Scott Wippert, Robyn Bramson, and Josh Solberg arrive in court. Ventura County Senior Deputy District Attorney Maeve Fox is bent on punishing fourteen-year-old murder suspect Brandon McInerney - to death.

I’ve received several emails from a concerned woman out there by the name of Diane Seltzer. She is fighting for a worthwhile cause – media bias – particularly as it relates to a young man by the name of Paul Vincent Cortez. I can totally relate to this issue because I felt it so prevalent [...]

Thanks to DNA testing, [...]

Today I realized that I am in control of my life. Sounds crazy and random, but when you have lived a life like mine – that is something that isn’t all that hard to forget. My life has consisted mostly of doing what I’m told. Not because that’s the way I wanted it to be [...]

My heart goes out deeply to Joseph Giacona’s mother. She’s the upstate New York woman who has to sit and watch as her son faces the judicial grind of a place that sometimes, seemingly, has no sense of justice.

Things are starting to heat up in a very interesting manner in the Brandon McInerney case. Brandon’s new attorneys, Scott Wippert of the United Defense Group, and Robin Bramson, have just filed a defense motion for discovery, which in great part attacks the Ventura County District Attorney’s “Failure to Exercise its Filing Discretion.” If the [...]

Fourteen-year-old Joseph Giacona. My friend Brad Lewallen at JusticeforJuveniles.org recently notified me of the strange case of New York’s then 13-year-old sacrificial lamb. Now fourteen, Joseph J. Giacona III has been charged as an adult with the second-degree murder in September of his father. Prosecutors say Joseph shot his 37-year-old father in the head with a [...]
