Persecución mortal (13/20) (Spanish Edition)

When Byrd balked at four billion and one, my uncle — usually red-faced with mirth and joviality — popped his cork. A bouncer got involved. My uncle soon found himself behind bars. He went on a hunger strike. Using his feces, he scrawled protest slogans on the wall. Charges would be held in abeyance if he got treatment.

He was, we were told, manicdepressive. In our household, mental illness was not recognized; it was just another variant of feeling sorry for yourself. My uncle checked himself in to what was said to be a nice place. On the way back from church service one Sunday, he jumped off a bridge.

In either case, he never got up. I say all this because four years ago Nick Holzer killed his entire family. He stabbed his father first with a kitchen knife, and then his two young sons in their beds. When his mother burst in, he killed her too. Finally, he killed the family dog. Much would be made of the dog in the trial that was to follow. The slaughter was so intimate and horrific that it defied even the most morbid curiosity. Even so, I spent the better part of six weeks covering the Holzer trial this summer.

Several times while sitting in the courtroom, I found myself wanting to hit Holzer upside his head. With up to 3 bedrooms and 1, square feet, these homes offer many resort-style amenities. Income and resale restrictions apply. Holzer had asked his father to kill him at least once, chewed broken glass in front of his sister, and grabbed her by the throat and attempted to strangle her. In blinking lights, he saw special messages meant just for him. Thursday, October 18, Lottery drawing will be conducted at a later date to be determined.

Victor Honma x VictorHonma hasbarco. Limited time offer subject to change without notice. Penalty for early withdrawal. Fees may reduce earnings. Offer cannot be combined with other promotions. It was never remotely a whodunit. In excruciatingly calm detail, Holzer told dispatchers exactly what he had done. Arrested without incident, he has since confessed numerous times.

Though his explanations have varied, his core story has never wavered. To atone for being the worst person in history, Holzer was compelled to become just that. If he killed his family, they would be saved from the eternal damnation to which he was already condemned. He stabbed his parents and children more than times. The first knife broke; he had to get another. The only question throughout the trial was whether Judge Brian Hill should find him insane as defined by California state law.

Contrary to popular misconceptions, the insanity defense is about the hardest trick in the legal playbook to pull off. Statistics show that it succeeds only one quarter of less than one percent of the time. The burden of proof falls on the defense, not on the prosecution. For six weeks, Voss and the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Ron Zonen, called competing psychologists, psychiatrists, and other expert headshrinkers to the witness stand.

Some were impressive, some self-important, and others either quacks or merely saying what they were paid to say. Another argued Holzer, who graduated with honors in history and geography at UCSB, had been rendered incapable of abstract thought because of a phantom blow to the head while still an infant. Holzer had been hospitalized three times since for acute psychiatric distress, twice involuntarily. On two occasions, he was found to be psychotically catatonic. On two occasions, he attempted suicide by cutting himself.

He had asked his father to kill him at least once, chewed broken glass in front of his sister, and grabbed her by the throat and attempted to strangle her. People were out to get him; neighbors, he was certain, were throwing dog poop into his yard. Even though highly accomplished and affluent, his parents discovered that finding a qualified mental-health specialist was a crapshoot.

The last psychiatrist they hired turned out to have been repeatedly disciplined for writing too many. On any given day, Judge Hill confronts criminal defendants whose mental competence to stand trial is in question. Those charged with felonies in this county usually get shipped off to two state psychiatric hospitals, Patton in San Bernardino County or Atascadero in San Luis Obispo County. With Holzer, however, he refused to write any prescriptions at all.

He testified he had hoped to talk Holzer out of his delusions. Like many people with serious mental-health issues, Holzer insisted he was fine. In fact, as Zonen pointed out during the trial, Holzer had managed to go nearly 10 years without medications or any obvious incidents. In this time, he got married, worked five years for Raytheon successfully, had two sons, divorced, and went through a protracted custody battle.

In , a court-ordered psychological expert gave Judge Thomas Anderle the green light to award Holzer sole custody of his two kids. But this picture was deceptive. Immediately upon filing for divorce in , Holzer moved back home with his parents, stopped working, spiraled downward, and got angrier and angrier. By the time Zonen and Voss concluded closing arguments, Hill was ready to rule, impatient almost. He ruled Holzer was not legally insane at the time of the crime. Holzer was profoundly mentally ill, the judge concluded, but he could still tell the difference between right and wrong.

With that decision, the law required Hill to impose four life sentences without possibility of parole — one lifetime for each life taken. There he would have stayed the rest of his days or until his sanity was restored, whichever came first. The last criminal defendant in Santa Barbara found not guilty by reason of insanity was David Attias, the UCSB student with a well-documented history of mental illness who, in , gunned his car down the densely populated streets of Isla Vista, killing four people.

As educated, after 10 years, a clinically restored affluent, and competent as they were, the Holzer family struggled — albeit intensely supervised — man. But for Zonen, the math four years ago when he killed remains unacceptable. Adams Law focuses on Advocating employee rights in claims involving: Once admitted, a patient typically gets evaluated after a month. Twenty-two percent are ISTs.

About 20 percent have been declared legally insane by a judge or jury, 13 percent are too sexually violent to be released, and 18 percent are too mentally disordered to be released. Today, 90 percent of patients in state hospitals are being held in connection with some criminal offense.

Thirty years ago, it was only 50 percent. At any given time, there are mental patients waiting to get admitted. The ISTs are the single largest group. But anecdotally, the situation in Santa Barbara has gotten notably worse. Five years ago, ISTs reportedly had to wait days to get transferred to state hospitals. The ISTs are in hospital until they have been restored. Last year, that took — on average — days.

Last year, Santa Barbara referred 55 patients — half of whom were homeless. Ten years ago, it was only October 1 - December 21, Day and Evening Classes and Saturdays Our method calls for small groups 6 maximum and conversation as soon as it is possible. Brent Fox, mentally ill enough to have been hospitalized three times in the past 13 years, had to wait days before the Department of State Hospitals found a bed for him. He had lost 40 pounds. Fox was finally moved to Atascadero a month ago. In these times, this was considered a major breakthrough.

His mother hardly recognizes her son anymore. The State of California is, in fact, suing the county because of the conditions under which some inmates with mental illness have been treated in county jail. The county has since hired a new contractor in the hopes that it will provide better psychiatric care for inmates.

On April 5, Fox had been acting out again, so his parents called fully expecting, as had happened before, specially trained mental-health crisis workers to arrive. In Santa Barbara County, only these workers are allowed to decide if a person requires involuntary hospitalization. In all other California counties, law enforcement officers can also determine if someone appears to be a threat to themselves or others — known in the parlance as a This is a custom of the county, not a legal decree.

As soon as Fox saw them, he grabbed an umbrella, jumped on a table, and challenged the officers to a fight. A former high school football player, Fox, at 34 years of age, was tall and muscular. In the melee, both Fox and an officer sustained minor injuries. Fox was tased multiple times, hauled off to jail, charged with multiple felonies, and held without bail. Only months later would a judge reduce those charges to misdemeanors.

The issues surrounding placing a loved one in a nursing home can tear a family apart: Santa Barbara has just 16 beds in its Psychiatric Health Facility. Multiple grand juries have complained. It suffuses almost every issue we as reporters write about. The courts, schools, hospitals, commerce, law enforcement, and whole families have been dragged into the growing morass that seems to be without solution.

Now that may be changing — slowly. Two weeks ago, Judge Brian Hill, a former criminal prosecutor, jumped into the fray. For the first time in county history, he found the Department of State Hospitals guilty of contempt for failing to find space for an IST. Santa Barbara County, he added, should have a standing contempt order against the DSH for any time it takes more than 60 days to find a hospital bed for a criminal defendant declared IST. Four other counties do. But beds are found faster in those counties.

In Santa Barbara, these gatherings got off to an uncertain start. But sometime last fall, for the first time, there were real numbers for how many county jail inmates had serious mentalhealth issues — it turned that on one particular day, it was 52 percent. This summer, a new state bill created a courtsupervised program to divert mentally ill individuals charged with crimes related to their mental illness into treatment. This year, the county supervisors. But now, in that low-ceilinged room, among bureaucrats and paper pushers, there was a gathering sense of real possibility.

A one-day snapshot of county jail inmates last October revealed 52 percent had serious mental-health issues. Nationally, the average is 17 percent. Sheriff Bill Brown began highlighting the success of what is known as the San Antonio model. Launched 16 years ago, it now entails a acre campus for people with mental illness, substance addictions, and dual diagnoses. Every imaginable service is provided. Over time, it snowballed. In Santa Barbara, we have 16 beds for acute psychiatric care.

The County of Santa Barbara has vast real estate holdings. It enjoys a great credit rating. No community on the planet has more nonprofits. Not every family has a Nicolas Holzer story. His parents had secured private insurance coverage for just this eventuality. It would have kept one seriously mentally ill man out of jail. And it would not have cost county taxpayers a cent.

Then we spotted the osprey majestically perched on one of the taller limestone tufas overlooking the glassy, shallow waters of Mono.

Kayak or stand-up paddleboard? Tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad? Food, water, down jacket, fleece pants, gloves, sunscreen, hat, and lip balm? These were just some of my essentials for full paddling immersion on Mono Lake. Except my friend also brought a kite. The saline lake just below the small town of Lee Vining — a half-day drive from Santa Barbara — is best explored by some sort of self-propelled watercraft.

That felt especially true when we saw a busload of tourists barreling down the dirt road with a huge plume of dust behind them. The biggest attraction is the knobby columns of limestone tufas found on the southerly lakeshore. Just expect to be grilled by someone at the front desk warning about high desert winds suddenly whipping across the lake. Then it occurred to me why my friend brought a kite. While tufas and too many migratory birds to count were to be expected, hot springs in the middle of the lake were not. One night we camped on the north side of Paoha Island.

Before that, we paddled to its south shore and noticed geothermal plumes spewing out of the volcanic rock. They were also bubbling up beneath the shallow shoreline. Some of the water was too hot to sit in, but we found a comfortable spot to float the afternoon away. To paddle Mono Lake, go to www. Now it is his turn to indulge in some oysters himself! Where do you get oysters? Needless to say, the night culminated in the ultimate celebratory oyster feast. A sharp tool and a bit of blunt force is required to free our food, which is then guzzled with a gourmand gusto that we reserve for only our most exalted delicacies.

If you twisted my arm to choose a sauce, the obvious answer would be your classic cocktail sauce. Grill both have great chances because I am sure they are both shucking hundreds of oysters each night. The real kicker in my opinion will be the person eating the oysters and if they can keep them down, shell and all. Your biggest oyster ever?

This thing was close to 6 inches long by 3 inches wide and ate more like a steak after being shucked. I watched a 9-year-old boy casually crush one just moments before me and thought nothing of it. Halfway through the oyster, the gag reflex started to kick in, as I think I was too scared to take smaller bites. The best part was there were two girls watching me try and make it through this initiation — one ran out of the tent holding her mouth; the other puked in a close-by trash can.

It was super funny and transferred the attention, as that almost was me. After 31 years working as the general Santa Barbara meets the South.

This is the question that animates Rendezvous with Oblivion: In the tradition of Mark Twain and H. Mencken, Frank is an astute, acerbic, witty, wry observer of American political history, and in Rendezvous with Oblivion, a series of interlocking essays written between and , he directs a withering gaze on the fast-food industry, suburban McMansions, hipster cities, higher education, and his favorite target, the Democratic Party. In the years spanned in these essays, the Democratic Party went from controlling the White House and both houses of Congress to controlling almost no aspect of the American political system, victim of a populist backlash fueled by economic anxiety, social grievance, and its own stunning ineptitude.

As Frank has documented in his previous books, and revisits in these essays, the Democratic Party is suffering the electoral consequences of its decision 40 years ago to turn away from the working class and toward the credentialed professional class. This is a tall order for sure, but as Frank puts it, history is calling. His mom and dad live in fear, too — of a changing Detroit, of their neighborhood becoming less white.

Beautiful Music is a novel that lingers. In her reimagining of the Arabian Nights folktales, Ahdieh deftly constructs a saga of magic and mystery.

What Makes Us Curious, Mario Livio, astrophysicist and author of numerous books, directs his own polymathic curiosity at curiosity. The result is a gem of a book. In interviews with and studies of creative people such as Richard Feynman, Brian May, Leonardo da Vinci, and Fabiola Gianotti, to name a few, Livio traces curiosity across a wide spectrum of disciplines, showing the varied forms inquisitiveness takes and how the appetite for knowledge is the primary driver of all scientific and philosophical inquiry. Curiosity may be shortlived, ending when a question is answered or problem solved, but it can also last a lifetime, never dimming in intensity.

Persecución mortal: www.newyorkethnicfood.com: Elmore Leonard, Catalina Martínez Muñoz: Books

Livio devotes a few chapters to the neuroscience of curiosity and the work of cognitive scientists. With the help of fMRI technology, researchers can now image the brain in action, pinpoint which regions are used during particular mental processes, and identify the neural pathways. While curiosity has led to astounding accomplishments, Livio balances his investigation by pointing out that curiosity was seen as dangerous and deviant. Livio, though, focuses more on virtuous curiosity of the sort that has propelled human intellectual evolution.

If he had his way, Mario Livio would turn curiosity into an epidemic.

What was your first reaction when you were presented with all the raw video footage? A mix of excitement and trepidation. We had heard from our Saudi Arabian collaborators that the footage was a mix shot by Al Qaeda and the Saudi security forces. Much of it was of poor quality, the dialogue was in Arabic, of course, but slang or regional dialects spoken in thick Bedouin accents. None of the material was cataloged, so we had to bring in a big team just to work on cataloging and identifying all the characters.

That was challenging, but there were so many gems in the footage that I knew we had the ingredients of a powerful film. The young men in the film are rather unremarkable, hardly like the hardened, implacable figures depicted in the Western media. Were you surprised by this? On the one hand, they sometimes seem like a bunch of goofy college kids, playing with guns out in the desert. The mind-set is fascinating. These young men and others like them see themselves as romantic Koranic figures locked in an epic struggle, not only against the West, but a struggle for Islam itself.

Nothing about Islam or the Middle East is simple. Besides idealism and a misguided pursuit of adventure, what drives these young men? I think what comes across in the film is that these young men honestly believe that life is a test of their faith, and that if they die in service to their faith, they will go to heaven and be met by 72 virgins. No, but a film about terrorism should be uncompromising, raw, and disturbing. So many times we see a film and quickly forget it, but the images in this film stay with you.

The capture operation itself is harrowing, but the core arc of the film is a litephilosophical chamber drama centered on negotiations in a safe house. Eichmann cannot leave Argentina until he signs a legal waiver. For a historical story where the audience already knows the outcome, Operation Finale offers a captivating heist plot. Important arguments about legal and moral responsibility for war crimes pepper the dialogue, although the reduction in complexity presented here may frustrate the viewer who is actually familiar with this history.
