Athlete Who Spread HIV To Unknowing Sexual Partners Sentenced To 60-Years In Prison


Michael L. Johnson went by the name "Tiger Mandingo" and was having sex with men in his university dorm room

23-year-old athlete, Michael L. Johnson, was indicted and convicted of infecting a sexual partner with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Johnson, who has been incarcerated in St. Louis, Missouri since his arrest in 2013, was formally accused of exposing several men to HIV, deliberately withholding the fact he has the virus. The prosecution subpoenaed the university wrestler's medical records and spoke with staff at two clinics, which revealed Johnson was aware of his HIV positive status. However, he refused to refrain from sexual activity with men he lied to stating he is HIV negative.


Michael L. Johnson

Prosecutor Phil Groenweghe referred to Johnson's conduct as deliberate and malicious, "What we have here is a perfect storm of malice" and "He didn’t just fail to disclose his status. When he was specifically asked if he was clean... he lied." Under domestic and international law in many nations, people who knowingly infect others with HIV are subject to indictment and imprisonment. They are also subject to financially devastating lawsuits from those they infected, which could lead to bankruptcy. While my sympathy goes out to anyone who is sick, please act responsibly and allow others the health you are currently being denied. Have hope that science will produce a breakthrough.

Ex-Missouri student found guilty of exposing partner to HIV

Updated 4:36 am, Friday, May 15, 2015 - ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — Jurors in Missouri have found a 23-year-old man guilty of infecting another man with HIV and endangering four others with the disease while attending college in suburban St. Louis. Former Lindenwood University student Michael L. Johnson was convicted Thursday on one count of recklessly infecting another with HIV and four counts of recklessly risking infection of another with HIV, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported (http://bit.ly/1RMlPhe ). He was found not guilty on a sixth charge of exposing another man to the virus that causes AIDS.

Johnson, a college wrestler, was expelled from the university in St. Charles and has been jailed since his arrest in 2013. During closing arguments, Assistant Prosecutor Phil Groenweghe told the jury that Johnson knew he was HIV positive but lied to his sexual partners. "What we have here is a perfect storm of malice," said Groenweghe...

Mike Brown Mocked In Death Again As Memorial Tree Defaced


Michael Brown

Last December select cops in Ferguson, Missouri mocked a memorial to slain, unarmed local teenager Mike Brown, after he was gunned down officer Darren Wilson. Locals had placed cards, flowers and teddy bears at the site of the shooting as a memorial, which led to a callous cop calling it "a pile of trash." Once again, Ferguson police were showing Brown disrespect.

Michael Brown memorial tree dedication:



Michael Brown memorial tree cut down and defaced:


This month, a memorial tree was dedicated to Brown and by the next day it was defaced. Once again, Brown was disrespected in death. This lack of respect for human life is troubling. Everyone is entitled to live their life and in peace. We are all somebody. To treat others as anything less than human is an offense and insult to humanity and all that is decent and good in this world.

Shantel Jackson Having Second Thoughts About Nelly Since His Arrest And Is Missing Floyd Mayweather's Money

 

Nelly and Shantel Jackson

I received a good and credible tip today that due to the arrest of rapper and reality star, Nelly, on gun and drug charges, due to friends he allowed on his tour bus, his girlfriend, aspiring actress, Shantel Jackson, wants to go back to her ex-fiancé, boxer Floyd Mayweather, but is worried how it will all look. Jackson got a taste of the high life living with Mayweather for several years. When he called off their engagement, due to the fact she aborted his twin babies, he financially cut her off.

      

Shantel Jackson and Floyd Mayweather

Jackson then sued Mayweather for undisclosed damages, citing nineteen counts, including replevin,  for taking back the $5,000,000 engagement ring he gave her. With Nelly's legal affairs in turmoil and the uncertainty surrounding her struggling career, I was informed that Jackson wants to go back to Mayweather. However, one of her main complaints was he made her engage in threesomes, something she does not like. However, she did so due to the fact he was spending millions of dollars on her.

Side Bar: I like Nelly and wish him the best. I'm not convinced he did everything he was arrested for. Many rappers smoke weed. However, selling drugs does not fit his profile at this point in his life. This is a man who founded a school for underprivileged youth in St. Louis, Missouri.

Nellyville Is One Of The Top Rated New Reality Shows Of 2015


Nellyville

St. Louis, Missouri rapper Nelly debuted his reality show "Nellyville" this year to strong ratings, pulling in one million viewers on the BET network. It has breathed new life into his career and given the public an insight into his life, as Nelly raises his daughter, son, niece and nephew, after the passing of his sister to leukemia. Nelly was right to raise them in St. Louis, rather than Hollywood, which has messed up many a kid. The show also features Nelly's girlfriend, Shantel Jackson, the ex-fiancée of boxer Floyd Mayweather.


Nelly and Shantel Jackson

Nellyville concluded last night with his daughter and nephew recording their own single with a cousin and they sound good. The song has the makings of a hit. Nelly is protective of his virginal daughter and niece, but have been encouraging them to pursue higher education, as he did. However, that did not stop Nelly from flunking the written portion of his driving test, right along with his niece, who has done so 11 times (LOL). Girl, get that license in the new year.

 

Will Nelly's ex-girlfriend, singer Ashanti, make an appearance on the show next season 

Side Bar: Nellyville was relatively short. Only 8 episodes were ordered, leaving fans on social networking wishing the season had been longer. BET should have ordered more episodes. However, with new shows, networks are always cautious, as they sometimes do not know which will be a hit or miss.

Protests Erupt All Over America Over The Grand Jury Decision Not To Indict Police Officer Darren Wilson In The Shooting Death Of Teenager Mike Brown


Protests in New York

Protests have erupted all over America in the fallout from a Missouri grand jury refusing to indict police officer, Darren Wilson, in the shooting death of unarmed teen, Mike Brown. Black, white, Asian and Hispanic protestors took to the streets all over America to denounce the decision of the grand jury. While not all police officers are corrupt, those who are need to see the protests and be careful in not summarily executing someone, using excessive force. Wilson shot Brown six times, which is excessive force.
 

Family of Mike Brown cries at news of no indictment

Many are publicly stating the grand jury process was corrupted in this case, as the prosecutor is supposed to act on behalf of the deceased victim. Instead, transcripts reveal the prosecutor leading Wilson, painting him as the victim. The statements made by the prosecutor are not being viewed by the public as unbiased or impartial.

Grand Jury Declines To Indict Police Officer Darren Wilson In The Shooting Death Of Michael Brown (Video)

 
A grand jury convened in Missouri, regarding the shooting death of unarmed teen, Michael Brown, by police officer, Darren Wilson. Many have described the incident as excessive force and called for Wilson to be imprisoned for the teen's death. The grand jury returned a verdict today and declined to indict Wilson in Brown's brutal death. 

 

Michael Brown was left in the street dead for almost 5 hours, as no ambulance arrived at the scene, in what necessitates a criminal investigation. Ambulances usually arrive within a few short minutes...


Darren Wilson

The public has reacted quite negatively to the news and understandable so. Brown's body was riddled with bullets in what no reasonable person could call self-defense or justifiable homicide. The case has stoked racial tensions and this miscarriage of justice is only making things worse. However, the Judiciary Report would like to implore the public to keep the peace. The Judiciary Report sends its condolences to the family and friends of Michael Brown.

CNN Reports The National Guard In Ferguson Threw Gasoline On The Fire Of Racial Tensions During Mike Brown Protests By Calling Black Protesters N*ggers


Don Lemon

CNN television news reporter Don Lemon is reporting, while attending protests in Ferguson, Missouri, regarding the police murder of 18-year-old unarmed, university bound student, Michael Brown, he and his television producer heard the National Guard refer to protestors as "n*ggers." The National Guard attempting to corral peaceful protestors, exercising their constitutional right to assemble (freedom of assembly) called the crowd "n*ggers" when they would not disburse and go home. 


What was that? Was that really necessary calling people n*ggers? And some wonder why people believe Brown's murder was racial profiling and racially motivated. Explain that! The National Guard brought race into it confirming people's worst suspicions. Some want the case to quickly go away, but there are issues that need to be discussed to prevent this from happening again. It needs to be formally brought out in the open in appropriate venues, so there can be peaceful dialogue with meaningful answers and effective solutions. Racial unity is needed.

CNN’s Don Lemon: National Guard Used ‘N-Word’ to Describe Ferguson Protesters

10:55 pm, August 19th, 2014 - CNN’s Don Lemon was back in the CNN studio Tuesday night after several days on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri. The anchor was hosting a town hall called “Black and White in America,” when one questioner asked what “safeguards” police departments could put in place to prevent shootings like the one that killed Michael Brown in the future. 

When one of Lemon’s panelists brought up the idea of putting cameras on officers to make them more accountable, Lemon said that measure might also affect the types of people who decide to become cops...He then shared this story from his time in Ferguson last night: 

“I’m just going to be honest with you. Last night, one of my producers said that they — I won’t say if it’s a he or she, because I don’t want to give anyone away — said they came in contact with one of the members of the National Guard and that they said, ‘You want to get out of here because you’re white, because these n-words, you never know what they’re going to do.’ True story. I kid you not. 2014, a member of the National Guard. And my producer doesn’t lie. It is a true story.” Watch video below, via CNN...

Top Forensic Pathologist Michael Baden States There Was No Evidence Of A Struggle Between Mike Brown And Police And He Should Not Have Been Shot So Many Times

 
Civil right attorney Benjamin Crump (left) and Dr. Michael Baden (right)

World renown forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, autopsied the body of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was executed by Ferguson, Missouri police officer, Darren Wilson, in a case of excessive force meets extrajudicial killing. Dr. Baden, who oversaw the autopsies of the late great civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, was very clear in his pronouncement on the case, waiving his standard $10,000 fee, it was unjustifiable.


Michael Brown was left in the street dead for almost 5 hours, as no ambulance arrived at the scene, in what necessitates a criminal investigation. Ambulances usually arrive within a few short minutes.

Police officials in Ferguson, who are not forthcoming with information, prompting understandable cries of a cover-up from the public, will try to paint the case as justifiable homicide. However, Dr. Baden, who has performed over 20,000 autopsies stated, "In my capacity as the forensic examiner for the New York State Police, I would say, 'You’re not supposed to shoot so many times.'" Thank you very much. This should be basic common sense. The average officer is not shooting people that many times, especially an unarmed person. 


Michael Brown autopsy

Wilson shooting Brown SIX times, twice in the head and four times to the torso, was not a warning shot, with shot being singular, it was an outright execution. Wilson claims Brown attacked him, though a witness states it was the other way around. However, Dr. Baden stated the autopsy reveals there was "no evidence of a struggle" on Brown's part. Dr. Baden also stated Brown was shot after he surrendered, as his hands were in the air, judging by the entry points and locations of the four bullets that pierced and lined his right arm. Who shoots a man who has surrendered? A murderer that's who, not a law abiding police officer.

Autopsy Shows Michael Brown Was Struck at Least 6 Times

AUG. 17, 2014 - “In my capacity as the forensic examiner for the New York State Police, I would say, ‘You’re not supposed to shoot so many times,’ ” said Dr. Baden, who retired from the state police in 2011. “Right now there is too little information to forensically reconstruct the shooting.”

Autopsy Report Reveals Teen Mike Brown Was Shot In The Head Twice And Four Times In The Torso After Surrendering To Police Officer Darren Wilson




An official autopsy report has been released in the Ferguson, Missouri shooting death of unarmed 18-year-old, Mike Brown, by police officer, Darren Wilson and the contents reveal it was murder. The autopsy reveals Brown, who witnesses had stated held his hands up in surrender, was shot six times - twice in the head and four times in the torso. 

One bullet went through Brown’s right eye, another directly into the top of his head, while the remaining four lined one of his arms. It was as though Wilson used Brown as a target practice poster at a gun range. Brown was executed by Wilson in a brute display of excessive force that cut the university bound boy's life short. This is known as an extrajudicial killing, which is forbidden by law.


Being a police officer means using reasonable force if and when necessary. Reasonable force is not shooting someone’s eye out and sending an execution style bullet into the crown of their head. Wilson behaved like a marksman. This was not an accident or miscalculation. He meant to kill and kill he did. 

Police in Ferguson, overwhelmed with protests and rioting in the wake of Brown’s murder, released a videotape that allegedly shows Brown stealing $40 in cigars from a convenience store. However, some online have stated the person in the video appears to have a full head of hair while wearing shoes, while 5 minutes after running from police, Brown’s dead body had sandals on and the corpse bald. 


Something strange is going on and regardless of what one believes, no one deserves to be executed over $40 worth of cigars. That is insanity and injustice. A human life is worth more than $40. 

Officer Darren Wilson and the convenience store attendant/owner have gone into hiding. However, CNN and other networks posted a video of Wilson’s house which included the street address, making it very easy for irate members of the public to find his residence.

Teen Who Had His Hands Raised In Surrender And Submission Shot Multiple Times By Police Officer And Killed Leading To Riots In Missouri


Michael Brown lay dead in the street after being gunned down by a police officer

This past weekend, 18-year-old African American, Michael Brown, was gunned down and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. The shooting took place on a public street in front of horrified onlookers, who state the teen was unarmed and had his hands in the air in submission and surrender. 

The family of Michael Brown and attorney Benjamin Crump, who represented the family of slain, innocent Miami teen, Trayvon Martin

One witness stated of the victim to the Associated Press, "'He was giving up in the sense of raising his arms and being subdued. The officer 'had his gun raised and started shooting the individual in the chest multiple times.' The officer then 'stood over him and shot him' after the victim fell wounded."

Shop owner cleans up after riots

The killing led to riots in Ferguson, as the public cried police brutality and racism in Brown's slaying. There were also peaceful protests and a candlelight vigil held in Brown's honor. An investigation is currently underway regarding the circumstances of the shooting. There is no justification for shooting an unarmed person, who had surrendered. That was an extrajudicial execution forbidden by law.  

Witnesses: Teen had hands raised when he was shot

Aug. 11, 2014 8:00 PM EDT - FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A black teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer had his hands raised when the officer approached with his weapon drawn and fired repeatedly, according to two men who said they witnessed the shooting that sparked a night of unrest in suburban St. Louis.

The FBI opened an investigation Monday into the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who police said was shot multiple times Saturday after being confronted by an officer in Ferguson, a suburb of 21,000 that's nearly 70 percent black. 

Authorities were vague about exactly what led the officer to open fire, except to say that the shooting was preceded by a scuffle of some kind with a man. It was unclear whether Brown or the man he was with was involved in the altercation.

Investigators have refused to publicly disclose the race of the officer, who is now on administrative leave. But Phillip Walker said he was on the porch of an apartment complex overlooking the scene when he heard a shot and saw a white officer with Brown on the street.

Brown "was giving up in the sense of raising his arms and being subdued," Walker told The Associated Press on Monday. The officer "had his gun raised and started shooting the individual in the chest multiple times." The officer then "stood over him and shot him" after the victim fell wounded.

Dorian Johnson offered a similar account when he told WALB-TV that he and Brown were walking home from a convenience store when a police officer told them to get out of the street and onto the sidewalk. Johnson said they kept walking, which caused the officer to confront them from his car and again after getting out of the vehicle.

Johnson said the first time the officer fired, he and Brown got scared and ran away. "He shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, and he started to get down," Johnson said. "But the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots." "We wasn't causing harm to nobody," Johnson said. "We had no weapons on us at all." Walker said that he did not see a scuffle or the circumstances that preceded the first gunshot...

Man Arrested And Charged With Spreading HIV Had Sex With 300 Men Knowing He Is Infected


David Magnum

David Magnum was arrested and charged with knowingly infecting people with HIV, who he met on the internet. It is estimated Magnum had unprotected sex with at least 300 men in Texas and Missouri. In Missouri, the legal penalties for such misconduct is far greater than other states and could carry a sentence of life in prison. Currently, it is illegal in 37 U.S. states to knowingly infect others with HIV. It should be illegal in every state and nation. It would help to curb transmission rates.

Many people still believe they are invincible and HIV and AIDS could never happen to them, when it can happen to anyone. Time after time, the Judiciary Report has witnessed people engage in reckless hook-ups on social networking with people they do not know and go on to publicly brag about having casual sex with, risking their lives.

It is not a badge of honor, but one that should cause concern over a dangerous lifestyle. Social networking is great for interacting with others and some legitimate romantic relationships have stemmed from them, but nonetheless, dangers exist that people need to be mindful of in every way. Condoms sometimes fail.

Just so, hooking up with random people one had just met in public increases one's chance of contracting HIV and other STDs. You do not know other people's true sexual practices, especially someone you've just met. Do not endanger your health and very existence over casual sex. Nothing can take the place of a monogamous marriage between two loving people.

Constant Cover Ups For August Busch IV

August Busch IV

There is a detailed pattern of local police covering the crimes of Anheuser Busch heir, August Busch IV, 46, who grew up wealthy and privileged, absolved of responsibility for his actions. The board of his family's company, grew concerned regarding his lawless, playboy image, wanting him to settle down permanently.

In 1983, while in university, Busch left a bar drunk, accompanied by a young waitress, Michele Frederick. His blood alcohol level was presumably over the legal drinking limit, due to what occurred next. Busch entered his vehicle and made a sharp turn, crashing his Corvette sports car, killing the waitress, who was ejected through the sun roof.

Adrienne Nicole Martin

Busch fled the scene of the crime on foot and was found 8-hours later at his home, covered in blood. He claimed amnesia regarding the accident. Later, police astonishingly and mysteriously, lost the evidence that was his blood samples and the case was dismissed.

In 1985 Busch engaged police in a car chase, after trying to run over two officers with his vehicles. Officer's pursued him in their vehicles and shot out his tires. When they found out the Anheuser heir was behind the wheel, they repaired his flat tires for him, which is extremely rare conduct from law enforcement. He was later acquitted in court, after claiming he thought the police wanted to kidnap him.

August Busch IV home in St. Louis, Missouri

In 2010, Busch and his staff waited 42 minutes to call 911, regarding his unresponsive girlfriend, 27-year old, Adrienne Nicole Martin, who lay dead in his mansion. Once again, the police acted suspiciously, keeping the incident quiet for four days, until it finally appeared in a local newspaper.

Busch's conduct and that of the local police does not look right in any measure. This marked the second time a young woman ended up dead in his company and once again, nothing has come of it, with a cover up ensuing.

In 2008, relative, Adolphus August Busch V, who was 17 at the time, was arrested for disorderly conduct caused by alcohol

August Busch IV, has been given much in life. It is time he makes the most of it and gives back to the community and the world. He cannot continue along this negative path, as it is self-destructive and promoting turmoil in his life.

FBI Left Disabled Woman As Abused Sex Slave For 18-Months


FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was alerted to the abuse of a very young, mentally disabled woman, at the hands of a sexual predator, by a hospital she was taken to for treatment in Missouri. She was being held as a sex slave, raped, electrocuted, suffocated and tortured in other horrible ways, by Edward "Master Ed" Bagley Sr., who broadcasted the nastiness on the internet, charging a fee to those that wished to watch the awful human rights abuses. He also took payment and gifts from men he knew that wished to rape and torture her as well. The indictment states he performed abortions on her as well.

Yet, according to a report on the St. Louis today website, it took the FBI 18-months to build a case, raid Bagley Sr.'s property and rescue the severely abused woman. Pictures the paper posted on September 10, 2010 seem to indicate the raid just took place this month. Why did the FBI leave her in that situation for such a long time. That is inexcusable. Why are they always doing things like this, which gives criminals the upper hand to abuse people for prolonged periods of time. Many victims of crime have died due to this abhorrent FBI practice. How do they sleep at night knowing they have left innocent people to suffer.

Disabled woman was tortured and held as a sex slave

A Kirkwood man arrested by the FBI on Thursday was one of four Missouri men who paid a fifth to either watch him torture a mentally disabled woman online or torture her themselves, prosecutors said. The 20-page federal indictment, unsealed with the men's arrests Thursday, contains accusations of sexual and physical torture lasting five years, acts that U.S. Attorney Beth Phillips called "among the most horrific ever prosecuted" in the Western District of Missouri.

The alleged torturer, Edward "Master Ed" Bagley Sr., 43, of Lebanon, Mo., tattooed the woman to mark her as his slave, convinced her that she was legally "bound" to him and threatened her, prosecutors said. He also is accused of forcing her to work as a stripper. Bagley tortured the woman for five years, until he induced a heart attack while suffocating and electrically shocking her on Feb. 27, 2009, prosecutors said. She was hospitalized. Her hospitalization sparked an 18-month investigation that led to the charges...

Bagley "beat, whipped, flogged, suffocated, choked, electrocuted, caned, skewered, drowned, mutilated, hung and caged" the girl "to coerce her to become a 'sex slave,'" the indictment says. It adds that he tied her up and hung her in the air, locked her in a dog cage and used staples, nails and a sewing needle and thread during torture sessions too violent to describe...Bagley also performed abortions on the girl, the indictment says...
