“Homeless Man Served “13 Of 25″ Years For Stealing Food”

The ReadyWriter

Gregory Taylor (Pictured here wiping his tears), served 13 years behind bars for breaking into a church kitchen trying to find something to eat. This man became an example of California’s harsh three-strikes law but has been ordered released from prison.

A Superior Court judge amended Gregory Taylor’s sentence to eight years already served and the 47-year-old, who was sentenced in 1997 to 25 years to life, will be a free man in a few days.

Taylor was arrested in July 1997 while trying to get into the kitchen of St. Joseph’s Church in downtown Los Angeles. He told officers that he was hungry.

The church’s pastor, the Rev. Alan McCoy, testified at the original sentencing that Taylor was often given food and allowed to sleep at the church. The priest described him as a peaceful man struggling with homelessness and crack addiction.

Taylor was convicted of third-strike burglary due to two robbery convictions in the 1980s, once for stealing a purse containing $10 and another time for trying to rob a man on the street. He didn’t use a weapon in either case, and no one was injured.

The three-strikes sentencing policies of the 1990s “produced inconsistent and disproportionate results,” the Judge said.

Taylor was taken back into custody and will be released when his paperwork is completed in the next two days.

I hope Gregory will get himself together and launch a lawsuit against the State of California, for their misappropriated actions of the law!

“Man And Woman Stoned To Death For Having An Affair”

The ReadyWriter

A man and a woman who allegedly committed adultery, were stoned to death in a village controlled by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The barbaric act is the latest in a string of archaic sentences handed down by the Taliban, which practices a strict adherence to Islamic law.

The couple, both in their 20s, had their hands tied behind their backs and stood in a field; as several people among 100 local villagers threw rocks at them until they died.

The man, 28, was married, while the woman, 23, was engaged. The couple allegedly confessed to having had an affair with one another.

Wow! I guess all of the adulterers in the United States should be lucky that this isn’t the law of this land. Even a stoning by “tongue lashing” is less painful I’m sure.

Ekeythia Dunston (right) shot Erica LeGall (left) during a fight that was sparked by a text message.

An off-duty cop fired two rounds into her girlfriend early Monday after a suspicious text message sparked an all-out battle between the pair.

Ekeythia Dunston, 32, and her 42-year-old partner, Erica LeGall, had returned to their Harlem home from a night out on the Circle Line, when Dunston, a police officer for eight years, received a text message from another woman about 3:15 a.m., and all hell broke loose.

LeGall grabbed a clothes iron and smacked Dunston upside her head, leaving a “tennis-ball-sized welt” indented in her head, then Dunston grabbed her pistol and shot LeGall once in the thigh and once in the shoulder.

LeGall was taken to Harlem Hospital, where she was in critical but stable condition. She was charged with assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Both of the women’s children were in the home at the time of the incident.

Dunston, who works out of the 108th Precinct in Long Island City, was treated for her head injury at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia.

She was arrested and charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and suspended without pay.

Wow!!! These lovers are not playing when it comes down to their partner (s) cheating in these relationships!! This drama is some real, ride or die shit!

A flight attendant was arrested yesterday after he queened out on a Jet Blue flight, cursed the passengers, popped the emergency chute, launched himself down the chute and fled the airport in his car.

Steven Slater, 39, was arrested at his Queens home and charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and criminal trespass, according to the Queens District Attorney’s Office.

Slater was upset over being accidentally hit in the head with a falling bag following a dispute with an airline passenger.

According to passengers, Slater got on the intercom and said, “I’ve been doing this for twenty years and I’m out of here.”

The FAA is investigating the incident, although they claim none of the passengers were in danger.

The used emergency chute will cost the low-budget airline $50,000 to replace.

Wow! What a way to quit your job.

“CT. KIller’s Girlfriend Shows Guilt”

Cops wanted Kristi Hannah to identify the blonde, shown on video tape receiving stolen beer from Omar Thornton.

Thornton who worked for the beer distributor, was confronted with that video tape with a choice to; resign or be fired. Thornton commented on the good quality of the video, chose to quit, then opened fire on his boss and co-workers with two 9mm pistols from a red metal lunchbox; before killing himself.

The video tape was shot in recent weeks after Thornton came under suspension for stealing beer from the distributors and selling it to a third-party. The company hired a private investigator and their suspensions were confirmed when the investigator caught Thornton on videotape handing off stolen beer to a woman.

Thornton had told Hannah, relatives and cops in a final 911 call that he was the victim of racial harassment at the company. Hannah said Thornton showed her cellphone photos of racist graffiti in the company men’s room.

But Hartford Distributors and the Teamsters union local that represented Thornton said, “He never made such a claim to them during his two years on the job.” State and federal agencies said, “They had never received a claim of racial bias against the company.”

Hartford Distributors owner Ross Hollander yesterday said, “When Thornton was hired, he “was embraced as a member of our team, and judged purely on the merits of his work performance.”

“Based on credible third-party information, we conducted a fair and thorough investigation, which provided conclusive evidence that Omar Thornton was systematically stealing from the company and selling to third parties”.

“It was this conduct that led to the disciplinary proceedings on Tuesday morning.”

In the meantime, I think Kristi Hannah might be afraid she’s the blonde on the tape.
