David Copperfield, Will He Test Real Handcuffs?

Monday, October 29th, 2007

No indictments and no criminal charges have been filed against David Copperfield, yet it seems that through media leaks he has already been smeared in the public eye.

A woman is claiming that Copperfield created the illusion of a party, but there was no party and he allegedly hit her and raped her while she was visiting him in the Bahamas. Copperfield owns a series of islands there.

So, the FBI raided his warehouse and also visited the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino where he performs in Vegas. Did they find anything? No one knows yet. They supposedly confiscated some items, including a computer hard drive and digital cameras.

There are reports circulating about how Copperfield uses his shows to target women he is interested in from his audiences. Now plenty of women are coming forward and saying they think they were targeted and were asked by Copperfield’s people about where they like to vacation, among other things.

My question is, if Copperfield was so shady, why didn’t any of these women come forward before? None of them made a peep until this woman from Seattle said she was assaulted and sexually assaulted by him. I find that quite shady.

So the investigation continues. Unless this woman has the results of a rape kit to back up her accusations I don’t really look for this case to go very far. Sounds more like morning after regret to me, if anything.

Mom Turned In For Drunk Driving By 8 Year Old Son

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

A mom who has a habit of driving drunk was reported for drunk driving by her 8 year old son.

The woman, was allegedly driving drunk while her son was in the car. The smart little boy decided to use a cellphone to dial 911.

Paulette Lynn Spears, 33, was arrested Saturday night after she drove to a fire station and told people there that she had a medical problem. It turns out, the problem was that she was drunk.

Her son, riding in the car with her, had been repeatedly calling 911 and trying to describe landmarks as they passed them. Using global positioning technology and the little boy’s descriptions, the police located the car at the fire station less than a minute after the woman and her son arrived.

Before the little boy had called police, they had received another call about the vehicle driving erratically. When the little guy got in touch with police he told them that his mom wasn’t acting normal and that he didn’t know exactly where they were.

At least twice when the boy was trying to get police help, his mother interrupted the calls. At one point she reportedly bit her child on the hand to try to get the phone away from him.

A five year old child was also in the car with Spears. Both children were placed in the care of a relative and Spears was arrested for suspicion of DUI, reckless endangerment and assault of a child. She has at least one previous conviction for drunk driving.

Man Wins $4 Million After Assault By Chicago Police

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

I think the Chicago police officer who assaulted this man should go on trial for sexual assault, and when found guilty he should have to register as a sex offender. What kind of sick human being puts a screwdriver into someone’s rectum?

I am glad that the man will receive $4 million. He deserves every penny of it.
