THIS IS WHAT GODWIN REALLY DOESN'T WANT LEAKED

Police Director Larry Godwin's rant about leaks at 201 Poplar started with this document that was placed where I could get it from officers who stated that he was using his anger about the death of his friend Ed Vidulich to attempt to railroad Dexter Cox.

Those same sources stated that Godwin did not want the public to know about the alternative lifestyle that his friend lived and the fact that Cox had a prior relationship with the very large cop. Sources also stated that the reason that I was given the info was because Cox had stated in his confession that when he went to pick up money from the police officer in exchange for pictures showing him and his wife having perverted sex, Vidulich tried to kill him with a knife,. The sources knew that there was no plan for this information to ever come forth and that Godwin had given orders to Homicide officers to protect the officer known as "Big Ed".

After I posted the confession of Dexter Cox Godwin went rabid moving homicide officers around, having Internal Affairs interviewing those officers,and even having his computer techs checking computers. The investigation that the director held came up with nothing. Godwin has had a fear since the death of Vidulich that the pictures of Vidulich having perverted sex will surface and will feature other police officers, including maybe himself. This is the reason that the police officer's computer was removed as soon as the Crime scene arrived at the frayser home.

Godwin is crazed to know who supplied me with the confession of Cox and who also daily supplies me with his going ons on the 12 floor, but he will never find out because he has so many people that smile in his face that wants him gone. His leaks are right under his nose but because he thinks that they are loyal to him he keeps looking in all the wrong places.

Many police officers have no respect for Godwin and feel as though he has a "God Complex" because he has the mayor by the balls since he covered up for Willie Herenton daughter in law's killing of Michael Simon on may 29,2008 and have promised to keep me abreast of what is going on on the 12th floor.

Sources in this matter and there are many have prepared for Godwin and any investigation by the TBI or Bill Gibbons. They have documented proof of how Godwin attempted to railroad Dexter Cox and what detectives were given orders to get rid of certain evidence in the case. The sources also state that they have information that would bring Godwin and homicide detectives up on federal charges for things that were done in this case.

While I have an idea of who MPDENFORCER happens to be there has never been any association between the two blogs. I have never received anything from the blogger in any way. Godwin in his crazed state thinks that the blogger has supplied me with information because he feels that the MPDENFORCER is owned by a police officer. But the director is totally wrong.

I am also aware that my primary cell phone may be bugged which is why all my sensitive conversations are done on one of my other cell phones that can not be traced to me. I am also aware that my computer may also be bugged which is why I use other methods of receiving info than email. The director needs to know that he will only hear what I want him to hear on my cell, my source within the department have taken great pain to make sure that we never see each other and that they are only voices.

The First Amendment gives me the right to freedom of speech, The Tennessee Shield Law protects me and my sources and I'm prepared to take my right to expose the corruption of this police director and his boss as far as they want to go.

LARRY HERE'S ANOTHER LEAK FOR YOU FROM THE 12TH FLOOR, I'M TOLD THAT YOUR DAUGHTER EITHER WORKS OR HAS WORKED FOR BRADLEY GREER THE MAN WHOSE TICKET YOU FIXED.

SOMETHING FOR THE TBI TO REALLY INVESTIGATE

Since Bill Gibbons wants to give the TBI something to investigate,how about this. Why not investigate how Mayor Willie Herenton may used his office to cover up the fact that his daughter in law Andrea Herenton was drunk on the night of May 29,2003 when she plowed her 1999 Porsche Carrera into the rear of Michael Simon's 1995 Ford Taurus and killed him.

The TBI may want to investigate why Herenton never took a alcohol test while test were given to the dead body of Michael Simon. They may want to investigate what instructions were given to police by Willie Herenton at the scene when he arrived. The TBI may want to interview former police officer Bobby Todd who is/was a close friend of the mayor who at the time was in charge of traffic.

Seeing that the 1995 Taurus was evidence the TBI may want to investigate why the very next day it was shredded,and who gave the order. Larry Godwin was in charge of Special Operations at the time and the shredding of the car would have had to go through him to get done. The TBI may also want to interview Todd on whether after Janice Pilot was announced to become the new director replacing James Bolden did he walk Godwin into the mayor's office and remind him of the favor that was done,and that Godwin wanted the job. In fact Bill why don't you investigate this matter too.

BILL GIBBONS WANTS TBI TO INVESTIGATE ME ABOUT GODWIN'S LEAKS, I SAY BRING IT ON

District Attorney Bill Gibbons has requested that the TBI investigate the leaks of sensitive homicide information out of Larry Godwin's various police divisions. Godwin is concerned how I received the true confession of Dexter Cox after his friend Big Ed was killed. While I had the information before Godwin's dramatic Sunday press conference, I held it until after the press conference because I knew he would lie about what happened and what was found at the scene.

Godwin has never been able to get over the fact that i revealed that his friend knew Cox and perhaps was involved in an alternative sexual lifestyle. He was upset that I revealed that Cox has stated that he was attacked by Big Ed with a knife,and that a knife was found exactly where Cox stated it was located. While Cox may or may not be guilty he has the right not to railroaded to prison solely based on Godwin's desire for revenge.

The lawsuit that Godwin filed against fellow blogger MPDENFORCER is just a smoke screen for him to come after me,which I totally invite. The MPDENFORCER has no homicide documents on it so why was the lawsuit filed against it?

While Godwin is concerned about me providing information to the community this clown must realize that he has allowed the same thing to happen by allowing The First 48 Hours to film homicides prior to cases going to court. Godwin is such an idiot that he's concerned about my posting Cox's confession while he allowed a film crew to air the confession of a minor child worldwide that had no legal counsel or family representatives present when the confession was made.

If Gibbons and Godwin decides to push this issue, The ACLU which represents me in this matter will have a nationally field day with them and the TBI if they also decide to get involved. The airing of confessions by The First 48 Hours that may not even be allowed to be used in court destroys Super Silly Larry's chances of doing anything but be the whining boy toy of Willie Herenton.

On friday of last week the ACLU filed a motion on behalf to open up the sealed lawsuit filed against THE MPDENFORCER because sourses within the police department have stated that the sealed information has to do with me and my sources. And after checking out the site and finding no sensitive information there,I feel that the received information is true based on the premise that the only blog where you find such information is here.

Here's what that motion states:

IN THE CHANCERY COURT FOR THE THIRTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT AT MEMPHIS, SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE
CITY OF MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE
and LARRY A. GODWIN
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. CH-08-0965 Part III

MOTION TO INVERVENE AND UNSEAL RECORD
Comes now Thaddeus Matthews, by and through counsel, pursuant to Tenn. R. Civ. P. 24 and seeks to intervene in this proceeding and to unseal the record in the above-captioned matter, respectfully stating:

I. RIGHT TO INTERVENE
Tenn. R. Civ. P. 24.01 provides, inter alia, that “anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action . . . when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and . . . the disposition of the action may as a practical matter impair or impede the applicant’s ability to protect that interest.” Id.

Thaddeus Mathews is an investigative journalist and is a well-know member of the media who has a daily radio call-in talk show on KWAM, “EXPRESS YOURSELF HOSTED BY THADDEUS MATTHEWS”, which is broadcast from Memphis Tennessee with a world-wide distribution through the internet. Mr. Matthews also has a “blog”,

“thadmatthews.blogspot.com”, in which he has published articles deemed critical of Director Larry Godwin and has published “sensitive” internal documents of the Memphis Police Department both on his radio show and posted them on his “blog”. The District Attorney General of Tennessee and the Memphis Police Department initiated an investigation in February 2008 to learn the identity of Mr. Matthews’ source(s). As a result of that investigation, counsel for Mr. Matthews sent a letter to the District Attorney General requesting to be informed “[i]n the event your office seeks to obtain any process, by subpoena or otherwise, [to discover his source(s)].” (Emphasis added. The Letter is attached as Exhibit 1.) Although the District Attorney General has not sought “process”, the Memphis Police Department has done so and neither Mr. Matthews nor his counsel were informed that the underlying Petition was filed nor that a commission to issue subpoena was issued.

On information and belief, Thaddeus Matthews asserts that the Tenn. R. Civ. P. 27 Petition filed in this matter to perpetuate testimony may in fact have the effect, whether or not the overt intent and objective was to uncover the confidential sources he relies upon for his radio talk-show and “blog”.

Thus, Thaddeus Matthews has an interest in protecting his confidential source(s) under the Tennessee Shield Law, and moves to intervene to protect that right.

II. RIGHT TO UNSEAL THE RECORD

Thaddeus Matthews will be unable to protect his interests without intervention and while the record in this matter is sealed. Additionally, Mr. Matthews challenges the basis for having a sealed record.

A. The common law historically recognizes the importance of open judicial proceedings and confers a public right of access to civil litigation.

The common law has presumed that civil litigation and proceedings will be open and public since before the founding of the United States of America, See Gannett Co. v. United States, 443 U.S. 368, 386 n.15, 386-87 (1979) (citing 17th century English commentators Hawles, Coke, and Blackstone, New Jersey Constitution of 1677, and 1682 and 1776 Pennsylvania Constitutions); see also Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. v. Federal Trade Comm’n, 710 F.2d 1165, 1177-79 (6th Cir. 1983), and the public’s common-law right of access to judicial proceedings and records now “is beyond dispute,” Publicker Indus., Inc. v. Cohen, 733 F.2d 1059, 1066 (3d Cir. 1984); see also Meyer Goldberg, Inc. v. Fisher Foods, Inc., 823 F.2d 159, 163 (6th Cir. 1987).

This right of access extends to both trial proceedings and judicial records. Brown & Williamson, 710 F.2d at 1177; see also Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. 435 F.3d 110, 119 (2d Cir. 2006); Publicker Indus., 733 F.3d at 1066. This presumption of access rests on the understanding, based on hundreds of years of experience, that openness and transparency benefit litigants and the public. Openness of trial proceedings directly promotes many valuable and salutary goals: the appearance of fairness; public confidence in the judicial system; the discouragement of misconduct, perjury or secret bias; the enhancement of the performance of all parties; the protection of the judge from imputations of dishonesty; the education of the public; the provision of a safe outlet for public hostility and concern; the avoidance of covert actions and secret proceedings; and equal treatment of rich and poor.

“What transpires in the court room is public property.” United States v. Beckham, 789 F.2d 401, 406-07 (6th Cir. 1986) (quoting Richmond Newspapers, Inc. v. Virginia, 448 U.S. 555, 573 n. 9 (1980)). In Brown & Williamson, the Sixth Circuit commented on these benefits, noting that “[t]he resolution of private disputes frequently involves issues and remedies affecting third parties or the general public” and that “[c]ivil cases frequently involve issues crucial to the public - for example, discrimination, voting rights, antitrust issues, government regulation, bankruptcy, etc.” 710 F.2d at 1179. The court also noted that judicial proceedings, including civil cases, provide a “community catharsis, which can only occur if the public can watch and participate.” Id. In the civil courtroom (as well as the criminal courtroom), “secrecy insulates the participants, masking impropriety, obscuring incompetence, and concealing corruption.” Id. Finally, according to the court, “[o]penness in the courtroom discourages perjury and may result in witnesses coming forward with new information regardless of the type of the proceeding.” Id. The Petition filed in this matter, while couched as civil litigation, involves the very essence of public concern, the City of Memphis and the Memphis Police Department. It is not a dispute of private citizens over private interests. It is a matter of public interest, the administration of local government and directly involves crucial issues and rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and statutory laws of Tennessee.

B. The “strong common-law tradition” of open judicial proceedings may be overcome only by a showing of “compelling reasons” that a public trial will work a “clearly defined and serious injury” to a party.

Upon information and belief, no notice was given to the public or press that the records in this proceeding were being sealed, and no opportunity was provided for objections to sealing to be presented to the Court. Courts have rightly imposed a heavy burden on parties seeking to close a civil proceeding in contravention of the public’s common-law right of access to such proceedings. The party seeking to deny the public access to court proceedings based on claims of privilege or confidentiality or otherwise (ongoing criminal investigations) must establish that the evidence or testimony to be withheld from the public is the kind of information that courts will protect and that there is good cause for the order to issue. Publicker Indus., Inc. v. Cohen, 733 F.2d 1059, 1070-71 (3d Cir. 1984). A party demonstrates good cause by showing that disclosure of the information will work a “clearly defined and serious injury” to the party seeking closure. Publicker Indus., 733 F.2d at 1071. The potential injury must be shown with specificity and by reference to articulable facts, and general allegations or unsupported statements of counsel will not suffice. Kamakana v. Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1181 (9th Cir. 2006); Publicker Indus., 733 F.2d at 1071. Even when a party makes a facially sufficient showing, a court still must “carefully balance the competing interests” at stake. Seidle v. Putnam Investments, Inc., 147 F.3d 7, 10 (1st Cir. 1998). Only the “most compelling reasons” justify closing civil proceedings. See In re Knoxville News-Sentinel Co., Inc., 723 F.2d 470, 476 (6th Cir. 1983); see also Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178. More trivial “injuries” will not suffice. Id. Reasons deemed insufficient to close civil proceedings include the possibility of “embarrassment, incrimination, or exposure to further litigation,” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179, and a business’s general interest in keeping its legal proceedings private, Stalnaker v. Novar Corp., 293 F. Supp. 2d 1260, 1264 (M.D. Ala. 2003).

C. The First Amendment secures the public’s right to attend and observe civil trials.
The First Amendment secures a qualified right of all citizens to attend and observe civil proceedings. Publicker Indus., Inc. v. Cohen, 733 F.2d 1059, 1070 (3d Cir. 1984); see also Meyer Goldberg, Inc. v. Fisher Foods, Inc., 823 F.2d 159, 163 (6th Cir. 1987); Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. v. Federal Trade Comm’n, 710 F.2d 1165, 1179 (6th Cir. 1983). The application of this right to a particular proceeding depends on considerations of “experience and logic” that question whether the type of proceeding in question has historically been open to the public and whether public access exerts a positive influence on the process involved. Press-Enterprise Co. v. Superior Court, 478 U.S. 1, 8 (1986); Publicker Indus., 733 F.2d at 1068. In the case of civil trials, this analysis yields the conclusion that the qualified First Amendment right of public access attaches. Publicker Indus., 733 F.2d at 1070.

D. Any abrogation of the public’s First Amendment right to access of judicial records and to attend and observe civil proceedings should be upon notice and an opportunity to be heard.
Although the First Amendment right of access to judicial records and judicial proceedings is not absolute, a decision to restrict that right must be preceded by notice to the public and an opportunity to be heard on the issue of closure. Newman v. Graddick, 696 F.2d 796, 802 (11th Cir. 1983); In re Knoxville News-Sentinel Co., 723 F.2d 470, 475-76 (6th Cir. 1983); see also In re Storer Communications, Inc., 828 F.2d 330, 335 (6th Cir. 1987). In the case at bar, the public has no knowledge of the issues involved or the extent of the curtailment of its rights.

E. The decision to “seal” judicial records must be based on specific findings that the closure is essential to preserve “higher values” and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest.
In balancing the competing interests at stake, a court must rely on specific, on-the-record findings. Lugosch v. Pyramid Co., 435 F.3d110, 125 (2d Cir. 2006). “Broad and general conclusions” will not suffice. Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 120. A trial court’s findings must be sufficiently detailed to allow for effective review by an appellate court. Press-Enterprise Co., 478 U.S. at 9-10.

Even if a trial court decides that the balance tips in favor of sealing records and pleadings in derogation of the First Amendment right of access, the extent of the closure must be narrowly tailored to serve the interests at stake. Globe Newspaper Co. v. Superior Court, 457 U.S. 596, 607 (1982). The trial court must implement only the protections least restrictive of the public’s First Amendment right of access and should go no further than necessary to safeguard the countervailing interests. Any measures that exceed these parameters will impermissibly infringe the public’s First Amendment right.

Intervention under Tenn. R. Civ. P. 24.02
.
Mr. Matthews should be allowed to intervene under Tenn. R. Civ. P. 24.02, to present his arguments to unseal the record, just as any other citizen. See, Ballard v. Herzke, 924 S.W.2d 652, 657 (Tenn. 1996).

In addition to constitutional 1 and common law rights of access to judicial records, the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 10-7-503, provides the public a right of access to public records. Section 10-7-503(a) states that “all state, county and municipal records . . . shall at all times, during business hours, be open for personal inspection by any citizen of Tennessee, and those in charge of such records shall not refuse such right of inspection to any citizen, unless otherwise provided by state law.” According to Tennessee Code Annotated section 10-7-403(2), “public records” shall be construed to mean “the pleadings, documents, and other papers filed with the clerks of all courts, including the courts of record, general sessions courts, and former courts of justices of the peace, and the minute books and other records of these courts.”

If an item meets the criteria set forth in sections 10-7-403(2) and 10-7-503, and is not within any of the enumerated categories of records designated as confidential in section 10-7-504, then the documents are presumed to be open to the public.

It is now well-settled that civil proceedings, as well as criminal proceedings, are subject to the First Amendment right of access. King v. Jowers, 12 S.W.3d 410 (Tenn. 1999).


WHEREFORE premises considered, Thaddeus Matthews respectfully moves that this Court:
1. Set this Motion for Hearing at a day and time certain, when Movant can argue his Motion; and
2. Recognize Movant’s right and grant his Motion to intervene under Tenn. R. Civ. P. 24;
3. After hearing and for good cause, unseal the record in this matter; or in the alternative
(i) Unseal the record in this matter as it may pertain to Mr. Matthews; or in the alternative
(ii) Conduct an in camera examination of the record to establish that the rights of Mr. Matthews are in no way implicated in this matter; or

(iii) Unseal the record and redact only those portions for which the Plaintiffs can sustain their burden of proof that there are specific articulable facts justifying such action after notice and hearing; and

4. Grant such further relief to which Mr. Matthews may be entitled.
Respectfully submitted

LARRY JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW COX'S CONFESSION READS I WILL REPOST IT TONIGHT,AND BY THE WAY ARE YOU ALSO GOING TO SUE ALL THE LOCAL TV STATIONS THAT SHOWED THE CONFESSION FROM MY SITE ON THEIR NEWS PROGRAMS?

DOES CITY ATTORNEY GERALD THORNTON HAVE THE BALLS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT?

Gerald Thornton who works for the City Attorney's office and who also is the husband of WREG"s Stephanie Scurlock has been seen going in and out of Larry Godwin's office since Monday. Sources on the 12th floor state that Thornton is assisting Godwin with trying to come up with a plan to cover the ticket fixing of his friend Bradley Greer. Those same sources state that Godwin has asked Thornton if there is a way that officer Sampson PryorIII can be fired.

Godwin is upset with Pryor because he spoke with WMC'S Jason Miles and also with me. Pryor revealed that Godwin's friend's ticket was dismissed through his sending Deputy Chief Jim Tusant into Judge Jayne Chandler's court. Judge Chandler normally addresses anyone who has a speeding ticket that is 10 miles over the speed limit,Greer was 19 miles over the 45 mile zone that he was in at Riverdale and Winchester. Godwin is stated to have told some on the 12th floor that his firing Pryor would cause another negative backlash against him, but he must do something to the nearly 30 employee of the department.

I have often told Thornton is the past that he's Godwin's boy and that he is used to do the dirty work of a corrupt cop. While Thornton denies that what I think of him is true, his running in and out of Godwin's office carrying a leaking bucket shows that his interest is not that of the City of Memphis but that of a man who wants to violate the freedom of speech of bloggers, a criminal who fixes tickets and one of the biggest police failures in the history of directors of police in Memphis.

If Thornton was not Godwin's kiss ass he would advise the mayor to cut his loses and fire Godwin. Godwin will lose his lawsuit against bloggers, and if Thornton is truly his own man and not the Stephin Fetchit of Godwin he ask that charges be brought against Godwin and Tusant for violating not only the law but the city charter. But he won't because only his eyes are big and not his balls.

TOMORROW I WILL POST A PICTURE OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM ON GODWIN'S HOME THAT WAS PAID FOR WITH TAXPAYERS MONEY. I WONDER WHY WE ALL DIDN'T GET ONE. SEEMS HE DOSEN'T REALLY BELIEVE IN HIS BLUE FLUSH PROGRAM HIMSELF.

SOURCES STATE THAT JOE FORD HAS LOST HIS DAY JOB

Sources state that County Commissioner Joseph Sampson Ford has been fired as President of his family's business N. J. Ford and Sons Funeral Home. The Sources did not give the reason for the firing but state that Harold Ford Sr. the CEO of the company fired not only his brother Joe, But brother Melvin as well. James "Butch" Herndon the embalmer was also fired. With the embalmer gone whose going to keep their dead from voting?

WHAT ROLE DID THE SISTER PLAY IN THE LESTER STREET MASSACRE?

While I contend that there was more than one killer at 722 Lester a person who states that they are an insider who has full knowledge of the confession and statements of Jessie Dotson states otherwise. The insider also states that Jessie raped Shindri Roberson before she died and came back to the house and raped Marissa Williams as she lay dead in the house on Lester. The autopsy report shows that Williams had tears to her rectum.Is it possible that Dotson came back and had anal sex with the woman that he lost to his brother while in prison?

Here's what the "Insider" had to say happened according to Cecil Dotson:

(An Insider)Cecil,Jessie, and Seal had been out purchasing guns from other gang members...there was an argument between the brothers because Jessie wanted ownership of the bigger weapons and Cecil being the boss of everything(which he always was!)disagreed!...you guys are on point as far as the robbery that took place...but that crime was over and they had gotten away with it for the time being...Cecil storaged everyones cut of the loot and all the weapons there at his home 722 lester...it appears that he was a leader and everybody followed...

the other gang members had respect for him(Jessie was jealous)...Once inside and still arguing with Cecil Jessie said fuck this just give me my cut of the money and imma do my own thang(that's why he was let inside the house)they continued to argue... but where the fuel came into the already lit flames was when Cecil didn't give Jessie the correct amount of his cut, there was a fight between the two...(everybody that knows Jessie knows he's always strapped) so they were in a tussle the other adults tried to break it up...Merissa got knocked down Cecil went for his gun...Jessie pulled out 2 automatics(that were on him) one that he always kept and one that he had just purchased while they were out!...it wasn't even loaded yet!...reflect back to the autopsy...no one would wait til their turn(this is true!)

Now here it goes! the untold story:The argument got heated and Jessie grabbed Seal and put a gun in his mouth and demanded that Cecil give him more money...he told him nigga you owe me you owe me your mutha fuckn life! Shindri started crying and Merissa started pushing the kids back into the other room because they came out during the argument...he accidently shot Seal and by this time Cecil was running to grab his own gun...he then turned to Cecil and shot him several times in the thighs(disabling him) Merissa came and jumped on Jessie and a shot went off in her abdomen...

Shindri started towards the doorway and he fired at her knees and legs as a result so far nobodys dead at this point but Hollis, however all the adults are Disabled! he then loaded a different weapon....now before i move on reflect back to the neighbor that said he heard several rapid shots and then minutes later there were several more that were slower like pow...pow...pow with that said he already had one adult dead...he disabled the others...reloaded and finished them off!...

but not Shindri...she told him where the drugs were and afterwards he rapped and suffocated her...then the poor kids well the only thing i will share about the kids is that when he started on the kids they were hiding 1 in the bedroom closet with the baby...and the others were in the bathroom(silence)...did you guys know that Jessie returned to the crime scene twice? yes he did!...you see because he's been in the system for so long he thought he could out smart it! he already had all the drugs,money and the guns that he took after he killed everyone...he even used Cecil's car to go home and shower at Nicoles and hide the money etc., he went back and rapped Merissa's already dead body...obviously he didn't want her facing him so he did it from behind(which is where the tears in her buttocks came from)...

he began to stage the scene to make it appear to be a robbery/drug deal gone bad and we all know how the laws react when it was a drug deal involved(they throw it out as a drug deal gone bad!)however his plan failed because even though the adults were human beings and didn't deserve to die that way...he fucked up when he cut on those babies!!!!!!! it was then that this case became personal!n e way i'm gonna clear up a few more missing pieces and hopefully we can all put this tragedy to rest...the drugs were placed inbetween Shindri's legs and yes he raped her too...the hair was placed in Merissa's hands(it was a human hair ponytail)...he also placed the drugs in Cecil's hands on his already dead body...

so you see he went back and parked Cecil's car and staged the crime scene...(its a blessing he didn't realize the other kids were still alive) they were unconcious but still had a pulse...personally i feel like Nicole should go to Jail! she dropped him off at the scene to drop off Cecil's car(now you know she knew something was wrong!)Cecil never let Jessie drive his car let alone borrow it! he staged the bodies... I will give her credit for calling Erica and tellig her somethings not right! Erica didn't know anything! so on that you guys were wrong...Nicole was adventually confided in by Jessie after the bodies were found and she managed to make him believe she wouldn't snitch and to give her the money and drugs to hide...

later after securing the money and drugs she ratted him out by going down to the police station and begging for protective custody and telling them where to find the bloody clothes! the officers staged the whole police station apartment act to keep Jessie from finding out that he had been betrayed by his family once again!(Seal was the only accidental death)so no you didn't get the entire confession on the first 48 and no you didn't see the blurred bodies in the crime scene (who would want to?)THANK YOU Memphis Police for an Outstanding job well done!(even though Nicole broke the case) we on the inside know the story...we know the TRUTH!

The story sounds good and according to what I've read in the autospy reports has some facts to it,but with Seals being shot several times I don't think his death was an accident. If the insider knows all of this is he or she a police officer in the Homicide division that is trying to set the record straight or is the insider a family member? But the biggest question is why is Nicole Dotson not in jail? By the wayNicole after spending many years in Goodwill Village in North Memphis has moved out of the low income apartments. I'm told that she has moved to the Frayser area which is the same area that the surviving children I'm told have registered for school........I hope that she does not have custody of these victim of the horror which she may have played a role in

LOOKS LIKE LARRY HAS ANOTHER LEAK IN HIS BUCKET DOESN'T IT

MASON IS NOT THE LEAK

Things on the 12th floor of 201 Poplar are jumping this morning,Police Director Larry Godwin has been in close door meetings since his arrival. Sources within the police department state that Gerald Thornton of the City Attorney's office has been locked up with him to try to figure out what to do about the blogger lawsuit and his fixing a ticket.

Sources are also stating that Willie Herenton and Godwin are working together to plug up leaks,and that the reason that Caroline Mason was moved to Missing Persons is because that think that it was her whose leaking information to me. This goes to show that Godwin does not have a clue where to start looking for his leaks. While I think that Mason is some what sexy and thick,we have never had any type of relationship business or otherwise. So Larry you and your puppet Willie Herenton must look further.

Sources are also stating that nothing will be done about Godwin fixing the ticket of his friend Bradley Greer because Herenton has control of City Attorney Elbert Jefferson who has control over the city courts. It's becoming common knowledge that Herenton has a fear of what Godwin knows about him. maybe someone needs to find out who ordewr the car of Michael Simons to be shredded after he was killed at the hands of Andrea Herenton.

There are so many officers that want Godwin gone that info is pouring out of 201 Poplar and will not stop until he's gone. By the way Larry does your daughter work for Bradley Greer? And have you built any fences lately?

AUTOSPY REPORT SHOWS THAT JESSIE DOTSON IS NOT THE SOLE KILLER AT THE LESTER STREET MASSACRE

The City Of Memphis Police was in such a hurry to quash the national attention on the Lester Street Murders that they have allowed all the blame to placed on Jessie Dotson based on the statement of a drug induced child with no attorney or family representative present.

While I believe that Jessie Dotson may have played a part in the murders I have never felt that the murders were committed solely by him. After reading the autopsy reports of the victims and after having former Shelby County Medical Examiner O.C. Smith on my program on last week I am even more convinced that Jessie Dotson did not act alone.

I have felt from conversations from various sources that the killings were gang related and that the killings had to do with drugs. The police has not been honest with this community concerning all the facts of this case. What I am about to reveal is documented in the autopsy reports of the victims of the Lester Street Massacre.

The autopsy report of Cecil Dotson the brother of Jessie shows that he was shot 8 times. Gunshot wound to the head,Gunshot wound to the neck,Gunshot wound to the chest,Gunshot wound to the right thigh,Gunshot wound to the left thigh,Gunshot wound again to the left thigh, Gunshot wound to the left leg,and gunshot wound to the left foot.

When Dotson's body arrived at the city morgue he had in his left hand a bag of marijuana. Are we to believe that a man being shot 8 times was trying to roll a joint, or able to hold on to a bag of dope? It is my belief that the bag was placed in his hands after he was shot as a symbol of the gang that killed him. I am aware that drug were being sold out of the 722 Lester address by a cab driver that contacted me,stating that he had taken a passenger to the address you jumped out of his cab when to a rear window,got served and got back in his cab.

The proof of Cecil Dotson being a member of a gang is all over his body. The autopsy reports speaks of various tattoos on the body ,all being symbols of a gang life style. If you enlarge the morgue graph of Dotson you will see the large 7 and 4 tattoos on the rear of both of Dotson's arms. The 7 represents the 7th alphabet G and the 4 represents the 4th alphabet D. The GD stands for Gangster Disciples. The morgue report also speaks of the tattoo WD, the letter G with the symbol#. There was also a five point star with the letter G. With these various tattoos on the body of Cecil Dotson there is little doubt that he was involved in the gang life style.

Like the body of Cecil Dotson, the body of Shindri Roberson AKA Alicia Roberson was used to symbolize drugs. While Roberson's 113 lb. body arrived at the morgue her blue jeans were pulled down to the level of her knees with her bloody panties waist band pulled down to the level of her ankles. Her black bra pulled up to expose her left breast and a pink shirt pulled up to her armpits. Between her legs was a bag of crack cocaine. It is my belief that just like the marijuana was placed in Cecil Dotson's hand so was the crack placed between the legs of Roberson. Toxicology reports show no crack in either of their systems. Roberson was shot 4 times, Gunshot wound to the right thigh,Gunshot wound to the left knee, Gunshot wound to the left calf, And gunshot wound to the left thigh.

Hollis Seal 33, was shot 3 times,Gunshot wound to the mouth, And 2 gunshot wounds to the chest. There was no drugs left on his body and the morgue report makes no mention of tattoos,but there were abrasions to the forehead.

Marissa Williams 27, who was the live in girlfriend of Cecil Dotson,who at one was also the girlfriend of Jessie Dotson was shot 5 times,Gunshot wound to the head,Gunshot wound to the chest,Gunshot wound to the left leg,Gunshot to the right thigh, Gunshot wound to the left side of the abdomen. While no drugs were left placed on the body what I find strange that has never been reported until now which really leads me to believe that someone other than Cecil Dotson was present is the fact that according to the morgue graph of Williams body it states ' HAIR CLUTCHED IN HANDS AND UNDER FINGERNAILS'.

The question now must be asked whose hair did Marissa Williams have in her hands? Who did she struggle with,and whose hair was long enough to grab? Looking at the haircut of Cecil Dotson who sources that know him, state that his known hair style is like the one shown which is short and certainly not long enough to grab a hold to. Did Williams attempt to fight off her killer and in so going so grabbed the hair of that person? I would like to also know what kind of hair it was and does the hair belonged to an African American or Latino,since there has been mention of the MS-13 gang as the killers.

The two children killed Demario Dotson 4,and Cecil Dotson II 2, had no gunshots but were killed due to stab wounds and blunt force. Cecil Dotson II had 7 stab wounds to his 33 lb. body. One of the stab wounds penetrated the skull 1 inch. There was also multiple incised wounds to the head,torso and extremities. There was also abrasions and contusions to the head and torso. Demario died from a stab wound to the chest and multiple blunt trauma to the head. There was also contusions and abrasions to the left upper extremity.

Dr. O.C. Smith who has studied the autopsy reports of the victims stated on my radio show that the incisions on the children appeared to be a way to not only torture the children by perhaps a way to force the parents into talking. He suggested that if the killers were looking for something that they could not find that perhaps the children were used to attempt to force Cecil and Marissa into telling them where their money or drugs were located.

Dr. Smith was also very critical of the First 48 filming the investigations and states that with lights and cables and the trampling through the crime scene some evidence could have been destroyed or tainted. He suggest that the defense attorney for Cecil Dotson should request the raw taping of the program to see if bodies were moved for better TV or if some of what was shown was staged.

Dr. Smith believes as I do that the statement of a drug induced minor with no legal or family representation is going to be hard to hold up in court. It is my belief that MPD homicide detectives were under orders to close this case so that the national spotlight could be removed. so that grabbed Jessie Dotson who was probably there but not there alone. Sources state that even though MPD has told the community that they have their man the Feds and other law enforcement agencies are still looking at the case.

There were 20 shots fired in a house that is very close to neighbors why didn't anyone here the numerous shots? Could it be because the killers used silencers? It is also my belief that other family members are aware of exactly what happened including the sister whose North Memphis apartment had evidence in it I'm told that connected Jessie to the scene. It's not over and I will keep digging.

GODWIN'S FIXING OF FRIENDS TICKET VIOLATES CITY CHARTER

Larry Godwin's involvement in fixing the ticket of his friend Bradley Greer is a violation of the city charter,which reads:

FROM THE CITY CHARTER:Sec. 2-10-8 Use of position or authority.A. An officer or employee may not make or attempt to make private purchases, for cash or otherwise, in the name of the city.B. An officer or employee may not use or attempt to use his position to secure any privilege or exemption for himself or others that is not authorized by the charter, general law, or ordinance or policy of the city. (Ord. 5206 § 8, 7-1-07)

ELBERT JEFFERSON WHAT SAY YE?

SIDENOTE: MY 201 SOURCES STATE THAT GODWIN'S 12TH FLOOR GOONS ARE TRYING TO FIND A WAY TI FIRE SAMPSON PRYOR III FOR DOING HIS JOB. IF HE IS IN VIOLATION FOR SPEAKING TO THE MEDIA AND IS FIRED GODWIN AND TUSANT SHOULD ALSO BE FIRED FOR VIOLATIONG THE CHARTER

MAYOR, INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW

Many are wondering why mayor Willie Herenton refuses to fire Police Director Larry Godwin. Could it have anything to do with with his son Rodney and his wife Andrea,and a man killed on the interstate?

Could it have anything to do with the victims car being shredded the next day when it should have been held for evidence? Could it have anything to do with witnesses at a party that Andrea attended stating that she was drunk? Could it have anything to do with the victim being given an alcohol test after his death and Andrea never receiving one?

Could it be that the only way that there could have been a cover up would have been with the help of the person in charge of Special Operation who was in charge of Traffic and the shredder,which happen to be Larry Godwin?

Why was Janice pilot announced as the new Director after the firing of James Bolden but after Bobby Todd who was over Traffic and present with the mayor at the scene of the accident walked Godwin into the mayor's office the decision of Pilot changed....JUST THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM

THE ASHLEY SCOTT STORY AS REPORTED HERE FIRST.

Larry here's something else for you to concern yourself with other than bloggers as I reported first in December of 2007;

Over the last year there has been a rumor around 201 poplar that Police Director Larry Godwin will be a prime witness in the murder of Ashley Scott, whose husband is accused of killing her after going into a jealous rage after finding text messages in her cell phone.

I am told by high ranking officials in the police department that the text messages in the phone of Scott came from Godwin and that he is using Lt Joe Scott a long time friend and former head of the homicide unit to cover his involvement with Ashley Scott.

It is believed that Jeffery Scott struck his wife and caused her death because of text messages in her cell phone of a intimate nature. I'm told that when Joe Scott checked the cell phone he recognized the number that produced the messages to be that of Godwin, and sought out to protect his boss and friend.

Some police officials believed that to reward Lt.Joe Scott for attempting to cover his involvement with Ashley Scott he was given the job of being in charge of " Crimes Against Persons" which is normally lead by an inspector. Joe Scott was also given an 5% "Out Of Rank" pay increase. This has angered majors and inspectors who now take orders from someone with a lesser rank. The new positon that Lt. Scott holds covers Homicide, Robbery, and Sex Crimes. I must note that Scott received this new job after the Thanksgiving death last year of Ashley Scott.

Larry Godwin who at the time was my next door neighbor,lived within walking distance of Ashley Wood,in fact the walk from his home to where she was living can be walked in less than 3 minutes, So is it possible that Godwin could have known Ashley Scott? I reported in an article last year that the information of the text messages was also known to Attorney Leslie Ballin who represents Jeffery Scott the husband and accused killer of Ashley. I spoke with Leslie several days after I wrote that story last year at 201 Poplar, who mentioned to me that that very morning Larry Godwin approached him as they were walking in the building and told him that he didn't know Ashley Scott.

Why would the Director of Police tell an attorney that he's not guilty of sending text messages to Scott. I relayed to Ballin that I have also been told that the messages were erased from the phone, but that the carrier of the service would still have those messages. If Godwin bears no guilt or involvement in the death of Ashley Wood why would he go to Ballin?It must also be stated that if what is being said about Lt.Joe Scott he could come up on charges of obstructing justice.

There's an old saying that says " If you throw a stone into a pack of dogs, the dog that gets hit hollers first". It seems that the director has barked.

JUDGE JAYNE CHANDLER WANTS TO KNOW WHY POLICE DIRECTOR TRIED TO FIX A TICKET IN HER COURT ROOM

What is it going to take for mayor Willie Herenton to fire Police Director Larry Godwin for abusing his authority and for malfeasance? While Godwin is attempting to violate the right to free speech by The MPDENFORCER 2.0 maybe he should be explaining why he used his position and that of his Deputy Chief to fix a ticket. Here's what happened:

On May 19,2008 local businessman Bradley Greer appeared in City Court for driving 19 miles over the speed limit. Greer didn't want to stand in line like other citizens and kept trying to go to the front of the line outside the courtroom of Judge Jayne Chandler. One of the two City of Memphis police officers who handles security for the courtroom Officer K.J. Brown noticed the man on his cell phone trying to break the line and ordered him to get in line like everyone else.At that point Greer read the officer's name tag and mentioned it to the person he was speaking with on the phone. When the officer inquired as to who he was giving his name to Greer stated to the officer "Director Godwin will be down to take care of you".

Officer Brown mentioned this incident to the senior officer in the courtroom Officer S.F. Pryor III whose been on the force for 29 years. Pryor told Brown to do his job and treat Greer like any other citizen.Shortly after court started and Judge Chandler was on the bench Deputy Chief Jim Tusant entered the courtroom with Greer,by passed the judge and went over to the City Prosecutor to address ticket #Q409632. Tusant asked that the ticket be dismissed and it was. Never even regarding Judge Chandler, Tusant and Greer left the courtroom.

At this point the judge inquired of Officer Pryor as to why Tusant was in her courtroom. Pryor told the judge what Tusant had just done as part as having Greer's ticket dismissed.Judge Chandler became livid and told the Prosecutor that Tusant was out of order and that Greer was going to treated the same as any other citizen no matter who he knows. Chandler ordered that the ticket be returned to the docket and that Greer appear before her. The date for Greer to return to court was Thursday July 3,2008.

In the mean time I'm told that Judge Chandler sent a letter to Police Director Larry Godwin telling him that she will not allow him to fix tickets in her courtroom and that she had returned Greer's case to her docket. I'm also told that Chandler requested his appearance in her courtroom also on July 3,2008.Earlier that week I received a call from a close business associate who stated to me that Police Association attorney Ted Hansom had been in contact with him,and knew that the two of us were friends. I was told that Hansom had said that there was really nothing to the case and that the ticket had been paid. It was apparent from my conversation with my business associate that there was the wish that I not be present in the courtroom on Thursday morning.

Seeing that a private citizen and not a police officer had received the ticket I couldn't understand what Hansom's role was. But when I got to Judge Chandler's courtroom on Thursday morning I found out.It appears that Ted Hansom is representing Bradley Greer who was not present on that Thursday morning in court. I'm told that Larry Godwin was on vacation so he was also unable to appear. The hearing has been reset to August 5,2008.

The question here is why is Godwin and Tusant attempting to fix a ticket,and what is the relationship between Godwin and Greer. I'm told that Greer owns a restaurant that officers frequent . The Police Director and his command staff getting involved in ticket fixing should send a signal to mayor Herenton that it's time to make a change. How can police officers ticket citizens when the Police Director is allowed to fix tickets for his friends.

Under Tennessee law “illegal cancellation of a traffic citation is a Class C misdemeanor and carries a maximum fine of $50 and a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail, according to Tennessee Code Annotated, 55-10-204.” But in the case of Godwin it is also Malfeasance of his duties. This matter should be turned over to The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. This matter can easily proven by questioning the officers along with Godwin and Tusant. Plus the records of the court can also be checked. Judge Jayne Chandler also would be able to testify to the fact she placed the matter back on her docket.The Director was so upset with the officers in Judge Chandler's court for telling her what went on, that the officers whose only job is court security were sent outside 202 Poplar to write tickets on their lunch break.

FROM THE CITY CHARTER:Sec. 2-10-8 Use of position or authority.A. An officer or employee may not make or attempt to make private purchases, for cash or otherwise, in the name of the city.B. An officer or employee may not use or attempt to use his position to secure any privilege or exemption for himself or others that is not authorized by the charter, general law, or ordinance or policy of the city. (Ord. 5206 § 8, 7-1-07)

CHECK ON TICKET TO ENLARGE AND READ

SIDENOTE: SOURCES WITHIN 201 POPLAR STATE THAT THE SEALED INFORMATION IN CHANCERY COURT HAS TO DO WITH HOW GODWIN THINKS I GOT HOLD OF THE CONFESSION OF DEXTER COX WHO WAS ACCUSED OF KILLING HIS FRIEND ED VIDELICH. I'M TOLD THAT GODWIN THINKS THAT SOMEONE CONNECTED TO MPDENFORCER LEAKED THE DOCUMENT TO ME. BUT THEN WHO CARES WHAT HE THINKS, HE'LL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE.

DR.O.C. SMITH WILL DISCUSS LESTER STREET MURDERS TODAY ON"'EXPRESS YOURSELF"

Former Shelby County Medical Examiner O.C. Smith will be my guest today on "Express Yourself". Dr. Smith will discuss his feelings concerning the Lester Street murders. Like myself Smith is not sure that the murders are the work of one man and will discuss at length the autopsy reports of all the victims.

On the show facts that Memphis police have never revealed will be discussed.such as the fact that Shindri Roberson was also known as Alicia Stevenson and was shot 4 times.Roberson jeans and panties were pulled down to her knees with her pink shirt pulled up to her armpits with her black bra pulled up exposing her left breast. Roberson body when exmined had a plastic bag containing a hard yellow substance between her labia.

We will also discuss how Cecil Dotson Sr. was shot 7 times and had abrasions to his right groin. Dotson also had a leafy green substance in his left hand. I will ask Smith what the various tattoos on Dotson's body could have meant,such as the number 7 in one spot and the numbers 4&7 in another plus the Star of David with the letter G.

You will hear how 4 year old Cemario Dotson with his Spiderman outfit died,and also how 2 year old Cecil Dotson jr. died. Just based on the autopsy reports of the victims I can not believe that Jessie Dotson acted alone. Sources within the MPD state that Jessie Dotson never signed a confession and that the statement by a minor under the influence of medication will cause problems in court. I'm also told by my sources that federal law enforcement agencies are still investigating this case. Smith will also discuss how the First 48 Hours may just help Jessie Dotson's lawyer.

WHAT IS GODWIN SCARED OF?

What does Police Director Larry Godwin and The City of Memphis have to hide that they have join forces to violate the Constitutional rights of a local blogger whose sites speaks out against the misdeeds of the department and attacks the shady dealings of Godwin.

The site is ran by a blogger who calls himself or herself,Dirk Diggler who may or may not be a former police officer. It's very possible that Dirk may also be a current officer who is a high ranking officer who is close to Godwin and knows how corrupt he is,and for this reason Godwin is running scared.

The site MPD ENFORCER2.0 is heavily visited by local police officers who state their disgust for Godwin and his command staff. While Godwin seeks to find out where his leaks are he is seeking to violate the First Amendment by using tax payers dollars to quash Freedom of Speech. Godwin who for some unknown reason has Willie Herenton kissing his ass knows that he could soon face indictment if what police officers are saying is true when it comes to his involvement with former President of The Memphis Police Association Tommy Turner and missing thousands of dollars from that organization. Is This what Godwin is scared of?

Could he be scared that the public may find out that maybe the reason that Willie won't touch him is because he as the head of Special Operations covered the killing of a man several years ago on the Expressway by Andrea Herenton, Or that when it was announced that Janice Pilot would replace James Bolden as Police Director Bobby Todd who was over the traffic division and a close associate of the mayor walked Godwin into the mayor's office and reminded Willie about the favor that had been done on his behalf that suddenly changed his mind about who would take command of the police department.

Maybe Godwin doesn't want it discuss how he recently attempted to fix the traffic ticket of the owner of a local restaurant by sending his deputy chief Jim Tusant into Judge Jayne Chandler's court and got the ticket dismissed from the Olive Branch resident who was going 64 in a 45 mile zone. Judge Chandler saw what Tusant did and placed the case back on her docket and sent Godwin a very strong letter also asking him to appear in her court. The case was reset for August 8,2008. maybe Godwin can also explain why the business owner is being represented by the Memphis Police Association's attorney Ted Hansom.

Having this idiot attempting to come after me in the past I know that there is nothing that the courts can do to force AOL to reveal who Dirk happens to be. Dirk is using the site as a news source and thus is protected by the Tennessee Shield Law. But the main thing that protects Dirk is the Constitution and the right to free speech. MPD ENFORCER 2.0 is not forced upon anyon and a choice has to be made to go to the site thus Godwin if he does not like what is on the site has the right to stay his ass off.

But the question must be asked why are taxpayers being forced to pay for Godwin's lawsuit? Does not Herenton have the balls to tell Godwin no? The members of the city Council have the responsibility to protect the city from this type of action from Godwin and should be questioning why taxpayers dollars are being so misused. Dirk and I don't always agree on issues and the site has attacked me in the past, While I may not have liked what was said I join in the fight for the site to have the right to do so.

WHY IS GODWIN SO PARANOID?

RADIO VET TO TAKE STAGE IN SOUL HEAVEN,REST IN PEACE STEVE LADD

">
Life sometimes has to remind us of just how fragile it is. For the last couple of Monday nights I have attended a Blue Jam session that WDIA radio personality Bernie " Steve" Ladd was presenting at the plush Club. Monday night he seemed so happy as he spoke of putting together a venue for Blues artist and musicians and how great the new band he had put together sounded.

div>Wednesday night this veteran radio announcer from Texas was struck with a sickness that early Sunday morning took his earthly life.

While Steve was making plans for The Jus Blues Award Show to be held on Beale Street in August God had other plans. It makes one look at one's own life when someone close to you seems to be in the best of health one day and is dead the next. Life has a way of reminding us that much of what we think is important has no importance at all and that we should claim each day of life as a precious gift from God.

REST IN PEACE STEVE, I GUESS YOUR NEXT M.C. JOB WILL BE ON STAGE IN SOUL HEAVEN

THERE WILL BE A BLUES TRIBUTE WITH MANY LOCAL BLUES ARTIST PERFORMING THURSDAY NIGHT AT 7PM AT THE OLD DAISY ON BEALE. THE PERFORMANCE IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BUT DONATIONS WILL BE REQUESTED TO HELP THE FAMILY WITH ANY COST INCURRED BY STEVE'S DEATH

JOE TOWNS WILL BE MY GUEST MONDAY ON "EXPRESS YOURSELF"

Congressional candidate Joe Towns will be my guest on Monday on "Express Yourself" at 4pm on AM 990 KWAM. You are invited to call in and ask Towns why as he also runs for his state seat is he running for congress and what would he do differently then the current congressman. We will also discuss why Nikki Tinker does not have a true commitment to the Black community and why being Black is not enough to be represent the 9th Congressional District.

CALL IN NUMBER IS 260-5926

NIKKI WHEN IS JUNIOR GOING TO ENDORSE YOU?

Even though his wife Emily Threlkeld Ford recently contributed to the campaign of Nikki Tinker,Harold Ford Jr has not endorsed or cut a commercial for his former "campaign manager". While Tinker may have worked in Ford's campaign no proof has been given that she was his campaign manager ever.

But if she bases one of the reasons that she should represent the 9th Congressional District on her close connection to the former congressman,why has not he given his endorsement? Surely there are still a few people somewhere under some rock that would vote for her if Junior just said that she was the right one for the office.

Ford has already denounced his brother Joke Ford's independent race for congress so there is no reason for him not to endorse Tinker IF he thinks that she's qualified for the position. Maybe Ford knows what the rest of us knows and that is that the only office that she should have in Washington is a Pinnacle Airlines office located there.............But then again Congressman Cohen did keep his uncle John from having to serve his time thousands of miles away from friends and relatives.

IS IT IF OR WHEN WILL WILLIE HERENTON BE INDICTED?

My cell has rung all day asking me whether or not I had any info on Mayor Willie Herenton being indicted. My first call came this morning as I eat breakfast downtown on Beale stating that someone had called in on a local radio station stating that Herenton had been indicted on 13 counts. I immediately got on the phone but could not concerned the statement as fact, but throughout the day I spoke with several sources in law enforcement that stated that Herenton had been taken away in handcuffs earlier on Thursday.

Sources within city hall swear that FBI agents were in the mayor's office early this morning,they also state that agents went to Herenton's South Memphis home also this morning. The word is not if Herenton is going to be indicted but when,and that some close to Herenton are worried if some of his dirt may get on them. I can believe this knowing that someone very close to the mayor wanted to talk to me in April,in fact even came to my birthday party to let me know that there was something that I needed to know. But we were never able to hook up.

Along with the mayor's involvement with E.W. Moon I was told today that the Feds may also be looking at whether the old Greyhound Bus terminal was sold secretly to Herenton Investments who in turn sold it to E.W. Moon who in turn sold it to MATA to house the trolley cars.

While everything that has been stated today is rumor I do know from a very reliable source that late this evening (Thursday) between 7:30 and 8:00 Herenton was seen leaving the office of attorney Ruby Wharton.

WHATS YOUR VIEW ON TODAY'S RUMORS?

CONGRESSMAN COHEN WILL APPEAR TODAY ON EXPRESS YOURSELF

WHAT'S YOUR VIEW?

The Lester Street Murders aired tonight on A&E's First 48.After viewing the show what is your view on the murders and do you still believe that just one man committed this crime. I missed the show by was there anything shown other than a confession that convinces you that this was just the work of one man?

IS NIKKI TINKER AND BLACK MINISTER WORKING TOGETHER?

Nikki Tinker the candidate for the 9th Congressional District seat who stated in a live debate on Sunday night that she believes that the district which is made up of mostly Blacks should have at least one black congress person is being supported by a black preacher sending out hate mail against current congressman Steve Cohen.

Rev.George Brooks of Murfreesboro Tn (615-494-9056) is distributing literature supporting Tinker that states that because Cohen is a Jew he is Anti-Jesus. Brooks states that he's "one Black preacher who can and will get down in the street or even the gutter to make his point clear".

Knowing that Blacks have a strong feeling concerning their faith,Brooks implies that Jews killed Jesus and that the congressman is Anti- Christian.

In a second piece of literature Brooks attempts to send a message to the Black community that they should never vote for anyone other than another Black. His message states that if Memphis were predominantly Jewish and a Black was running against a Jew,that Jews would not support the Black candidate over the Jew. In both pieces of literature the message ends with "Elect Nikki Tinker For Congress".

The question must be asked why is a Black preacher from middle Tennessee concerned about Memphis politics,when there's not a black congress person from that area. Is Tinker and the Black group of Memphis Black preachers whose supporting her using Brooks to do their dirty work? Is brooks the pawn in the game of racist politics that from a distance can get his hands dirty while Memphis Black preachers support and maybe finance his efforts?

This is not the first time that Brooks has sent out hate literature in the name of Tinker who did not denounce him last year when Anti-Semitic material was sent out against Cohen. Is Tinker throwing darts of racism and hiding her hands? Does Tinker support Brooks? Will Tinker publicly denounce Brooks? I think not because Brooks is a part of a plan by Tinker and local Black Preachers to attempt to send a message to Black voters that they can not deliver themselves.

OPEN INVITATION FOR NIKKI TINKER TO SAVE FACE AND PROVE THAT CERTAINLY NO ONE CAN BE AS SORRY AS SHE WAS IN SUNDAY'S DEBATE

Little Nikki proved on Sunday night that she is out of her league in the game of politics. It was painful to watch her performance during the debate between herself,Congressman Steve Cohen,and Joe Towns. Never once did she answer a direct question and if you're like me you got tired of hearing her talk about her sick grandmother and her mother who was a single parent. But we did find out that her mother must be one tough lady being both a steel worker and a airline attendent as Tinker claimed in the debate.

Tinker proved to anyone who had not made a decision on who to vote for, that certainly she's not the choice. She has no history of service and never gave us her position on any issue. It seems the only reason that she's running is to keep her grandmother from having to go to the mailbox to get her check which opened the door for Joe Towns to give the most remembered statement of the night. "Older people are not waiting for the mailman to bring the check they all have direct deposit"

Tinker spoke of being a civil rights attorney,but after questioning from Cohen could never tell the audience when. As a labor attorney for Pinnacle Airlines its her job to look after the airline not the workers.,so is this just another lie from the wanna be poli-trick-an? Tinker also claims to have been Harold Ford Jr's campaign manager, but when? It's possible that she worked in his campaign but she needs to prove that she was his manager. If she manage his campaign like she's managing hers he would have never been elected.

To be so sorry in her performance she must not have listen to one thing that State Rep. Lois Deberry and County Commissioner Sidney Chism told her. Certainly they would have told her to at least address issues. Certainly they told her not to allow Congressman Cohen to make her look like a political novice and rattle her cage with his questions. It was plain to see that when Cohen addressed her tenure as an civil rights attorney she became unnerved stalling her answer by telling Cohen that she didn't interrupt him when he was speaking.

Tinker is not ready for congress,in fact with her having no history of service, being easy to rattle,and a speaking voice that is very unpleasant to the ear she's not ready for any office. Even those who state that only a black should represent the district will certainly now give their vote to Joe Towns who handled himself well.

Nikki, Congressman Cohen will be my guest Friday at 4pm on "Express Yourself" on Am 990 KWAM join us for a one on one. I don't think that you have the nerves or the knowledge to sit in my studio with the congressman and myself discussing issues. And certainly Sidney and Lois will not advised you to appear on my show because they know you can't take the spanking I'll give you...............IF YOU AIN'T SCARED PROVE ME WRONG AND ACCEPT MY OFFER FOR A ONE ON ONE WITH COHEN.

ELDERLY ACTIVIST WANTS BLACK PASTORS TO SUPPORT NIKKI TINKER FOR CONGRESS BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK

William Larsha Sr. is a elderly gentleman who has been politically active for more than a half a century belonging to many political organizations including serving 8 terms on The Shelby County Democratic Party's Executive Committee. Larsha has also been a contributing writer to the Tri-State Defender for more than 35 years.

I admire Larsha for his work in the community but when I view his concepts for Nikki Tinker being elected to congress,I have to wonder if his thinking has become warped by his age or whether he justs wants her elected because she's black whether she has no history of service or not.

Larsha has been sending me articles for several months concerning Tinker that I have refused to published based on the fact that I think that the candidate who has only been in Memphis for 5-6 years whose campaign is based on her sick grandmother and her single mother on the porch is not a reason to send her to congress. But I thought just to show the mindset of larsha and others associated with him, I would publish his latest rant.

Larsha's sole reason for wanting Tinker elected is based on the fact that she is black and could become the first Black elected female to congress from Tennessee. Larsha's claims to have a group who has chosen Tinker as "The Consensus Candidate". Supposedly this group who Larsha refuses to name because they don't want to be perceived to be racist,divisive, or anti-Semitic met to make this choice without inviting any other candidates to be present.

It appears that Larsha is guilty of the same things that I have heard him attack white poli-trick-ans for, "Back Room Politics". This group of unknowns who have selectively chosen Tinker as their candidate speak for no one but themselves,an are much more dangerous to the status of Black politics than any White poli-trick-an could ever be.

While I totally believe in Black representation, i believe more in Blacks who serve the agenda of the community and not themselves. I also believe that if a White candidate has proven to have the agenda of the Black community at heart and has worked to benefit equally both Blacks and whites then that candidate deserves the Black vote. Nikki Tinker boast of working for Harold Ford Jr. means nothing, since in the 10 years that he was in congress he did nothing but promote himself. Her recent statement at the NAACP forum that she worked with Ford giving away turkeys and hams should be an insult to every hard working Black in the 9th Congressional District. Where is the jobs or the funding to create jobs that Harold Ford Jr. should have brought to the district in 10 years.

William Larsha has attached himself to a coward group who does not have the balls to stand up publicly for their convictions. So the question must be asked why? The answer is simple here is just another group of Blacks who have an agenda to serve themselves ,who perhaps has been paid off by Tinker or her handlers to receive a payback if she is elected.

Larsha is asking Black pastors to attempt to convince their congregations to vote for Tinker, but I would ask these "Men Of God" what is their position on Tinker's being endorsed by Emily's List who supports a woman's choice to abortion. Surely these "Men Of God" won't openly support a candidate who believes in a woman's right to kill a a baby will they? But then since Tinker has refused to state what her position is on this subject, the pastors won't ask because they to subscribe to the rhetoric of Larsha. But then this is the group of preachers who couldn't support Congressman Steve Cohen because he's a Jew...... I WONDER IF IN THEIR PULPITS THIS MORNING THEY WILL DENOUNCE A JEW NAMED JESUS

CANDIDATE DEFEATED IN COURT AND SAYS HE PLANS TO SUE THE CA FOR $1 BILLION

As M.Latroy Williams sought to permanently restrain me from ever being able to discuss his owing $71,000 to the Trustee's office while he is seeking to run for the seat that would put him in charge of over a billion dollars of taxpayers money,Circuit Court judge Karen Williams told him that he could not hide behind a defunct corporation.

First Supreme Trust a business where William owns 100% of the stock and also the location where he lives was the subject of 14 hours of testimony and lies by Williams. It was found that the corporation that Williams states he does not owns made an arrangement with the Trustee's office,and that the first and only payment was payed with a personal check from Latroy. Also there is a letter in the Trustee's file where Williams speaks of the corporation being his.

Judge Williams stated that Freedom Of Speech must be protected even if one does not like the messenger. Judge Williams stated that she does not listen to talk radio,but as a talk show host I have the right and the obligation to inform the community about those seeking public office.

When the attorney representing County Trustee would ask Latroy Williams any questions concerning First supreme Trust he would attempt to convince the court that he was just the agent even though he owns all the shares in the corporation. When asked why if the defunct corporation has a bank account would he make a $500 payment with a personal check he stated that he was told that he had to pay at that moment. He went on to say that the other partners paid the $500 back to him. The attorney asked why would the other partners pay him anything who he claims is his mother and brother and sister when he owns all the shares, to which he had no answer.

During the two days of the hearing Latroy Williams traveled with several men who appeared to be either from a homeless shelter of a crack alley. Several of the men are seen everywhere that Williams goes. Many in court wondered what is the true relationship between Williams and these men.

Williams tried to convince the court that the reporting of his debt to the Trustee's office which now has reached $71,000 started with me and that the CA only reported his debt after I started speaking of it. While I take credit for the constant reporting on Williams it was through the background checks last year from the CA that I took notice of Williams debt while he was seeking the office of City Court Clerk.

Williams brags about loaning himself $250,000 to run his campaign but many are wondering where the man who lost his house on Parkway and is presently living in his business got $250,000. Could he have gotten the money through some source that needs him to be in the Trustee's seat and that the goons following him around are present to make sure he spends the money only on the campaign?

By the way M.Latroy Williams states that he plans to sue the CA for a billion dollars for also reporting about his tax debt to the very office he seeks to hold. Latroy Williams is a joke and has tried to deceive the black community by planting signs everywhere you look. Williams thought process is that the Black community will fall for anything which is the reason that he has printed bogus ballots in the name of a organization that does not exist. Knowing that some Black have a unfounded loyalty to the Democratic Party, Williams who is running as a Independent states on his signs that he's a real democrat. But as Judge Karen Williams stated during one of the rants of Latroy during the hearing "WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE THINKING PROCESS OF MR. WILLIAMS'. Your Honor, we all are but crazy will do for starters.

N.J. FORD AND SONS FUNERAL HOME GAVE ME PERMISSION TO ENTER THEIR MORGUE

News Channel 3 last night reported that there are at least 3 violations being investigated by The State Board Of Funeral Directors, against N.J. Ford and Sons Funeral Home including the pictures that I took of Lester Street victim Shindri Robinson.

As I stated at that time and still state the employees of the funeral home were fully aware that i was present and assisted me in taking the pictures. I was given the okay by Operations manager Edgar Miller who I spoke with over the phone telling me that the body had arrived from the City Morgue. I asked if I could come over and see the body and he gave the okay.

Prior to entering the morgue I visited in the lobby with Miller, Joe Ford, and John Ford. I was given the okay to enter the morgue ,and with camera in hand I entered the door which has never had an "Employees Only" sign. The morgue attendant showed me where the body was and removed the sheet, he also showed me where all the wounds were,and stood there as I took pictures. Also present was the hair dresser.

The statement by Joe Ford that I snuck into the funeral home is a lie. As a former employee of the funeral home and a person who is well known it would be impossible for me to sneak into the funeral home in broad day light. While I didn't ask permission to take pictures I would think if you give me the okay to enter the morgue with my camera in plain view that permission is being given, especially since that was not the first time I had taken pictures in their morgue where they were posted on this site.

I find it strange now that The State Board is concerned about the practices of N.J. Ford Funeral Home. In 1994 with the assistance of Charles Harrison of Orange Mound Funeral Home I submitted proof that Ford's overcharged for services, I provided proof of body snatching that had the assistance of the Homcide Division of MPD, I provided proof of a body being pulled out of a paid casket and resold because the body was going to the County Cemetery and the family was not being allowed to go. I also provided proof of how families who at the time were under the TENNCARE program Excess Med Plus were being targeted for rip off, but the state did nothing.

POLICE DIRECTOR ATTEMPTS TO FIX TICKET OF LOCAL BUSINESSMAN

Two weeks ago local businessman Bradley Greer appeared in City Court for driving 19 miles over the speed limit. Greer didn't want to stand in line like other citizens and kept trying to go to the front of the line outside the courtroom of Judge Jayne Chandler. One of the two City of Memphis police officers who handles security for the courtroom Officer K.J. Brown noticed the man on his cell phone trying to break the line and ordered him to get in line like everyone else.

At that point Greer read the officer's name tag and mentioned it to the person he was speaking with on the phone. When the officer inquired as to who he was giving his name to Greer stated to the officer "Director Godwin will be down to take care of you".

Officer Brown mentioned this incident to the senior officer in the courtroom Officer S.F. Pryor III whose been on the force for 29 years. Pryor told Brown to do his job and treat Greer like any other citizen.

Shortly after court started and Judge Chandler was on the bench Deputy Chief Jim Tusant entered the courtroom with Greer,by passed the judge and went over to the City Prosecutor to address ticket #Q409632. Tusant asked that the ticket be dismissed and it was. Never even regarding Judge Chandler, Tusant and Greer left the courtroom. At this point the judge inquired of Officer Pryor as to why Tusant was in her courtroom. Pryor told the judge what Tusant had just done as part as having Greer's ticket dismissed.

Judge Chandler became livid and told the Prosecutor that Tusant was out of order and that Greer was going to treated the same as any other citizen no matter who he knows. Chandler ordered that the ticket be returned to the docket and that Greer appear before her. The date for Greer to return to court was this past Thursday July 3,2008. In the mean time I'm told that Judge Chandler sent a letter to Police Director Larry Godwin telling him that she will not allow him to fix tickets in her courtroom and that she had returned Greer's case to her docket. I'm also told that Chandler requested his appearance in her courtroom also on July 3,2008.

Earliar this week I received a call from a close business associate who stated to me that Police Association attorney Ted Hansom had been in contact with him,and knew that the two of us were friends. I was told that Hansom had said that there was really nothing to the case and that the ticket had been paid. It was apparent from my conversation with my business associate that there was the wish that I not be present in the courtroom on Thursday morning. Seeing that a private citizen and not a police officer had received the ticket I couldn't understand what Hansom's role was. But when I got to Judge Chandler's courtroom on Thursday morning I found out.

It appears that Ted Hansom is representing Bradley Greer who was not present on Thursday morning. I'm told that Larry Godwin was on vacation so he was also unable to appear. The hearing has been reset to August 5,2008.

The question here is why is Godwin and Tusant attempting to fix a ticket,and what is the relationship between Godwin and Greer. I'm told that Greer owns a restaurant that officers frequent but I have not been able to prove that...yet. The Police Director and his command staff getting involved in ticket fixing should send a signal to mayor Herenton that it's time to make a change. How can police officers ticket citizens when the Police Director is allowed to fix tickets for his friends.

Under Tennessee law “illegal cancellation of a traffic citation is a Class C misdemeanor and carries a maximum fine of $50 and a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail, according to Tennessee Code Annotated, 55-10-204.” But in the case of Godwin it is also Malfeasance of his duties. This matter should be turned over to The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. This matter can easily proven by questioning the officers along with Godwin and Tusant. Plus the records of the court can also be checked. Judge Jayne Chandler also would be able to testify to the fact she placed the matter back on her docket.

The Director was so upset with the officers in Judge Chandler's court for telling her what went on, that the officers whose only job is court security were sent outside 202 Poplar to write tickets on their lunch break.

IN 1982 TRUSTEE CANDIDATE WANTED TO PAY ME WITH ORAL FAVORS

In 1982 at the age of 26 I worked as an unarmed security guard for Marion Latroy Williams at a club he was leasing at 380 Beale, known now as The Plush Club, I only worked for Williams when he had events at the facility.

In the CA this morning Williams states that he fired me for stealing, which is a lie. As a security guard for Williams it was my job to handle the persons going in and to escort those who acted unrulely out. At no time did I ever have excess to any money or anything else.

I'm sure Williams does not want to state why he fired me,and I have not mentioned the reason I have such a strong dislike for the man on air or on this site until now. The reason that Williams fired me was because I promised to kick his ass after he offered to perform oral sex on me when he could not pay me for my work.

Because Williams never spent the needed money to promote an event he never had a crowd,After a failed Bobby Womack show where less than 50 people were present I asked Williams to pay me for the night and for work from the previous week that he had promised to pay after the Womack concert. Williams didn't have my money or the money to pay Womack when I some what forcefully demanded my money his statement to me was "Come on in my office after every one leaves and I will take care of you". When I went to his office he stated that he had had a bad night but that he was will to "Suck my Dick" as payment.

After his comment I went completely went off and went for him he ran out of his office hollering "You're fired". And from that day to this one I have had no conversation with him. I have no liking for Williams at all knowing that as a man he is willing to pay his bills by placing a man's penis in his mouth.

I have never approached Williams about advertising on this site or on my radio program. Last year when he ran ran for City Court Clerk I wrote about his owing back taxes to the Trustee's office,and when he decided to run for the Trustee's office I again started to write about him. I wrote last month concerning how he was running for an office that he has a debt for. I created a spoof that I ran on air that urged my listeners not to vote for a liar and deceiver since he also was claiming on his campaign signs to be a "REAL DEMOCRAT" when in fact he's running as an Independent.

I received a call several weeks ago from Ray Nolan a local caterer who had recently catered my birthday party asking me how I felt about Latroy I stated to Nolan that I didn't like him at all. Nolan wanted to know if he could get with me to discuss advertising for Williams, I stated that I am in the advertising business and I don't have to like you to take your money for advertising. Since I was going to the Juneteenth festival and Williams had a set up there we agreed to meet.

At tyhe festival I spoke with Nolan and a guy he introduced at "Pookie" who was supposed to be Williams campaign manger. They asked if Paul Matila was going to advertise on my site and on the radio I stated yes. They wanted to know how much he had spent, i told them that that was not there business only how much they were spending was their concern.

With Williams running as an Independent I thought at the time that he would be running until November, I quoted the price of $5,000 for advertising both on the site and the radio. Nolan and Pookie stated that that was not a bad price and that Williams had plently of money. They wanted to know if I would continue to bash Williams or endorse Matila. I stated that in races where I have more than one candidate in the same race advertising I was not getting involved in that race by making an endorsement. I also told Nolan and pookie that while I would not continue personal attacks I would still have to record the facts of Williams race. While the two were copncerned about this fact they felt that a lots of adds running was needed.

I must make it known that I never had a conversation with Williams about ads or money my only conversation was with Pookie and Nolan. I was told that even though they knew that Williams and I didn't like each other, the advertising should be about business. i agreed and stated that even though I didn't like Williams I would be crazy to turn down his $5,000.. I was told to give them 48 hours to convince Williams to come up with the money.

That conversation was on a Saturday,on Monday i contacted Nolan who stated that he and Pookie had been talking and that he was sure that Williams was going to advertise. They asked that I would not personally attack Williams, but they did not ask they I did'nt report the facts. On the monday show I addressed the issue of Latroy owing taxes and aired the spoof. That Monday night Nolan stated that he didn't know what was going on and that Pookie and latroy was leaving him out of the loop.

On Tuesday I again hit the latroy issue on my radio show,and late Tuesday night I received a call from Pookie about the advertising. he stated that he had the man with him who had the money for Latroy but that the man wanted to know what he was getting. In the transcript that Williams submitted in his lawsuit which the CA reports about the whole conversation is not given only about 2 mintues of the conversation even with my Rottweiler barking. The man whose name who I found out to be marlon kept pushing me to state that I was taking the $5,000 to keep silent about Latroy.

I stated to Marlonthat the advertising was only for adverting on my site and the radio. I stated that I didn't have a dog in the Trustee fight and that while I would not personally attack Williams I would report the facts. With the push that Marlon was giving I knew that he was taping me. I stated on the phone "that if this conversation is being taped that latroy Williams is paying for $5,000 solely for advertising". I stated that I would no longer play the spoof but that I would not endorse or support Williams and continue to report the facts. Marlon wanted the spoof I stated that that could not be done because it's not on tape but in the computer. At this time Marlon gave the phone back to Pookie we spoke again about advertising and ended the conversation.

After receiving the injunction filed by Williams I found out that Pookie's name is Ed Davis. Davis signed the portion of the lawsuit that deals with the selected portion of my conversation with Marlon as though I'm having that conversation with him. But on my show on Monday Davis called in and stated that he knew nothing about the taping or the conversation between myself and Marlon. I asked him on air why he signed the complaint he replied because Williams wanted him too.

Williams states that Paul Matila and myself conpired to damage his campaign. While I know Matila politically, he in no way has conspired with me to damage Williams,neither has he supplied me with any information. All information that I have used against Williams is public information.

Williams wants this job real bad and I must ask for what. As of yesterday his debt is $71,000 in back taxes. As for his claim that First Supreme Trust may owe the taxes, he's the sole listed corporator and even though the corporation is dissolved in court on Tuesday it will be proven that he continued to create debt. Williams was served by a process service on Thursday night setting his day in court on his debt at they very same hearing that he thought would only be against me and Matila.

As for his statement in the CA that I compared his looks to one of the apes from 'The Planet of The Apes" Just take a look for yourself.

Some will say if I knew the character of Latroy Williams why was I willing to sell him air time. Simple I had no choice. While I never approached Williams about buying commercials once his camp approached me by Federal Law I no longer have a choice in the matter. The FCC requires that if Paul Mattila who is a candidate for the Trustee office buys time I cannot refuse to sell time to Williams or any other candidate in that race.

HERE'S THE LAW

Basic FCC Law and Policy
What rights do candidates for public office have to purchase time on a broadcast station?

Federal candidates have the right to purchase reasonable amounts of time. State and local candidates have no such right, but like federal candidates, are entitled to equal opportunities when their opponents have purchased time or been given free time.

LATROY WILLIAMS CREATES BOGUS BALLOT TO FOOL THE BLACK COMMUNITY INTO VOTING FOR HIM.

>

Marion Latroy Williams seems to have no limits in what lies and deceitful games he will attempt to play to get elected to the office that he owes $67,000 too. Not only does Williams owe the Shelby County Trustee's office $67,000 in back property taxes he has lied stating on his signs that he's a "REAL DEMOCRAT" when in fact he's running as an Independent.

It has come to my attention and I am providing the proof that Williams in his desperation to become the Trustee has stooped to creating a phony ballot in the name of an organization that does not exist. I have been provided with a copy of a political ballot that Williams has had printed at Cecil's Printing on Poplar. The ballot which endorses Williams has his picture all over it and supposedly comes from The Memphis and Shelby County Democratic Club.

In checking State and local records this organization does not and has never existed. Williams took the partial name of a dissolved organization named The Shelby County Democratic Club which has not been active in several years,Especially since the death of it's founder Melvin Robinson.

It was Williams plan to pass out this ballot in the black community hoping that with the pictures of known black political leaders appearing to support him that he would be able to receive trick votes. Williams knows that many in the Black community will not research for themselves and will be swayed but numerous signs and well known names.

In fact Williams uses the name Minerva Johnican which he spells Jonican as a chairman of the Memphis and Shelby County Democratic Club. I spoke with Minerva who totally denounces Williams and states that she knows nothing of the organization and does not support him. Williams also uses the name E. Davis, who most likely is Edward Davis a person who has been working in his campaign. No one knows who J. Chism and N.H. Ford is who he also uses as chairmen.

You will notice that Williams states that he attended Harvard and Princeston Universities(Could he have meant (Princeton)? surely a guy who cannot spell the name of the college did not attend the school. His list of accomplishments also have the spell of lies lingering in the air. He states that for 3 years he financed the Black Business Association,that he was the President of the National Business League.

Read his list and I'm almost sure you will agree with me that Latroy Williams is a poster child for Lakeside,and the biggest con artist to hit Memphis in a long time. This ballot should be an insult not only to the Black community but to every voter in the county. Every thing about Williams is a lie like the information on the ballot.

i WILL BE URGING MY LISTENERS DAILY NOT TO BE FOOLED BY THIS POLI-TRICK-AN WHO SEEMS TO WANT THIS JOB BY ANY MEANS. COULD IT BE THAT HE THINKS THAT HE CAN DELETE HIS DEBT FROM THE SYSTEM IF ELECTED?

TINKER USES SHORT BUS FOR HEADQUARTERS

NOW THAT WE KNOW WHERE NIKKI TINKER HEADQUARTERS IS LOCATED CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHAT HER PLATFORM IS?

CANDIDATE FOR TRUSTEE BROTHER DOES NOT SUPPORT HIM SO WHY SHOULD ANYONE ELSE?

When a person decides to run for a political office he or she normally expects members of his or her family to support them. No matter what others think of the candidate family members know the real person behind the campaign and usually wants the community to rally around that candidate and his or her bid for office. And if the family of a person running for office can not support the bid and openly supports another candidate that should be a signal to the community that the candidate may not be the person he or she pretends to be and should make voters say if the family does not believe in________why should any one else.

At the corner of Semmes and Park in Orange Mound stands The Candlelight Entertainment Center owned by Jimmy Williams. Jimmy is the brother of Marion "Latrine" Williams candidate for Shelby County Trustee. On the massive iron fence that surrounds his businessJimmy Williams has allowed County Trustee Paul Matila to place his campaign sign on it. It seems that Brother Jimmy does not think that his brother who has had 9 Federal tax liens, had to business charters revoked by the State of Tennessee for failure to pay the Tennessee Department of Revenue, and presently owes the very office that he is running for $67,000 is the person to be entrusted with the multi millions that the County Trustee has charge of.

Maybe brother Jimmy also has a problem with "Latrine" stating that he is "A Real Democrat" when records from the Shelby County Election Commission show that "Latrine" is running as a Independent. Or maybe since he grew up with his brother and knows him better than any voters he knows that "Latrine" can not be trusted.

"Latrine" on last week filed a lawsuit against Paul Matila, KWAM,and myself, for me exposing his lies. On Tuesday he sought to have me taken off the air until after Tuesday's hear at 10AM in Part 3 of Chancery Court. "Latrine" offered to take the radio station out of the suit if they would pull my show until next week so that I could do him no further harm.

KWAM radio station is fully aware that the information that has been shared is public information and has taken the position that the station fully supports and stands behind me and is willing to pay attorney fees to quash this bogus poli-trick-an.

While the Black community many times attacks the White political tricksters for their political schemes the black poli-trick-an who is a self server instead of a public servant must also be exposed. The fact that "Latrine" Williams states on his many signs that he is a Democrat but yet runs as an Independent is deceit. Williams knowing that many in the Black community will be impressed with his signs and never research him to playing to that ignorance. Now that I have exposed him he knows that his chances of winning is the same as a snowball in hell.

"Latrine" you drew first blood and I can assure you that it will be a long hot summer with no letting up from me. And remember if his brother can't trust him why should anyone else?
