Yesterday marked the four-week anniversary of the book's pub date and although it's been out for a month, we're still waiting for his summons and complaint. It was the fourth threat letter that Fitzgerald had sent since October and the man who'd succeeded in getting New York Times reporter Judith Miller jailed for 85 days in the CIA leak probe was growing impatient The new edition of Triple Cross added material, including 26 pages detailing Fitzgerald's attempts to suppress the book.

At a press conference for the new edition at the National Press Club in Washington, covered by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press , Lance is quoted as saying "Fitzgerald is particularly sensitive to the issues discussed in the book because if they prove true, the prosecutor could face legal fallout of his own. Anthony Shaffer intelligence officer. Burton Turkus and Sid Feder, first published in In the forward to that book Lance discusses how his examination of the FBI's counter-terrorism investigations led him to discover an extraordinary link between the FBI and a Bureau sting of an al Qaeda terrorist, in Federal jail in Lower Manhattan, conducted with the help of a captain in the Colombo crime family:.

One piece of intelligence from Scarpa Jr. According to the publisher's book description on Amazon. Lindley DeVecchio was considered one of the Bureau's top agents on organized crime. With contacts at the highest levels of the mob, he offered the Feds an unprecedented window into the workings of the Brooklyn families—and tips he supplied led to more than 70 successful prosecutions that helped propel a young district attorney named Rudolph Giuliani to national prominence.

Yet, by the s it was charged that "Mr. Organized Crime", as DeVecchio was known, had taken his infiltration too far. For years Scarpa was DeVecchio's informant—but some evidence allegedly suggested that Scarpa had provided him information that the mobster used in three murders during the Colombo mob wars of the s. Though the DeVecchio story was only a subplot in a cover up, after its publication Hynes' office filed charges against DeVecchio—and cited Lance's investigation as a wonderful springboard to understand the story.

Lance was subpoenaed by defense attorneys in connection with the trial. And yet in late , the case against DeVecchio was dramatically dropped when the credibility of a key witness unrelated to Lance's reporting was impugned. While contesting the charges against him Lance proceeded with his own investigation of the practices of the Santa Barbara police department, the results published in a part series for the Santa Barbara News-Press. In the series, Lance alleges that the police systematically falsified evidence to obtain DUI convictions.

The Santa Barbara News-Press series charged that officer Beutel used pre-filled forms that would meet certain criteria "to guarantee a successful DUI arrest". Lance told the Santa Barbara Independent: In the News-Press series Lance also wrote that officer Beutel "may have committed bankruptcy fraud in "; that she "perjured herself during divorce proceedings in "; and that "she'd suborned the perjury of the minister who married her in by asking him to back-date her marriage license so that she might receive more post-divorce support".

In October the News-Press published a new five-part series by Lance that reported on "a local defense lawyer who suspected that someone in law enforcement had planted heroin on one of his clients — a woman arrested on suspicion of DUI by Officer Beutel" [50] On October 7, , Lance wrote: At first I didn't believe it, despite the evidence I'd assembled by then, proving that Officer Beutel, the former head of the Santa Barbara Police Department's Drinking Driver Team and two-time Top DUI officer in the county had falsified police reports, committed perjury on a DMV form, witnessed at least five forged blood test waivers, withheld evidence from two suspects in violation of Brady rules, and pre-checked DUI forms before going into the field, suggesting a pre-determined mindset to frame innocent drivers.

I'd uncovered additional evidence regarding the accountant-turned-cop possibly committing bankruptcy fraud in and perjury in the course of divorce proceedings just months before she donned the uniform of the Santa Barbara Police Department in Knowing all of that, I refused to accept that a sworn officer of the law could do something as repugnant as planting drugs on a suspect, much less heroin. Still, as with all the evidence in this investigation, I vetted the allegation with an open mind.

Over the months since then, as more and more information surfaced, including a videotape from County Jail where the discovery of the drug took place, I came to believe that it wasn't just possible, but probable that someone in law enforcement — perhaps Officer Beutel — had intentionally planted that bindle of black tar heroin at the feet of the DUI suspect, causing the District Attorney's Office to charge her on additional charges beyond driving under the influence.

The move came after the recommendation of the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury in October, following Lance's first series in which he reported for the first time that the SBPD was the largest police agency in the county without onboard video in patrol units; a factor that can lead to misconduct in DUI arrests.

Jamal was the product of two devoutly religious cultures: He knew very little about the background of either Maddy or Dr. Forbes, but he shared one thing in common with them: He came to every case, every crime and every person he met, on either side of the law with an open mind. He did his best to jettison whatever prejudice or bias he might have, and take a purely empirical approach toward problem solving. Jamal was more concerned about the truth than the perception of the truth.

Multiple shots were fired and Hampton was wounded in the shoulder. But a Panther eyewitness later claimed that rather than taking him alive, the cops shot him in the head, effectively executing him in cold blood. Winston Bradley, who had nothing to do with the shooting, was arrested and convicted of felony murder as a result of his presence in the apartment. He did six years of hard time in Joliet State Penitentiary. But during that stretch he joined The Nation of Islam.
