognized trial lawyer specializing in toxic tort cases throughout the country. Humphrey, Farrington McClain, P.C. is a 16-attorney firm located in Independence, Missouri. Our dedicated attorneys, paralegals and numerous support staff are experienced in handling asbestos bodily injury claims and building-contamination claim, as well as other tort and complex litigation matters involving toxic substances.

Ford's Deadly Truck Defects
26:40 Gerry Spence - Ford's Deadly Truck Defects. On July 26, 2003, at approximately 3:45 in the afternoon, Christopher Allison and his family were driving back to Pocatello, Idaho, from their family vacation in Washington. Christopher was driving a 1999 Ford Expedition and towing a 19-foot camp trailer. Another driver, Daniel Torrez, approached the Allisons’ from behind. Torrez fell asleep at the wheel, drove into the center median, ricocheted off that into the Allisons’ trailer, causing the trailer to jackknife and the Expedition to slide counterclockwise into the left lane. The Expedition slid off the road, overturned several times, ejecting three of the family members, crushing and killing Christopher and injuring all of the Allison family. Torrez and his passenger were not injured. Today, The Insider Exclusive will show you how the Allisons’ lawyers, Robert Krause and Emily Rankin of the Spence Law Firm, took on Ford Motor Company and successfully sued them for defective product design (door latch and component system, occupant restraint system, window glazing, roof structure) and got justice for the Allison family.

Native American Law – The Shell Game
of Daniel Edwin Jones 22:30 Native American Law – The Shell Game of Daniel Edwin Jones The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux are a federally recognized Indian tribe. Tribal members are the direct lineal descendants of the Mdewakanton Dakota people who resided in villages near the banks of the lower Minnesota River. They own more than 2,800 acres of land, and operate many thriving successful businesses, including the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel & the Little Six Casino. Mystic Lake Casino is The Twin Cities’ only casino hotel and one of the largest Midwest casinos, and features the finest in Midwest gaming combined with all the amenities of a luxury resort. As the largest employer in the county, they employ more than 4,100 people and are a powerful economic force. Their annual payroll is over $143.7 million. To the “Shock-Pay” Mdewakantonwan (“Medawák-ha?to?”) being a good neighbor is an extension of the cultural tradition of being a good relative. The Dakota people believe that all living beings are relatives and should be treated not only with dignity and respect, but also helped in their day-to-day lives. To honor their ancestors and continue their Dakota traditions, they believe that to “forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without root. Those who preserve their integrity remain unshaken by the storms of daily life. They do not stir like leaves on a tree or follow the herd where it runs.” In their mind remains the ideal attitude and conduct of living. This gift is not given to them by others; it is in their roots, a strength that exists deep within them. Daniel Edwin Jones is a member of this proud tribe, but definitely does not live up to its high standard of integrity and tradition! In 2008, Fred Soucie, lawyer for Brittany Powell’s mom and sister, successfully settled a civil case against Jones, wherein he agreed to pay $2 million to the family of Brittany Powell, in installments of one $500,000 payment, plus $10,000 per month for 12 months, and $20,000/mo for 69 months. Jones paid $10,000/month for 12 months and now has refused to pay anything else. As an adult member of the “Shock-Pay” Mdewakantonwan (“Medawák-ha?to?”) he earns $900,000 yearly. That’s $900,000 each and every year. He just bought a big mansion and a Mercedes, but refuses to pay any more money per his legally signed agreement, and is now using the “sovereign Immunity” of his Indian tribe as a cover and a cop-out. Jones’ outrageous conduct reopened the wounds of grief for Brittany’s family. Jones is rubbing salt in those wounds. He is arrogant, he’s flippant and he is dismissive; and he has never shown any remorse whatsoever .He flaunts his wealth by arranging for a big black limo to pick him up after court hearings. He makes flippant remarks to Brittany’s lawyers outside of the courtroom after hearings. His attitude is “Ha ha, you can’t touch me. I’m a Native American and I don’t have to worry about breaching my promises because you can’t touch me. I’m protected by Sovereign Nation Status.” Today the Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines to expose Daniel Edwin Jones and find out how Brittany’s family and their lawyer, Fred Soucie, plan to get justice for Brittany, her mom (Victoria Powell Smith), and her sister (Ariel Powell). And we are sure that the proud “Shock-Pay” Mdewakantonwan (“Medawák-ha?to?”) tribe does not condone nor approve of Daniel Edwin Jones’ conduct since he does not live up to the great traditions of being a good neighbor and holding that all living beings are relatives and should be treated not only with dignity and respect, but also helped in their day-to-day lives. Fred Soucie has a national reputation in catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death matters of all kinds. His clients are treated with the utmost care and respect. Fred consistently obtains some of the most significant settlements and jury verdicts in Minnesota. Fred has handled numerous catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. He is especially recognized for his cases against power companies for electrical injury and death as well as for his work against gas companies for gas explosion injury and death. After law school, Fred worked on a clam boat on the Atlantic Ocean out of Ocean City, Maryland. He learned there is a “right way”, a “wrong way”, and the “Captain Wayne Watson way” to do things—always do things to the best of your ability. Fred took “Captain Wayne’s way” to heart. Fred survived an airplane crash early on in his legal career and knows what it’s like to be injured and have your injuries doubted and disputed by insurance companies. Fred is proud to be an injury lawyer for justice. He takes an active role in supporting community organizations, especially those who support injured victims. The thing Fred is proudest of is what clients say about the firm's service to them during troubled times. Soucie Law has helped thousands of clients recover millions of dollars for personal injury and wrongful death victims. Experienced in some of the most high profile cases in Minnesota against formidable insurance, municipal, and corporate opponents, the firm’s attorneys have prevailed for clients whose only mistake was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Car crashes, semi tractor trailer collisions, motorcycle injuries, ATV accidents, bicycle accidents, work injuries, power line and electrical injury, gas explosions, fire and burn injury, farm accidents, air place accidents, and wrongful death...these are just some of the cases the attorneys at Soucie Law have handled for clients.

Terminix & Georgia DOT On July 24, 2003, Tonya Mitcham, a mother of four, was driving on I-75 in South Georgia in a severe rainstorm and was fatally struck by a Terminix Company utility truck, which slid out of control and crossed the median, killing Tonya and gravely injuring one of her surviving children, Mallory. The Terminix truck had extremely worn out tires, one with 87,000 miles on it, and was sent out in inclement weather despite two employee requests for new tires. The Insider Exclusive will show how Jim Butler and Matt Cook of the law firm of Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer revealed how Terminix concealed and covered up key statements of management employees, and how the Georgia’s Department of Transportation was liable because a blocked highway drain caused rain water to flood the roadway.

The Silent Epidemic – Nursing Home
Care Abuse 49:39 The Silent Epidemic – Nursing Home Care Abuse Choosing a nursing home can cause a lot of anxiety and feelings of guilt for families. The decision to place a family member under the care of a nursing home facility is usually made when health and/or mental capabilities have declined and the family is no longer able to sufficiently care for their loved one. All facilities must insure and protect the rights of every resident and provide a clean, healthy, attractive environment. Residents are entitled to treatment regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, ability to pay, or source of payment. Every resident has the right to request the name and function of all individuals providing them service and the identification of other health care facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, and other institutions that may provide them with services. You may not be aware that you can review the state surveys of each home that you have an interest in because Medicare and Medicaid facilities are required by law to let you see their survey reports. Signs to look for that may indicate improper care at a nursing home include strong smells of urine and feces, vests and other devices that tie or hold people down in their beds, lack of privacy, lack of dignity, unanswered calls for help, inactivity and loneliness, and lack of help with eating. Every resident has the right to receive medical care, nursing care, rehabilitative and restorative therapies, and personal hygiene in a safe, clean environment. Also, residents have the right to be fully informed of his/her medical condition unless the physician indicates in the medical records that it is not in the best interest of the patient to be told. Residents have the right to be advised by a physician or appropriate professional staff of alternative courses of care and treatments and their consequences. It is imperative to do your homework when choosing a nursing home facility to avoid any instances of foreseeable abuse, neglect, and death that continue to be reported within nursing home facilities nationwide every day. Every resident has the right to be treated with consideration, respect, and dignity in full recognition of his/her individuality. This includes privacy during medical treatment and care of personal needs. People not involved in the care of the resident should not be present during examinations and treatment without consent from the resident. Every resident should be encouraged and assisted to exercise his/her right to voice grievances and recommend changes in policies and services to facility staff and/or outside representatives of his/her choice without fear of coercion, discrimination, or reprisal. As this next tragic story with Corine Kennedy – a 92-year-old woman – proves, everything went wrong. In 2004, Corine was sexually molested by one of St John’s Nursing Home’s “Certified Nursing Assistants,” Joseph Piccoli, on four separate occasions at their Jackson Hole Wyoming facility. Reports had been made to the management of St. John’s Nursing Home about these four independent acts of sexual molestation, yet the management of St. John’s Nursing Home denied they had ever received any report of sexual misconduct, and refused to do anything about them. You will see and hear sworn testimony of some of St John’s employees who reported having seen Piccoli’s sexual misconduct. And then these employees suffered retaliation by certain managers and supervisors. Each one gives detailed and graphic descriptions of personal observations that Piccoli engaged in obvious sexual conduct with Corine Kennedy, and how they had each reported what they had seen to their managers. Yet no investigation was conducted. Today the Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines to report how Vance Countryman, the lawyer for the children of Corine Kennedy, confronted the administration of St John’s Nursing Home with its failure to protect their mother from Piccoli, who had repeatedly abused her.

Tenn Supreme Crt - Gary West’s Story
35:30 The Tennessee Supreme Court – Gary L. West’s Story On Sep 2, 2005, The Tennessee Supreme Court issued a landmark decision: Gary L. West v. East Tennessee Pioneer Oil. The ruling expanded potential liability in sales to inebriated customers. “Tennessee businesses selling products to visibly intoxicated people are subject to more liability.” The Court found that a convenience store had a duty not to sell gasoline to an inebriated customer who later was involved in a head-on collision. This landmark Case is the basis of this True Story that lead up to that Decision On July 22, 2000, Gary West was traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 11W, in Knox County, Tennessee, in the dead of night. On the exact same night and exactly at the same time, on the very same road, Brian Lee Tarver was driving southbound in the wrong northbound lane. Tarver crashed head-on into West’s automobile causing severe personal injury and property damage. Just minutes before the accident, Tarver had been a customer at a gas station’s convenience store located at 7606 Rutledge Pike. Pioneer Oil was the owner/operator of that store. The store clerk, Dorothy Thomas, testified that on the night of the accident, Tarver was visibly “drunk” and “staggering” while at the store immediately prior to the accident. She refused his drunken demand to buy beer, but she did choose to sell the same very drunk Tarver three dollars ($3.00) worth of gasoline. After buying the gas, Tarver was so drunk that he couldn’t even walk out the store’s door properly. And more importantly, not only did he stagger to the pumps; he couldn’t even pump the gas in his car. Another employee, Candice Drinnon, actually had to help him pump the gas, because he was too drunk to figure out how to do so himself! Ms. Drinnon then watched as Tarver drove away going southbound in the wrong lane of traffic without his headlights on. At no time did any of the gas station’s employees attempt to notify the police of Tarver’s actions and his obviously intoxicated state. Today, The Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines to meet Greg Coleman of Coleman Edwards, who successfully took this case all the way to the Tennessee Supreme Court to fight for and get justice for Gary West.
