Pennsylvania State Trooper (humor)

A Pennsylvania State Trooper pulled a car over on I-81
about 2 miles north of the PA/MD state line. When the
Trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the
driver answered that he was a magician and a juggler
and he was on his way to Harrisburg to do a show that
night at the Zembo Shrine Circus and didn't want to be
late.

The Trooper told the driver he was fascinated by
juggling, and if the driver would do a little juggling
for him that he wouldn't give him a ticket.

The driver told the Trooper that he had sent all of his
equipment on ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.
The Trooper told him that he had some flares in the
trunk of his patrol car and asked if he could juggle
them. The juggler stated that he could, so the Trooper
got three flares, lit them, and handed them to the
juggler.

While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled
in behind the patrol car, a drunk got out and watched
the performance briefly, he then went over to the
patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.
The Trooper observed him doing this and went over to
the patrol car, opened the door and asked the drunk
what he thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, "You might as well take my @ss to
jail, cause there's no way in hell I can pass that
test."

Arrests in 'Adam' Torso Case
Police are 'tantalizingly close' to breakthrough in
Thames torso murder

August 24, 2003 -- Detectives investigating the voodoo
killing of "Adam", the boy whose decapitated and
limbless torso was found floating in the Thames two
years ago, believe that they are "tantalizingly close"
to charging someone in connection with his murder. The
victim, called 'Adam' by officers after he was found
floating in the river near Tower Bridge in September
2001, was between age four and six. Thirteen days
later, a bundle of seven candles wrapped in a sheet
with someone's name written on it is retrieved from the
Thames.

This lead goes nowhere for Commander Baker and
Detective Inspector O'Reilly (the case's two leading
officers) but it does result in them heading to Africa
to further investigate ritual murder. Police suspect
that he was a victim of ritual killing after being
brought over from Nigeria. Detectives think Adam was
aged between four and six, and was alive when he
arrived in London.

Officers with the Metropolitan Police serious crime
group say that recent developments have left them
hopeful they can bring a charge of conspiracy to murder
against one of the people they say helped bring the boy
into Britain. "We have almost got our fingers on this
person," a senior detective said last week. "There is a
lot of circumstantial evidence against this individual
and we are almost in a position to issue charges."

The development comes as The Telegraph today publishes
the first pictures of Joyce Osagiede, the Nigerian
woman police believe could hold the key to the murder
of the boy, who was aged between four and seven when he
was killed. In a potential blow to British detectives,
however, Ms Osagiede has now disappeared from her
family's one-story tin-roofed home in Benin City, where
she had been living since her deportation as a bogus
asylum seeker from Britain last November.

Officers traveled to the African country after forensic
tests showed he was from the area around Benin City.
All of the people arrested in July were from the same
part of Nigeria and police compared their DNA with
Adam's to see if any are related to him. Painstaking
forensic tests of Adam's bones, skin, and gut contents
revealed he grew up somewhere in West Africa and his
recent diet had included a 'ritual potion.' The
'potion' consisted of animal bone, quartz, and clay
with traces of gold, The dead boy, whose throat had
been slit, had lived most of his life in or near Benin
City in Nigeria and was brought to London shortly
before his horrific death. Detectives believe he was
killed in some sort of gruesome "black magic"
ceremony -- called Muti -- and his torso dumped in the
Thames.

Police officers from Operation Maxim, the multi-agency
unit tasked with targeting organized criminals who are
in the UK illegally, arrested 21 people in raids across
London in July. Nine addresses in east and southeast
London were searched by nearly 200 Metropolitan Police
officers, and ten men and eleven women were held by
police. Most of those arrested were for immigration
offences, identity fraud and passport forgery. A baby
belonging to one of the women was also taken into care
while the woman was being questioned.

Detective Inspector Will O'Reilly, leading the Adam
inquiry, said: "We've uncovered what we believe is a
criminal network concentrating on people trafficking.
Police also said there was evidence of other children
having been at the raided addresses. "We are convinced
that we are on to a group, or individuals, that were
involved in trafficking Adam into the country,"
O'Reilly said.

They are also trying to trace the witch doctor who
brewed a potion containing bone fragments which the boy
swallowed before he died. The fragments have been
submitted to New York's medical examiner who will use
techniques developed to identify September 11 victims.

"Interesting substances" found in the raids will also
be compared with the potion found in Adam's intestines.
Police think some of the items confiscated could be
linked to rituals. Metropolitan Police Commander Andy
Baker said: "Some of the items would raise a few
eyebrows -- they look like some element of ritualism is
involved." Among the items found was the skull of an
animal which had a nail driven through it.

Police are also looking at their connection with a
Nigerian man arrested in Dublin earlier this month in
connection with the investigation. Sam Onogigovie, 37,
was held under an extradition warrant issued by police
in Germany, where he has been convicted of crimes
linked to human trafficking. Detectives from Scotland
Yard also questioned him about the murder of Adam.

Before being sent back to Nigeria, Joyce Osagiede was
interviewed by detectives and admitted buying an
identical pair of orange shorts to the ones found on
Adam's torso. They are only available from Woolworth's
in Germany, where she lived for 10 years before making
her way to Britain, just a few weeks after the torso
was found.

She claimed asylum, telling immigration officers she
was fleeing her estranged husband, Sam Onojhighovie,
who she claimed had been responsible for 10 ritual
killings over a one-year period and was linked to a
sinister Nigerian cult accused in the past of a voodoo
slaying. Onojhighovie is currently in prison in Dublin
awaiting extradition to Germany where he was convicted
in his absence of people-trafficking and fraud and
sentenced to seven years in jail.

Osagiede made the claims to immigration officials
before her deportation from London to Nigeria last year
that she and her husband had been setting up branches
linked to a Nigerian cult known as 'One Love Family,'
and that her husband was responsible for a series of
black magic killings of the children of devotees. She
also said that she and other female disciples were
forced to undergo ritual circumcision. Her brother has
since said that she told him that she made these claims
only as a ruse to win asylum in Britain.

The Metropolitan Police had asked their Nigerian
counterparts to keep track of Osagiede as she remains a
key figure in their inquiries. The Telegraph
established last week, however, that the Nigerian
police no longer knew her whereabouts. Her brother,
Victor Imade Agho, revealed that Ms Osagiede
disappeared 18 days ago, after receiving a threatening
visit from a woman from her estranged husband's home
region, and believed to be a member of the same cult.

The cult's "living perfect master," a 55-year-old
Nigerian who adopted the trappings of an Indian holy
man and the title Satguru Maharajji after a visit to
London in 1980, claims that he was aware of the
allegations from media reports but dismissed them as
"negative propaganda" and an attempt to "misrepresent
the father of all creation". He was not sure whether Ms
Osagiede or Onijhighovie were among his followers. "In
any case," he added, "if someone reads The Sunday
Telegraph and then commits armed robbery, is The Sunday
Telegraph responsible for his crime?"

It is not the first time that the cult leader has faced
claims that are at odds with his public calls for world
peace. In 2000 he was acquitted of murdering a Ghanaian
who had alleged that his sister was being held by the
One Love Family against her will.

Then a Nigerian magazine published the account last
year of a former devotee who claimed that the cult
undertook a "blood initiation rite" in which five
participants died. "In most cases, when somebody dies,
they cut open his chest, remove the heart, the liver
and the kidney," the man was quoted as saying. "They
use it to prepare a concoction and people drink it
during the initiations."

The Maharajji, who dismissed such claims as smears,
told me that he and his followers were vegetarians so
allegations that they devoured human organs were
baseless. "It is natural that I should face some
opposition when I bring the truth," he said. He claimed
that Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, Adam, Abraham,
and John the Baptist were among earlier "divine
masters" but that he was the first "living perfect
master." He also claims that Nigeria is the "New Holy
Land of the Universe" and his ashram at Ibadan, 80
miles north of Lagos, its highest spiritual center.

Agho said his sister had been driven to the point of a
mental breakdown after reports about the case appeared
in Nigerian newspapers three weeks ago, featuring the
allegations she had made about her husband. "She kept
repeating that she never said those things," said Agho.
"She said that she had not seen Sam since he left her,
but she was sure he would never have killed anyone."

Agho proudly displayed the family photo albums
containing photographs of his sister, who is now 32,
proudly posing next to a white Mercedes and a white
Audi while standing outside a well-maintained apartment
block, an indication that the couple enjoyed a
comfortable life in Germany.

Agho said his sister disappeared after a visit from a
woman called Mercy who said that people had telephoned
her from London angered by her reported remarks. There
were no witnesses to the exchange, but her relatives
said Ms Osagiede spent the following night "weeping and
hollering" and she disappeared the next day, apparently
without taking a change of clothes with her. When her
brother tried to report her missing to the local
Nigerian police, they told him that she would probably
come home soon.

Det. Insp. Will O'Reilly, in charge of the inquiry into
Adam's death, thanked The Telegraph for informing him
of her disappearance. He said: "We will investigate her
whereabouts and we will contact the Nigerian
authorities."

Judge Turns Case Over Against Mother Accused of Helping
Cover Up Murder

September 8, 2003 JONESBOROUGH, TN -- Saying he could
not continue presiding over the case against Howard
Hawk Willis' mother because he could not be neutral,
Criminal Court Judge Lynn Brown turned it over to a
colleague last week. Emma Elizabeth Hawks is accused of
helping her son cover up the murder and dismemberment
of a newlywed teenage couple from Georgia.

Seventeen-year-old Adam Chrismer's hands and head were
found in a Johnson City lake and his body, along with
that of his 16-year-old wife Samantha Leming, were
found in a Johnson City storage shed rented by Hawk.

Brown said he could no longer preside over Hawk's trial
because of evidence he heard during the probation
hearing for her sister, who was sentenced to two months
in jail for trying to destroy a reputed confession
tape. The tape played at the hearing for Marie Holmes
included repeated orders from the sisters to Willis'
ex-wife that she erase a tape in which he confessed to
killing Chrismer and Leming.

"I've already heard the evidence on one of the charges
against Ms. Hawk -- and it's almost as if this court
has heard her case tried and she wasn't here," Brown
said Friday. "Under those circumstances, under the
rules of ethics, the court has no choice but to recuse
itself and give this to another judge."

Hawk, 72, is charged with two counts of abuse of a
corpse and one count each of being an accessory after
the fact of first-degree murder and soliciting the
tampering of evidence. Brown was referring to the
solicitation charge because her sister was charged with
the same crime.

"If I can't come in with an open mind and be just
completely fair and unopinionated and unbiased, I'm not
going to try a case," he said. He gave the case to
fellow Criminal Court Judge Bob Cupp and it was reset
for Oct. 14. Brown will continue to preside over the
case against Willis, who is charged with two counts
each of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse.

Clifton Corker, Hawk's attorney, said his client did
not have an opinion about whether there was an
advantage to Brown giving up the case.

"She wants Judge Brown to make the right decisions, and
I think if Judge Brown has a concern about his ability
to do so, then he did the right thing," he said.

Authorities contend Willis killed the teens last
October in a sex-for-drugs scheme. He's also a suspect
in the dismemberment slaying of his stepfather, Sam
Thomas last October. Thomas' headless, handless torso
was recovered near a vacant trailer on Lookout
Mountain, Ga., and his head was found near a Johnson
City park.

Jury Selection Tomorrow in Scarsdale Man's Murder Trial

August 25, 2003 -- Suspicion in his wife's
disappearance has hounded Robert Durst for more than
two decades. It intensified when his best friend was
shot to death in Los Angeles three years ago -- and
grew even more when he admitted killing a cantankerous
neighbor in Texas and was accused of chopping up his
body and setting it adrift in Galveston Bay.

Now, as the 60-year-old Scarsdale native and scion of a
Manhattan real estate empire goes on trial in that
Galveston killing, investigators in northern California
are taking a close look at Durst, suspecting he might
have played a role in the disappearance of two teenage
girls there in 1997 -- 18-year-old Kristen Modafferi in
San Francisco and 16-year-old Karen Mitchell in Eureka.

Jury selection in Durst's murder trial will begin
tomorrow and could take several weeks as his lawyers
try to find jurors who won't hold their client's wealth
against him and aren't influenced by publicity about
him. He has admitted killing Morris Black, a former
merchant seaman who seemed to live an even more nomadic
life than the cross-dressing, eccentric Durst. However,
Durst maintains that the killing was in self-defense.

Judge Susan Criss has ruled that jurors will not hear
about the two sensational cases that have dogged Durst,
the pressure of which, his supporters have suggested,
might have made him snap in the fatal altercation with
Black. The latest revelations that Durst is a person of
interest in the California cases were scoffed at by his
lead attorney in Texas.

"I'm not surprised that there is a flurry of
misinformation and sensationalist claims," said Dick
DeGuerin, who would not comment about the trial because
of a gag order imposed last year by Criss. "The closer
we get to trial, the more nuts are going to come out
with claims like this."

In each California teen case, investigators are stymied
by the lack of a body and proof that the vanished woman
was the victim of foul play - the same problem
Westchester authorities have in solving the 1982
disappearance of Kathleen Durst.

Durst and his 29-year-old wife had apartments in
Manhattan and a cottage on Hoyt Street in South Salem
early that year. She was just a few months shy of
graduation from Albert Einstein Medical College, and
there were tensions in the marriage, with friends
saying she talked about seeking a divorce.

She vanished Jan. 31, 1982, although Durst did not
report her missing for five days. He told police in
Manhattan that he had dropped her off at the Katonah
train station that night, and the investigation
remained a Manhattan missing-person case, primarily
because of reported sightings of her that are now discr
edited.

At the time, Durst was the heir apparent to one of
Manhattan's wealthiest real estate families. The Durst
Organization, founded by his grandfather and run by his
father, Seymour, owns Times Square skyscrapers and is
now worth an estimated $650 million. Although Durst
continued to work for the family business into the
1990s, control of the company was eventually turned
over to his younger brother, Douglas, and he became
estranged from most of his relatives.

He obtained a divorce in Westchester County Court in
1990, citing spousal abandonment - and 10 years later
married a longtime girlfriend, real estate broker
Debrah Charatan.

The missing-person case grew cold. Then four years ago,
Investigator Joseph Becerra of the state police got a
tip that Kathleen Durst had been killed in the South
Salem home. The house, which Durst had sold in 1990,
was searched to no avail. However, the tip led to the
reopening of the investigation with a focus no longer
in Manhattan but in Westchester.

In the fall of 2000, news of the investigation was
followed by a flurry of activity. Durst married
Charatan in December. Two weeks later, on Christmas
Eve, the body of Susan Berman, a writer and daughter of
a Las Vegas mobster, was discovered in her Los Angeles
home. She had been shot in the back of the head. Berman
and Durst had been friends since the late 1960s, when
they met in Los Angeles at the University of
California. Durst had given Berman away when she was
married and reportedly gave her $50,000 in the months
before she was killed.

Westchester County authorities had wanted to interview
Berman at the time about Kathleen Durst's
disappearance. No one has been charged in Berman's
homicide.

Durst had several homes around the country, in the San
Francisco area, in Dallas and in New York. As suspicion
mounted about him the following summer, he was in a
Galveston apartment he rented, posing as a deaf mute
named Dorothy Ciner. He had "borrowed" the name from a
Scarsdale High School classmate, who told authorities
she hadn't seen or spoken to him in years.

Black, 71, lived across the hall from Durst, and they
were known to argue frequently. In late September 2001,
a teenage boy fishing with his stepfather spotted a
headless torso floating in the bay with garbage bags
nearby filled with legs and arms. Evidence found in the
bags helped identify Black, and more items found in
their building's garbage and bloodstains in his
apartment made Durst a suspect. He was arrested eight
days later, and police found a knife, handgun, and
marijuana in his car.

Before Texas officials knew of Durst's history, bail
was set at $300,000, which he posted with Charatan's
help. He skipped his court appearance five days later,
and the fugitive heir remained on the lam for seven
weeks. In Bath, Pa. -- near Lehigh University, where he
went to college -- he was accused of stealing a chicken
sandwich from a grocery store, even though he had $500
in his pocket and $38,000 in his car, which he had
rented under the name Morris Black. He was returned to
Texas in early 2002 and has been in jail, awaiting
trial, ever since.

Durst crisscrossed the country while skipping bail, and
one of the places where he was reportedly seen was a
campsite in the woods near Eureka, Calif. In the late
1990s, one of several properties Durst owned in
northern California was in Trinidad, about 20 miles
from Eureka. Police in Eureka consider Durst one of
several "investigative leads" they are tracking in the
Nov. 25, 1997, disappearance of Karen Marie Mitchell.

The 16-year-old girl was on her way to work at a
day-care center that afternoon. A motorist believed to
be the last person to see her told police that she was
leaning into a light blue car that she might have
gotten into, Eureka Detective David Parris said.

A sketch of the suspect based on the witness' account
showed an older man with gray hair and large-frame
glasses, a look investigators recognized in the image
of Durst when he appeared last year in a Pennsylvania
court.

"You have to admit that there are similarities between
the sketch and Mr. Durst," Parris said. "He's a lead
we're following, and with all the information we've
learned about him, I'm not fully comfortable that I can
eliminate him from our investigation at this point."

Parris said a suspect in the case remains Wayne Adam
Ford, a trucker who admitted in 1998 to killing four
women in the region and who is about to go on trial.
But he acknowledges that Ford, who has denied any
involvement in the Mitchell case, looks nothing like
the sketch and is considerably younger than the man
seen driving the car.

Information linking Durst to the two California cases
was first reported in publicity material for the
paperback edition of "A Deadly Secret," writer Matt
Berkbeck's book about the Durst saga that will be
published next week.

Five months before Mitchell disappeared, Modafferi
vanished after leaving her waitress job at a San
Francisco coffee shop, headed for Land's End Beach on
San Francisco Bay in Oakland. One of the original
detectives in that case, John Bradley, is now an
investigator with the San Francisco District Attorney's
Office and has spent the past several months
investigating Durst's ties to northern California. He
said information he has obtained put Durst in the area
at least on the weekend before Modafferi disappeared
and on the day that Mitchell went missing, although
Parris said he was still looking into whether Durst was
in Eureka that day.

Bradley, too, sees similarities between Durst and the
sketch in the Mitchell case, but is even more intrigued
by the description of the car. Although Durst had a
green Ford Explorer in northern California at the time,
a drug user and prostitute who reported Durst
befriended her told authorities she only knew him to
drive a light blue car, Bradley said.

Durst had developed a pattern of disguising himself,
using assumed names and hanging out at homeless
shelters. Parris is still investigating whether he
could have met Mitchell at the Rescue Mission, a Eureka
shelter where she occasionally volunteered.

While those cases remain under investigation, Durst's
lawyers will try to convince a Texas jury that the
killing of Morris Black was not murder.

Beginning tomorrow, Criss will hear hardship excuses
from potential jurors. Lawyers will begin questioning
juror candidates individually on Thursday, a process
the defense agreed to last year to drop a request for a
change of venue because of pretrial publicity.

If convicted, Durst faces five to 99 years in prison.

All In the Line of (Jury) Duty

September 13, 2003 -- The trial is over but traumatized
Snowtown jurors may have begun life sentences of their
own.

When they were called up for jury service, they would
have had no idea what to expect. For the next 11
months, the Snowtown jury was subjected to perhaps the
most gruesome evidence ever presented to an Australian
court. They heard of torture, dismemberment, and ritual
killings.

What effect would such an ordeal have on the lives -
and the minds - of the metaphorical "12 good men and
true" at the heart of the legal system? (In this case,
they included six women.)

According to one mental health expert, the unsuspecting
jurors could suffer trauma as if they themselves had
been tortured. Dr Nicholas Proctor, an associate
professor of mental health at the University of South
Australia, says the condition has a name: vicarious
trauma.

"They have been bystanders to horrific acts," he said.
After the war in Bosnia, Proctor wrote a book on the
psychological effects on civilians who had seen
atrocities. Those affected, he says, were ordinary
people who had involuntarily witnessed death and
mutilation.

The Snowtown jurors were plucked at random from the
electoral roll last October. As part of the longest
trial in South Australian criminal history, their
normal lives were forgotten. The law prevented them
from speaking about it, even to family, forcing them to
bottle up what they experienced.

Jurors saw photographs of the autopsies of eight murder
victims in barrels in the disused Snowtown bank vault.
They heard what was found in the barrels - large pieces
of skin, matted knots of hair, a kneecap, bones,
dismembered torsos, bodies slashed, tortured and cut.

They heard evidence of the screams of the victims as
they were tortured, as their toes were crushed with
pliers, or as a sparkler inserted in a penis was lit
and left to burn. One victim's arms, legs, breasts, and
genitalia were cut off by ringleader John Bunting after
she died. She was also decapitated.

Four jurors were excused over 11 months. When it all
finally concluded this week, 220 witnesses and $15
million later, Justice Brian Martin exempted the jury
from further service for life. He warned them not to
have second thoughts. Books were being written about
Snowtown, he said, and they may read or hear about it
later but they should not be troubled over their guilty
finding.

"Do not look back with any second thoughts of any
kind," he said. The jury's "valuable contribution"
would be recompense for disruption to their lives.

However, Proctor believes they will suffer much more
than mere disruption. "They will suffer symptoms
similar to someone who had first-hand trauma, because
of the torture, particularly, that was described. The
reaction would be that they cannot bear to hear any
more. They would feel terror, helplessness, shame, and
a sense of humiliation. At 11 months, this trauma was
prolonged."

Proctor predicts that the Snowtown evidence might
disrupt jurors' sleep and shatter their faith in
humanity. Some might detach themselves from everyday
life as a reaction to seeing the worst aspects of the
human condition.

Some of the jury were counseled during the trial. After
leaving the court, they were addressed by a
psychiatrist. Flashbacks, nightmares, irritability, and
sleeplessness could all be early warning signs of
post-traumatic stress. Counseling will be provided in
the future, as it will for Supreme Court officials and
staff who saw and heard evidence. Proctor says this
counseling should be similar to the counseling of
torture survivors.

"It should focus on the jurors' rage and emotions and
their understanding of anger, and also those things
which they feel perpetuate the traumatic experience.
For those who feel hopeless, it should focus on what
engulfs that hopelessness, or anguish, or despair."
