<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://tilt.tc/oJcl"></a>
I am known as the nation's non attorney legal analyst with a sincere passion for researching and publicizing wrongful convictions and grave injustices. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am most notably recognized for volunteer work in freeing The Mississippi Scott Sisters.
My resume encompasses numerous measurable results brought about with legal analysis, grassroots organizing and social networking for justice.
I am a pioneer in using legal applications and social networking tools in bringing issues of grave injustices to "light".
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a third generation public school teacher, I followed the tradition of creating "outside the box" teaching strategies for students "labeled" learning disabled. My consciousness and disapproval of the "school to prison pipeline" led to work with juvenile delinquents. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a Reader's Digest DeWitt Wallace Fellow to Bread Loaf School Of English, I collaborated with The Bread Loaf Rural Teacher Network to create and implement writing and technology in rural public schools.
I currently hold a Master of Jurisprudence but, would be of more service to the community as an attorney.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This coming fall, 2013, I will begin law school (J.D.) with goals of becoming A People's Lawyer, specializing in wrongful convictions. I am asking for financial assistance from you to begin this expensive endeavor.
All contributions are greatly appreciated and may be made via the fundraising link - http://tilt.tc/oJcl</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

I sat there and watched you, like some kind of devilish sinkhole swallow up Tatyana Ali, reduced her to a child sitting there attempting to keep some semblance of dignity about her as you pried and invaded her life until you got what you wanted. You are a demon Wendy…you are a wicked, awful, conniving, sinister, spiteful, jealous of every other woman, simply put Wendy… you are a virus… and you are not, nor have ever been a true woman.<br />Your audience thirsts for the blood of others as they are prompted, to clap, hoot, and holler at your garish shoes, wigs and clothing.

Take that fake ass blond hair off your head or stop playing the race card, cause you are coming off like a wanna be white girl who will never be white.<br />I have never seen anything except for the hogs I used to feed before school, slobber at the mere sight of food so I even question your humanness. I have never seen such a display of self hatred Wendy. Just a couple of more suggestions to you…stop dissing all of us who have embraced our natural hair as I and many others have, and yes Wendy it does belong on the red carpet, whether you like it or not. I feel so sorry for you… sitting on your big footed tacky throne everyday while millions of people laugh at you…not with you…there is a big difference. Nobody cares what you think about their lives, but we do care about what you put out there about us. My heart saddens at how women especially black women have embraced your evil after all our struggles in society. You and your kind have set us back at least 100 years.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"...Today I came across a very serious post. One of my friends who is also active in prison reform stated she had been scammed- actually robbed of $8,000. The man she trusted to HELP her and her husband turned out to be a fraud. After much investigating what she discovered is more than alarming. I am going to post her findings here. Its all about truth and anyone that knows me, knows I will expose the fraudsters that prey on others. I absolutely despise people that target and take advantage of others.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It seems that prisoners and their families are easy targets. After dealing with the criminal justice system, they are vulnerable, dismayed, confused, hurt and angry. They need and want help. Most they are desperate. Its not easy having a loved one locked up. The families are treated like criminals, simply because of their association to a prisoner. When they seek help and reach out, it is usually a very serious issue that must be addressed immediately and properly. Its a damn shame when a scammer enters the picture and begins the routine- it starts with many promises and ends only with the family in more pain, and much money lost. Esteban Rogelio Garcia is is a predator. Using the name of “<a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.0,-100.0&spn=10.0,10.0&q=31.0,-100.0%20(Texas)&t=h" rel="geolocation" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #3b0466; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Texas">Texas</a> Writ Writers Association” one would think he is totally above board. Using Christianity and God is one of his hooks. After all, a man purporting strong faith would never harm others, right?" http://prisonmovement.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/slick-con-artist-scamming-prisoners-families-esteban-rogelio-garcia-aka-texas-writ-writer/</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-weight: bold;"> "A surveillance video obtained by Channel 3 of a confrontation between Chattanooga Police and federal inmate Adam Tatum has prompted a news conference Thursday morning. The confrontation between Chattanooga Police and federal inmate Adam Tatum at the Salvation Army's halfway house last June that put Tatum in the hospital with broken bones and got Officers Sean Emmer and Adam Cooley fired for use of excessive force. Tatum's attorney, Robin Flores, obtained the video through court order from the Hamilton County District Attorney General's office. He's seeking to have Tatum's convictions thrown out, after Tatum pleaded guilty to assaulting the officers. "We counted at least 200 blows, 200 individual blows," says Tatum's attorney, Robin Flores.

The man was later found dead.
A gut-wrenching video of the scene is all the more disturbing because the men who abused the Mozambican immigrant were uniformed South African police officers and the van was a marked police vehicle.
The graphic scenes of the victim struggling for his life shocked a nation long accustomed to reports of police violence.
"The visuals of the incident are horrific, disturbing and unacceptable. No human being should be treated in that manner," said South African President Jacob Zuma.
The Daily Sun, a South African newspaper, posted video the footage Thursday and it was quickly picked up by other South African news outlets and carried on the Internet. It sparked immediate outrage about police behavior.
"They are there for safety, but we as a people fear them more," said Johannesburg resident Alfonso Adams. "You don't know who to trust anymore."
Some of those in the crowd who watched the scene unfold in the Daveyton township east of Johannesburg shouted at the police and warned that it was being videotaped. The police did not seem at all concerned by all the witnesses and the presence of cameras as they tied Mido Macia, a 27-year-old from neighboring Mozambique, to the back of a police vehicle, his hands behind his head. At least three policemen participated in the incident. Macia was found dead in a Daveyton police cell late Tuesday.
"We are going to film this," several onlookers shouted in Zulu as the police tormented Macia. One bystander can be heard on the videotape shouting in Zulu: "What has this guy done?"</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> http://www.sott.net/article/259007-Police-brutality-South-African-police-drag-man-who-later-dies</span>

<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In separate telephone interviews with the NNPA News Service, Harvard Law Professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr. and Lewis Myers, Jr., a well-known attorney in Chicago, said they expect Mr. Ballentine to be fully vindicated.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I have no doubt at all,” Prof. Ogletree said. “This is not a close case—we will win. But it doesn’t matter now because all that is in the press is, ‘Celebrity Lawyer involved in $10 Million Scam.’ ”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, based in Chicago, announced in late January that Mr. Ballentine had been indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly engaging in two mortgage fraud schemes, one from Dec. 2004 to Feb. 2005 and another one from Feb. 2005 to May 2006.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“The defendant, Warren Ballentine, allegedly schemed with others to obtain more than two dozen fraudulent mortgage loans and represented buyers of multiple closings, knowing that they were fraudulently qualified for loans to purchase homes in Chicago and various southern suburbs,” a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s office said.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mr. Ballentine, 41, who was born on the South Side of Chicago, lived in Country Club Hills, Ill., before moving to Durham, N.C. He was charged with two counts of bank fraud, two counts of making false statements to lenders, one count of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He was scheduled to be arraigned in federal court in Chicago on Feb. 12, where he was expected to enter a not guilty plea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before Mr. Ballentine was provided an opportunity to tell his side of the story in court, Reach Media canceled his popular radio show, which has been nationally syndicated since 2007.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Marty Raab, a company spokesman, said by e-mail, “I can share that effective today Thursday January 31st, 2013, The Warren Ballentine Show has been replaced with Trending Today. Warren Ballentine is no longer with Reach Media.” Radio One owns 80 percent of Reach Media, which was started by radio personality Tom Joyner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mr. Raab refused to explain why Reach Media dropped the show rather than suspend Mr. Ballentine, pending the outcome of the legal proceedings. He also refused to say why the company ended Mr. Ballentine’s show before he even appears in court to enter a plea.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mr. Ballentine’s lawyers would not allow him to be interviewed prior to the conclusion of legal proceedings against him. However, the former talk show host posted on his Facebook account: “To all of you who are showing support thank you!! Im innocent!!!!! I may be off the air for now but Im going to fight to clear my name. All I can say is this reach media and radio one just through [sic] me away like I was garbage…”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In another Facebook posting, Mr. Ballentine said, “PLEASE PRAY FOR ME for I may lose everything I worked so hard for because of someone else’s lies. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Those who know Mr. Ballentine say he is an astute negotiator who would not engage in illegal activity, especially at the risk of losing his lawyer’s license and earning the standard $200-$500 per real estate closing while others were making millions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mr. Myers, the Chicago attorney, said: “I know how people like Bobbie Brown and Wanda Rivera-Burton (two key participants in the schemes) can just run this thing through the mill. The irony of it is you can get decent, innocent citizens caught up in this, not with any criminal intent, maybe through lack of vigilance that may have been warranted, but not the level where it should rise to criminal conduct.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the federal indictments, Bobbie L. Brown, Jr., Wanda Rivera-Burton and more than 30 others operated a crime ring that included attorneys, tax preparers, mortgage brokers, loan officers, notaries, homebuilders, and fake home buyers in Nevada, California and Illinois.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In order to obtain more than 150 fraudulent mortgage loans, prosecutors say:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">• People were solicited to pose as buyers purchasing a house at no money down to serve as their primary residence; they would make similar representations later when purchasing additional homes;</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">• False documents were created to help applicants qualify for loans, including untrue statements about applicant’s employment, income, assets as well as false tax returns;</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">• False verification systems were created to purportedly verify rent, leases, deposits and money in bank accounts;</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">• Home builders and sellers would agree to inflate the purchase price, with finder’s fees or real estate commissions ranging from 5 to 30 percent of sale price going to Brown and others;</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">• Some property would be purchased by using stolen Social Security numbers and other stolen ID;</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">• Homebuyers recruited for the scheme were told the homes would be rented out for a year and then re-sold at which time their names would be removed from the deed. They were told they wouldn’t have to make any mortgage payments in the meantime;</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">• After buyers failed to make payments, the houses went into foreclosure.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most of those charged in the scheme have been convicted and sentenced to prison.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Federal prosecutors identified Bobbie L. Brown, Jr., who operated several businesses, including Chicago Global Investments, Inc. and B&M Custom Homes, Inc., as the chief organizer of the scheme. He pleaded guilty to mail, wire and bank fraud and was sentenced two years ago to 20 years in federal prison. Mr. Brown was Mr. Ballentine’s next door neighbor in Country Club Hills, a suburb south of Chicago.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mr. Ballentine, who specialized in criminal defense, family and entertainment law in Chicago, began doing real estate closings for Mr. Brown almost as a favor. On some occasions, Mr. Ballentine would be leaving home and Mr. Brown would ask him to do a real estate closing for him that day, if he were available. And Mr. Ballentine would, picking up several hundred dollars in what lawyers call “easy money.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Referring to Mr. Ballentine, Prof. Ogletree said, “He was a new lawyer, new to his career. The guy says, ‘We want you to come in. You’ll get paid. I just need you to sign these documents. I’ve got the buyer and seller coming.’ He doesn’t realize the folks who were in the same scheme were really lying about really buying property. That’s how he got caught up.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Prof. Ogletree also explained, “The good thing we’ve heard from one of the witnesses is that Warren didn’t know what was going on and then when he figured it out—this was way back in 2006—he stopped doing it. One of the people who’s now in jail said that.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The other person linked to Mr. Ballentine is Wanda Rivera-Burton, co-owner of B&W Investments and Property Management, Inc. She handled a home re-financing for Mr. Ballentine’s mother, who mentioned that her son was an attorney.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ms. Rivera-Burton has pleaded guilty, but is awaiting sentencing. She has signed a cooperation agreement with prosecutors and is working with them to bring cases against others, presumably including Mr. Ballentine, in hopes of getting a more lenient sentence.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mr. Brown and 33 others were indicted in August 2006. However, Mr. Ballentine wasn’t indicted until Jan. 2013, which Mr. Ballentine’s lawyers view as reflecting a weak case against their client.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Perhaps the most damaging charge against Mr. Ballentine in the indictment was that he allegedly “represented buyers at multiple closings within short time frames, knowing that the buyers were falsely representing that they would use each property they purchased as their primary residence.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For example, he saw the same buyer on December 30, 2004, February 4, 2005 and February 9, 2005, according to the indictment. He allegedly saw another buyer on Jan. 13, 2005 and again on Feb. 18, 2005.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Atty. Myers said it is not unusual for closing attorneys to pay little attention to buyers they had not seen previously or expected to see again.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“They say, ‘If you don’t know, you should have known,” Atty. Myers said. “If that’s the case, a whole lot of lawyers are in serious trouble.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to those familiar with the case, Mr. Ballentine handled about 28 closings for Mr. Brown and Ms. Rivera-Burton, earning in the neighborhood of $10,000 over a 3-year period.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why would Mr. Ballentine risk losing something as valuable as his law license for just slightly more than $3,000 per year?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to Attorney Lewis Myers, Jr., he wouldn’t. But until Mr. Ballentine is vindicated, he will have to live with headlines such as the one appearing in the Chicago Sun-Times: “‘People’s Attorney’ radio show host indicted in $10 million mortgage fraud.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Charles Steele, CEO of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), said, “Warren Ballentine is a man of integrity and has contributed too much to our community for us to turn our back on him.” Mr. Steele added, “It’s really wrong to take his radio show away from him before he has had his day in court.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Atty. Myers is confident that Mr. Ballentine will be vindicated in court but worries about the impact of losing his radio show and misleading newspaper headlines will have on his ability to earn a living.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Warren has nothing to be ashamed of,” he said. “Ultimately, I hope that he can overcome all of this and restore his good name and integrity with the public and move on with his life.”</span></div>

<br style="font-size: 1em;" />
Israel has a long history of racism and white supremacy and has been committing a slow genocide against the Palestinians to steal even more of their land. Israel stood by the side of Apartheid South Africa when the rest of the world, some reluctantly, started to cut ties to the country in a global divestment effort to end its racist policies.<br />
<br style="font-size: 1em;" />
Stevie Wonder would eventually cancel his gig at the IDF benefit concert, which is puzzling that they need a fundraiser when their military is wholly subsidized by billions of American tax dollars and weapons annually. Wonder issued a press release that in part stated,</div>

Timothy Herring was under arrest in the slayings of a Chicago police officer and another man two years ago when a police lieutenant leading the investigation heard something as he walked past the locked interrogation room where Herring was meeting with a lawyer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"I heard Timothy having a conversation, but it was basically with himself, a one-way phone conversation, which was extremely odd since he's in a room with his attorney," testified Chicago police Lt. Brendan Deenihan, who said he went into the room and saw Herring, chained to a ring in the wall, end a call and hand the phone back to the lawyer.<img alt="Lawyer Sladjana Vuckovic, a volunteer for First Defense Legal Aid for nearly 10 years, faces a 15-year sentence and possible disbarment if convicted." height="273" src="http://www.trbimg.com/img-50b59fb0/turbine/ct-met-lawyer-vuckavic-1128-mh.jpg-20121127/600" style="background-color: transparent;" width="400" /></div>

</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
That discovery led to an even more unusual twist. The lawyer, Sladjana Vuckovic, was charged with bringing contraband — her cellphone — into a penal institution. Vuckovic, who at the time was volunteering for a 24-hour <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-11-27/news/ct-met-lawyer-trial-20121128_1_sladjana-vuckovic-officer-michael-flisk-first-defense-legal-aid#" id="_GPLITA_3" in_rurl="http://i.trkjmp.com/click?v=VVM6MjYzNDc6MTMwNDpmcmVlIGxlZ2FsIHNlcnZpY2U6ZWMyZjYzOTQwODhiNGY4N2RjZGU0YTM3NGFhMWYxNTA6ei0xMzIyLTExMjE0NzphcnRpY2xlcy5jaGljYWdvdHJpYnVuZS5jb206MTc5Mjk6ODFiYTI3NTc4MzU5YWZhOWY5NjcwZDM1ZjQ4ZDM5MmU" style="border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" title="Click to Continue > by Coupon Companion">free legal service</a> for indigent suspects, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted and would likely be disbarred.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The charges sparked a controversy among criminal-defense lawyers who said they routinely bring their cellphones into police interview rooms and sometimes let clients make calls. Some veteran attorneys said they could not remember a similar case ever being pursued by police.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Prosecutors alleged that in two visits to the Far South Side detective headquarters where Herring was in custody, Vuckovic allowed him to use her cellphone to make or receive a total of 26 calls. Phone records showed calls were made to Herring's half-brother and a friend, and that on two occasions, Herring had a three-way conversation with his half-brother and an unknown third party whose number came up blocked.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"The police will never know who (Herring was) talking to or what was being said," Assistant State's Attorney Michael Golden said in his opening statement to the Cook County jury. "They will never know how he was using that phone to advance his own case."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Vuckovic's attorney, Leonard Goodman, told jurors no signs were posted at the headquarters prohibiting cellphones in the interrogation room and that the Police Department's own general orders call for a suspect in custody to be allowed "a reasonable number" of calls to family, friends and an attorney.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Hours after Vuckovic's second visit to the station, Herring was charged with gunning down Officer Michael Flisk and Steven Peters as Flisk processed the scene of a break-in at Peters' garage. Police alleged Herring, then 19 and on <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-11-27/news/ct-met-lawyer-trial-20121128_1_sladjana-vuckovic-officer-michael-flisk-first-defense-legal-aid#" id="_GPLITA_2" in_rurl="http://i.trkjmp.com/click?v=VVM6MjMwNzg6MTI4OnBhcm9sZTplNmNiY2NmZDRhNjRlYjY1ZDg4M2ZjZTE5NmM2YmY2Mjp6LTEzMjItMTEyMTQ3OmFydGljbGVzLmNoaWNhZ290cmlidW5lLmNvbToxMzEzMjozYjc0MmUxYzZlMDllY2MwMWYwNDQ1MmVmNjMwZDg5Mw" style="border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;" title="Click to Continue > by Coupon Companion">parole</a>, returned to the scene because he feared Flisk would uncover evidence connecting him to the burglary.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Born in the former Yugoslavia, Vuckovic, 44, worked as a attorney for the CTA but also had a passion for helping those less fortunate, her lawyer said. She had volunteered for First Defense Legal Aid for nearly a decade and was the on-call attorney the night Herring's brother called the agency's hotline and asked for help.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Goodman said First Defense attorneys often have to clear hurdles of distrust with clients who tend to be suspicious about whether the lawyer is really there to represent them. She allowed him to use her phone only to contact family and warned him not to talk about his case, Goodman said. Both times she had her phone in a shoulder bag. On her second visit, she brought Herring a sandwich and drink, he said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"She's made hundreds of station visits, and not once has a detective ever said to her she couldn't bring a cellphone in," Goodman said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
In an effort to keep the high-profile murder from influencing Vuckovic's trial, Judge Evelyn Clay had lawyers refer to Herring only as "Timothy H." and jurors were not told that Herring was charged with killing a Chicago police officer and a second victim.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Still, at times the testimony made it clear that Herring was not in custody for a routine slaying. Several detectives said Herring was originally picked up on a parole violation sweep that's done only in exceptional cases. Deenihan, second-in-command at the Calumet Area headquarters, told jurors he was so focused on his investigation of the double slaying that he had no time to worry about arresting Vuckovic at the time.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
In addition, several of Flisk's family members, including his wife, Nora, attended Vuckovic's trial, sitting in the front row of the courtroom gallery wearing buttons with the slain officer's photo.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">CNN)</strong> -- As Superstorm Sandy ravaged New York, Glenda Moore drove frantically across Staten Island in an attempt to get her sons to safety.</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph2" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Instead, Moore found herself and her boys -- Connor, four and Brandon, two -- caught in the full fury of the storm.</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph3" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Buffeted by torrential rains and winds of up to 90 miles per hour, her Ford Explorer plunged into a hole. According to the account she would later give police, Moore carried her sons to a nearby tree, gripping branches along with her boys as she tried to shelter them from the storm surge.</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph4" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She told police they clung together for hours, before Moore managed to make her way to a nearby property, and pleaded to be let inside. But according to her police account, rather than sheltering the desperate strangers, the occupant refused to let them enter.</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph5" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In desperation, Moore told police she then went to the back of the house, and tried to break in using a flower pot, but was unable to do so. As the storm raged on, her sons were swept away by floodwaters.</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph6" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The bodies of the boys were found near each other Thursday, about a quarter of a mile from where Moore last held them.</div>

Relatives said Moore was too distraught to speak with CNN.</div>

Meanwhile, public anger has been directed at the homeowner who allegedly failed to help Moore and her children. The man, who told CNN's Gary Tuchman that his name is Alan but did not want his full name used, disputed Moore's account, saying he saw only a man outside.</div>

"He didn't come to the door... he must have been standing at the bottom of the stairs," said the man. "He took a concrete flower pot... and threw [it] through the door."</div>

The man at the door didn't ask to enter the house, he said, but instead asked him to come outside in order to help.</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph12" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"What could I do to help him?" he asked. "I had a pair of shorts on with flip-flops."</div>

The man told CNN he sat up for the rest of the night, with his back against the door in the kitchen.</div>

He said he did not know the fate of the children. Told that their bodies had been found, he said the deaths were a tragedy, but implied that the woman was at fault.</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph15" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">

He said there was nothing he could have done. "I'm not a rescue worker ... If I would have been outside, I would have been dead."</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph17" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
