Parole Hearing Scheduled :FINALLY!!!

Hello everyone!  Thank all you so much for continuing to support and read my blog.  Just a quick update......my husband is finally getting his parole hearing...the 16th of this month.  Course he had to take them to court before he got a date.  They claimed that they had a "discussion" about him and denied early termination and that discussion was his hearing.  What a crock of BS.  The law states that he has to be present to his parole hearing and it is required that he has one every 2 years.  You gotta watch the parole commission...they think they are God and can do whatever they want.  They even said they were exempt from any legal action....WRONG!!!!

My husband has a new parole officer and he is terrific.  I know not too many people have nice things to say about PO's but this one is great!  He and my husband get along very well.  He's really nice and is very supportive.  A 360 degree turn around from his previous PO who took the Ass Hole of the Century award. 

Have a nice summer.  I will try to get on here and let you all know how the hearing goes. 

There is a petition that needs more signatures.  They are trying to abolish the public sex offender registry.  Check it out at the link below and please sign!  Thank you.

Hi Everyone!!!


Been a hectic time but I do read all your comments and post each and every one, good or bad.  I am taking time to thank every one for your comments.  I am so surprised at the number of people who read my blog.


My husband still has not had his parole hearing, his last one was in 2010.  Since then, he has had 5 polygraphs and passed every one!  His PO is still a major dick but hasn't been hassling him as much lately.  When he does do his surprise visits, he won't even come in anymore....Guess he doesn't want to talk to me....LOL!  


I can't remember if I told you all that my husband hurt his back at his job and then the company closed down that location.  At least his worker's comp and his lawyer is better than mine ever was.  He is now in voc-rehab.  This is where they pay you to look for a job and give you a counselor to help you with the process.  He meets with his counselor once a week and fills out job search form.  Has had plenty of interviews.....but nothing concrete yet.  


I am only working 2- 5 hour days a week.  My back is still giving me issues but learning to live with it.


We planted a garden this year.  Its been fun for us....we both enjoy going out and working in the garden.


Anyway, things have been pretty good here.  I was afraid when my husband had to start registering, that we were going to get a lot of grief.  You know the horror stories you read; but Thank God, we have been left alone.  The sheriff department comes out for a compliance visit every now and then.  Under SORNA, he now has to renew his registration every 4 months but there is no grief at the Sheriff's Dept.  They treat us like human beings and even have conversations with my husband.  They appreciate that he doesn't give them any grief, does what he needs to do....plus the  
deputy in charge of the registration knows about my husband's wrongful conviction.  As far as the conviction, my husband has given up that fight for now.  I mean, what can we do?  All the evidence in his case was packed/stored "incorrectly" "by accident" and is now worthless.  (Yea! I believe that one).  In other words, all the evidence that could be used for DNA was "accidentally" destroyed. Speaking of his conviction, he was supposed to serve 30 years, got out at 20.  Its been 10 years since he has been out....so he is trying to get "street credit" for the 10 years he has been on supervised parole.I figure that is why he hasn't been given a new parole hearing since they "officially" have no reason to keep him on supervised parole.  Oh...I forgot to tell you....he did write to President Obama....guess what the wonderful...cough, gag...president told him?  "If he were to plead guilty, then he would consider giving him amnesty."  Give me a BREAK!  Why would he plead guilty for something he didn't do?  If he turned down 3 plea bargains 30 years ago....why would he do it now?  I guess Obama will only give amnesty to illegal immigrants who are his relatives....like his aunt. 


I will try real hard to be better at writing something on a monthly basis if I can't do it any sooner.  Nothing new on the legal front as far as I know.  No new laws trying to sneak in through the cracks....


Just remember....in November, we need to vote.  Especially us women.  Have you listen to most of these candidates?  They are trying to take us back to cave man days... telling us what we can or can not do with our bodies.  So before November, take the time  to get familiar to those candidates.  We just can not let those candidates into office who want to tell us what to do with our bodies, take our decisions out of our control...We have fought hard for that right!  Let's not loose it this election. 


Til next time!  Keep those comments coming.  And for all you haters out there....I did post your comments...small minded and ignorant though they were.  I do not hide what the haters write. We all know they are out there.  We all have had to deal with that kind of ignorance.  By posting them, we can deal with them together.  So if you have something to say ...please feel free to write it...it will get posted for all to read.  (I can't guarantee my reply will be nice...LOL) but I will post it, un-moderated, un-edited...just as you wrote it.  For all of you who need or want to join our support blog:  I invite you to write in.  Share your story with us.  If you have had a run in with a hater...share that too.  Your experience will help others.


Thanks again.  

GPS monitoring for sex offenders

Proposed DPSCS Regulations not the "Silver Bullet" State Legislature hopes they will be.


Convinced that GPS monitoring is the answer to the sex offender problem, the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services is proposing implementation of new regulations to the Maryland General Assembly to control sexual offenders by GPS and other measures.Currently, 23 states use GPS to monitor some sex offenders while they're on parole. The devices, outfitted on an ankle bracelet, are typically placed on offenders considered at high risk of striking again. However, the use of GPS monitoring -- embraced as a simple technological solution for tracking the whereabouts of convicted sex offenders -- is proving to be something less than a silver bullet for state and local public safety agencies.Advocates behind the DPSCS proposed regulations, moreover, make no distinction between habitual offenders at high risk of striking again, worth having their every move tracked electronically once they're out of prison, and the felons who have served their time and present no apparent threat to public safety in the eyes of the court. Just put a GPS device on all of them, DPSCS and certain state legislatures say, forever.A simple solution if one ignores that there are an estimated 600,000 registered sex offenders in the United States. Without a doubt, the proposed DPSCS regulations are symptomatic of a national tide of fear about sexual predators lurking in the bushes by the playground, at the mall, just on the other side of the elementary school fence, and skulking about on MySpace. The reality is the vast majority of registrants are not predatory, and don't pose danger to strangers, which is the only common sense reason GPS would be useful.

Understanding GPS Limitations

In an ideal environment GPS can be very accurate, but in difficult topography or in bad weather, tracking errors and signal loss can disrupt accuracy and consistency. Maryland's legislature needs to be better and more fully informed so there's not a rush to use GPS simply because they think it's like "LoJack." Indeed, GPS limitations must be understood, and it must be used correctly to be of any benefit. Satellite technology is not effective and the influence of adverse weather and other interferences with the system pose problems -- particularly with cell tower issues -- where there are certain points the GPS signal can bounce off cell phone towers and points it cannot. And this last can occur whenever an offender ventures out of the satellites' range by entering dense urban locations or indoor places like a large mall, building, stadium, or even outdoors in a canyon-like environment, like Baltimore. Simply put, you can walk into a building and you lose satellite reception. All of us have experienced this at one time or another with our own cell phones. This, of course, then results in a false alarm -- which can number in the thousands in some jurisdictions, straining manpower and casting doubt on the viability of GPS as a tracking tool for high-profile felons. Nor is this last point without merit. A 2007 legislative study in Arizona found more than 35,000 false alerts by 140 subjects wearing the GPS-monitoring devices. Conversely, in Washington state, the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs opposed legislation in 2006 to expand the use of GPS based on their experiences with faulty readings when offenders moved inside steel buildings, tunnels or outside when it was snowing. Then there's the question of how already-taxed law enforcement will be deployed to monitor all this data on hundreds of people who aren't even on parole. While the proposed DPSCS regulations require the offender to pay for the actual system -- it fails to address the costs incurred by law enforcement response. These false alarm costs would run in the tens of millions in as little as 10 years and pose an even greater deficit to the state budget.

Understanding the Crime

As a society we need to become less hysterical and more informed about sexual offenses and sexual abuse. When we demonize the offenders, we're pretty much feeding the crime. We further isolate and alienate the offenders, which can serve as a precipitating factor in some offenders' impulses to act out. We further compound this by grouping or lumping all sexual offenders together in the state registry without distinction of crime. We're so focused on the minority of offenders who seem to fit our skewed perceptions of what sexual abuse and sexual abusers should be, we fail to recognize that the crime actually occurs closer to home.

Crimes committed by sexual predators are a serious problem -- and this article doesn't mean to underplay this fact when case after case shows children are ther victims of most sex crimes. Two-thirds of the victims of sex crimes are under age 18, and 58 percent of those underage victims were under age 12, according to U.S. Department of Justice statistics. Yet the majority of those victims aren't preyed on by strangers but know their attacker. Indeed, most sexual crimes committed against children happen closer to home and involve somebody whom the victim knows and trusts, like a family member or a neighbor. In 90 percent of the cases, child victims knew their attacker. And almost half the time that person was a family member. The vast majority of offenders abuse kids whom they know and either have close relationships with the children or the children's families.But the incessant emphasis on the boogeyman, the sexual predator in the schoolyard or on the Internet, can be counterproductive, as resources to fight sexual crimes, and public perception of them, are misplaced. GPS devices only serve to fuel the hysteria that all registrants are predators. Would not the funds DPSCS wishes to spend monitoring felony sex offenders not be put to better use by law enforcement in proactive programs for offenders that aim to prevent recidivism as opposed to programs which are purely reactive once the crime has been committed?

Understanding the Deterrent Effect

The obvious question therefore is: Will wearing a GPS device make a sex offender less likely to strike again? The research is spotty, simply because no one has been wearing the devices for the decades that the new DPSCS regulations propose. However, according to U.S. Department of Justice statistics, and contrary to popular belief, sex offenders are significantly less likely than other criminals to be rearrested. Despite this, DPSCS has decided: Why should 24-hour electronic monitoring end with parole? Even after offenders have legally paid their debt to society, DPSCS still wants to track their every move, regardless of their risk for recidivism.

The most that can be said about GPS monitoring in this context, then, is it's viewed as a panacea by its advocates and will prevent future crime. It isn't and it won't simply because common sense dictates the most GPS monitoring can do is tell where an offender is or has been -- but not what they were doing or whom they were with. Thus, it will have little or no impact on preventing crimes and serve only to promote a false sense of security within the community.In sum, the proposed DPSCS regulations are yet another example of feel-good legislation to get communities to feel that actual action is being taken by the state to stem the problem. GPS monitoring and residency requirements are not going to do anything with the vast majority of offenders. The simple truth of the matter is: A person intent on committing any type of crime will do so regardless of the consequences.

Understanding the Constitutional Implications

As Maryland rushes to impose harsher penalties on sex criminals, critics -- legal and criminal analysts, and even some victims of sex crimes themselves -- state that the punitive new regulations and laws violate civil liberties and are ineffective. And while a technological fix like fastening GPS devices to former felons may make the public feel safer, it will do little to protect the children who are the victims of most sex crimes. Beyond a doubt, if the Maryland General Assembly should decide to impose the device on all felony sex offenders -- whose crimes were committed before the proposition passed -- it would run into serious constitutional problems.

As a threshold point, the ex post facto clause in both the U.S. and state constitutions means that the government cannot impose a greater punishment for a crime than was allowed when that crime was committed. Thus said, the state cannot pass a law which increases the punishment for past acts. And this last holds particularly true when applied to Tier III offenders -- where it is tantamount to giving them a life sentence. Secondly, offenders may also be able to argue that being constantly monitored on GPS also violates their Fourth Amendment right, not to be subject to unreasonable search and seizure. Slapping a GPS bracelet on someone who is not on probation or parole could be considered seizure. The government simply has no authority to take somebody off the street, who has already paid his debt to society, served his time, and force him to wear a tracking bracelet. Aside from the 4th Amendment implications of this regulation, its passage by the General Assembly would raise a number of questions about the applicability of existing laws and judicial precedent to uses of new technology, particularly those that involve geo-location information. A state law that prolonged monitoring of user movements could constitute a search and, if performed by a government entity, therefore fall under the provisions of the 4th Amendment, especially where being forced to wear the device while in the privacy of one's home could also be considered a search - and in numerous cases violating both the offender and spouse's privacy.Likewise, the proposed DPSCS regulation requiring 21 days advance written notice, with documentation, any time an offender leaves the state and to show up in person 3 business days before departure to confirm travel plans runs afoul of the Constitution's Commerce Clause by interfering with offenders engaged in interstate commerce activities. And, it need not be pointed out, such violations would serve to further implicate First Amendment as well. In sum, the proposed draconian DPSCS regulations will raise some very important issues about what the state may do to an essentially free person.

House Bill 594 GPS Monitoring for Sex Offenders in the State of Maryland

Hi Everyone! I know I haven't written for a long time but you knew I would once I had another fight on my hands. I sent the letter below to Norm Conway State rep of Maryland and Mike Lewis, sheriff of Wicomico County. You may copy and paste my letter to use if you decide to write to your representative to let them know that you do not approve of their supporting this bill. It is a major fight for us all. I am asking everyone to get involved. If anyone out there has had any experience with the GPS monitoring, please write and let me know. I need all the ammo I can get. As always, if I use your story, I will keep you anonymous. Thanks all. God Bless and hope all is well with you.

I am writing to ask you not to support the GPS program for Sex offenders. I have done much research and found that the states that are using it, are not calling it a success. In Arizona, during the first year of using the GPS program, 140 sex offenders wore the GPS monitor. In that 1st year, there were 35000 false alarms from those GPS monitors. Of course, law enforcement did not know that they were false until they had had take the time to investigate them. That was an extra 35000 calls that the sheriff department had to go investigate. In Texas, a child sex offender testified against the use of the GPS program stating that while he was wearing the monitor, a child came to his home (though not in his case, it could have been a girl scout selling cookies). Law enforcement was unaware that the offender had a child in his home since the alarm does not go off if a child is near. In several other states using the GPS program, the courts have several law suits where the families of sex offenders are suing due to their violation of privacy. The GPS program uses cell phone towers for their location. As you are much aware, many areas around Salisbury are dead zones. Since the use the cell towers, many environmental factors would interfere: heavy wind, rain, snow; tall ,dense trees, low lying areas, buildings that houses machinery or steel; etc. THE GPS MONITORING SYSTEM WOULD NOT HAVE PREVENTED THE SARAH FOXWELL TRAGEDY. For one, Leggs was a Tier II and would not have been wearing one. He could have removed it or simply stayed in the dead zones. The GPS monitors are being placed on Tier III. Studies have shown that Tier III, the offenders who have spent the longest time in prison, also have the lowest recidivism rate. A few of the Tier III have had convictions greater than 20 years and have never done another crime of any kind. Studies also show that the longest the time between the original conviction and without any further criminal actions, have the lowest recidivism rates. Do you really want all these additional problems for Maryland? I think not. I can guarantee that there would be several of those law suits in the courts for evasion and violation of privacy. I am sure there will be more than several, since when one is filed...others will decide to do the same. Do you really want the MD courts to be swamped with cases from the family and friends? Do you really want law enforcement to have to go out on 35000 extra calls to investigate the GPS alarms? How can you justify the raising of taxes for a program that has been proved a failure by many other states? How would you be able to look another mother or father in the face and tell them that "No, the GPS monitor hasn't given us any useful information as to where your child is." Please do not make this a law that is passed just because it is another one of those "feel good" laws and will gain you more votes during the next election. I see it back firing when the program fails and you loose those votes. Or when several of officers are on a possible false alarm call and they didn't make it on another call to save someones life who was in real danger.

Thank you for listening. I hope all of you decide not to support the GPS program.

My life: Update of Us

I want to thank everyone for their comments. I know I have been neglecting my blog but things have gone from bad to worse. Between my back injury and the new Sex offender laws, I have been so depressed, I have not felt like writing. My husband still has the same Ass hole for a PO and he has gotten more retalitory. Always calling the Sheriff's office in an attempt to get them to arrest Michael. I was harassed my a MD state trooper. Now, my husband's parole hearing will be coming up in Jan. 2011. I have no hope that they will take Michael off supervised parole although between the 20 years he spent in prison and the 10 years of supervised parole equals his initial mandatory sentence of 30 years. (You only get credit for "street time" if you are arrested and facing more prison time. WTF?) My husband has been working as a CDL driver for this one company for the past 3 years. Now, they are closing that facility as of Feb. 1, 2011. These days there are NO JOBS. And with the new RSO laws, plus his PO changing the conditions of his parole every time the mood stikes.....He will be unable to get another job. I work 10 hours a week due to my back injury. (Thanks to worker's comp, I have suffered a $50,000/yr loss of income)

So that's my story update. Please continue reading and writing to me. We all need to feel some kind of support.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I will try to write more regulary in the future!

Sex Offender Laws: helping or contributing?

I am sure most of you have read or heard of the 11 year old girl in Salisbury who was abducted by a child sex offender who had been dating her aunt. At this time, he is only charged with kidnapping, but little Sarah was murdered and her body dumped in the woods. During the search for Sarah, which started Wed. 12/23, 2 state police stopped by my house and 230 a.m. Thursday morning. They were questioning all sex offenders in the area. Sarah was an 11 year old. Why in the world would the state police spend precious minutes to question someone who was not a CHILD sex offender, someone whose conviction was over 30 years old, someone who has never re-offended nor even violated any aspect of his parole? They only had the Wicomico County Sex Registry in their hand. Unfortunately, the Wicomico County registry does not seperate the child sex offenders from those who are not. Since Sarah's abduction and murder, many citizens are demanding another sex offender law be put in place "Sarah's Law". Why in the world would we want another sex offender law when there are too many now? First, the sex offender registry needs to be cleaned up. They need to take off all the Romeos, all those that peed in public, or "streaked". They also need to remove those whose convictions are greater than 15 years old providing that offender has not re-offender nor has not violated conditions of his parole. With 174 sex offenders on the Wicomico County Sex offender registry, there are not enough law enforcement nor enough money in the budget to properly identify nor monitor those who are at a high risk of re-offending. If they can not properly manage the registry...how can we expect them to enforce all those sex offender laws. Add to the responsibility of monitoring 174 sex offenders, add to that the increased crime, increased gang actvity: its way too much for law enforcement. Although Wicomico County does not have residency laws. they do not work either. When you take everything away from a man or woman, they will do whatever they can to survive. It is human nature.

If I didn't think they were serious, it would be absolutely hilarious at some of the solutions that the citizens of Wicomico County have stated in comments: 1> execute all sex offenders ( we all know that there are innocent men and women on the sex offender registry just waiting for the day their appeals are heard...so what happens if an innocent were to be executed...just going to say to the family.."OOOps, sorry."? 2> Castrate all sex offenders (again, what if they are innocent?) 3> Ship all sex offenders to a remote island like they use to do to lepers 4> Keep them in jail for longer sentences (prisons are over flowing now..do we let out a murderer, a serial killer to keep a sex offender?) 5> put them in prison with all the other prisoners, have the guards turn their heads, and allow the other prisoners have their way with the sex offenders. These so called solutions sound sick, don't they? Well, the little hick newspaper printed them along with the interview with a resident of Wicomico County who said that all sex offenders names and photos should be published in the newspaper for those without computers. If you can remember, I wrote a comment earlier that this same hick newspaper did just that!

I don't know about the rest of you but I am sick and tired of everyone lumping all the sex offenders together and all of us, the offender and their family, are treated like lepers. I keep asking but no one can give me an answer: why all the hype about sex offenders when no one gives a second thought to the drunk drivers who kill children, when drug dealers get little kids hooked on crack, when families keep guns in their homes and a child is accidentally killed when playing with one?

I was hoping 2010 was going to be a better year. It has started like all the rest: Politicians can't wait to get back in session so they can present yet another feel good law, a law guaranteed to get them re-elected, Sarah's Law. Its time for citizens to get smart and realize what these politicians are doing and realize that the more laws but on the books, the more ineffective they are because law enforcement do not have the man power or the budget to ensure all laws are being followed.

Happy Freaking New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Friend's Story: I am a wife of a Sex Offender

A friend asked me to post her story. It is a scary world out there and this story shows that even the most harmless act can cause a sex offender to be forced back to prison.

I AM ALSO THE WIFE OF A SO, AND A RN...I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO MY HUSBAND FOR MANY YEARS WHO IS AN ENGINEER, WE ARE A BLENDED FAMILY THAT ACTUALLY WORKS...THE KIDS NOW ADULTS CONSIDER THEMSELVES BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TELL SOMEONE....AND BE AS OPEN AND HONEST AS I CAN BE...I M SCARED...

Sex Offender framed by Fed. Judge Thomas M. Coffin when he was a U.S Attorney

Thomas M. Coffin, A Federal Judge in Oregon, framed a man for murder and rape when he was a United States Attorney. Not only did he frame this man but he asked the judge to give this man 2 life sentences and to have this man surgically castrated. How did he frame this man? Being the prosecutor on the case, Coffin, withheld evidence that would prove the man's innocence. Coffin also introduced circumstantial evidence that were obtained through an illegal search and seizure due to the fact that the search warrant had never been executed. Let me say before I give you the story, that before this man went on trail for the murder/rape, he was offered a plea bargain: A Guilty plea and he would do no more than 7 years in prison and he would be eligible for parole in 24 hours (He had already spent more than 1 year in prison because he would not let his parents put their home up for bond.) He was offered the plea bargain 3 times, and turned it down each time stating "I am innocent!" Let it also be known, that after his 3rd trial, the trial that finally got a verdict, it was overheard that several jurors questioned "Why wasn't he found with blood on him?" "She was beat, so why didn't any close ups of this man at the time of his arrest show any bruising, wounds ?". Then years later, it was found out that there was a statistician among the jurors who had convinced all the jurors of this man's guilt by "running the numbers."

Read on:

I wish to tell you a true story of the cover up by federal officials and prosecutors of evidence, an illegal search and seizure, conveniently destroyed evidence precluding DNA exoneration, and eliminating certain government witnesses. These facts are supported by:

Victim photos/crime scene photos
Crime scene investigation notes
Trial transcripts
FBI Reports
Forensic Reports
Tape Recordings of investigation

The actions of federal officials are no different than those committed by the prosecutor in the Duke University Case.

The case that I am about to tell you reflects not a pursuit for justice- but a sating of career ambitions and appeasement of the Mexican Government. It will also tell how not one but two suspects were investigated. One suspect, Michael Kennedy, my husband of 2 years, was employed by the Federal Protective Services in San Diego, California. His job was akin to local police officers duties except on a federal level. Michael has no history of sexual mis-conduct, no history of violence and was living with his parents at the time. His only crime was that he smoked “Kool” brand cigarettes. The other suspect, R.B., who was also a federal protective officer. He had applied for a US customs position that Michael had ultimately received. R.B. had a history of sexually abusive behavior, pornography, and a history of violence and disciplined for making sexual remarks to children. R.B. also had a brown belt in Karate-strangulation could have been caused by a karate chop to the throat- and a former motorcycle gang member. Two witnesses were not allowed to testify. One was R.B.’s girlfriend who was going to testify about his tendency to violence behavior and his sexually abusive behavior. The other one was a female colleague who was going to testify that R.B. had asked her out, when she denied, he stated: “You think you’re going to end up like the other one? You are as dumb as she was!” To a woman, this is threat. It signifies that he may have asked Maria for sexual favors, and when she turned him down, he proceeded to take those favors by force. Interestingly still, despite R.B.’s history, and the fact that he was “O” positive blood type, the investigation on him did not continue as 1) he did not smoke 2) he was a secretor.

On Friday Nov. 23, 1979, Josephine Felix, a resident of Corcoran, California, drove to Tijuana, Mexico, for the purpose of smuggling her sister-in-law, Maria Lopez deFelix, into the United States. Maria was in the trunk of her car and at the Port of Entry in San Ysidro. A customs inspector discovered Maria and turned the two women over to the Immigration Officer for questioning. Both were photographed, and put into separate cells. Around 1:30 a.m. on November 24. Maria was released. She was pointed toward a set of double doors behind which a corridor would take her back to Mexico. Passing through the double doors, Maria encountered Michael Kennedy, who was just returning from the cafeteria. As Maria appeared lost, and Kennedy not knowing any Spanish at the time, he escorted her over to Customs Inspector Clooney, who directed her towards the corridor to Mexico.

On Monday, November 26, 1979, around 10:00 a.m., some thirty three hours after Maria was ordered back to Mexico, she was found murdered in an alleyway behind the Old Customs Building at the Port of Entry. She appeared to have been beaten, raped and strangled. Investigation disclosed that she had been murdered in the Old Customs Building. In the surrounding area, investigators found pieces of Maria’s gold chain, a torn tassel from her shawl, a slip of paper containing the address of Maria’s aunt, and Maria’s gold-plated religious medallion. Her shoes and purse were found hidden in the toilet tank of one of the adjoining cells. Investigators also came across several “Kool” brand cigarette butts and pieces of masking tape.
Michael Kennedy became a suspect because he was one of only two people on duty that night that had possessed a key to the pad-locked gate to the area that the murder occurred, and because he smoked “Kool” brand cigarettes. Michael was scheduled to work from 12 midnight on Saturday Nov. 24 to 8 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 25, 1979. He routinely walked as part of his patrol the area where the murder had occurred. After his first 2 trials ended in hung juries, Michael was convicted at a third trial of the rape and murder of Maria Lopez deFelix and sentenced to 2 life sentences. (Thank God Coffin did not get the other he demanded: Castration!)

Time of death is crucial to the guilt or innocence of Michael Kennedy as Maria was found on Nov.26, 1979 at 10 a.m. Dr. Thomas Naguchi, an expert witness for the defense and Chief Medical Examiner for L.A. County, testified that the victim died 4-6 hours before she was found. The key here is that the close ups of the victim’s face were not released as evidence at any of Michael’s trials to substantiate Dr. Naguchi’s testimony. The victim did not have any fly larvae deposited in her eyelids at the time her body was discovered. Per Dr.Naguchi, fly larvae would have been deposited in the victim’s eye lids 4-6 hours after death. Counting back the hours, Michael was not at work when her death occurred. For the prosecution, Dr. Luibel, Chief medical examiner of San Diego County, placed time of Death 24-36 hours before she was found. Thus, the with-holding of the victim’s close ups of her face was necessary by the prosecution to get a conviction.

Another example is the removal of former FBI Special Agent Frederick Wallace after his testimony as an expert witness as a hair identification expert for the government. Agent Wallace’s testimony was contrary to the government’s case. He testified at Michael’s first trial that the four or so hair strands found at the crime scene did not match Michael’s hair. Special Agent Wallace was unavailable to testify at Michael’s 2nd and 3rd trials due to “medical” problems. Another FBI hair expert was consulted who testified that they could have been Michael’s hair.

The other evidence that was submitted was the result of an illegal search and seizure. This is just further demonstrated to the lengths that federal officials were willing to go to obtain a conviction. The search warrant was never executed. Rather, FBI agents Jerry L. Barnett, Kenneth A. Vardell, and James M. Bird, told Michael’s parents, that they had a warrant and would need to search the house. During this search, they seized one uniform jacket, uniform pants, uniform shirts, shoes, pocket knife and a roll of masking tape.

Other evidence not released during trial:
2 separate FBI investigative reports placing time of death 8-10 hours before body was found
An investigative page from Special Agent Kenneth Vardell that reflected:
Blood grouping analysis of a bloody tissue at the crime scene was “O” positive
Blood grouping analysis of the victim was Type “A” positive
Blood grouping analysis of Michael Kennedy was Type “A” positive.

Information on the testing done for secretor/non-secretor (a secreter secretes his blood type in his semen, a non-secretor does not). It was found that since the victim had not bathed nor changed her panties for more than 24 hours, that would result in the natural build up of bacteria. Couple that with the build up from the urine that was excreted at the time of death, destroys the ability to identify a secretor from a non-secretor. Further note that all possible body fluids were accidentally destroyed by other evidence collection processes and could not be used later for DNA testing as it was unavailable in 1979.

I need to also point out, that during his investigation and trials, the Federal Officials investigated Michael with the rape and murder of Ramona Hernandez in San Diego. They seized his car and demolished it while searching for evidence. They found blood, which turned out to be canine. The previous owner of the car when questioned stated that her dog had been hurt and bleeding and she used her car to transport the dog to the vet. Several witnesses’ testimonies and time of death made it clearly evident that Michael did not commit that crime. That murderer, too, has never been found, as once again, the federal officials spent so much time and energy in trying to also convict my husband of it.

For years after his conviction, my husband continues to claim his innocence and continues to fight for justice. All of his appeals go unheard. The most recent denial: Judge Larry Adam Burns, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of California, issued an order barring the filing of any document related to the criminal conviction of Michael Edward Kennedy, to preclude any inquiry into the actions of his former colleague and long time friend- Thomas M. Coffin, now a federal judge in Oregon. Coffin was the prosecutor, along with FBI Special Agents Barnett, Vardell, and Bird, did not notify the court that the items involved in the search and seizure were obtained illegally without the execution of a search warrant.

My husband has been very cooperative: underwent 4 polygraphs, submitted his blood for the national DNA data base and never once has violated the conditions of his parole. He was released in 2000 after serving 20 years in Federal Prisons all around the United States. Federal Prisons transfer their prisoners every 2-5 years to another prison. He continued to go to his psychological counseling that was ordered by his parole officer since 2000 in the Sexual Offender Program. Normally, the counseling is only for 2 years, but the PO, in his attempts to break Michael down, forced him to go 2 x month. (The counseling is currently suspended as Eastern Shore Psychological Services refuse to see Michael since he is suing them) Every parole hearing, he has attempted to be taken off supervised parole. The last one he was turned down was in Dec. 2008. Their reasoning being:

1. He is currently appealing his sex registration. (Under Maryland law he is not required to register as his conviction was prior to 1997.)
2. He has not been currently employed for 3 years. (He was laid off from work in Aug. 07 and began a new employment in July 2008)
3. He has not been at his residence for 3 years. (This is an error. He has had the same residence for 5 years)

I hope when you read this, you will want to see justice done as much as we do. To think that these federal officials are still out there and could be possibly repeating the same cover-ups is an injustice to everyone. Of course, we know they are, as we read in the news just a couple of weeks about the man who was released after serving 21 years for a rape/murder that he did not commit. Not only are they out there repeating the same cover ups but they are profitting from getting difficult convictions. Isn't that true Judge?

New Rental Ordinance Proposed For Sex Offenders

They can't get a residency law passed for sex offenders in Delaware so now one town is proposing an ordinance that prevents landlords from renting to a sex offender if the house/apartment is within so many feet of a school, daycare etc.! In addition, they have to alert everyone within 500 feet of the rental, that a sex offender is living there. In Laurel, DE the town is trying to make this a law. Talk about ridiculous!! When will it stop? All this law will accomplish is landlords will not rent to any sex offenders because they do not want the hassle of alerting everyone within 500 feet of the rental. Nor do they want to deal with the huge number of complaints they would get from these residents once they are told that a sex offender lives within 500 feet of their home. We all know what happens then...many more sex offenders will become homeless. These "feel good" laws that these stupid politicians are trying to get passed is just them trying to make themselves popular and to gain votes. This is never going to end until every sex offender and their families and friends decide to come forward with a petition or publicly express their concerns. Right now because of the fear of vigilantism, retaliation from parole officers, law enforcement and the like, many stay quiet and just take what ever is handed to them. Our numbers are strong and then add in wives, girlfriends, mothers, other family members and friends, we would be a force to reckon with. Together, we could make changes.

America prides itself on its education, its Constitution, and its freedom. Yet the very people who are voted in to uphold the American way are working tediously to deny these things to a small group of people. When you consider other criminals, such as drug dealers, who do not become a scum of the earth, nor are they denied all rights, but yet, they have one of the highest recidivism rates. They, too, cause long lasting harm to the children. Giving away candy laced with drugs just to get the children addicted, then forcing them to buy it after they are addicted. So, to get this wonderful candy, the children turn to stealing. Many will grow up still addicted, doing anything for their next high. Talk about education. No one in legislature is interested in educating the public on the facts. They would rather use fear tactics, lie about the facts, and shine with proposing "feel good" laws that do nothing to protect but do everything to make matters worse.

To be quite honest, I'm ashamed of what America has become. Government goes out of its way to do everything in its power to encourage non-Americans to come live in America. Reduced mortgage rates, tax free purchases of homes and businesses. Haven't you ever wondered why so many foreigners are buying up all the Mom and Pop markets? Reduced to zero mortgage rates for 7 years. So after 7 years, they sell the business to an Aunt, Uncle, or cousin. They do this for non-Americans and then they think they can strip all rights away from sex offenders.

My husband's lawyer once told him, "You do not have the same rights that a John Doe off the street has." He was being nice. My husband, just like all other sex offenders, does not have any rights. He can never be the victim. If he were beaten on the street, just for being a sex offender, law enforcement officials would find some way to blame him for being beaten. When my husband went to register as a sex offender, I went with him. I was worried about vigilantism. So I asked the deputy about it. He told me that they were very tough on vigilantism and all I would have to do is call "911" and they would be there in a flash. I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing. Did I really believe that anyone from the sheriff's dept or from the state police's dept would "come running" when a sex offender's address pops up on a "911" call? HELL!! NO!!!!! But I am concerned if we need to call "911" for a medical emergency. How slow would they respond? I'm so glad I am a nurse, even though I can't work because of my back pain, I still know enough to keep someone alive until help arrived, even if they did do a slow crawl.

I guess I am done venting. When I read that article on the computer on WBOC's website, I just had to write my thoughts. Every so often, things build up, to keep from exploding....I blog. Laugh if you will. But until you try it...you don't know what your missing. You can write for anyone to read, remain as anonymous as you want. It feels empowering when someone comments, even when it is negative, because someone actually reads what you write. I am really moved by many of the comments I get from those who are suffering just as we are. It helps to know that we are not the only ones though some days, it sure does feel like it.

The Maintenance Polygraph

On Aug. 13, 2009, my husband had his maintenance polygraph. He said that although it was not videoed, he believes it was taped, though he was not apprised of the fact. Thank God this man who gave my husband the test was not an Ass Hole like his previous one. He did not get bent out of shape when my husband refused to sign the documents stating that he released them from anything nor did he sign the document stating he was undergoing this polygraph willingly. This polygrapher did prepare my husband for the test as per protocol, unlike the first guy. The questions were: 1) Have you lied to anyone who trusts you? 2) Have you lied to anyone in the position of authority? 3) Have you engaged in any unwanted sex since your release? 4) Have you ever had any sexual activity that you would be embarrassed of it became known? 5) Have you lied to me when you stated that you would be honest with me when you answered the questions? 6)Have you done anything to violate the conditions of your parole? We are positive that his PO is going to be livid about the questions asked. Why? Because none of them were about the Walmart incident, or about any of the things his PO is trying to pin on him. (If you recall, his PO is trying to put my husband behind bars...he told me so when the PO first met me during his 45 minute rant, trying to get me to NOT marry my husband.) Although my husband was not happy with having to take the polygraph....he was happy with the way the polygrapher conducted himself and the test. (The polygrapher even gave my husband a cough drop when my husband had a coughing spell courtesy of his severe bout with bronchitis) Now, we are hoping that the polygrapher continues to be professional and not lie about the results of the exam. My husband and I are positive that his PO had quite a long talk with the polygrapher before we got there. (Yes, I did go with my husband as I always do to offer support and my love.) We are sure that during the PO's conversation with the polygrapher that he mentioned how manipulative my husband is(that's the PO's opinion. My husband is not manipulative...just fighting for his rights and for justice) and he wants my husband back in jail. We are also positive that if this polygrapher doesn't, that his PO will schedule him for another polygraph with a different polygrapher A.S.A.P. If that's the case, the P.O.'s supervisor is going to get a call from me. At present, my husband is preparing some kind of legal document that includes the polygraph. (He does so much legal work: appeals, habeases, etc. that it's hard for me to remember which is which. LOL.) I don't know if I have ever mentioned it, but my husband used his 20 years in prison to study federal law. He is quite capable of litigating his own cases.

Needless to say, I have not heard back from the PO's supervisor after I talked to him about the conduct of this PO towards me (the inappropriate remarks, verbally forcing me to leave the preparation of dinner to sit down with my husband and listen to his BS...the dinner ( shrimp) I had to throw away because it had sat out for 30-45 minutes, uncovered while the PO stood over it....yuk!!!). I really didn't expect any response. While researching the job descriptions of Parole Officers, I found (not surprising to me) that his PO does not do most of the things he is supposed to do. Such as supporting and aiding his parolees to finding resources and employment to help them improve their lives. All he does is harass my husband, lie about things and to do anything he can do to get my husband back in prison. I still wonder how he can monitor his other parolees since he is sooooooooooo obsessed with my husband.

Oh well............This is my life, Wife of a sex offender, and though I wish things could be different, I love my husband and will always be by my husband's side. So this is our life....and we are living it the best way we know how. His parole officer, the conditions of his parole, the having to be registered....none of that nor anything else will make me walk away from my husband and our life together.

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading my blog!!! I hope my blog helps other's out there in the same position. I know I have connected with alot of people through my blog. Like I've told them and this goes for anyone...Keep in touch and if you ever need to just vent...I'm here for you!!!!

The Injustice of it all

My husband's so called maintenance polygraph is scheduled for later this month. It will focus on crimes he may have or may not have committed while on parole. It was not court ordered, nor ordered by the parole commission, but was ordered by his obsessed P.O. My husband, who must live his life under a conviction for a crime he did not commit, has been the perfect parolee. He has never broken any laws, he is married and we have a happy marriage, he has been at the same residence for 5 years, and he is employed. But because he dared to argue that under Maryland law he was not required to register as a sex offender (his conviction was in 1979), his PO is out to throw him back in prison. Thus, the polygraph. One deep breath, one skipped heart beat or even one twitch and he is back in prison for failing his polygraph. It doesn't matter that polygraphs are not admissible in court.....the parole commission runs by their own laws. His last polygraph was rigged. My husband was asked a series of questions but when the results were released, the questions were out of order than the way they were asked during the polygraph. (We did ask that this polygraph be taped or videoed and were told that they would try. Which tells me that it won't be!) He did not return to prison, but was continued on supervised parole. (He was told prior to his first polygraph that if he did not answer any or all of the questions but pleaded the 5th, that his parole would be revoked and he would go back to prison!) This polygraph is supposed to be only 5 questions. His lawyer is unable to get any answers as to what those questions might be. The PO nor his supervisor state they have no idea. LIARS!!!!! I use to believe in justice, the government and the law. If there is justice, why was my husband convicted of a crime he didn't commit because FBI agents were allowed to get away with an illegal search and seizure and with holding of evidence? Why won't any court re-open his case when the evidence and facts(including crime scene photos and investgation notes) are presented to them during my husband's appeals? (To re-open the case would mean that if found innocent....every case these 3 FBI agents and this judge have been involved in for the last 30 years would come into question. So it is easier to allow one innocent man to suffer. This is injustice!) Why does the government allow the Parole Commission and the Parole Officers to follow their own laws? (Seems they make up new laws whenever it suits their cause) Why are there such draconian laws that focus on only one type of criminal? ( Sex offenders have the lowest percentage rate of recidivism. ) Why are all sex offenders grouped together under the label of pedophile? Talk about injustice!!!!!!

Once they get away with doing this polygraph, they can demand a new one every 6 months. Who or what will be next.? If it can happen to him....it will happen to every sex offender that is registered. What will they demand next and label it as part of his condition of his parole? It wouldn't surprise me at all if they try to tell him that its against the conditions of his parole to even be married!!!! After all, his PO doesn't like me. I dared to ignore his lecture when he tried to dissuade me from marrying my husband.

I use to be an optimist. No longer!!! It doesn't matter what a person does or doesn't do........or how well a person tries to follow the rules or how "good" a person is..............none of that matters. (I'm still trying to hold onto my FAITH and I still believe it will matter when you are no longer among the living) But while you are still among the living.........once an injustice, always an injustice. Its like he's the scapegoat. Someone got away with doing an injustice to him once...so now everyone is kicking him while he's down. He did have a great Parole Officer once. I think she was promoted so now he's stuck with the obsessed one...the PO with a major attitude problem.....the PO who thinks he is GOD himself. I don't know why his supervisor is standing behind him. Nothing was done about my complaints about his inappropriate behavior. Nor do I expect anything will ever be done!

I just know that unless we ( wives, mothers, daughters, friends of sex offenders and sex offenders themselves) all act as one, we all brave the public eye and stand up for the rights of sex offenders.....these injustices will continue. Politicians will continue to pass these draconian laws because it makes some "feel good". The parole commission, the parole officers, even those who up hold the law will continue to do injustice to our loved ones. And in doing so...... neither they nor us will ever be able to live our lives to the fullest! We will never be able to say that America is a land of the free.......we will never be free unless changes are made.

Thank you for reading my blog and allowing me to vent. Life is just so unfair but we need to act as one.......so that all may be able to live!

Maintenance Polygraph scheduled

If you've been reading my blog, you know that my husband's PO came up with this unknown monster called a "maintenance polygraph". Well, my husband's is scheduled in August. I can also tell you that my husband is not taking this sitting down. Like I've said many of times, my husband is self taught in federal law. He has gotten several compliments from judges and even other lawyers on the legal briefs etc., that he has submitted. So yes, he has sent in another legal paper. I swear, he is being kept busy with enough legal work for the next year and mostly its all because of his PO. I must say, compared to almost two years ago, I have learned a lot on Federal law and legal language. Ha! Jokingly, I'm sure, I was offered a job in the Federal defender's office if I ever went to law school and passed the bar! Wouldn't that be something. I would honestly consider it if I had the money to go back to school for 8+ years. Oh well, another item to list on my "fantasy wish list"!

Normally, I don't answer any questions that are posted on other websites but one caught my eye this morning. One woman wanted to know if anyone would start a relationship with a RSO. She was being advised to stay away by more than one person. So you know me, I had to put my 2 cents worth in. I have never ever regretted marrying my husband. Since you are reading this, hopefully you know my story. My husband and I will be married 2 years August 18th. I met him Oct. 2006 and on our second date he told me about his past. He was released from prison Jan. 2000 after spending 20years in Federal prison. As you know, his past did not matter to me. It was the man he is now that I was seeing and fell in love with. Along with the BS we have to put up with from his PO and other issues, it is amazing to see him adjusting to life outside of prison. There is nothing he takes for granted......like taking a walk outside just to see the wonders of nature and breathe in the air. For so long he had never experienced that feeling. And yes, I still cry sometimes when he tells me his stories of when he was in prison. I will repeat: I HAVE NEVER EVER REGRETTED MARRYING HIM!!!!!

I invited this woman to read my blog as I have been openly honest about my feelings and what goes on in the life of a wife of a RSO.

Sex Offender's last session with therapist he is suing

Last night was my husband's last session with the therapist he is suing. What will happen now? We do not know. The parole commission never made long term sex offender therapy (he's been in it for 9 years!) a requirement of his parole but left it up to his P.O. (I'm sure if you've been following my blogs you definitely know how I feel about him. I swear, I don't know how he does his job since he's so obsessed with my husband! Did I tell you that his obsession began when my husband questioned his order to register as a sex offender? ((My husband was convicted in 1979 and Maryland law does not have the ability to register him)) When my husband had his first P.O.((and she was no pushover, she told him one false move and his ass would be back in jail)) he never had to file one legal paper but ever since this one has taken over.....well, let's just say, a lot of trees are being used to fight for his civil rights!) When his P.O. and his supervisor came to visit in what we'd like to call the "retaliation visit", there was a lengthy discussion of his requirement to be in long term therapy. His P.O. is trying to say that the parole commission ordered it. His therapy is being suspended for a little while until an alternative can be found. Then there is the "maintenance polygraph" that seems to be a monster that no one has heard of! During his last session, his therapist wanted to know why he's suing her. Ha! Like she doesn't have a clue! She told my husband that she's worried about his stress level. I bet! My husband said he handled stress just fine during his 20 years in Fed. Prison.....everything since then has been a piece of cake.

I'm curious: Is there any sex offenders out there who have been ordered to have long term therapy? If so...please contact me. Also...if you have been ordered for long term therapy, have you asked for copies of your medical records?

As for me, I'm hanging in there! Started on a new medication that has several side effects that are extremely unpleasant but I've been told the side effects only last about 10 days. So far, the new medicine seems to be helping with my pain. My pain is still there but now it's about a 5 on a scale of 0-10 when before it was an 8.( 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain you have ever felt and requires going to the ER)

I'm very supportive of my husband. Helping him with anything I can. He's been through so much. Spending 20 years in prison for a crime he did not commit ( Don't bother sending a negative comment on this, I've heard it all before. Those of you who write those negative comments should hold them if you don't know the facts! I've read the court transcripts, the FBI reports and have seen every one of the crime scene photos. He was a scape goat in a political war between California and Mexico), then he has to be stuck with an A** hole of a parole officer who is trying to put him back in prison and even has gone so far as to get some of his friends in law enforcement to lie and make false claims( Such as the one police officer who had his wife say that she was being stalked by my husband. Come to find out, my husband was working as a cashier on one of the days she claimed he was stalking her in the store and the other day he was supposed to be stalking her in the store, he was off and no where near the store.) We also found out that his PO and this police officer knew each other. IMAGINE THAT! How much more must my husband endure before he gets even a wee bit of justice? The only ray of light on the horizon is that his PO retires in less than 5 years but how much more BS do we have to put up with until he does? Do Parole officers have a code of conduct that they have to adhere to when it comes to their parolees and their families?

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Let me know if anyone has any info on anything I have written! Thanks!

Sex offender's spouse harassed!!!

In my last blog, I told you about the sex offender who is suing his therapist and was facing retaliation by the Feds. In this blog, I'm going to tell you the story of the sex offender's wife( the same sex offender who is suing his therapist) who was harassed by his parole officer... a Fed with a major attitude problem!!! (Big surprise there!!!) Any way, when the 2 Feds came to came to the RSO's house, one of the Feds was a supervisor. The wife of the RSO asked to speak to the super privately as she had never met the past supervisors and could not file an informal complaint. The harassment complaints were as follows: 1) when she and the RSO were engaged, the PO came to the house when she was alone (or was she?) and proceeded to tell her in great detail the facts about the crime her fiance was convicted for. He then explained to her what life with a parolee would be like...the unannounced visits, the conditions of parole, etc. He also stated that this RSO would never get off supervised parole and would be going back to prison. He kept stating the same things over and over again for 45 minutes even though the wife said she knew all about it, didn't care because she loved this man and everyone deserves a second chance. She also stated that she could live with the unannounced visits and the restrictions of the conditions of his parole. Nothing swayed him....he continued to argue and preach until about 30 mins before her fiance was due home from work. 2) During one unannounced visit, the wife was preparing 2 pounds of shrimp to make shrimp Alfredo. The shrimp were already peeled and de-veined so all she was doing was pulling the tails off. The PO came and demanded she stop immediately and sit down. Let me give you the picture, her kitchen is a very small galley kitchen. She was at the stove doing the preparation as there is no counter space. Her husband was sitting at the table directly behind her. The PO was standing immediately to her left, between her and the door. There were no knives or other weapons close by. No water had been boiled. Anyway, she was forced to leave the shrimp unattended for 30-45 minutes. After she sat at the table with her husband, the PO went and leaned against the stove, directly over the shrimp, stomping his feet when he wanted to make a point. After he left, she had to throw the shrimp away. Why? It had been out for 30-45 minutes and she had concerns about it being out too long plus he had been standing directly over them, stomping his feet and she didn't know what had might have fallen off him into the shrimp. After all, he had made other visits prior to visiting them. YUK!!!!! 3) The PO often makes comments on the color of her hair or the darkness of her skin So, she had told the super of her issues. He didn't comment on 2 of the issues but did state that the reason she was told to sit was for the safety of the PO. Well, if that was the case, he could have been more polite and allowed her to put the shrimp in the refrig. But no!! He treated her like she was his parolee and was very rude!!! The only other comment that the super said was...if this really happened. So he doesn't believe her!!! Guess he will if she decides to file a complaint with the office of professionalism and brings a witness with her. She knows why the PO was making those comments to her and often enters her personal space when he catches her home alone (you know the personal space is that space between you and another person that you feel comfortable) is to try and make her husband mad and hopes he tries to do or say something so he can violate him. After all, the RSO and his wife were told personally by local law enforcement when he went to register that the PO had called them demanding anything they could get on the RSO so he could put his ass back in jail. Just another day in the life of the wife of a sex offender!!! So exciting!!! My life is far from boring. One challenge after another!!! I'll keep you posted!!
