(HORN NEWS) — O.J. Simpson, the former football star and acquitted double-murder suspect, is expected to be released from prison soon — and when he walks out, he’ll instantly become a millionaire. As Nevada prison inmate No. 1027820, O.J. will have a lot going for him when he asks state parole board members this week to release him after serving more than eight years for an ill-fated bid to retrieve sports memorabilia. “If he is let out of prison, the[…]
Last week, I started relaying the story of a Metro officer forced to retire after attending a police picnic and having a couple of things go the wrong way. He IS responsible for his conduct — of course! But the conduct does not come anywhere near to meriting a termination after a Kangaroo Court (pre-termination hearing). The first charge against ‘Joe-Lo’ was noted last week. It is a fictitious charge now known as “administrative” DUI[…]
I learned last week about the end of yet another police officer’s career in Las Vegas. It didn’t take much analysis of the information that I was given to realize that this was a disgrace. Let me explain. The Sheriff’s Protective Association is a ‘social’ organization. They sponsor the annual Christmas Party, the SPA Picnic, and they used to sponsor an event at ‘Wet & Wild’ and I participated in all of these activities with[…]
By Hans Sherrer Special to the Las Vegas Tribune Evidence has been discovered that Clark County District Attorney Steven Wolfson lied to the Nevada Supreme Court when he said he doesn’t have a “Liar’s List” of dishonest cops. Wolfson denied he has a “Liar’s List,” as a defense to one of Kirstin Lobato’s claims for a new trial in her habeas corpus appeal currently in the Supreme Court. Wolfson’s lie to the Supreme Court in Ms. Lobato’s case was[…]
The man who once told the Las Vegas Tribune that he has all judges in Clark County in his pocket, “especially the Black judges,” could be right after all. Leon Benzer, the man behind the Home Owners Association scandal, bragged about his connection with judges and Mob associates to the Las Vegas Tribune while visiting the newspaper offices on East Sahara Avenue. After years of gathering evidence and putting a case together, the trial of several of those involved in the[…]
By Thomas A Nagy Part 23 in a Series Previously in this series it was reported that the Clark County district attorneys David Roger and Steven Wolfson have declined to bring charges against the person known to have killed Jason R. Turner-Shenker in September 2005. More than nine years have passed and each district attorney has yet to investigate this homicide with intent to resolve the matter. Instead of prosecuting the case staff members of the district attorney’s office have harassed[…]

Once again elected officials and government agencies have proven this newspaper right by appointing to the Gaming Commission former Southern Nevada Water Authority General Manager Pat Mulroy, who retired in February. Historically the good positions open in this community are passed around by one “connected” person to another among the powerful political names at all government levels without looking any farther than to the person right next to them or the one sitting at the[…]
Part Two: A Murder Cover-up Is Defined — David Roger By Thomas A. Nagy Every county in these United States (or should we more honestly use the term Divided States of America?) has a primary prosecutor, most commonly known as a district attorney. Each person holding this office whether appointed or elected has specific responsibilities defined by law. In Clark County, Nevada the district attorney is an elected official. Among the responsibilities sought by a[…]
By Thomas A. Nagy Part One of a Series A few months ago I was invited to review documentation regarding a murder that took place in Las Vegas during the night of September 27-28, 2005. Exactly eight years had passed since that crime had been committed and the primary witnesses, two women, had not been questioned by the police about the death. An inquest conducted by a justice of the peace and three citizen jurors[…]
Parents are in a good position to give their children good advice because they are wiser and more experienced, but children are usually reluctant to take their parent’s advice until they hear that same advice from a stranger. People like to believe what they read in the Las Vegas Tribune, but they somehow believe that this newspaper is an “anti-government, radical publication,” which is very far from the truth, yet some readers indicate they are[…]
