What happens when the district attorney's home is burglarized?

Lawyers, Guns and Money
Michael O'Keefe's home has been robbed twice and among the items taken were several guns
 
By Jeff Blanchard
 
What happens when the district attorney's home is burglarized?
 
okeefe190_203_01Cape Cod is about to find out, because Michael O'Keefe's home has been hit twice in recent weeks, and among the items taken were several guns.
 
No one in authority could immediately be reached for a comment, not O'Keefe, nor Sandwich Police Chief Michael Miller, nor the head of security for the gated community in which O'Keefe has his home, the Ridge Club in Sandwich.
 
The security guard is also a police officer in Sandwich.
 
According to a longtime resident of the tony golf club, whose internationally famous residents include golfer Jane Blaylock and retired hockey bad-boy Derek Sanderson, O'Keefe's home was the site of separate break-ins days apart. It is unknown at this point whether the burglars were looking for something specific, and had to return to get it, or if they just decided that since they didn't get caught the first time, they'd do it again.
 
O'Keefe bought the course-front home a few years ago when he moved out of his house on Palamino Drive in Barnstable (a few doors away from the doctor who killed her husband in April, and received a clean bill of criminal health in August, with O'Keefe's grand jury determining that it was self-defense, because the deceased had thrown a tape measure at her and threatened her with further abuse). The home has undergone an estimated $100,000 in renovations since he moved in.
 
A rough few months for the gravel-voiced top-dog lawman
 
It has been a rough few months for the gravel-voiced top dog in Cape and Islands law enforcement, low-lighted by a Page 1 story in the Boston Herald that itemized his long ride on the campaign Gravy Train, which is the practice of using a campaign credit card for all sorts of seemingly unrelated political expenses, such as golf in Hawaii, meals in Naples, Florida, golf clubs, Bloomingdale's, and regular meals at Grill 16 in Barnstable, the eatery that Sanderson owned until it closed last summer.
 
Among the blemishes, O'Keefe has been forced to defend his office against charges of harassment, in Provincetown; favoritism, in the former doctor's "self-defense;" heavy-handedness, in the prosecution of a Barnstable cop whose car was hit by kids shooting paint guns; racism, in the prosecution of Christopher McGowen and not his white cohort; and arrogance, in choosing to ignore the public clamor for an explanation or at least an apology for his comments in a book about the Christa Worthington murder, in which O'Keefe questioned the slain fashion writer's abilities as a mother and homemaker, and more or less called her a slut.
 
It could not be learned whether the guns were reported stolen, but, by law, stolen guns must be reported, so presumably there must be a report, somewhere.

If you rob a house that has a gun collection, and you get away with the guns instead of getting shot.... well, while you can't actually admire the act... you can understand how the act would be viewed as impressive in certain circles.

good one, smitty, thanks for the tip...DA or ADA? i mean, there is only one former DA (for the Cape and Islands) the late Phil Rollins so that would narrow the field to the point of naming him...as for former ADA's, it's a wide open field...meanwhile, would you say that telling security is enough if security also represents the sandwich PD, or would you say that the homeowner has an obligation to public safety (and the law) to report this to the police department itself? if they were taken by guys doing work on his house and getting paid by a third party, strictly hypothetically, that would make the reporting a little more troublesome...which is the beauty of lawn enforcement on Cape Cod; who is guarding the guards? no one is guarding the guards. no one in all of america is watching over any of this, because here the law is the law, and there is no such thing as an internal affairs unit -- they are all internal affairs...

Jeff,

Have they dusted for prints or is the scene of the crime contaminated, like they claimed Christa's house was? Do they have any suspects? I wonder if it will take them 4 years to find one, then pin it on someone else, probably another black garbage man. What goes around usually comes back around....does this guy always have bad hair days?

Jeff,

Don't believe it--never could come close to that porcupine he's wearing....so who will head up the investigation on this one? Maybe Michael Sullivan could take a looksy..? Who is in charge, by the way? Martha? Can she pry herself away from sueing the glue factory long enough to investigate this guy who is suppose to be working as a DA....guess not...a real hot potato, obviously. No one wants to get their political hands dirty on this one. Good point about "the guards guarding the guards"....this is why there has been a problem for so long. And yes, it's everywhere, but unfortunately, Cape Cod is a microcosym and I think it's worse than anywhere else in Mass. mainly because of the height of arrogance by the DA and his rogues--and the level of discrimination that does exist on that island. The all inclusive group that allows no outsiders in--now we all know why.

Remind me not to buy a condo at the Ridge Club. Even with the DA living there, and cops as security guards, people are still being robbed.
When you have $100K worth of work done on your house, that means dozens of strangers on your property snooping around. Coulda been any one of them. Not some big conspiracy.

direct all questions to o'keefe, the security guy said a few minutes ago, not to me. just because he is both security for the ridge club and a police officer in sandwich, that doesn't mean he is able to discuss the theft of several guns from a residence under his dual jurisdiction...well, if that don't beat all...what a nice, tidy little world we are paying for down there in sandwich. DA gets a discount home in a gated community, gets some free renovation work and then has his guns stolen by someone who can't get in trouble because the security firm and the police department are both controlled by the "victim," the DA himself...it's just, just...breathtaking...

and the last time i tried to ask o'keefe anything, his gatekeeper told me, "Mr. O'Keefe has no interest in speaking with you," which I took as a forever kind of thing...so in every reference heretofore, when the subject is O'Keefe and the line I use is "could not immediately be reached for comment," that's the back story on that.

Jeff,

Until someone comes forward to dispute the facts of your story, I'd say it must be true. Of course they won't release this information--remember censorship reigns on CC when it comes to airing their dirty laundry. He controls the press on the Cape, too, who are they kidding? Give us a break. No, I think that hair is the real thing....maybe it's a reaction to stress...the photo of him and Mason on another blog (about the kayak drowning)was pretty bad too,...he needs to find a new barber...among other things. Keep the stories coming, Jeff. Job well done, as always. Nice to see someone else telling it like it is. Don't forget how he shared pretrial evidence with that writer during the McCowen trial. Don't DA's get disciplinary action if they cross the line? Again, were is Martha in all this? There is a higher power that is suppose to oversee DA's isn't there? Cape Cod may be an island, but it's still attached to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, last I checked.

Crusader, this sounds a lot like guilty until proven innocent and surely, a champion of justice such as yourself would be against such a thing.

10/17/07 @ 12:33 pm
crusader [Member] writes:
Jeff,

correction: DA shared pretrial evidence & photo's --4 years before trial, plenty of time to create all kinds of problems. Where do I begin?

TA--portrayed as major suspect, everyone learns confidential information regarding the crime scene, location of stab wound, etc.,DA's opinion of the victim shared with the writer (I think MF had her own reasons for bashing the victim) when he was suppose to be looking for her killer, instead he states his macho-derogatory insults about a woman who was brutally killed. Those comments clearly showed what this guy is made of--once a rogue cop, always a rogue cop. His followers do the same. Disrespecting a victim as DA is inexcusable. BG didn't have to say one word about CW's personal life, the DA & writer sealed it. So, it's similar to your story about the 11 women murdered, who cares, right? That is what they planned. It didn't just happen. You portray a victim less worthy, this is the outcome, & the black trashman who was her new lover that no one could accept. That is the real story no one wants to hear.
10/17/07 @ 12:38 pm
wolfram [Member] writes:
Okay, crusader, we've heard your "the trashman is innocent" diatribe ad nauseam. Enough. Commenting about it over and over on unrelated blogs ain't gonna set the guilty guy free.
10/17/07 @ 12:48 pm
crusader [Member] writes:
This is not "unrelated", we are talking about the DA & his reputation--not looking too good, heard from Michael Sullivan who said, "MO is professionally challenged"...well there ya' go, what more do you need to hear. It's obvious no matter what this DA does he will always have a brood on CC who will defend him.

Chris McCowen had no motive to kill Christa W. I believe they were lovers for some time, this was a crime of passion. The DA stated that & was quoted by the writer. The knife wielding suspect has been let off the hook because of connections, that was painfully obvious to those of us who sat & watched this corrupt trial sentence an innocent man to life in prison without chance of parole. You tell me why a former firefighter who shoots a man in a parking lot is acquitted! There is no justice on Cape Cod for those who are vulnerable to a bunch of arrogant rogues--CM was in the wrong place at the wrong time, he was the perfect patsy, all they had to do was wait it out. I hope BG gets his chance to show CC what justice really is about.
10/17/07 @ 12:48 pm
Jeff [Member] writes:
wolfram, as for guilty until...I'm sure you can appreciate the inner beauty of this story, that it's not in the first instance a reflection of O'Keefe's guilt (that only comes later when he buries the report and is said to own guns with no numbers, thus presumably also with no registrations). no, in the first instance he is the victim, so it's really not presumptuous at all to report the story that he has been victimized; it only turns into an indictment of the man once you realize why he didn't report the theft, or, if he did report it, why it never saw the light of day...why he won't talk about it, why the SPD chief won't talk about it, why the security guy won't talk about it...don't you see Wolfram? If it hadn't happened, there's four people who know it did who have not bothered to deny it...dr. ex all over again

Jeff,

I understand your concern, but I do believe that BG, because of his vast experience & of who he has defended over the years, is really the best man for the job. Who's knows LE & crooks better? I think he believes CM is truly innocent & that is why he took on the case. But he probably knows he screwed up. First, he should have never trusted the DA would play fair; next blunder was not putting those 10 witnesses on the stand. "lives ruined".....too bad, they made their beds now it's time to lose more sleep on it. What about the other lives ruined? BG also said that CC could never handle a second trial--no kidding. The chamber of commerce can't handle the lack of revenue once the visitors learn about the crap that goes on--it's has crime, corruption & cover-up like everywhere else in America. Only difference is the beaches hide all the scum that would otherwise show in daylight. And those seeking profits over a dead woman, that's one of the saddest aspects of this tragic story. BG is one of the best lawyers around, everyone makes mistakes.

Did you hear about what's been going on in New Jersey? 100's of officials are being indicted and convicted on corruption, bribery, obstruction of justice, etc. I'll bet the old bag of tricks here on Cape Cod is just as bad. For all you disbeliever's, suppose a selectman had "lost" $10,000 of town money, and then pleaded the 5th-meaning to speak would be to criminally indict himself. Would you all be so cavalier then? Suppose you knew without a shadow of a doubt that someone had been framed to further the political and proffesional career/s of public officials? Would you just accept it? Cause, all the "players" in that Worthington case have had their lives up-graded after that sham of justice. Welsh is now a judge (god forbid), lying trooper Mason (my opinion) is now sargeant, and Nickerson still collects his huge salary with pension and benefits. ALL after taking part in a frame-up and rail-roading of an innocent person. (My opinion)
Cause i have a strong hunch that "missing" money was used to "fix" this case. And before you say Prove it-why don't they prove they didn't?

quahog8,

Yes, I thought the same, pretty risky & stupid thing to do if it's who we think it is..history of B&E's, believe the moving co., drugs too. Maybe someone should check under the hood. I hear that PM's book is due out in Feb. 08'..I don't like to see more profits made off a dead woman who had her life strip away at the young age of 46, but maybe he will shed more truth to what really happened to Christa because that other writer certainly did just the opposite, for her own gains. Some people should know their boundaries when they write about true crime. I'd say she did more damage than good with that book...you wanna talk about lives ruined, ask the people she wrote about...& how she slanted her story to suit her own purpose. I hope the truth comes out about who she really is & her role in this because it was not a story about Christa as much as it was about her jealousy. Too bad the other female writer from the Cape didn't get the chance to write that book, maybe we would have seen a different outcome. Don't think towels would be involved.

Jeff,

Most of what I gathered was based on hunches & my own experiences of being an outsider, no fun being in a place that can't appreciate progression that cityfolk bring--no bulldozing, just some smarts. There's more corruption than you know, not just within the justice system down there. So you have but one choice, become part of the scum or quit. In the end, I took the high road leaving all behind.

I'm reminded of the CTV black female lawyer, who said, "why can't the people of CC accept that maybe she (CW) was seeing the black trashman? Have you seen some of these trashmen...they are buff...so why is it hard to accept"....we know the answer, Jeff. Lilly White WASPY whaling community ain't having that, & her cousins...more stone throwers..."my cousin wasn't too discriminate about her men"..please. CW made bad choices, I'll say that much, but who are they to talk, as far as CM goes, the only baggage there was what was hauled away on trash day. The women were jealous of her-she had what they couldn't have; good looks, educated & desired.

Your comment is rooted in racism, not the circumstances of the crime. Some didn't like CW sleeping with the blackman, got rid of both- for the same reasons--they knew too much? That came from Mason--about the boots,not CM. He cried because he was going to jail you fool--JF pinned it on him. Why no taped interview, eh? Something to hide? The cops COULD have taped him, but CHOSE NOT TO. So we are all to believe this was just a series of blunders--DON'T THINK SO. Smart enough to cover this up, made it look like something it's not.

CM had a way with the ladies, at least they were both SINGLE! Maybe the white CC men can't handle the fact that a white woman, educated, wealthy, & desirable would sleep with a trashman. Well, I would wager to say it goes on more than you are willing to believe! Narrowmindedness should be banned. There is a free society beyond your world of dancing fiddler crabs & clam bakes. CW's granny saw Paul Robeson--jazz & actor. What is so hard to c-o-m-p-r-e-h-e-n-d? That CC harbors racism.

Jeff,

Was a claim made to the insurance co. for the stolen guns? Did these guns have serial numbers? Unregistered? Why not a report filed? Many who wear more than one hat, they like to cover all the bases. The security guard is also a Sandwich cop? Why am I not surprised. Is that like the Truro cop who is also a lobster scrubber? Or the cousin of CW-screenwriter who lied to HBO-Truro PD dispatcher & EMT & is also a selectwoman. Conflict of interest? Especially when chief was in the hotseat? And works for OCHS along with uncle who is on BOD. Why hire anyone else, when just a few self-elected can run the entire island?

If the guns were unregistered, lacking documentation, missing numbers, what were they used for? Were they taken off suspects & made into a private collection? You say that he had renovations he didn't pay for--maybe some bartering or bullying? So how does a story like this get squashed? It happened on Cape Cod, like all the rest of the stories that get buried in the migrating sand dunes only to be exposed, someday, maybe.

Smitty,

I suggest next time you have nothing better to do, which is probably tomorrow, go spend some time at Barnstable Probate & District Courts off Cape, too. There are abused men in these stories too--some women like to retaliate for whatever reasons; new lover, money, revenge, etc. A local judge made a fatal error which cost a woman & her unborn child (8 mos. preg.)her life--he did not grant her a RO against her abusive husband who ran her down with his car. That judge was dragged through the media for months. I'm certain he had since granted orders to all women who entered his courtroom seeking an RO, after his mistake, but who knew. I believe that if someone wants to kill someone bad enough, nothing will stop them. We heard by several people that CM's girlfriend's used the RO's to gain financial support from the state. Does his rap sheet list assaults, weapons? No, it lists B&E's in FL. Can't say the same about other's rap sheet can you? Bilbo's party, the tourist held at knife point--bells should be ringing by now, more like sirens.

Yes, I agree, what can I say, my passions fly when I have to answer to the same ignorant comments made about that case & trial. I just feel it's important to bring up ALL that the DA is responsible for--CM's fate, CW's reputation, it remains a case unsolved. Dr.'s G's case. Carbone case. How many others we don't know about? The injustice doesn't stop here until something is done at the top. Career advancement, based on number/type of convictions, not who is guilty and who is innocent. Until you see the bigger picture, you can't understand the magnitude of this atrocity. Some of this is due to a place of disconnection; lack of services, unemployment, alcoholism & drug addiction. That's the beginning of the slippery slope. Maybe if they can fix that, the rest can be repaired.

Like my Boston defense lawyer friend said, "they protect their own while sending innocents to jail".

Don't get Vanity...read today that judge denied the appeal and JC's lawyer saying his client is innocent. What? How stupid was that remark? After all we know about JC?

Ok, I would like to ask all you guys out there if you seriously believe that CM would kill a woman because she rejected him sexually? Seriously! Would you?? Then what in the hell makes you think he would? What?
And shhhhh,keep this quiet, but SHE asked for the tree to be removed, didn't she? She knew it would be CM coming to remove it, didn't she? It was on record that he went there to remove it. Yet, the tree was never removed. Now, geee, what do you think they did instead? Maybe had sex like he said. And Maybe that was the end of his involvement with her.
And maybe this whole thing was such an easy fix that the "defenders of justice" (ha!) couldn't resist. And look, now Welsh is a judge and Mason a Sargeant. How nice. That's how you move up the ladder in the system of just-us. Now they both get the cushy pensions and overtime, and access to all the frigging drugs they could ever imagine. And I only say that because of the DARE officer at Nauset High who had to resign because he was a COCAINE addict!!! So, excuse me for the anger, but people who have so much power shouldn't abuse it

Don't go to PD, send a goffer. In 05' when I wrote my first CW blog, Gadfly told me to meet MO in person, & he was such a nice guy. Yeah, right! Be careful not to fall into the snakepits, Jeff.

Smitty:

I listen to people who know him, like his employer, the owner of the trash company that was sued by TW, (who love's the heroin addicted call girl, btw, so which is more believable- CW & CM or TW & BP? You tell me.)

Horton said people on CM's trash route liked him, he was a good worker, they baked him cookies. Wonder how many cookies got baked for...? And letters of support on CTV by CM's friends & family. Other people who know him say he's incapable of this crime-TRUE. DNA is not the BE ALL. It prove sex-not murder. All evidence should have been examined & WAS NOT. Why? More blunders? Don't buy it. Cover-up, I buy. Why & by whom, we don't know all the facts. Maybe if those blue & white fibers had been examined, we would know. Maybe if more was entered we would have the answers. Maybe if more were forced on the stand...

And why did they wait so long to find CM, when BG said "PD knew EVERYONE who was at her house, electrician, who removed her cherry tree....."

CW's murder happened on MO's clock. He dragged this case on forever. I don't buy that they didn't have a clue who did it. They want people to believe they live in the dark ages on CC only when it suits their own corrupt purposes.

Notice after he is re-elected, suddenly they find CM! What-da-ya-know-about that......

Is this like when we are having a war and we don't change presidents?

I want to know why it took them 4 years to find Chris McCowen....he remained on the Cape the entire time, working and living with his girlfriend. Let the facts speak for themselves. This case is not going to ever go away until justice is done and that DA has much to answer to the public who pay his salary.

Just want to restate this if not clear in my previous post:

You who doubt the relationship between CM and CW, ask yourself this:

Why are you willing to believe that a Harvard educated attorney, who once held position of assistant to district attorney during Gov. Cellucci period, and later had a law practice, continues a long-term relationship with a heroin addicted hooker from Quincy?

Why is it not believable that CW could take a walk on the wild side like daddy-o?

And sorry, but the "put the boots to her" has always stuck with me. The cops didn't make McCowen say that. He said that is what he did. Even if he claims little Jeremy did the crime, he most certainly gets the assist on this one.

Black boots are worn by LE....those guy were wearing sneakers that night seen in that video at the juice bar.....remember? I believe it happened on Saturday when the black van driver was seen bolting out of the driveway.

CM had no motive, no prints found, he did not flee, but remained on the Cape all that time. Someone set him up. They needed to pin this on someone else, bottom line. You can choose to remain in the dark all you want and pretend that Cape Cod is only sandy beaches--but there is a subculture that you don't want to see, yet does exist.

I know that cops wear boots, statement made by a local, who is a town official, there is a certain Truro cop who refused to be DNA tested. Why do you suppose that is? Like a friend of mine who lives in close proximity to CW's home said, "when they test the Truro PD, I'll consider getting tested". I don't care what the MSP or local PD had to say, BG caught them in lies more than once on the stand along with the person of interest, who claimed, "MSP told me what to say"....as far as the Oz show, I don't relish the fact there are people in prison, so I wouldn't watch it...I'm talking about the Oz in your own backyard with all those evil monkeys you allow to break the law and there lack of accountability due to connections to the force....Dorothy may be naive, but she knew enough to look behind the curtain and exposed the wizard and his deception.

And you could hear the kind of manipulating and twisting of words that the cop was doing. They are trained in this, as they are trained to lie on the stand. Why is everyone ok with that? The many people she slept with, the black boot print, the car at her house on saturday...who was that, and why were they there??? The fact that Frazier and Mulvey were "allegedly" overheard making up their alibi's, Frazier, drunk and "allegedly" saying he got away with murder.....and still this is not enough for reasonable doubt?

Great reporting crusader. Maybe she was killed for not paying up on some drug deal. Then, they took CW's DNA and put it inside her to make it look like the black guy did it. Brilliant!

BG should have brought out her personal story out at trial & ALL involved..but all we heard was 4 yrs. prior from your DA with mixed up priorities, calling her...."a pig, equal opportunity player..blah, blah, blah.." he was the one saying bad things about a victim he was supposed to defend...he clearly is without a moral & professional ethics compass.

Yes, crusader, the one that got to me the most was the father going to probate for her property the day after she was found. That to me was really kind of heartless. Cold-blooded if you will. And I would like to add to those who say CW was such a wonderful person...maybe to them she was, but probably not to the wives whose husband's she was involved with. 2 of which were written about, one of those actually confronting CW, and getting into a "heated discussion" with her about it. So, don't re-write history to manipulate perception.
This whole mess was a sordid, unethical affair. And CM got
caught up in the middle of it because he slept with her. And the dna was too good for the cops and the DA not to run with. Once they had that, all they had to do was fix everything else up to suit it. imo.
So, yeah you are right crusader...no-one in this crime is an angel. And the worst ones are those who pretend that some of them are!
And no-one here is an angel either. silence=complicity=the continuation of a terrible injustice.

Crusader, Why would you expect the Worthington Family to sue the DA(Gov)? That is an excercise in futility when the bigger pie was Cape Cod Disposal Co. 10M wrongful death lawsuit.(Settled very quietly) )Much easier ,greater success rate , to sue a private company than the The DA's Office.Interestingly, the Attorney ,Christopher Tennyson Jr,was retained(as counsel for the estate of Christa Worthington) by her father who is the administrator of the estate.) What would be very interesting to know is "How got what?" Hopefully ,the survivor(her daughter who had the greatest loss) was the sole beneficiary.What I find so disturbing is that so many people profess to know who really killed Christa Worthington and talk about it freely in the confines of the "Outer Cape".It is all well and good for some of you to post your comments such as B/sweet & Crusader(and you don't always make good points)and the opponents of them who attack, (you all do not always make good points either all the time)But, Many profess to know Who really killed Christa Worthington.,and this is not IDLE CHATTER.

I know deep down that you will agree with me that,opinions ,personalities,etc aside, if one is a moral, law abiding Christian and one knows a truth,one must come forward. It is the right thing to do.After all, we raise our children to believe this, we have embraced our constitution and abide by this, we pray in Church for forgiveness for our errors,when we do not do the right thing,Why is this any different?

legaleagle1,

If CW's father was a good man, he would have addressed those comments made by the DA & writer who distorted facts in the book, for many to read, before the trial. I would have more respect for the man if he had made a public statement to the DA--that what he did was not only wrong, but professionally unjust. The DA showed prejudice against the victim he was suppose to defend. DA's don't do that, do they? There is so much more the public does not know about the motives the writer had in the way the book was written--all to sway the blame on Tim Arnold, & away from the real culprits. I believe she knows, that's why she became skinny as a rail at the trial, sick looking, with her head in hand most of time, worried about taking the stand. Maybe my approach is not so subtle & a bit of shock therapy (videos) maybe just what this island of misfits, & blind leading the blind, needs, a good wake up call. CW was not without fault, but didn't deserve that horrific fate & what questions will her daughter ask one day & how will they be answered....

If Tim Arnold has not sued that writer yet, I hope he does. I don't believe he had anything to do with the murder, but someone wanted to pin it on him, & it wasn't just the cops. I tell you there is more the public does not know about this story, but unfortunately, they all have to live with each other, right? So why make waves, let it go, you say. Well CW is not here to defend herself. But I wonder just what she would have to say about everyone in this story? I'm sure it would be enough to make your hair stand straight up --mohawk style. McCowen is innocent. He deserves to have his freedom. What a terrible injustice & an island of stone that tries hard to wash this guilt away like the retreating tide....she will never rest until the real killers are brought to justice, & neither will those of us who really care.

He has had a relationship for many years with a woman of questionable credentials,he has resided in housing that does not measure up to the family standards,so why would you expect him to respond as a "Patriach?" Don't analyze this, Focus on all that know who really killed Christa Worthington and the cover-up, because that is all that is really important.The rest are Props!

legaleagle1,

agreed...my point--there was never enough empathy for the victim in this case due to the heavily negative comments made by the DA and the public deserves to know why...because it's my opinion, once we know all the facts...the real killer will be revealed. We have only been provided with what the DA wanted to feed the public, as in the Lancaster and Carbone case. This is an outrage of injustice and should be corrected. How many more injustices have to come along before change is made in that DA's office? People who never lived there really have no idea what goes on....

"we do not watch or have any interest in Cops" you say? Who is WE and what is that suppose to mean???? Ill bet youre a big fan of "Wife Swap" though, huh? Thanks for the laugh, your posts sure do give me a chuckle!

I really don't know what "rumours" You are talking about...the information is out there, and it's either true or it isn't. Now, we know that Mason's testimony isn't true, because the jurors said they didn't believe it. A phone call from the Yarmouth Police Barracks to a local thug and Mason and Burke know nothing about it? Or anyone else for that matter? Aren't those calls recorder? An inmate in lock-up makes a call with a cell-phone? To a person on a jury? HUH?
Those are just a tiny fraction of the ??'s about this frame-job.imo.
And whatever happened to that guy David Murphy? You know, the murderer who was let out of prison and somehow ended up working at Magnum Moving? Don't they do background checks?
What is this Thugs-Are-Us? And don't kid yourselves either...people were threatened in a very serious way--told to keep their mouths shut. I believe that. And why did those 3 jurors pull up all their stakes and leave? Leave their homes, why? Something awful must have happened to them because they saw the horrible injustice that went on here. And you all condone it. Shame.

Here is another FACT just for you; I have not stated my opinion on guilt or innocence. I was not present at the murder scene. Had I followed the trial in person, I would have made an opinion on the FACTS presented in the trial.

The comments you continually spew on the case, is simply blogarrhea.

When you actually do know something we don't, and can back it up with FACTS as in proof, by all means BS, do tell the world.

FACT: There was no evidence of CM at the crime scene...no footprints, fingerprints, hair follicles, whatever else they find. His dna was discovered years later due to what he says was a consensual encounter.
FACT: On this, they arrest him, wherby the charges BECOME rape, burglary and murder.
FACT: A picture goes up all over the Cape showing CW with a line diagonally crossed over her face and the words "Case Solved" underneath her picture...and this is BEFORE the trial.
As for the trial itself,the FACT is the jurors said on Dateline that they did not believe Mason's testimony, and they convicted solely on the dna. FACT: They did not believe CM and CW had a consensual sexual encounter. So, you have to ask, WHY? And where is the proof of rape?
FACT: Over a year ago, some further dna was sent to be analyzed, and the results have yet to be returned. A poster on court tv put it like this: (paraphrasing) If the dna on her leg is the same degraded sample as inside her, then how would it have leaked out had she been raped and murdered?It came out because it had already been there.(thurs)

After the verdict, three jurors filed affidavits in a defense motion seeking, ultimately, a new trial for McCowen, who is black. The three jurors claimed that during deliberations, a white female juror said she was afraid of McCowen because he was "big" and "black," according to affidavits.

At least one other similar comment was allegedly uttered in reference to injuries Worthington sustained. Bohanna also said that a white female juror "had been making snide remarks about my 'cornroll' hairstyle during the case and also questioned my educational background during deliberations, both of which I considered to be racist comments," she wrote.

At least one juror's alleged comments illustrated the complexities of racial identity on the Cape. Eric Gomes, the only other apparent minority on the jury, is Cape Verdean and appears black. But he allegedly said that "his brothers' wives were white, that he has always been around white people and that he did not like blacks because 'look at what they are capable of,' " according to the affidavit of another juror, Rachel Huffman

Enough?

Mav,

Thank you for your words of reason--much needed for all, including myself. My words of disgust and heavy handed criticism come from my years of frustration watching this "cover-up" of a brutal murder, and unjust sentencing of an innocent man. I wasted 5 long years searching for a job that matched my skills--all I got was overworked, underpaid and discriminated upon because I was not from the island. In addition, I was harassed by some because of my first blog of Christa. Is this not still a democracy, where people have a right to voice their opinions? I guess not. There should be boundaries when it comes to criticism--vulgarity by others should not be tolerated on this site, but for some reason is allowed. Saying that bitter and I must have "diddled" CM is going too far, and using references to Charles Manson is also going too far.
Someone once said, "for every rumor, there is always a seed of truth". Maybe you don't like to hear these rumors, well frankly neither do I, but sometimes rumors need to be investigated--so far they haven't been denied.

Cru, the fact that you are allowed to spew your half-baked paranoid pontifications on this website is proof that there is no conspiracy to keep you and your cohorts quiet.

The reason people disagree with you is because you insist on portraying Cape Cod as the only place on the planet where there might be police corruption or an innocent black man might be in jail.

These things are true everywhere in the USA to some extent.

I'm sure you would be happily employed here on the Cape if we had 14 major universities, none of whom have to be accountable to market realities or show a profit.

I worked in academia for two years and found it to be full of babies in a bubble, whining about how unjust it is that NFL players get paid more than they do.

I suppose it's an okay ride while it lasts, but the real world, which you claim to know so well, it ain't.

You should be careful what you say about the universities that provide assitance & jobs on Cape Cod, ie. your coastal habitat, wind farm, etc. I find it demoralizing to work for people who only look at the bottom line, while employing slave labor. Many would agree with me, again, that is why most are self-employed, or travel to Boston, RI, at 5am...they don't want to work for Cape Employers you boast about.

I realize crime/corruption are everywhere, but there is more acceptance of diversity elsewhere.

The fact remains: Your DA shared PRETRIAL evidence, photos with writer, while degrading the victim (CW) he was paid to protect & defend. Taxpayers are fed up, but most choose to rebel in silence because we all know the price for speaking out.

Maybe instead of taking cheap shots at us, you can explain the blue & white fibers untested, & the rest your law enforcement has covered up. Why not ask Marilyn Miller of the Cape Codder what story she tried to print & was disallowed. This was posted on crimenews by someone who works as a town official.

I'm still looking for the evidence that sent this guy to jail. 1st degree murder with no evidence of motive, 1st degree rape with testimony from an expert that claims there was no evidence of rape or forced sex and McGowens claim that it was consensual and 1st degree burglary when nothing of hers was found in his possession or connected to him. The jury clearly waa bias in what I have read and that opens the case for a retrial. Hopefully, that's when George will open this pandoras box he's mentioned in the past to expose all the corruption behind this mess.
