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.

Justice Denied - The James Stevens
Story. 10:0 Today, we examine the unjust legal quagmire of the case of James Stevens (an African American), who won an $18.4 million dollar judgment in Oct. 2006 after he sued his former employer, the supermarket chain and Fortune 500 company, Vons, for sexual harassment and retaliation. The Law Offices of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg and the Law Offices of Davis & Gavsie, PLC, helped James secure this important judgment against his harasser who was also his supervisor (a Caucasian woman). Her lewd sexual innuendos and overtures made the work environment intolerable for James. As a result of the conduct he endured at Vons and the stresses of the litigation that followed, James suffered tremendous losses. At one point, he considered suicide. Unfortunately, the trial court judge reduced his combined verdict to $2.4 million. The judge gave James a choice--either accept the reduction or have a completely new trial on the damages. James opted to accept the reduction while maintaining his right to appeal the judge's reduction. An appellate court in California upheld the reduction of the jury verdict. The California Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal of that decision and he is now appealing his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Joining James is Areva Martin, the attorney currently managing his appeal, and Malik Ali, Vice Chairman of Justice Inc., a non-profit organization founded to help others avoid the injustices James faced.

Andrew and his distinguished guests show us how Wall Street insiders wrecked the global economy, destroyed the American Dream and enriched themselves at the expense of the taxpayer. Far more than an attack against our financial system, the Wall Street insiders responsible for this catastrophe have waged a massive power grab that threatens to undermine our government. With virtually no oversight and billions of dollars having seemingly vanished, the United States is on the brink of going bankrupt - while bankers reap huge bonuses and have Congress take ownership of one failing business after another, from General Motors to Chrysler to AIG. Unless immediate action is taken, we risk sacrificing our solvency and influence as a great power. Andrew Entwistle is the Managing Partner of Entwistle & Cappucci LLP. Andrew's practice principally involves the representation of public and private institutional investors in complex litigation and corporate finance and transactional matters.

For example, Andrew's recent representation of the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association in In re Royal Ahold N.V. Securities and ERISA Litigation led to a recovery of more than $1.1 billion for his clients. Andrew is also actively engaged in the defense of institutional investors and international businesses in complex securities, antitrust, bankruptcy and corporate finance related matters. Entwistle & Cappucci LLP is a national law firm with eight offices strategically located throughout the country to best serve clients' diverse needs.

POLICE BRUTALITY CASES - HARRIS v CITY
OF MILWAUKEE 28:20 Police Brutality Cases - Curtis Harris v. Kevin Clark & City of Milwaukee & City of Milwaukee Police Dept On a cold freezing night in Milwaukee, December 10, 2003, Curtis Harris was arrested in his home on a routine “disorderly conduct” charge, handcuffed and then punched in the face and shoved in the mud by former Milwaukee Police Officer Kevin Clark. Dragged to the Milwaukee Police Jail, Curtis walked into the Milwaukee booking room, where his life changed forever when Clark deliberately and maliciously used excessive force, throwing Curtis headfirst into a concrete wall for no reason whatsoever, rendering him a quadriplegic for the rest of his life.

Orange County Sheriff's Department et al. Matthew Fleuret's attorneys, Stephen Bernard and David Brown, say he was arrested two years ago on suspicion of obstructing a deputy after a bar fight in San Clemente, California.

Flueret alleges he was tased at least 11 times. The video also appears to show a deputy slamming Fleuret in the head as he sat on a bench in the jail. The video was released as part of the discovery process in Fleuret's lawsuit. It comes a few months after a drunken homeless man died after being tased in the Orange County jail.

Murdered by Mumia
9:47 Murdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Loss, Pain, and Injustice. Maureen Faulkner, the widow of slain Philadelphia police officer Danny Faulkner, is featured in an exciting, exclusive, in-depth and inside interview, discussing her new book/nMurdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Loss, Pain, and Injustice. Maureen's husband was shot between the eyes on a cold December night in 1981. Mumia Abu-Jamal was unanimously convicted of the crime by a racially mixed jury based on: the testimony of several eyewitnesses, his ownership of the murder weapon, matching ballistics, and Abu-Jamal's own confession. After his conviction, however, a national anti-death penalty movement was started to "Free Mumia;" Mike Farrell, Ed Asner, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jesse Jackson rallied on his behalf, and led the charge. For his part, while on death row, Abu-Jamal published several books, delivered radio commentaries, was a college commencement speaker, found himself named an Honorary Citizen of France, and had his defense coffers enhanced by ticket sales from a sold out (16,000-person) concert featuring Rage Against the Machine. Now, with this interview Maureen carefully and definitively lays out the case against Abu-Jamal, and those who've elevated him to the status of political prisoner. As Abu-Jamal's lawyers contemplate their final appeal, Faulkner weaves a compelling, never-before-told account of one fateful night and the 25-year-long rewriting of history. She offers a vivid story that demands our attention and the pursuit of justice for her late husband./nYou can learn more about Maureen Faulkner at http://www.murderedbymumia.com Added: 470 days ago From: insiderexclusive Views: 57,291 | Comments: 0

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: 244 days ago From: insiderexclusive Views: 3,132,379 | Comments: 3
BIRD v. New Mexico State University
22:21 Racism in America – Bird v. Regents of New Mexico State University Las Cruces, is "The City of the Crosses,” the second largest city in New Mexico and the home of New Mexico State University (NSMU), founded in 1888, New Mexico's only land grant university. New Mexico State University began as an agricultural college and now it is a comprehensive institution dedicated to teaching, research, and service at the graduate and undergraduate level. The university also has an extensive international student population from countries in Central America, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The Total enrollment for NMSU main campus and branch campuses is 26,391. Minority enrollment at the main campus is more than 48 percent (41.4 percent Hispanic, 2.9 percent American Indian, 2.7 percent African-American and 1.3 percent Asian-American). Obviously, NMSU and Las Cruces have a long and proud history of ethnic traditions; and one would never, ever think that this university – the only research-extensive, land-grant, USA-Mexico border institution classified as Hispanic serving by the federal government – would become a battlefield of racial discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination. But it has, because of the actions and racist attitudes of a very small group of former NMSU faculty and regents – a place where five plaintiffs, Drs. Yelena Bird, Robert Buckingham, John Moraros, Satya Rao and Freedom Cheteni, received anonymous hate letters calling them the “N”-word or “N”-lover and warning them to leave NMSU “or else.” Other racist comments included threats to oust these Bird and Moraros from the university because “the academy is not the place for your kind of people” and that “few wetbacks and n*****s have your kind of education.” This blatant discrimination against four faculty members and one graduate student has resulted in many major changes at the University: The university president resident is gone; the president of the Board of Regents, too; as well as two other regents and a former associate dean. Today, The Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines concerning this incredible story of racism and retaliation at one of America’s and the Southwest’s most prestigious schools as Christopher Moody and and Julie Fritsch, at the firm at Moody & Warner, P.C., fight for social justice for Drs.

Portrait of The Greatest Generation
52:29 Portrait of The Greatest Generation - The Arthur and Loretta Murphy Story In this superb TV documentary, the Insider Exclusive’s Steve Murphy goes returns to Foxboro, Massachusetts, to tell through the stories of his parents, Arthur and Loretta Murphy, America's hero and heroine who came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America. As symbols of their generation, Arthur and Loretta defined the virtues of their era: duty, honor, hard work, bravery, service, and love of family and country. Throughout this story, Steve shows how his father – and an entire generation – came of age during the Second World War and other great social, political and economic events. Arthur and Loretta were shaped by these changes – and they shaped these changes, too. When innocence and youth were their birthright, Steve takes us back to he harrowing days of the Great Depression and the Second World War, a conflict where Arthur fought selflessly and suffered tremendously. Arthur answered America’s call to defend freedom, and was wounded and underwent multiple surgeries to restore his arm to use. With Loretta at his side, Arthur overcame great odds and started a beautiful family of three sons and a daughter. They succeeded on every front and then began a new journey: creating roots for themselves and their young family in Southern California. A grateful nation gave Arthur and Loretta a second chapter – like millions of other Americans – to give the next generation, the Baby Boomers, an opportunity to succeed in peacetime. And Arthur and Loretta contributed to this national renaissance, supporting America’s quests in science, literature, art, industry, and finance. Leading productive and enriching lives, Arthur and Loretta raised their children to better themselves, watching as their sons and daughter became parents themselves and decorated leaders in education, construction, athletics and law. And the second half of the twentieth century is also the Murphy family’s story, as Steve takes us through the tumult of Vietnam, the struggle for civil rights, the Cold War, the attacks against America and the renewed purpose of this greatest of all nations. Arthur and Loretta have so many stories to tell, stories that in many cases they have never told before. And through this emotionally moving TV documentary, Steve brings their stories back to life so their memory can live forever.

U.S. Pet Food Recall
9:59 In 2006 and 2007, 60 million containers of 180 different brands of pet food and treats, produced by 12 different manufacturers, were recalled due to the intentional contamination of wheat gluten and rice protein imported from China by two Chinese Companies, Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co. and Binzhou Futian Biological Technology. This was the largest recall of pet food in U.S. history and was initiated by the dominant manufacturer of dry dog and cat food, the Canadian Company, Menu Foods. The contaminated wheat gluten and rice protein were adulterated with melamine which, combined with cyanuric acid, can lead to acute renal failure if eaten by small animals. The two Chinese supply companies intentionally put melamine into wheat gluten and rice protein to deceive manufacturers and the public of their true protein content, resulting in the deaths of untold numbers of animals and putting at risk more than 100 Million pets in Americas households.

Justice for Women Stalked in the
Workplace and Retaliation b 10:0 Washington, D.C. - Martin v. Howard University and Alice Gresham Bullock, U.S. Supreme Court No. 08-204./nIn 1997, Howard University Law Professor Dawn Martin was stalked on campus by a delusional serial stalker, Leonard Harrison. Despite instructions to Howard University from the Washington D.C. Police Department to implement and improve its campus security, Howard failed to take action, and instead, punished Professor Martin by refusing to renew her teaching contract. The story you are about to watch is the true story of Dawn Martin's 11-year Journey for Justice for her and all women who are stalked in the workplace. The National Organization for Women and The National Association of Women Lawyers join her cause./nWhen Prof. Martin was stalked by Leonard Harrison, he was searching for the physical embodiment of his "fantasy" wife -- a fictional female character in a book, written by the renowned civil rights Professor, Derrick Bell. Instead of following its own security procedures to ban Harrison from campus, Howard responded to Prof. Martin's requests for protection by refusing to renew her teaching contract. She sued Howard, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination and harassment, on the basis of sex/gender. Prof. Martin alleged that Howard permitted the stalker to harass her on the basis of her gender in her workplace. 78% of stalking victims are women. 54% of female murder victims reported their stalkers to the police before being killed by them. Prof. Martin further alleged that Howard retaliated against her by refusing to renew her teaching contract because she asked for protection from Harrison on campus./nYou can contact Ms. Martin at 202-408-7040, or http://www.dvmartinlaw.com/n"For updates on this case, see www.dvmartinlaw/MartinvHowardU and http://alexisamoore.blogspot.com/."

Not In Good Hands – American Family
Insurance The Galen Ri 34:22 Not In Good Hands – American Family Insurance The Galen Richey Story Today, the Insider Exclusive presents a really tragic story, one that American Family Insurance doesn’t want you to know. One hot Missouri summer day, Galen Richey’s sister, Brenda, called her insurance company, American Family, and her agent, Catherine Philipp-Leatz, telling her that a 1,400-pound tree limb – nearly half the tree – had fallen on Brenda’s house. She called three times that week, and on three separate occasions American Family refused to pay to have the 1,400-pound limb removed under the terms and conditions of her homeowner’s policy. The reason given by her agent was that “unless the tree fell during a storm, she had no coverage.” The tree limb remained on Brenda’s rooftop for at least 10 days. Brenda, a single mother, wasn’t able to afford to pay a tree removal service to remove this tree. Unable to get any help whatsoever from American Family and her agent, Brenda called her big brother, Galen, as a last resort. In the process of removing the huge tree, the limb broke and knocked Galen off the roof to the ground, 15-feet below, landing on his tailbone. He suffered a severe spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Today, the Insider Exclusive presents how Galen Richey’s lawyer, Brian McCallister, took on American Family Insurance and got justice for Galen Richey with a record verdict of $13 million, upheld by the Missouri Court of Appeals.

GOLF - Bob Betley Wins for All Americans
22:20 Golf Hall of Famer Bob Betley Wins for All Americans On page one of “The Rules of Golf: The Spirit of the Game" there is a discussion about a player's responsibility to abide by these rules. It’s the true spirit of sportsmanship, stating: "All players shall conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf." Golf has been touted for centuries as a "gentlemen's game," and, rightly so. For Champion Hall of Famer, Bob Betley, “The Spirit of the Golf Game” has exemplified his entire professional career. And, although Bob got a late start in playing the game, he made up for it quickly, turning pro just a couple of years after taking up the game seriously. With his wife and caddie, Jane, at his side, he won the Utah Open in 1979 and went on to win state open titles in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho, piling up a more than 75 tournament victories and over $1 million in career earnings along the way. Bob's biggest win as a pro came when he won the 1993 Bank of Boston Classic on the Senior PGA Tour. He also finished second in the Shootout at Jeremy Ranch, losing a memorable 8-hole, sudden-death playoff to former U.S. Open champ Orville Moody in the Utah Senior Tour event. He was a “gentleman” amongst gentlemen and on top of his game – but then tragedy struck. Bob was seriously and permanent injured when his car was rear-ended by an underinsured driver. As a result, he hasn't been able to golf or enjoy one of his other great talents, painting – primarily wildlife oils and portraits – since then. No more golf, no more travel, no more painting. In an instant, Bob’s livelihood and way of life ceased to exist. Despite the trauma and hardship, he and his wife were determined to soldier on. As hardworking, responsible, and honest as ever, they thought they could handle things themselves. They filed a claim with their own auto insurance company (a “first-party claim”) and assumed they’d be treated fairly – just like in the spirit of golf. But instead, their insurance company didn’t abide by that “gentleman’s” spirit of golf” – no, they stalled. They repeatedly lost paperwork, and wouldn’t even return phone calls. So finally, Bob and Jane – Team Betley – had had enough. They called Siegfried & Jensen. Sadly, this is a scenario that the attorneys at Siegfried & Jensen knew all too well. They saw to it that the insurance company did its job and compensated Bob and Jane as required, but then they took it a step further. Mitch Jensen, Founding Partner at Siegfried & Jensen, and Utah State Senator Steve Urquhart wrote and got passed new state legislation protecting the rights of individuals in “first-party” insurance claims. In 2010, SB62 was signed into law in Utah, mandating that insurance companies must provide a written response within a reasonable period of time. Additionally, all uninsured or underinsured claims must be paid immediately either for the amount of the covered individual’s demand or the carrier’s response. Today, the Insider Exclusive shows how the law firm of Siegfried & Jensen, the Utah Legislature and everyday Americans like Bob and Jane Betley can make the legal system work, protecting the rights of individuals and promoting safety for everyone. Mitch Jensen graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor’s degree in business in 1978. After completing law school at Pepperdine University in 1981, he became a member of the State Bars of California and Utah. Along with Ned Siegfried, Mitch co-founded what is now one of the top personal injury law firms in the Salt Lake City, Utah area, where he specializes in personal injury auto litigation, product liability, and pharmaceutical injuries. Associating with clients is the most rewarding aspect of Mitch’s work, as he is inspired by people who overcome significant trials and challenges. He considers the greatest people he knows to be his clients and the attorneys and staff who help them fight to restore their lives and families. In his spare time, Mitch enjoys sports, outdoor activities, spending time with his family, and traveling. Siegfried & Jensen provides top-notch legal services to residents of Salt Lake City and throughout Utah. The firm’s personal injury lawyers have the experience, knowledge, and drive to achieve the just compensation that victims of negligence deserve for the hardships they must face. The firm’s 16 skilled attorneys specialize in a variety of fields to offer knowledgeable legal advice and emotional support to injured victims.

The Quiet American Hero – The Vinny
Cinelli Story. 27:50 The Quiet American Hero – The Vinny Cinelli Story. America has many “quiet heroes,” some of whom protect The Department of Energy’s Y-12 plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. These brave men are the “Elite Special Response Team,” some of the best-trained and best-equipped forces protecting America’s nuclear weapons and material, with deadly force if necessary. These “Elite Special Response” teams are filled with professionals that have served in the military and law enforcement. It’s not uncommon to find former Marines, Army Rangers, Special Forces, and police veterans serving in various positions within these teams. They use words like honor, code, and loyalty. They use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. And they live up to their words: They walk their talk – and one of these quiet heroes is Vincent “Vinny” Cinelli, who, while riding his motorcycle one March day in broad daylight, was run down by a hit and run driver, someone who does not live a life of honor, code, and loyalty. Vinny Cinelli was severely injured, but miraculously recovered! And today, The Insider Exclusive is here to tell his story: The true story of the magnificent courage of Vinny Cinelli and how his lawyer, Bruce Fox of the Law Firm of Fox Farley in Clinton, Tennessee, got justice for Vinny. And because of Bruce’s extraordinary success in the courtroom, he has earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike as one of the best plaintiffs’ trial lawyers in Tennessee and the nation. It is said that “The true measure of any man is not how they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but how they stand in moments of challenge and controversy.” Both Bruce and Vinny have stood in those moments of challenge and controversy. And that’s why The Insider Exclusive salutes both of these quiet American heroes. Bruce D. Fox is a partner and co-founder of Fox and Farley. His personal injury practice focuses on automobile accidents, workers’ compensation, products liability, hospital and nursing home injuries, and trucking litigation. In addition, Bruce has significant multi-state lead counsel class action litigation experience against a variety of defendants. Bruce is co-founder of the Energy Workers’ Legal Resource Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a law firm dedicated to helping local energy workers sick with serious lung diseases, cancers and hearing loss as a result of their work for various Department of Energy contractors. For 25 years, Bruce has been re-elected annually by his peers to the Board of the Tennessee Association of Justice. In 2007, 2008, and 2009 he was named to the Mid-South Super Lawyers. In 2008 and 2009 Knoxville’s Cityview Magazine named Bruce one of the area’s best workers’ compensation, hospital litigation, auto accident and wrongful death lawyers. Bruce is a frequent speaker and lecturer to attorneys and judges at seminars and legal education forums throughout the Southeast and Midwest. He has taught on topics ranging from underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage to Tennessee workers’ compensation law to automobile and truck accident law. Bruce attended college and law school at the University of Tennessee. In his sophomore year of college, Bruce began six years of service to his country as a member of the United States Air Force National Guard. Upon graduation from the University of Tennessee College of Law, a professor invited Bruce to study in England, at Cambridge University. Bruce completed an advanced law degree at Cambridge, and holds a LLB in International Law. Fox and Farley combines over 60 years of law practice and with a staff of experienced legal assistants. As testament to their reputation for results, the majority of the firm’s cases are received by referral from prior clients, area doctors, and other attorneys throughout the Southeast. Fox and Farley doesn’t just bring their expertise to a client’s case; they also care tremendously about their clients. “We are a small family here in the office, but we have a much larger extended family that includes all of our clients,” says Bruce Fox. “Whatever situation they find themselves in, we’re there with them.” Fox and Farley works hard to provide relief for everyone who calls the office about personal injury, workers compensation, criminal and domestic relations.
