Question:

Leonardo accused of plots to kill 2 Papers say disbarred lawyer deeper into crime than he admits. Gary Craig Staff writer (January 8, 2005) – Former defense lawyer Anthony Leonardo Jr., now imprisoned, plotted to murder two business partners, federal prosecutors allege in court papers filed Friday. Leonardo has admitted that he twice schemed to have one business partner, Anthony Vaccaro, murdered. But the court papers allege that Leonardo also planned to have another business partner, David Cashion, killed. Leonardo, Vaccaro and Cashion were partners in a Charlotte nightclub, Club Titanic, that opened in 1999. Vaccaro was murdered in a gangland-style shooting in May 2000, and Leonardo was arrested in December 2000 on cocaine-trafficking charges. The Vaccaro homicide sparked an investigation into Leonardo’s activities. As it turned out, Leonardo had used $100,000 from Albert M. Ranieri, who robbed an armored car in 1990 of nearly $11 million, to open Club Titanic. The investigation led to a guilty plea in 2001 from Leonardo, who admitted to conspiracies to kill Vaccaro, to traffic cocaine and to launder money. In 2002, Ranieri pleaded guilty to racketeering crimes, including the Vaccaro slaying and the armored car robbery. Ranieri is now serving 30 years in prison. Last month, Leonardo, 57, challenged his plea agreement, alleging that he was entrapped by federal authorities into committing crimes. Leonardo’s former lawyer, John Speranza, has withdrawn from the case. Leonardo, although disbarred, is scheduled to be in federal court next Friday to argue his motion to void his plea. In advance of that hearing, prosecutors on Friday filed a 156-page response attacking Leonardo’s charges and claiming that he was far more involved with crime than he admitted. On March 28, 2000, Leonardo and Ranieri went to Cashion’s home where "Ranieri intended to attempt to lure Vaccaro,” the court papers allege. Ranieri planned to kill both Vaccaro and Cashion, the papers say. The court papers do not say why the plot failed. Asked about the allegation, Ranieri’s lawyer, Michael Tallon, said Friday, "The bottom line is, it’s true." Leonardo was integral to the planning, Tallon said. "This was a jointly undertaken activity." Cashion refused Friday to comment about the allegation. The court papers filed Friday also claim Leonardo was more active in plans to kill Vaccaro than he has admitted to. (Leonardo was not involved in the actual slaying, but has admitted to planning with Ranieri two failed attempts on Vaccaro’s life.) According to court papers, Leonardo is caught on an undercover tape talking about plans to kill Vaccaro: "Twenty times I was involved in it, and it didn’t go down." In another surreptitiously taped conversation, he says, "So many times we planned this thing. It just never (expletive) worked. And finally it finally worked." Under his plea agreement, Leonardo expected to receive 12 years in prison. (He has served four.) Prosecutors agreed that his assistance helped force Ranieri into admission of his crimes. Now that Leonardo is challenging the plea pact, however, prosecutors are asking that Leonardo instead be sentenced to 16 to 20 years, the maximum under the plea agreement. "The government maintains that the original sentence agreed upon is the appropriate sentence and declines to move a freckle below that," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Wydysh. Leonardo, who is now in the Niagara County Jail, alleges that prosecutors illegally withheld undercover tapes that would have revealed he was at first unwilling to commit crimes. Leonardo was hard up for cash, he claimed in court papers, and authorities took advantage of his dire financial situation by having an informant entice him with money-making schemes. In his response, Wydysh wrote that the government did not know that Leonardo was, as he claims, "broke." "Leonardo lived in a mansion, drove a Mercedes-Benz, bragged about paying $2,000 for his suits," the court papers say. During the investigation, "the belief then, as it is now, is that Leonardo acted out of extreme greed," the court papers state. One of Leonardo’s former legal partners, Bruce Freeman, said he doubted Leonardo would challenge his plea without some legal footing. "I would be confident that there would be grounds that are supported by what he’s found in his research," Freeman said. "He’s a very good lawyer. If he has found legal grounds to make this motion, he’ll argue with that well."

Raid likely saved Leonardo associate’s life Gary Craig Staff writer (January 8, 2005) – Little did David Cashion know when State Police raided his home in March 2000 that they may have saved his life. State Police wouldn’t have known, either. Cashion was one of a number of targets in a multistate probe into illegal sports gambling. He also was a business partner with defense lawyer Anthony Leonardo Jr. and pool hall owner Anthony Vaccaro; the three owned a Charlotte nightclub, Club Titanic. In court papers filed Friday, federal prosecutors allege that Leonardo and Albert M. Ranieri went to Cashion’s home on March 28, 2000, with plans to lure Vaccaro there and kill Cashion and Vaccaro. But there was no murder that night. The court papers do not say why authorities think the plan failed. But other court papers – state search warrants obtained previously by the Democrat and Chronicle – show that anyone who went to Cashion’s city home the night of March 28 would have run into the State Police. On that night, state and local police raided homes and businesses, including Vaccaro’s pool halls, across the region. They suspected that Cashion, Vaccaro and others were knee-deep in a multimillion-dollar illegal betting ring. Investigators attributed 821 illegal bets totaling $573,447 to Cashion and a roommate from Jan. 14, 2000, to March 21, 2000. Court records do not show criminal charges against Cashion, but do show he forfeited money to the federal government after his home was raided. Cashion would not comment Friday.

http://www.lex18.com/Global/story.asp?S=2769277&nav=EQlpUrMz COVERING KENTUCKY Mother Thinks Daughter Was Slain In Satanic Ritual The mother of a slain teenage girl from Ashland says her daughter may have been the victim of a satanic ritual. Police say Amanda Maynard, 15, died after her neighbor, Kenneth Ray O’Neal, Jr., 19, broke in her home, stabbed and sexually assaulted her on New Year’s Day. An Ashland native, Maynard had moved with her mother to Garner, North Carolina last March. Garner Police say Maynard was home alone, when neighbors reported a disturbance at the home about 3 a.m. Saturday morning. Police say Maynard had been stabbed multiple times and sexually assaulted. An investigation led police to O’Neal. Maynard’s mother told a Raleigh newspaper that O’Neal had been listening to "satanic" music, referring to sexual acts involving a knife prior to the killing. The paper also reported O’Neal was a member of the area’s gothic community. Shortly before a Tuesday evening memorial service for Maynard at First Presbyterian Church of Garner, Maynard’s mother, Tammy Edrington, spoke publicly about her daughter’s death. Edrington said she and her daughter always tried to steer clear of O’Neal. "When we moved in, I looked across the street and I looked at her," she said. "I saw this man in this trench coat with these huge spikes and all this jewelry and this red, silky shirt on, and I said, ‘Please tell me he’s going to a Halloween party’ because it was the beginning of October. She said, ‘That’s spooky.’" On Tuesday, Edrington saw her daughter’s body for the first time since the slaying and said she didn’t recognize her. "It just makes me sick," she said. "He’s a coward. He thinks just because he confesses, we’re supposed to say, ‘OK.’" O’Neal does not have a prior criminal record. He’s being held without bond in the Wake County Jail. Maynard’s body was flown back to Kentucky for her funeral, which is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday at the Miller Funeral Home. ===== Rev.

FURY OVER LIVE TELLY EXORCISM Jan 4 2005 Church leaders blast Channel 4 ‘experiment’ By Nicola Methven CHURCH leaders angrily condemned Channel 4 last night over plans to broadcast a live exorcism. TV morality campaigners also slammed the idea, branding it harmful and dangerous. The programme, called Exorcism, will be shown next month. An insider said: ‘The aim is to test the science involved. ‘It would involve officials from the church and leading scientists and we would monitor precisely what happens during the process.’ Taste Sky TV are planning a separate show called When Exorcisms Go Wrong, featuring amateur videos of rites from around the world. Broadcasting watchdogs Ofcom say demonstrations of exorcisms and other ‘occult practices’ should not be shown on factual TV ‘except in the context of a legitimate investigation’. But a source said: ‘The producers will insist they should be allowed to broadcast the exorcism on the grounds that it’s a form of scientific experimentation and a legitimate part of church practice. ‘Whether the broadcasting authorities see it like that is another matter.’ A spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland branded the show ‘a ratings-grabbing attempt to push the boundaries of taste’. He said: ‘Each exorcism deals with very complex psychological, spiritual and emotional issues which cannot be easily monitored or measured. ‘To try to analyse some kind of scientific results would be a non-starter.’ Groups like Mediawatch, founded by the late Mary Whitehouse, claim shows about the paranormal can harm vulnerable viewers. They blame the BBC’s Ghostwatch, a spoof Halloween show 13 years ago, for driving a young viewer to suicide. John Beyer, Mediawatch director, said of the Channel 4 exorcism: ‘This sounds very dangerous and is likely to cause considerable unease. Getting ratings is all the broad- casters are bothered about.This is not only ill-advised, it could be harmful. ‘If Ghostwatch is anything to go by, vulnerable people do take notice. Surely someone killing themselves as a consequence of a TV programme should be enough to set a precedent.’ A spokesman for Channel 4 confirmed the exorcism programme was planned for later in the year. And a Sky One spokesman claimed their show would be ‘a thought-provoking exploration of a controversial subject’. ===== Rev.

Strange you should say that – I had a conversation with my brother recently about why my cordless phone wasn’t working, and he suggested putting on a diving suit and trying it out in the attic. I didn’t take his advice, mainly because I don’t have a diving suit not do I have an attic. But I did however buy a new telephone.

Rap Kid Rock inaugural pick BY MAKI BECKER DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Kid Rock Conservative Christians are flabbergasted about reports that raunchy rock-rapper Kid Rock will perform at a youth concert at the presidential inauguration. "What in the world are these people thinking?" asked Donald Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association in Tupelo, Miss. "This is the biggest slap in the face to the Christian conservatives." Kid Rock reportedly will perform at "America Rocks Today: A Call to Service," a multimedia concert. Bush’s daughter Barbara is the event’s co-managing director. But Kid Rock doesn’t exactly seem like her dad’s kind of guy. The almost-34-year-old Detroit bad boy is currently dating porn actress Jessie James, never goes anywhere without a pint of bourbon in his back pocket and rattles off X-rated lyrics that regularly earn his albums parental advisory warnings. At the same time, he’s a die-hard Republican and a big fan of Dubya. He put on a concert during last summer’s Republican convention at the Manhattan nightclub Avalon – which the Bush twins attended. But Kid Rock has a funny way of showing his support. In his 2001 song "You Never Met a Motherf—er Quite Like Me," he boasts, "I Met the President when I was half-stoned." And back in 1990 – when President Bush’s father was in the White House and his mother, Barbara, was First Lady – Kid Rock sang: "Pimp of the Nation, I could be it/ As a matter of fact, I forsee it/ But only pimpin hoes with the big tush/ While you be left pimpin Barbra Bush." "Boy," Wildmon admonished. "Where I come from, you talk about my mama like that, those are fightin’ words. Shooting words!" Inauguration planners seemed to be backpedaling yesterday about the event following a call from the Daily News. "Kid Rock has not been confirmed," insisted Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman from the Presidential Inaugural Committee. "But I can tell you Hilary Duff has been confirmed, as has JoJo." Schmitt added, "There’s no greater defender of family values than President Bush."

Response:

She wore an itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie yellow poke-a-dot bikini… Guess what? Hilary Duff is coming to the nearest metropolitan area to give a concert. The media wants me to show-up and will make me feel like a "heel" for not showing up. It would cost ME over $60 to attend. Seems to me, I couldn’t afford to go to the prom in high school either.

Rain brings down the roof at City Hall By Beth Barrett Staff Writer Friday, January 07, 2005 – With another major storm bearing down on Southern California, crews scrambled Thursday to fix leaks in the new $900,000 roof at Los Angeles City Hall, which recently underwent a $300 million seismic upgrade. This season’s record-breaking rainfall ran down uncapped pipes and vents and leaked through breaches between the roof and drain pipes, damaging five City Council offices on the fourth floor, as well as several rooms of the 24th floor of the tower. And the frigid storm system arriving today could dump up to six inches of rain downtown and 10 inches on hillsides already soaked by record-breaking wet weather, forecasters said. "Right now, we want to stop the water from getting into the building," said Dan Eason, director of building maintenance in the General Services Department. Councilman Dennis Zine, whose offices sustained the worst water damage, including a couple of two-foot-square ceiling tiles that crashed down on a staffer’s desk, said the leaks were unacceptable. "You spend over $300 million, and you’d expect it would be done properly," said Zine, who said he’ll introduce a motion to look at the quality of construction in city buildings, of which there are about 850 in L.A. "It’s supposed to be state of the art." Eason said the roof involved a new technology, saving energy by reflecting heat, and that some of the new innovations might have been responsible for the problems. He said the company, Best Roofing & Waterproofing Inc. of Gardena, is making the repairs under warranty. City officials said this was the first time the new roof has leaked. It was installed in 2002 after the $300 million seismic retrofit was completed, and it then was discovered that the 70-year-old roof had leaky tiles and other problems. Eason said because the roof is under warranty, the in-house repairing of the offices, capping of pipes and sealing up some access doors on the 24th floor are estimated at about $5,000. The leak in Zine’s office apparently came where a drain pipe wasn’t completely sealed into the roof, Eason said. Leaks in the other council offices appear to have come from old pipes and conduits that weren’t properly capped during the retrofit. Zine’s communications director, Jennifer Forkish, said water was dripping from the ceiling in her office Monday morning and that as she looked up, the tiles parted, then fell. "I felt like usually people use umbrellas outside, but I needed it inside not only for the water, but the falling debris," Forkish said. Four other fourth-floor council offices were affected. Antonio Villaraigosa’s chief of staff, Jimmy Blackman, said he left his desk briefly, only to return to a desk covered with soggy ceiling tiles. "My roof fell down, luckily not on my head," Blackman said. "They weren’t enough to have knocked me out." Sam Garrison, spokesman for Martin Ludlow, reported some dark water stains on his ceiling, but no major damage. Eason said while the council offices got most of the attention, the rains caused problems in structures elsewhere — though none major. "There are a lot of leaks throughout the city, but these are the only ones most people are concerned about," he said. "In reality, there are others that are much worse." There isn’t a cost estimate citywide yet, but all the repairs could take up to a couple of months. Today, up to 6 inches of rain is forecast for the valleys, with 5 inches to 10 inches of rain expected on mountain slopes before the storm moves out of the region early next week, said Bonnie Bartling, a weather specialist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. "It’s a pretty powerful rain producer," she said. "Because of the saturated ground, we really have to watch out for flooding." Flash-flood warnings are in effect for Los Angeles and Ventura counties, and forecasters warned of winter-storm conditions in Southern California mountains. Temperatures will be uncharacteristically frosty in the valleys today, with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s and lows dipping into the low 40s. Highs Saturday are expected to climb into the high 50s to low 60s. Up to 2 feet of snow is expected above 5,000 feet today. An additional foot to 2 feet of snow is forecast for Saturday, when the snow level will rise to 6,500 feet. A wind advisory is in effect for Los Angeles and Ventura counties, with winds of 25 mph to 40 mph and gusts up to 60 mph. Forecasters are divided over whether the coming wet weather consists of two separate storms or a single weather system with a break that will bring a short reprieve Saturday, Bartling said. The storm comes on the heels of an exceptionally wet weather system that has eased drought conditions and brought nearly four times the normal amount of rainfall. More than 14 inches of rain has fallen in Los Angeles since July 1, more than the city usually gets in an entire year. Staff Writer Andrea Cavanaugh contributed to this story.
