Once in a while our justice system works as it should.

GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS IN MIKE ‘GOMBERT’ YEPREMYAN TEEN TEXT MURDER TRIAL

Zareh Manjikian and Vahagn Jurian guilty of murder and other charges.

Hovic Dzhuryan and his sister Khatun ‘Kat’ Vardanyan guilty of conspiracy to commit murder

Mike Yepremyan was murdered November 2009 and the trial began just a few weeks ago June 2012. Mike is the first highlighted teen text murder case in the U. S. involving the California Homicide Detectives, the U. S. Marshalls as the murderers fled the U. S. and the FBI for those hiding here.

On the Yepremyan murder case it was the lawyers, Michael Levin, Esq. Alex Kessel, Esq., Levin is representing Zareh Manjikian and Kessel is representing Vahag Jurian. Also present everyday is Hovic Dzhuryan and his sister Kat Vardanian, Anthony Brooklier is representing Kat and George Mgdesyan is representing Hovic.

Judge Gregory A. Dohi of the Los Angeles Superior Court is presiding, Dept. E. Judge Dohi has only been a judge since being appointed August 29, 2007. Prior to that he attended a mid level university back East, Harvard!! And then went to Boalt Hall School of Law, one thing we can say is that this guy has educational credentials in the highest categories of law.

Judge Dohi was admitted to the bar in 1991 and joined the District Attorney’s office as a prosecutor.

Artak and Arni Yepreyman was in the court for the reading of the verdicts. Let’s hope as each GUILTY!!! was read they found some peace in God’s hands, that our justice system although slow, can work! We do not know if Danielle, Mike’s former girlfriend was present but as we get updates you will get updates.

Special thanks to Lt. Hamilton and Detective Thomas Townsend, of North Hollywood Division of the L.A.P.D. Homicide and their team of team of homicide cops, The Los Angeles Grand Jury for indicting these four and Office Kirkpatrick and John J Nazarian Celebrity PI who just could not walk away from this case.

As Nazarian once said; “These people who were involved in the killing of Mike Yepremyan are looking at a whole lotta of time, and the district attorney’s office is going to be sure they get all that they got coming to them and more, time is wonderful unless you are in a state prison.”

In a L. A. Times article today by Robert Faturechi;

“the indictment also named another member of the group, Lazar Petrosyan, who authorities said is being treated as a witness, not a suspect.

We will be verifying this as soon as possible, but my bet is because of the flight risk, Kat and her brother will be spending their first night in jail the first of many.

R.I.P. Mike and may your family be comforted by knowing they stayed the course and may sure you were remember both of your organ donations, but also they never tired, they saw your killers brought to justice.

Congratulations to Lt. Hamilton and Detective Thomas Townsend, of North Hollywood Division of the L.A.P.D. Homicide. Why you ask am I saying this you ask????? Well let me just start by saying whenever you have DATELINE or 60 MINUTES knocking on your door you just know things are going to go to shit! The only thing worse I guess might be peeking out your little dingy window and seeing none other than Detective T. Townsend, that being he is a homicide cop and you are being charged with having something to do with killing someone. ( oh no! the lawyer said dont worry….LOL, they always say that….get another retainer ready! ) Who would have ever thought of the Grand Jury…..oh well going to be writing some bigger checks to them defense attorneys!

Poor Hovik Dzhuryan, Officer Kirkpatrick and crew bagged another ‘Armo’! This has to be funny, right, you know at one point I am sure you could have been a good guy and cooperated and been a decent human being and helped the police figure out which MoFo shot and killed an innocent boy. But nooooooo you are going to be a ‘tough Armo’ and play the part, well now you can either post bail (Mo Money out the window) or maybe be nice to that ‘MoFo’ with a badge and no neck. Just ask around, I am sure most of your family must know Detective Townsend by now. (if you see Townsend eating DO NOT MAKE ANY LOUD NOISES) And that the odds are you are going to be needing another bail agent, can I suggest, Chickies Bail Bonds? Chickie will post the bail and get your useless ass out of jail….unless your bail is 3 million or 8 million. The funniest part is ‘someone’ now has to hire another F’n lawyer, LMAO, right? Lt. Hamilton and Detective Townsend should be on at least four Defense Lawyers Christmas card list….think of the money these goofy SOBs have paid to defense attorneys to make all this better. That money would have done better in stuffing it someplace tight and dark with a little ‘lube’. hell at this point when you folks come home and slip out of your ‘Armo’ slippers, by the way this is both in L.A. and Glendale, you should look around and and say hello to the team of ‘watchers’ and bring some of that ‘Armo’ coffee out to the cops and investigators who are watching you and your family members…. and could there be more to come…..hmmm I am thinking, yup!

Through months and months of hard work by Detective Townsend and Lt. Hamilton’s team of homicide cops, The Los Angeles Grand Jury has indicted Khatun ‘Kat’ Vardanyan aka ‘get me some lube’, Hovik Dzhuryan aka ‘ I was not there’-’ my phone was there, not me’ Vahagn Jurian aka ‘ the short one ‘ or by now ‘snuggles’ and Zareh Manjikian ‘ my heart goes out to the family ‘……. before I forget, a BIG THANKS for the attorney of Manjikian for putting his client on national television before turning himself in! Big Smoochies to you! And of course all of our hearts go out to you too…..

Folks, November will be the two year anniversary of the murder of Mike ‘Gombert’ Yepremyan. One has to wonder, now there will be four (4) lawyers, and now 2 bails and can it get any more costly? How can the murderers and the people responsible for Mikes murder be paying for all of this? ‘ did we hear someone yelling ‘I am going broke!’ Well if I was rep’n one of these murderers I would go for the ‘roll’ as in ‘rollover’, and for ‘Bro’ & ‘Sis’, that would be a no brainer, ‘lets make a deal’ would be my favorite new show……as I said before, as a retired cop there was no way I could believe that a system would allow pure scum to kill an innocent boy and just walk away. I was right again, the system works and ‘lady justice may get a little sick at times but she never dies’.

These people who were involved in the killing of Mike Yepremyan are looking at a whole lotta of time, and the district attorney’s office is going to be sure they get all that they got coming to them and more, time is wonderful unless you are in a state prison. Can you all remember the good O’l days when you all thought ‘ Ha!, we all got away with killing this kid ‘. Silly Armos, it brings to mind a friend of my fathers, one of the worlds most incredible singers, Connie Frances, one of her all time hits was, “ Whose Sorry Now “.

In a L. A. Times article today by Robert Faturechi;

“the indictment also named another member of the group, Lazar Petrosyan, who authorities said is being treated as a witness, not a suspect.

Authorities are planning on trying all four defendants together.

“This sends a message to everyone,” said John Nazarian, a private investigator hired by the slain teen’s family. “You can’t just kill an innocent boy and with some clever manipulation get away with it.”

Lately I have been flooded with “Where is John’s response to the arrest of those responsible for the murder of Mike Yepremyan?” Well it is coming and coming real soon, I am holding off for awhile, but here is a sample, “The Armenian Factor.” What is that you ask? It will be a piece based on my experience and from my perspective of a group known for being liars, cheats and thieves. Got your attention well standby. Here is another truth, I have spoken to well over a dozen American Armenians, get 10 Armenians in a room, 8.25 of them will be ‘bad news’, the other 1.75 will be like the Yepremyans. You know, hard-working people who have real family ties and values…unlike those responsible for the COLD-BLOODED murder of their only son. It is “The Armenian Factor” that so hindered this investigation, that closed ranks to protect killer scum in their midst even though they were responsible for the senseless murder of a “fellow” Armenian.

Zareh Manjikian’s release by that moron in Puerto Rico is an insult to every real judge that ever sat on the bench. Zareh Manjikian was arrested in May in San Juan, Puerto Rico as a suspect involved in the San Fernando Valley murder in 2009 of Hombert “Mike” Yepremyan. Judge Gloria Maynard Salgado of the Research Division for the Puerto Rico Judicial Branch Court ignored an extradition request and a no bail order and allowed for Manjikian to be bailed out on a $50,000 bond on the condition he return to Court. Curiously enough, the Court listed the case as a civil case of miscellaneous criminal matters. Manjikian never returned to Court. For me I would have been happier if Manjikian had been arrested in Mexico…they love catching American killers and holding them, it is like a trophy for our friends in Mexico.

Hello Puerto Rico, THE GOVERNMENT OF THIS ISLAND NEEDS TO IMPEACH THIS MORON, I CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO USE THE WORD, ju*&e, YOU KNOW? No one should ever address this idiot of all idiots as such! None of us could have ever predicted that Manjikian would have gotten away in such a manner. I went public in wondering if there was a pay-off…what else could explain behavior like this? I am still wondering, and you? Can anyone tell me if Her Honor is still taking the bus to work? Or is she now driving a nice shiny new Maserati convertible or perhaps a SL550…let’s all watch!

Well luck has not been too good for Vahagn Jurian, 22 years old, he was arrested for murder by the Federal Bureau of Investigation aka F.B.I. There will be more on this story and his arrest in the weeks to come. When Jurian gets our of prison, BMWs will have wings, we hope. The family has hired a criminal defense lawyer to assist in his defense, (what, “I was not there, I did not run, I did not help the shooter escape and I did not flee the U.S.”?), I am thinking $30,000 which will go fast, real fast.

Our predictions are as follows: it is a new and fresh world since the arrest of Khatun Vardanian, who was arrested for murder and soon after released when the judge decided that the evidence was not “strong enough.” My opinion, that will not be an issue anymore in all future arrests and there will be more to come…I hope that everyone has saved a lot of money for bail and lawyers. For sure the Yepremyans will never be as they were, a wonderful and happy family with great dreams. Those dreams were shattered when their son had to deal with the “The Armenian Factor.”

I have been active in this investigation for a very long time and I have seen it all and heard it all. You know, the LAPD did this or that…folks, the LAPD and Detective Townsend did the best, the very best and were there mistakes? You could call it that if you want to, but let me say this, Detective Thomas Townsend and his team are fast studies and have mastered “The Armenian Factor“ and in doing so will be sending someone or two or ????? to the gray bar motel aka state prison to pay for the murder of Hombert “Mike” Yepremyan.

NEWS UPDATE: DateLine as well as 48 hours are actively pursuing this story for a national audience. Mike is about to get the national press his teen text message murder is just going to continue to be highlighted until a fair trial of the people involved in this has dealt out justice.

Stay tune to what I predict some hard hitting and to the point of the Teen Text Murder of Mike Yepremyan by John J. Nazarian on his Desperate Exes.com site.

We have the exclusive pictures of John J. Nazarian with Pauley Perrette at the Oscar viewing party at West Hollywood’s The Abbey tonight February 27, 2011!. We talked to John J. Nazarian earlier today as he was getting ready, seemed very upbeat and promised Rose Speaks.com a few exclusive pictures this evening including one of Pauley Perrett and him tonight.

So here they are John J. Nazaraian and our favorite actress Pauley Perrette, she is talented and she gives so much of herself in the charities she promotes… And she was born in Louisiana.

We were lucky enough to do an article on the Matthew Sheppard event Ms. Perrette did last year.

John J. Nazarian, Producer of America’s Most Wanted and “Chad” a very young and talented up and coming scree writer

Per the Huffington Post this even was hosted by Pauley Perrette (NCIS), Stephanie Pratt (The Hills) and Marisa Ramirez (Spartacus: Gods of the Arena), the Post gave this “party/event” not only listed first on their front page as a must.

John J. Nazarian and “Tric” Radio Host from Nashville Tennessee, song writer and pilot. A girl with a lot of talent

We have received three more pictures of John and Pauley Perrette and will have those added and up in just a bit, beautiful pictures, I just love cell phones that take digital pictures.

Dateline NBC tonight, December 17, 2010 is going to look at the investigations and questions surrounding what now appears to be the senseless murder of Ronni Chasen by Harold Smith.

The views in Hollywood are varied, here is some of what I found that the famed Beverly Hills crowd are musing about.

In the extreme you have one “unnamed source” telling Deadline, “After listening to the details of the press conference, one of my police sources familiar with the investigation questioned the credibility of the investigation and quipped, “If I’m murdered and you find my body in Beverly Hills, please drag my body to LAPD. Even if you have to leave a bloody trail.”

I will be adding some additional details in a few minutes but Date Line NBC should be interesting and our favorite Hollywood PI, John J. Nazarian will be on talking with others. The Ronni Chasen case will not be covered with the whole show as there are other interesting crimes scheduled for tonight on the program.

The Beverly Hills police held a press conference on Wednesday stating that they believe that Harold Martin Smith, a career criminal who served time in state prison, shot and killed Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen. Police announced that lab tests revealed a preliminary match between the murder weapon presumed to have killed publicist Ronni Chasen and the gun used by Howard Smith to kill himself. The Beverly Hills Police stated that Smith acted alone in killing Chasen and police don’t believe the murder was a professional hit, but rather a “robbery gone bad.” The police theory is that Smith was on his bicycle and intended to rob Chasen, but she sped off after he shot her.

The Daily Beast gives us a synopsis of facts and just how this murder might have been a random act.

Police believe Smith carried out the shooting on foot as Chasen waited for the light to turn. He could well have staked out the corner, waiting past midnight into the wee hours of Nov. 16, a weekday, when traffic is at its lightest. He would have waited for a clear stretch without other passing cars, then made his move for Chasen’s vehicle, goes the police’s theory.

Smith reportedly killed Chasen with a .38 revolver, which can take regular or hollow-point bullets. A revolver does not discharge cartridge casings, as has been endlessly speculated.

In the botched robbery, Smith unloaded five bullets at the veteran publicist, then dashed back to his seven-speed and fled the scene, police say. Chasen did not surrender her purse, jewelry, money, or car, but lurched leftward onto Whittier, where she crashed into a lamppost.

Questions were hurled back at the Beverly Hills Police Department. A black man cycled seven miles to Whittier and Sunset, a cornerstone of ivory-white Beverly Hills, and no one clocked him when police are famously alert to African-American men in the area? Not a snippet to be found on any of the security cameras at the grand homes along Sunset Boulevard? No spent cartridge casings in the street? In short, the general complaint went, a thief simply does not accost a Mercedes on the most famous boulevard in Southern California in order to rob its driver and take nothing for his efforts, all with just a bicycle for transportation.

Harold Smith, a lifelong drug and alcohol abuser who was in and out of prison for much of his adult life, was indeed crazy.

On that point, the denizens of the Harvey Apartments, the benighted rooming house worthy of a Raymond Chandler novel, on Santa Monica Boulevard near Vine Street, tend to agree.

“He was always wearing these over sized gray gardener’s gloves,” said his neighbor Robin Lyle. “I think it was some germ phobia thing of his. Even if he shook my hand, he put the glove right back on.”

John Kratzel, 60, a self described “survivor of Vietnam, the Marine Corps, and 14 foster homes” maintains a well-kept room down the hall “He was always roaming the halls trying to engage me,” said Kratzel, who added that he told Smith more than once not to come into his room. “He was troubled and he was in trouble. He had several different bikes, stolen bikes. He used to keep them next door by the Dumpster.”

A longtime employee of the Harvey said Smith had four or five bikes during the few months he lived at the Harvey. “All stolen,” he added. Smith’s favorite, and the one he kept in his room, he said, was a burgundy-colored seven-speed, which the LAPD have taken into evidence. “I saw him once on that bicycle with the banana seat and curled handlebars,” said neighbor Terri Gilpin, 46, who occasionally chatted with Smith, “and he was holding a can of soda in his right hand. And he could ride with both hands in the air.”

That’s where Smith ended his misery with a bullet to his skull with a .38 revolver on Dec. 1 at 6 p.m., when police arrived to question him. It was the same gun that police say is a ballistics match with the one used to kill Chasen.

About two weeks before Smith took his life, he showed up excitedly outside Robin Lyle’s door. He had received “a few thousand dollars” from a lawsuit filed on his behalf by personal injury law firm of Larry H. Parker, though he complained about the lawyers “taking most of it.”

Michael Baden, the chief pathologist for the New York State Police, never doubted that Chasen’s murder did not require a trained hit man. But the Beverly Hills Police Department’s press conference, he said, raised more questions than it settled: “What is the provenance of the gun?” asked Baden. “When did he get the gun? Was it a hot gun someone wanted to get rid of? Were there other fingerprints on the weapon? And most importantly, did the bike have trace evidence on it?

That said, “trace evidence,” in the words of one police source, was found at the intersection of Sunset and Whittier, referring to the shattered glass of Chasen’s passenger window. The source also clarified that the investigators were not suggesting that Smith accosted Chasen’s Mercedes on his bicycle—but rather on foot.

The blowback from “the industry” was fast and fierce: from the friends and clients of Chasen to her fellow publicists, and even the local newspapers, websites, and bloggers who had run with the assumption that a professional assassin or mob hit man was the killer. “I don’t believe it for one minute,” Kathie Berlin, longtime Chasen friend and fellow publicist, told KNBC. “And not one person I’ve talked to believes it. You’re going to shoot someone in the heart five times from a bicycle and then just ride off?” Chasen’s friend, the film producer Lili Fini Zanuck, was nonplussed: “Anyone watching CSI can do better. It’s from an SUV?! It’s from a bike?!” she said. “What the fuck?”

While “the industry” scoffs at the police’s resolution of Chasen murder, Hollywood’s tourist industry has found a way to embrace the tragedy. The Starline bus tour, which features the homes of the stars, now drives by Sunset and Whittier, with its bullhorn announcing the intersection as the famed murder site of Ronni Chasen.

The other night I and my family were sitting down for a fabulous dinner (that I cooked of course) and heard the name “Patrick McDermott.” My son Mike and I looked at each other and wondered, “what”? Patrick is the former boyfriend of Olivia Newton John who went missing after a fishing trip. Hmmm, I was wondering what is the big deal? I and my son Mike did this story years ago when Mr. McDermott was thought to have turned into lobster or crab food.

But wait, Dateline NBC was reporting that they had hired a private investigator out of Texas to look into the details. And the details that we were all bored with watching the other night took several months to come to the conclusion that Patrick McDermott was still alive. Huh? The investigator on this case came across a little like a “clown prince” and all that was missing was a brass band marching across hot beach sand with no shoes. Oh, but Mr. Philip Klein had all of the lines down: “we have leads,” and “I knew it,” “we are about an hour behind him,” “he was here.” It would appear from where I was watching that Mr. Klein would be most excellent at locating a Taqueria or an all-you-can-eat burrito buffet. Oh he had a “kick stand” with him, a former L.A. County deputy sheriff who went “undercover” on the fishing boat that McDermott was last seen on…the rumor is that he had two hotdogs and a drink. Can the Loch Ness Monster be next for this crew? Almost seems that Mr. Klein should have been “pitched” to the cooking channel. Wow, this is exciting! How many of you remember my good friend Geraldo’s great escapade on TV a couple dozen years ago to open a cement bunker of Al Capone? That epic waste of time was exciting compared to this debacle of clowndom visiting Mexico. A private source of mine from NBC was laughing in wonderment as to how NBC got into this mess of a “who cares” story, dredged up from deeply buried archives under Who Cares!

…”He’s alive”…no shit!

…Welcome to Prime Time…..in a crappy economy!
