White Collar Crimes (From Behind the Bars) A US Story

This US case may not be alien to Pakistani Crime Scene !
CRIME FROM BEHIND BARS The Case of the Con Turned Con Artist
He was already in jail for fraud and other crimes, yet he managed to lead a massive, two-year identity theft and bribery scheme that earned him a separate 309-year prison sentence—more than twice that of crooked financier Bernie Madoff, and reportedly the fourth-longest in the history of U.S. white-collar crime. His name is Robert Thompson, and his story is an eye-opening one for consumers and businesses who take the risk of sharing personal information over the telephone. It began in a Louisiana state prison, where Thompson began stealing a raft of personal information—dates of birth, social security numbers, bank account numbers, credit cards numbers, etc.—from more than 61 individuals, churches, financial institutions, and businesses. That information enabled him to steal from the victims’ bank accounts and use their credit to buy big-ticket items—like appliances, cell phones, and big-screen TVs. He even attempted to purchase a luxury SUV. Most of these items ended up with his partners in crime—accomplices inside and outside prison. The ruses: Thompson used various methods to gather personal information, but one of his tried-and-true ploys involved calling a bank and pretending to be an elderly stroke victim who had been hospitalized. “I don’t have my checkbook with me and need access to my bank account,” he would claim. Most banks didn’t fall for it, but some did. Thompson also called individual victims directly—sometimes saying he was a state trooper who needed to verify personal details after an identity theft arrest. The operation: Thompson initially made his calls on prison phones. Knowing he could only make collect calls—in accordance with prison rules—he had his outside accomplices obtain three-way calling services on their personal phones, accept collect calls from Thompson, and dial whatever number he wanted. Since many of the calls were long-distance, he also contacted phone companies—using a phony identity—and had those calls charged to the accounts of various churches. Eventually, prison officials got wind from us of what Thompson was doing, and he was transferred to a special lockdown area in order to keep him away from the phones. But he paid a $10,000 bribe to a corrections officer assigned to his cell block to use the officer’s personal cell phone. So his shenanigans continued. Thompson also had his accomplices—including a former guard he met at another prison—withdraw money from the phony bank accounts he had set up, pick up merchandise he had ordered, and/or let their home addresses be the delivery points. The FBI entered the picture in mid-2006 after being contacted by a car dealership that had $50,000 stolen from its bank account. After an extensive investigation, we identified Thompson as the culprit. At least eight of his co-conspirators also have been charged as part of the overall investigation, which was worked closely with state and local law enforcement and corrections officials. But old habits die hard—after pleading guilty and expressing remorse for his crimes during a 2009 court appearance, Thompson was back working the phones the very next week. The judge had little sympathy during Thompson’s sentencing. The case is a lesson for us all. “Be crime smart” when it comes to sharing personal information—yours or someone else’s. Don’t give it out over the telephone unless you have verified the identity of the caller.

Japan: DNA testing releases a prisoner after 17 years in jail

Man wrongfully convicted of 1990 murder acquitted; more than 1,500 line up for 48 seats

UTSUNOMIYA —

The Utsunomiya District Court on Friday acquitted a 63-year-old man who was sentenced to life in prison over a 1990 murder in Tochigi Prefecture and spent 17 years behind bars, while offering an apology to the defendant for its own past ruling.

The verdict formally cleared Toshikazu Sugaya, a former kindergarten bus driver convicted of killing Mami Matsuda, 4, in Ashikaga, Tochigi, based on flawed DNA testing and a false confession.

‘‘I feel sorry as a judge that we did not listen to Mr Sugaya’s truthful voice, and as a result, took away his freedom for 17 and a half years,’’ Presiding Judge Masanobu Sato said. The three judges stood up and bowed toward the defendant.

More than 1,500 people made a line outside the court for 48 tickets to attend the retrial. A woman in her 50s from Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, was among the 1,513 people who lined up. ‘‘I believe Mr Sugaya must have spent a painful 17 years, despite the principle of the benefit of the doubt.’‘

‘‘I would like to tell him, ‘You must be tired after such a long time’,’’ she said.

Sugaya told reporters after the court adjourned that the verdict ‘‘filled me with emotion. I appreciate it. I’m glad.’’ He also said, ‘‘I feel completely different today from yesterday…I feel refreshed by the verdict of complete innocence.’‘

It is the sixth time in the postwar era that a defendant with a finalized death penalty or life sentence has been acquitted in a retrial, according to the Supreme Court.

The prosecution abandoned the right to appeal, thus finalizing the ruling.

The retrial began last October after a fresh DNA analysis effectively proved Sugaya’s innocence. With the prosecution already having asked that he be acquitted, the focus was on how the court would sum up the case, in particular whether it would refer to the background behind the false allegations and if it would apologize for its past ruling.

Sato ruled that Sugaya was unable to resist the harsh interrogation and had made the false confession after he was confronted by the DNA testing result. ‘‘The confession is incredible and false,’’ the presiding judge said. He also ruled that as the DNA testing during the investigation was not conducted in a scientifically reliable manner, its result was not admissible as evidence.

During the retrial, audiotapes of a prosecutor questioning Sugaya were played in court, with his defense lawyers aiming to show how the defendant was forced to make a false confession and how he fell victim to a miscarriage of justice during the investigation and trials.

On the questioning, Sato said it was illegal as the prosecutor neglected to tell Sugaya that he could consult with defense lawyers and that he had the right to remain silent.

The prosecutors and police separately apologized to Sugaya after he was released from prison in June.

Sugaya, who at first admitted to the crime before retracting his confession, pleaded not guilty at his initial trial. The Utsunomiya District Court in 1993 sentenced him to life in prison, a decision upheld by the Tokyo High Court in 1996.

The Supreme Court also endorsed the guilty verdict in 2000, recognizing a DNA test as admissible for the first time.

After the district court turned down Sugaya’s plea for a retrial in 2008, the case took a new turn in 2009 when a fresh DNA analysis conducted at the request of his defense team indicated he was not the killer and opened the way for the retrial in June.

An interesting Govt of Sindh Car crash in Karachi

The Car had no number plates ! But according to the traffic police, some were found from "somewhere" later ...

The Woman Driver, who crashed the Cultus, is seated inside the Khyber car, talking to her supporters and family ...

This Suzuki Khyber came to a rescue for the Car crashers, and took them in it.

A by-passer closely watches the crash ! And thanks god that they were not at this spot at the time of accident ... Who will pay for the damages to the car, the poor motorcyclist who went down a drain, and the trees uprooted by the Crash ..

Inspector Ibrahim, Section Officer (SO) Traffic at Drigh Road / PAF section is guiding the traffic away from the crashed car. He is a very active Police Officer, and responds to help request at lightning speeds.

But unfortunately, this is how the governance works in Karachi ... Top Guns scare the Smaller fish.

A call to 15, Police Help brought in the Sharae Faisal Police mobile, but they too were mum and powerless to take action ... they also let the things go ... "Sab Chalta Hai Yaar

Motorcyclist Jumps in to a Sewerage Hole

A Motorcyclist Crashes in to a deep sewerage Hole


Recently on February 23, 2010, at 9 PM, at Sharae Faisal, Karachi, people heard some screams of a person, calling for help.

But he was nowhere to be seen. It was dark, and the sounds seemed ghostly!

We also stopped to inquire. Soon it transpired that a middle aged motorcyclist had jumped in to an open manhole left open by the Cantonment Board Faisal contractors on the side walk next to PAF residential quarters.

The motorcyclist was retrieved with some difficulty, and his motorcycle was also pulled out later, with the help of Traffic Police, Drigh Road Section.

There was another car accident at that time, and the motorcyclist was trying to by-pass the traffic jam. He went in, in to this deep hole with his bike, and suffered some injuries to his face and back bone.

Blood from a leech used to identify robbery suspect in Australia

Police in Australia have used blood taken from an engorged leech found at the site of a robbery and matched it to a suspect seven years after the crime was committed.


In what is believed to be a world first, the leech was found shortly after officers arrived a the rural property in Tasmania, whose elderly resident had been robbed by two men.
The leech was the only piece of evidence found during a full forensic examination of the house, Detective Inspector Mick Johnston said, and officers decided to take a DNA profile from the blood inside it.

"As there was no evidence of any leech bites from the victims or the police present we thought it was a good chance to have come from one of the offenders," he told the Hobart Mercury.
"We took it from the scene because it didn't belong there."
Seven years later, the blood was found to match that of Peter Alec Cannon, who had been arrested and charged with drug offences.
Cannon, 54, pleaded guilty in court to the 2001 aggravated armed robbery.
Crown prosecutor John Ransom said: "the leech was found next to the safe and it had this man's blood in it."
He said that Cannon and another man, who has not been caught, went to the bushland home of Fay Olson, 71, wearing black hoods and carrying sticks.
The men ransacked the house stole $550. The men tied her up and put a belt around her ankles.
Mr Ransom said that senior constable Nathan Slater had located the leech next to the bed and handed it to Detective Inspector Johnston when doing the forensic examination of the scene.
Detective Inspector Johnston said he had never heard of a leech being involved in a crime scene before.
"It is the oddest way of convicting anyone I have ever been involved in".
"I have not been able to find any similar cases anywhere in the world - nothing like this at all."

Criminals in Police Force of Karachi - A matter of HR Management

This report is an eye opener. Similar cases of Corrupt persons getting in to the forces are common in Paksitan.

Such problems can easily be solved by implementing a modern Human Resources Management System. Character screening, and psychology tests are keys, along with reference checks to prevent criminals from getting in to the law enforcement institutions.

Also, the laws for prevention and punishment of law enforcement criminals ought to be very tough and exemplary. Something corrupt leaders do not dare to think about and implement.

License to Kill How does Israeli Military Operate!

License to Kill

When I advised the Israel Defense Forces, here's how we decided if targeted kills were legal -- or not.

BY AMOS N. GUIORA | JULY 13, 2009

Washington is abuzz over a recent report in the Wall Street Journal saying that former U.S. President George W. Bush had authorized the "capture or kill al Qaeda operatives," and that "the CIA also examined the subject of targeted assassinations of al Qaeda leaders," though it's not clear if the two initiatives are related.

The revelations are sure to set off a renewed debate in the United States over the legality, utility, and morality of killing terrorists. I know a few things about this topic, because between 1994 and 1997, I advised Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) commanders regarding targeted killings as the IDF legal advisor to the commander of the Gaza Strip. To be clear: the decision to strike was the commander's. As the legal advisor, I provided just that: legal advice.

So, here's my legal advice for the United States as the Washington debate heats up: Counterterrorism, in civil democratic regimes, must be rooted in the rule of law, morality in armed conflict, and an analysis of policy effectiveness. There can be no "ifs, ands, or buts."

Targeted killings are indeed legal, under certain conditions. The decision to use targeted killing of terrorists is based on an expansive articulation of the concept of pre-emptive self defense, intelligence information, and an analysis regarding policy effectiveness. According to Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, a nation state can respond to an armed attack. Targeted killing, however, is somewhat different because the state acts before the attack occurs. In addition to self-defense principles, the four critical principles of international law -- alternatives, military necessity, proportionality, and collateral damage -- are critical to the decision-maker's analysis.

The basis for the attack is intelligence information that meets a four part test: Is it reliable, credible, valid, and viable? Given the stakes, corroborated information is significantly preferable to information that comes from a single source.

Israel instituted its targeted killing policy in large part in response to Palestinian suicide-bombing attacks. But it's not just the bombers themselves that are a threat. Four actors -- the bomber, the planner, the driver/logistics person, and the financier -- form the basis of the suicide bombing infrastructure. Determining which of the four is a legitimate target, and when, is the critical question decision-makers face. As not all four are legitimate targets at all times, the commander is limited against whom he can act; that reality reflects the limits of self-defense.

This rearticulation of expansive self-defense is insufficient on its own, however, because the decision to authorize the "hit" is not made in a vacuum. Implementing the four international law principles referenced above requires the commander to ascertain that the "hit" is essential to national security and therefore proportional to the risk the individual presents. Furthermore, the commander must determine that any alternatives, such as capturing and detaining the individual, are not operationally possible. The commander must also seek to minimize the collateral damage -- harm to innocent civilians -- that is all but inevitable in such attacks.

When asked by a particular commander to authorize a targeted killing, I would ask the following factual questions:

»Who is the source?

»How reliable is the source?

»How timely is the information?

»What is the relationship between the source and the potential target?

»How precise is the information? (I was once told, for example, "he is wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans," but it was nighttime and the commander had night-vision equipment)

»When was the last time the unit conducted a nighttime ambush?

»How confident was the commander in his unit's capabilities?

»Did the commander receive the intelligence directly from the intelligence community and had he discussed the issue with a case officer?

Although I have advocated the effectiveness of targeted killings from an operational counterterrorism perspective and supported its legality as an expansive articulation of self-defense, in the case of the blue jeans I did not authorize the requested attack. The information about the individual unequivocally indicated that the danger posed to Israeli national security was palpable. I was also convinced that detaining him was operationally unfeasible. However -- and this is the core of the issue -- I was not convinced that the individual in the commander's scope was the right man.

Aggressive operational counterterrorism is lawful, but that is not enough. It must also be effective and moral. Understanding and implementing the limits of power is an essential aspect of aggressive self-defense; uncertainty is a fact of life in the counterterrorism business. Precisely for that reason, the four pillars of counterterrorism must include the applicable law, but also morality, policy effectiveness, and careful and cautious operational decisions.

Targeted killings decisions are among the most complicated and complex aspects of operational counterterrorism. The decision-maker literally faces an overwhelming amount of information. Before authorizing and firing, the commander must ascertain who the target is; otherwise, the policy is illegal, ineffective, and immoral. But if you're sure you've got the right guy, and you have no other viable options, fire away. The nation's safety may depend on it.

USA Juvenile System Not Equipped to Handle Females

Juvenile System Not Equipped to Handle Females


Girls in the juvenile justice system exhibit more risks than do boys for problem behaviors that may lead them to serious trouble, according to new research. Girls had more problems than boys in areas such as family and peer relations, physical health, mental health, traumatic events, and accountability issues.
The only area in which boys showed more risk than girls was in prior criminal offenses.

The results suggest that the juvenile justice system needs to devote more attention and resources to the problems of troubled girls, said Stephen Gavazzi, co-author of the study and professor of human development and family science in the College of Human Ecology at Ohio State University.

"The system has not been built to handle girls' issues," Gavazzi said. "Boys are usually detained as a response to public safety issues, whereas girls are more often detained because of problems in the home. But, by and large, detention facilities were built solely with public safety in mind and not for work with families."

Global Risk Assessment

Gavazzi conducted the study with Courtney Yarcheck, director of the Global Risk Assessment Device Project at Ohio State, and Meda Chesney-Lind of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The study will be published in the journal Criminal Justice and Behavior.

The study involved 305 youth who were housed in the detention facility of a large Ohio juvenile court. The youth were assessed using a measure developed by Gavazzi and his colleagues called the Global Risk Assessment Device (GRAD). The measure is an internet-based assessment tool that asks youth a variety of questions to determine the risks they face for further problems in life.


For example, GRAD asks how often they get into fights with adults in their homes, if they have friends who have been in trouble with the law, and how much trouble they have in controlling their anger.

Risk for Psychopathy

The researchers were not surprised that boys showed higher risk levels than girls in the area of prior offenses, Gavazzi said, and that girls had higher risks for family and parenting issues, mental health, traumatic events and health issues.

But it was surprising that girls exhibited more risk for psychopathy, which includes trying to manipulate others; accountability, or taking responsibility for actions; and peer relations, which involves having friends who are in trouble with the law.

"Girls are having trouble in areas often more associated with boys, such as having friends who are involved in delinquency," Gavazzi said.

Family-Related Offenses

"Our results may help explain the rather widespread notion among practitioners who work with troubled youth that girls are harder to work with than boys. The reason is that girls often have more numerous and more serious problems to address."

The problems that bring girls to the court system are often different than those of boys, at least at first, Gavazzi said. Girls in this study were more likely to be detained for family-related offenses, such as showing "out-of-control" behavior at home, or getting into fights with family members.

Boys, on the other hand, were more likely to be detained for more traditional criminal offenses, such as theft or assaults on strangers, according to the results.

Early Assessment Needed

"Girls are being affected by their families in a much more pronounced way than boys," he said. "In many cases, girls are being detained precisely because of the dysfunction within their families."

These results highlight several problems with the current juvenile justice system, according to Gavazzi.

For one, it shows how important it is to assess juvenile delinquents early to see the risks they face. Before GRAD, few assessment devices were available to help Ohio professionals determine what kind of treatment would be most appropriate for those teens ending up in juvenile court, and none were web-based.

Ignoring the Signals

"Assessment should drive treatment, and if we don't have a way to assess the many problems these youth often face, there's no way we're going to be able to help them access appropriate treatment," Gavazzi said.

The results also point to the fact that "we are doing a massive disservice to girls by giving them 'passes' early on in their criminal careers." Courts often ignore early offenses by girls because they don't take as seriously those crimes committed by females. The result is that when they do commit crimes that are too serious to ignore, they are in worse shape than boys.

"By not dealing with girls early on, we are not giving them opportunities to get services that are available to boys in the juvenile justice system," Gavazzi said.

Dealing With the Whole Family

But the juvenile justice system also needs to do more to meet the special needs of female offenders, he explained.

Juvenile detention centers were designed to handle people who have committed crimes – and these are usually boys. But girls are often in trouble for issues related to family issues, and need programs that deal with the whole family.

"Juvenile institutions aren't geared to do work with families, which is what girls often need the most," he said. "We can't provide the same treatment to boys and girls and expect that they are all going to be helped."
