ok, so it gets even better than ccc's bungling beauracracy, mashpee/gm pow-wows for bingo at dinos,...how f###'d up is cc?

Oh, you stepped in it now Jeff...I only hope someone will listen this time.
Damn, though, i appreciate your guts!

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.

My, My, Mr. Blanchard ! You would think these headlines would be of interest, and certainly would appear in our trusted and always accurate CCT ! (Excuse me I just got sick) One has to wonder why this report or lack there of, may have been couched or "covered up" if thats the case. Its certainly newsworthy! Be careful Mr. Blanchard, but keep up the good work! Question, Are all um-marked police cars Crown-Vics? (Yea Right!)

Yo, Dog. Thanks for the heads up. And by the way, if you do any nail-banging, there is a home renovation project in Sandwich that could use some new guys...

Rumors around town suggest that the guns may have not had serial numbers and belonged to a former DA.

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,

You are my hero! The nerve he had calling CW names--people who live in glass houses.
Great job summing up this guy's record. Looks like someone else may be going down that slippery slope now. 'bout time.

internal affairs = all affairs remain internal

It's amazing that you can never reach anyone to confirm your stories. What, are you blogging here because the Enquirer isn't hiring?

Mind you, I think the DA is a jackass--I'm not defending him. But I'm just wondering, how do I get a blog? Looks easy. I just write some bunk then say I can't reach anyone for comment or confirmation. Easy as pie.

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?

welcome to the fold, eturnip, you're already on your way! and without having to circle the rotary...As to the question about the enquirer, between the anthrax, the CIA and their requirement to move to Florida, it just isn't in the cards...but thanks for the boost...

crusader, if I ever get baited into a chat about his hair, then it is I who should be strung up, tarred and feathered, for as much as his hair looks like it was coiffed by a diabetic dog, mine is kinda crappy looking too...

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.

Yes, that rug is bad, but it looks more like a really sh*tty PhotoShop job.

Jeff,

I guess if I was doing some investigative reporting, I'd ask the SPD if the guns were registered and to who. Yes, I said former "DA". Again, that was the rumor:)

Also, from what I understand, this did not happen in "recent weeks", but several months ago.

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.

What does the SPD have to say? They must have public records of the break-in.

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.

Wait, you are only against it when it comes to your precious McCowen, not when it's the DA or any other person on Cape Cod.

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.

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.

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.

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

Hey Cru, I'm gonna throw you a bone. If O'Keefe has recently changed homefronts, I betcha this has something to do with movers not builders/carpenters. And, Nancy Drew, who else in your favorite story has worked for a moving company?

Transfer of ownership of firearms....Huh! Last I knew this required some type of official document. Person to person with a form provided by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with appropriate licenses held by both parties involved in the transaction. Oh silly me, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I forgot who you were talking about here! Maybe the ATF would be upset, Oh, my bad again! I forgot about that connection too!

I truly wish I could share your faith in BG, but knowing what happened to his client Tony DeGrazia, the scapegoat in the New Bedford murders, does not allow me to enjoy same. now, if BG had cleared either of these guys before their lives were ruined/ended, it'd be a whole different ballgame...but all I see is a suit with an ATM machine inside, pro bono or not...oh, I know it drags on and maybe he'll get another day in court; that's the same day I will entertain a new opinion of him.

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?

C --
for all our sakes, especially CM, CW's daughter and legacy, I hope you are right, certainly I am rooting for you to be right...

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.

Thanks Jeff....sometimes I wish I was wrong. There are many that support your efforts. Please don't let this story disappear.

oh, c, i know watcha mean, i ALWAYS wish i were wrong, but once you land on this side of the great divide, there ain't no goin back...

Jeff,

I'd rather be here than over there--not enough showers can make this lot clean....there was a retired gent who sat in front of me at the trial and I'll never forget his words, "a case like this makes you realize how important it is to tell the truth"....he was kind, inquisitive, asking if I was a reporter...I said just an interested person, like many who followed the story. But his words spoke volumes. And with that goes the lesson of self-respect...when you lose that, you truly have nothing....and all the money in the world can't buy it back...doesn't matter who you are.

So, to answer my own rhetorical, what happens when the DA loses his guns? nothing. when the dr shoots her tape-measure monster? nothing. when the technology comes along to replace those belching smokestacks? nothing. when the FOLE (friend of law enforcement) shoots the man's face off? nothing. when the jury is racist and the suspect is free? nothing. when the "silly little" daily buries its head in the waterfront mung? nothing. when the agencies of government all go to seed at the same time? nothing. when the police and prosecutors start feeling a lot like the voldemorts of science fiction..nothing. it really is amazing that anyone pays taxes.

didn't mean to be unresponsive, c, yours slipped in during my rant. i should add, though, that I'm not only hopeful that change is coming, I honestly believe, like Bsweets tale of NJ cleansing, the day is not far off here, either...tick tock is what i say, C, hopefully you live inland too....

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.

i wish i knew her...feel some kinship from her pictures...and am a far sight from being persuaded that the man who would be her lover could be her killer...

without disputing the incompetency and corruption on cc, the 'facts' may be cw made a mistake and had sex with a 'buff' black trashman in her neighborhood who has extremely limited mental capabilities, and she then rejected him. hurt and angry, he and his equally demented white buddy had some fun with her. as cm put it, 'we put the boots to her.' then he wept in court as he was convicted for it. no conspiracy.

they are very competent at corruption

notsuchasurprise,whatasurprise--

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.

crusader,

He sure did have a way with the ladies. I think he had like 5 restraining orders against him. What a nice guy:)

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.

the problem ultimately, c, is that you dig so hard you always end up at one of your next-door neighbors, and who wants to know that much about your neighbors? the cop/guard with all serious "Mr." this and "Mr." that told me on the phone this afternoon he keeps his two jobs completely separate...he is not "on site" at the Ridge Club, his other job is irrelevant to the inquiry, all questions must be asked of Mr. O'Keefe, he won't say a thing about him...more later

do you get Vanity Fair? the current Nov 07 issue with camelot on the cover, pages 294-295, craning his head between Billary and the Gores, none other than an unidentified flying fed, John Connolly...how funny is that

Jeff,

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".

Jeff,

From what I understand from the rumors around town, the SPD investigated the break-in. You should consider going to the PD and requesting the police report. As far as I know, it's public record. Again, this happend a few months ago.

crusader, how do you know so much about CM? Have you ever met him?

Jeff,

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? Now I know why they invented video games....they hope we all just drone away into la-la-land. I wish I could stop paying taxes to cronies.

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

Jeff,

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...

Stop! Stop! What in the H-ll is going on here? OK, I get it, we all get it. Perception becomes reality, but please do not have dreams that drive your comments! Imagination is wonderul, creative thinking is enlightening, but purpose driven agendas are not fact finding. Everyone has a piece of the pie here, that is, you all know a little about the truth..Explore this, don't throw out what you are hoping for, or what you fantasize about, reach the truth by facts and statements like Mr. Blanchard does. You doubters question why don't you check with sources? The safest way for any agency or politician to table a matter is to not return a call or have no comment! Its a chicken S-it way of avoiding the truth. Common practice amoung the high and mighty. Why, because they make the rules, and you have to work around them. Or if you prefer, work against them! Make a phone call. These people are paid by you,and you have a right to know the answer to any questions you have. It doesn't matter DA or the Gov! Ask your question and demand an answer then report it!

Ok, tomorrow i'll go to the Truro police dpt. and ask them what happened to that $10,000 that went missing between 2002-2005. "yes, chief, i'd like to know what happened to that money."
It'll probably be time for me to go pick up the kids before he gets done laughing uproariously.(wow-haven't used that word ever!)

Coming to the end! As far as going to the PD, Why? The DA has to deal with the PD's on a daily basis. Do you think for one moment they are going to cooperate with anyone outside the inner circle? Come on, don't be nieve! If you have a crime, who governs the results or the investigation? (The DA's office and the PD) The truth resides in the souls of the honest ones that play the game to presrve thier futures, ask them!
The cops in the coffee shops, the cop you know who is a friend of a friend at a social gathering, the cop on the street that you see from time to time. They all talk to each other and they hear rumors and truths that are only discussed amoung themselves. Court, roll call, meetings on the road. Ask them, you know who they are. Time to mmove on, Can't wait for the results of the Highways Killings in New Bedford! What a joke that is, excuse me, the only joke there is the lack of the truth. Bridgewater is the base of all evidence there, and guess what? The pol's know it, but won't touch it! All for now..........capewatchdog

Your romantic whimsy is very creepy and makes it appear that your I.Q. may be as low as McGowen's. And since you claim to be far-sighted, do get a sound optometrist as well.

CW2, what was your point? I missed it…

who is we? what did you hear? what are his girlfriends' names? how much gov't support are they getting? how could this even occur? his charm? when/if i end up dead with an RO, i am to blame? but he was so, mmmm, buff, i deserved it. and how many other RO's did this one have? if you are a female, you must have a latent thing for male criminals. bake some cookies, get laid by one of them, and get over it. and then get your RO.

I'll "move on" when Chris is out of prison! Until then, all of you who dismiss everything...YOU are the reason all this rotten crap is allowed to contine over and over and over again.
Maybe someday you will feel the bite of that evil in yor life, and then you might sing a different tune.
And watchdog, believe it or not, many of us HAVE gone to any and all agencies, people, "good ones" we can think of, and gess what? It's still all up to the judge. Now, since he showed himself to be pro-prosecution from the start (my opinion),I geuss the only thing left to do is try to get public outrage in his face. But, no-one here is outraged...oh well, you're right...try and try again.

Maybe someone should start looking for robes in the attics....

So it's up to the judge, eh? That's comforting. Who is overseeing the judge? It should not be up to him to make this decision, he's part of the problem. He also presided over the Carbone case, another big surprise.

"We are fighting the devil, and the devil is the law."--M.Steck

bittersweet,

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.

btw,

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?

So, not only could your views be taken as racist, they are also sexist.

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander's......welcome to the 21st Century.

Wow, I think whatasurprise, might be pretty right on. Although, personally, I don't see the need to bring up the black/white thing because I honestly think that it is inconsequential. But I do think it goes a little deeper with the drugs. Those Truro folks love to gossip...

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'm beginning to realize that LE is not a separate entity as I thought--it's all muddy waters, you got your bad boys hiding behind a badge.

Cru, not black boots. Just boots. "Put the boots to" is a term gansta toughies like to use. Means kicked the sh*t out of. Gez, watch some Oz or something.

Jeff, you remind me of what Sparky Lyle said about an old Red Sox catcher, "He's not a great hitter, but he's a DANGEROUS hitter."
70 comments in one day on this post seem to prove the point. One assumes "The Michael's" toilet paper consumption is way up.
Keep up the bad work ;>)

.....I'm just wondering if guns were just part of this supposed robbery....the house was hit twice, hmmmm...interesting....wonder what they were looking for....

there was a BLACK BOOT/SHOE print left on the door, wolfram......as far as Oz...this ain't Kansas Dorothy....far from it...there's no place like home.

Cru, you are downright daft. I'm not talking about footprints. I'm talking about what McCowen said. You can "put the boots" to someone in whatever footwear you like.

Not that I want to get into it, but what with the steady stream of men Christa "allegedly" had, I'm sure one of them wore boots.

And as for Oz it's an HBO series about prison, you know, where your little pal is now...

Well, wolfram, I am talking about boots, since you brought it up, the print on the door, along with the print in the yard was casted never tested, nor compared to any suspects. 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.

I geuss they still don't get that the whole "confession" was a fantasy out of Mason, and possibly other le,or da's mind. None of it was true, and the jury so much as said so. And it is interesting that today on court tv, they were playing a taped interview between a police interrogator and a suspect. And the suspect said "you're putting words in my mouth." 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? That jury was hung, and the prosecution couldn't have that, so they "fixed" the outcome to suit their agenda. And dinner to answer sone nagging DOUBTS? What? This is crooked as they come.

sammy
not fisk, i hope, not that i didn't like him, but the implications vis a vis 1 ball or two, if that's not too insider

Stop arguing about this nonsense and go read my AOL Sports interview.

I might add that you should all be ashamed that a French woman had to speak that sentence here. It's like getting Scott Weiland to help you dry out.

you know what they say about nature abhoring a vaccuum. the problem with silence when a comment is called for is that it invites all sorts of nutty speculation...what is the real story behind these guns? did o'keefe take target practice? did he do it at the same range as Dr. Ex? did they stand next to each other? did they ever discuss her husband while shooting at paper targets? were the guns hers, and he had them for safe-keeping? were they his? why would the DA have unregistered guns? why would he store them in a place that was not secure? what is the proper protocol for reporting stolen guns that were illegally stored in the first place? how many guns? what kind of guns? is the best way to go here Shoot the Messenger? or is the best way to go here, find a new district attorney...? really, the only thing separating him from your average gangbanger is that he is the one who decides who the gangbangers are around here...

Jeff,

Wonder if one of the gun's belongs to someone else....or was used recently.....or maybe the guns were taken as an afterthought, but they were after something else....

Jeff,

Posted before I read your most recent entry. Maybe the site is getting heat from the Nazi LE. You know they got to keep their dirty laundry to themselves, while trying to throw everyone else who is innocent under the speeding trains.

LOL!!! You are what this site needs! I'm betting that the holy blogfather is counting the times your blog is read by the hour...enough of the other dribble by those who wish to suppress...you can't be nice to some people, they still come back, try & kick dirt in your face. Too bad, suck it up, time to take a hard look at this towelman & his brigage of pirates.

Wish BG had taken the gloves off at that trial, they need a good swift kick in the b*lls...

HA!so much for the great security in the DA's neighborhood. Notice how you aren't getting comments trying to deflect....none to deny this DA's reputation.

I heard that Dr. expects to get her license back, soon. Wonder...
how much that will cost. Is the M. Board willing to allow someone who is questionably unstable back in healthcare? But they need her $$$$$$$

Hey Crusader, Lotsa fun over at CourtTV...thanks...nice break from persistent thoughts of Michael O'Keefe's missing gun. Thing's turning into the Whitey Bulger of weapons...maybe there'll be a reward; $25 million For information leading to the recovery of the district attorney's unregistered, unlicensed, unsecured and so far unidentified firearm...psssst, whatever you do, don't tell US Attorney Michael Sullivan, because he thinks O'Keefe would make an exceptional US Attorney himself...

Jeff,

You were able to confirm that the
gun(s) were unregsitered and unlicensed?

Jeff,

You are too funny....I needed a little chuckle....those bird-brains are bringing this site down....or is it the DA who is bringing the Cape down, only they don't realize it, yet. Well too bad, change is overdue in that camp. Since Finneran has a second home on lower Cape, I wonder if he could investigate this case since he lives in the vicinity. I wonder if he knew CW? Maybe he would be concerned enough to get involved. Maybe he can ask JF's uncle a few things about it. You know since he's such a decent, law abiding, former speaker of the house, and all....maybe since GG admits to being a close friend of MO, they can have him join the airwaves....callers could ask what happened to those blue and white fibers...

..yes, it appears that Whitey's really not dead afterall, Jeff. I think his spirit lives on through those who have picked up where he left off.....

if it looks like a duck.....

Jeff,

Love to see him weasel out of this one....why on earth would anyone want to steal guns from a DA? That is too funny for words....if just some dumb*ss who wasn't thinking about who's house it was, or didn't know....but I think they did know, and probably knew what they were looking for as well...maybe the guns were an afterthought...or maybe it's blackmail....who knows, but what makes this guy think he can plead the 5th...(just what he's doing) like that
so called chief of Truro...who pled the 5th at the town meeting....LOL...since when is that done? Maybe the chief was sweating it out....feel bad for selectmen Lacy...his days must be numbered. Didn't anyone warn him who and what he was dealing with? He must be from out of town...poor guy, he has my sympathies....he calls the chief to the carpet, weeks later they dismiss the entire incident....and Lacy must have felt like roadkill on 6A....oh, well.

Jeff, can you find out how many officers left the Cape after CW was murdered? What is the turn over for LE on the Cape...those revolving doors...

I'm with you, C, the vibe is good. If he sees Christmas, it is because he knows really, really, really bad things about Bush, Kennedy, Sullivan, Delahunt and anyone else in a position to tell him his time is up. Bad things, beyond politics bad...otherwise, he doesn't make Thanksgiving...think about, C, trashes the victim CW, sends the wrong guy to jail because who cares, covers for Dr. Ex who shoots her hubby, and completely covers up the alleged theft of his own gun(s)? What a great country!?

crusader, that is the most illogical prose ever written.
ad nauseum is right. this is the blog where you are so desperately lonely or so over-medicated that you'll respond to bitter's need for gm, or is cm? whatever, all criminals in prison proclaim their innocence. what a joke.

It all makes sense now.

Mike, is that you? Nah, even you wouldn't hide behind the mask of anonymity and call people names to get your jollies off....you're no goat-diddling no-life tool of the Man who thinks he knows it all and can call people names and the run and hide...even you are better than that, right? Mike? Is that you? Nah. I'm guessing it's either a guard or a cop, but not you...Mike, say it ain't you....

Jeff,

guess we know why MO is still around........"I got the dirt on you, too" syndrome.

wrong on all counts. doj.

Jeff,

Maybe it's a bad boy cop from Truro who knows he's going to be tossed under the speeding train if things get too hot for porcupine hairpiece towelman.....they all learn who their friends are when it comes time to giving people up to save their own sorry a**es...you know Jeff, there are too many who fit the same MO, like MO, when you've got a place infested with such a high rate of--alcholism, drug addiction, divorce, infidelity, sexual deviants, sociopaths, megalomaniacs, schizophrenics, unemployed, anxiety ridden individuals, freaks, weirdos, hot tub fanatics....well anything is possible...what do you expect with this parade of degenerates?

I would think that shrinks could do a major case study on this place...think of the break throughs in research that could be accomplished with the number of study cases. A virtual Freudian paradise for psych grads hoping to figure out the treatments for one of the major issues--Oedipus Complex.....

jc, crusader, you are describing yourself...you are schizophrenic...take your meds and get off cctoday. NOW!

aurora,

you must know what I'm taking about otherwise you wouldn't write back. it's nice to see I still get the hate mail. wonder who in the courtroom made the statement, "that awful woman from the internet"....yes, I think I struck yet another salt crusted nerve....oh, how you can dish it out so well, but when you can't take it...one thing I will admit ...goes with the saying, "what doesn't kill me, will make me stronger"...well think about that.. do you have a degree in psychiatry? there are plenty of mentally deranged on that island. if you are a shrink, i suggest you start where you are and treat those poor folks before they do more crimes.

yes, indeed, those quotes are true ladies and gents.....sad, but the facts...this story won't go away until you come clean....but can you with a DA that is so "professionally challenged", as Michael Sullivan stated?

well, look on the brighside, you can just pack up the chevy as the ones who fled from your corrupt LE & DA, did after CW's death....head to the criminal compound in FL...with the rest of the dirtbags.

crusader,deltaman,monponsett, are one and the same, and it'd be so easy to name more of his drug-addled, alcholic rant-hate comments on cctoday's website. Waste your hate on some other space, dude, and let others blog/comment on real news, while you put them down. Yeah, le hater, in public safety 21 years, you've been called out. You are the misogynistic and racial MO.

How unhappy must someone be that they spend their entire lives dwelling on being a victim. It's all everyone else's fault. I think it's time for crusader and bittersweet to take a break, look in the mirror and face their demons. The "shtick" is just so yesterday.

Jeff,

Please don't give up on this...of course they will try every trick in the book to wear us down. Look what happened to the 3 jurors....can you imagine what happened to their lives over this trial? But how they avoid answering those valid questions....you don't play their sick games, you are tossed off the wretched island. Know that many are behind you. It's so easy for those running scared to call everyone crazy....but if you really think about it, we are not the one's who are the pimps, pushers, and pedophiles....and don't forget the profiteering pirates who are running the island of the insane...maybe for Halloween they can remain as they are....that is scary enough.

not to worry, C...not to worry; we're just warming up.

Warming up, huh Jeff? Watch out, those fires of hell burn pretty hot!!Devil's Sun Clique, anyone? (or is it cult?)
And there are many behind you, you can bet on that. Anyone who cares about justice and truth...you know, those ideals that get stomped on around here.

Proud Americans, my A$$.

Jeff,

You would think by now people should wise up to these low life bullies. Who are the landholders in FL? Maybe they should pull the financials on the porcupine and find out just how much he's got..compare that to his salary--BINGO!....what about some wire taps & a little PI work on him for a change of pace & for the rest of his cronies by those who are suppose to be incharge of justice, instead of jurors who were taped saying LE are stupid, yes & corrupt!... those 3 jurors were the only smart brave souls out of the bunch...but now they pay a price for standing up for justice.. strange the W family takes the jurors who voted to convict out to Cummaquid for dinner after the trial..what was in their exchange of emails? "Thanks for putting that blackman away....we get to sue for $10 million because we want money to hide our own dirty laundry"....It seems there more than a few benefitting from the drug trafficking on the island...too bad the AG won't do a background check on the people involved...wonder just what would come up?

Rumors surface of CW having a cocaine addiction and the "persons" of interest that took the stand....was there a drug connection to her murder? Did she owe money to a drug dealer or just have the dirt on those involved....and while we are on the subject of hot tubs, drug addictions, and promiscuous behavior....where did it all begin for Christa...as she ventured into the dark vortex....promiscuous girls or promiscuous boys....some videos that remind us of the Cape Cod underground that few wish to learn....

I think Nelly explains it best---

ww.youtube.com/watch?v=SIM4DCn7AlE

They want to build casinos....how about some rehabs for the Cape....I think they could use a few.....maybe there will be fewer crimes, deaths, and corruption....and less dubious characters weilding knives at tourists....does the DA care about cleaning up the Cape Cod drug problems? NO, NO, NO....
