Ex-jail guard gets 100-year sentence in drug killing

Ex-jail guard gets 100-year sentence in drug killing Chicago Tribune By Carlos Sadovi January 11, 2007 A former Cook County correctional officer was sentenced Wednesday to 100 years in prison for the 2002 killing of a man from whom he was attempting to collect a drug debt. John LaValle, 37, was convicted by a jury in October for killing Jeffrey Smith, 22, at his home in the 1400 block of North Lotus Avenue. Prosecutors said during his trial that LaValle, who was an officer in a medium security wing of the Cook County Jail, was working for drug dealers who ordered him to collect a $70,000 debt from Smith's father. But LaValle testified during his trial that he went to Smith's home to provide security for two men who were collecting money from someone at the home. LaValle, of Orland Hills, said that he did not know he was accompanying the men to collect a drug debt. LaValle said in his testimony that he fired a single shot from his gun only after Smith came out of his house with a machine gun and opened fire on him. Before sentencing, Cook County Criminal Court Judge Marcus Salone said he did not believe LaValle's testimony, said Assistant Cook County State's Atty. Mark Shlifka. Salone said that LaValle had disgraced his position and his actions have contributed to the distrust of police officers by many people, Shlifka said. In addition to LaValle, Carlos Santos, 28, of the 3800 block of West Diversey Avenue, and Alexander Valencia, 34, of the the 9600 block of South Kedvale Avenue in Oak Lawn, have been convicted for their roles in the killing. The two men are scheduled to be sentenced March 1. Also on Wednesday, Cook County Correctional Officer Frederick Burton of Oak Park was ordered held on $275,000 bail after being charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute and official misconduct. -

Wisconsin Hmong hunter found dead stay posted

Wisconsin Hunter Charged in Slaying Tuesday, January 16, 2007 4:17 PM EST The Associated Press By ROBERT IMRIE MARINETTE, Wis. (AP) — A white man was charged Tuesday with murdering a Hmong hunter in the woods in a slaying that rekindled racial tensions in Wisconsin and raised fears among Southeast Asian immigrants that the killing was payback. James Nichols, 28, shot and stabbed Cha Vang, 30, whose body was found Jan. 6 in a wildlife refuge near Green Bay where both were hunting squirrels, authorities said. District Attorney Brent DeBord gave no motive for the killing, which Vang's family said appeared to be racially motivated. Two years ago, a Hmong deer hunter shot six white hunters to death after being accused of trespassing in the Wisconsin woods. He said that the whites shouted racial epithets at him and opened fire first. He is serving multiple life sentences. After Vang's slaying, members of the Hmong community said they feared it was retaliation for the earlier killings. In court papers, prosecutors said that Nichols claimed that Vang shot him without provocation after Nichols told Vang to leave because he was interfering with his hunt. Nichols said the two then fought, and he killed Vang. Nichols gave several versions of the shooting, and once claimed Vang said: "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you," according to court papers. Vang did not speak English, his widow has said. "I know there are many people in the Hmong community and the community at large, that are wondering if this is a hate crime," Dick Campbell, spokesman for Vang's widow, said after the charges were announced. "I'm wondering that myself." Vang's body was found covered with leaves and other debris in a depression in the woods after members of Vang's hunting party reported him missing. An autopsy indicated Vang had been hit with a shotgun blast and stabbed six times. Sheriff's deputies arrested Nichols after he went to a hospital with a .22 caliber bullet lodged in his right hand and an injury to his other hand. He was charged with first-degree murder and other offenses. If convicted, Nichols could get life in prison plus 39 years and a $50,000 fine. Calls to Nichols' lawyer were not immediately returned. -

So if I have to get to work in 2 hours....
warpedskydiver replied to GQ_jumper's topic in The Bonfire
Not like I have to do anything important today anyways, roll into the office, pick up a few cases of ammo and then sit in a van for 12 hours while we drive to Phoenix. Traffic is that bad huh? -
Your stint as a white sex slave over already? Welcome back!!!
-
that and the M96 windrunner have got to be the best two 50's out there, other than a plain old Robar. A bolt action is good when you don't want the brass to be seen as it ejects, other than that there is too much felt recoil.

six seconds of punishment for crimes committed against humanity, not a bad deal actually.

Yeah........America is so bad in Iraq......
warpedskydiver replied to freeflir29's topic in Speakers Corner
Maybe you should apply for a job then. -
The comments in this thread against Dolphins are WRONG. For people who condone this activity, I hope the Iraqi's capture more USA Soldiers and slit THEIR throats. Quote Feel free to voice those sentiments in front of any current, or former US serviceman, wherever you skydive, for the rest of your life. And wait for the cheerful response. Why don't you and Jumprunner start dating? you seem to be a match.

I dont care about Iraq, or about the troops in Iraq. If they get hurt or killed, its too bad for them. Nice, and what country do you live in??? You bitch and moan and yet, you can because they are willing to fight for your rights, it may not be the case in Iraq, but it is the truth. But, it is nice knowing how you feel about US Troops. You are welcome to go live somewhere else....maybe they will embrace you.
-
It will be very hard, but yes it can be done. Just think of other wars in just the last 150 years, and what occurred afterwards, kind of amazing anyone recovered at all
-
A win would entail the militias being pacified, a stabilized democratic goverment that would allow the Iraqi people to prosper peacefully, and us getting the fuck out.
-
What do you want me to say?...Oh that's right we aren't supposed to win. I have another suggestion, why don't you explain the the rest of the class how to fight a counterinsurgency. WITHOUT SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOR AN OPINION.

Hmmm might be a theme going on here.... I was informed virtually the same thing. Gee Max could it be? One could only hope, it is what I think it is. I have no details either, but it sounds serious enough.
