Zareh Manjikian, alleged killer of Mike Yepremyan

Zareh Manjikian

Who was it that was arrested as he was entering Van Nuys civil court on March 27, 2012? As strange as it may sound and it is strange, as you will understand by reading on, none other than Arutyan “Eric” Demirchyan. Mr. Demirchyan owned the house that one of the killers of Mike Yepremyan was holed up in Puerto Rico. Zareh Manjikian had a nice vacation in Puerto Rico while on the run after murdering Mike Yepremyan and the place was owned by Demirchyan, coincidence? Read on…

Demirchyan was at the court house to deal with a “Family Law Issue” aka “Divorce Court” when he was arrested by the authorities and booked into the Van Nuys jail, well lots of people are getting divorced you say and I certainly agree…but, Read on…

Demirchyan’s bail was set at $1,100,000…you would have thought that Demirchyan killed someone! He did not, so where did the high bail come from? Something very very serious and I don’t think that the earth has stopped moving yet for Mr. Demirchyan…but wait, there is a little more.

Sen. Lorrna J. Soto Villanueva

Read on…what was the relationship with Mr. Demirchyan and State Senator Lornna J. Soto Villanueva, of you guessed it, Puerto Rico? The names of these two have been bumped around along with another character, Disgraced Judge Gloria Maynard Salgado. How do all three of these people come into play in the course of a murder in Los Angeles? Oh I certainly agree this is a little off and again, this is at this point just too interesting to ignore as you will see as you continue to read. Senator Soto and Judge Maynard-Salgado just have a way with “playing” in the course of performing their official duties that makes a reasonable person wonder?

Senator Lornna J. Soto Villanueva has been a state senator since 2004 and represents the District of Carolina, Puerto Rico. The following was taken from the “Honorable” Senator’s Wikipedia page, very, very fascinating. Read on…

….“Zareh Manjikian was arrested in May in San Juan, Puerto Rico as a suspect involved in a San Fernando Valley California shooting 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.”

Well, don’t get too disappointed, rumor has it that the Feds are all over this stuff, Paul Krekorian has called for a Federal Investigation and I understand that request did not fall on deaf ears. This is serious stuff, a “Creative Business” man, State Senator and a Judge? Only in Puerto Rico.

John J Nazarian also announced tonight on Straight Talk with John J Nazarian that the original group arrested last summer will be going on trial with April or May of this year. Finally perhaps the Yepremyan family will see someone go to jail for the senseless killing of a teen over a text message!

Minor's Counsel

John J Nazarian has a scathing opinion on Desperate Exes.com on “Monitors”, “Minor’s Counsel” and what he sees going on at the Stanley Mosk Court House which is his “hunting ground”.

Monitors are back in the news again. I was sitting in Department 43 and I am noticing that there is a mother who is pro per and taking a real shellacking from a MINOR’s counsel. This MINOR’s counsel is doing everything that she can come up with to attack and discredit this woman, even using big words that caught me off guard. I have to say that the “other side” even with his lawyer looks like Central Casting for the “Addams Family.” Now I am as critical as they come when it comes to these pro pers, but to watch the beating Ms. Ponce was taking was as bad as it comes comes. Minor’s counsel could have tempered her comments and did not have to be so vicious, after all she is an officer of the court. The attack was pretty severe and I DO NOT THINK IT WAS JUSTIFIED from where I was sitting. I went out and spoke to Ms. Ponce and told her exactly what I felt as to what I heard and what I was watching, not good. I will also say that Judge Willet seemed to give this young and well-dressed female minors counsel a big box to stand on and even to correct “His Honor” on a section that he misquoted. Beauty and intelligence, a tough mix to beat.

The best part of Ms. Ponce’s comment came when it was asked or written in a document, “what was the court ordered monitor doing?” In response to when the child was being “pushed” by his father during visitation? Response: “Eating and texting,“ at what $30, $50, ? per hour?

Hear me loud and clear, Monitors are a virus when it comes to your DIVORCE case, these nitwits are as bad as sand in the oil pan of your car! They are not impartial and will belly up to whoever can treat them better, they are generally a pitiful bunch who so want to be a “somebody” and quite frankly do not think many would pass any real close scrutiny. And what we are seeing are judges who will allow them to address the court in written reports and give live testimony! These people for the most part have NO TRAINING other than a 5-6 hour course they take to get the title, “monitor.” How this group has not been investigated by the Office of the Attorney General is beyond me based on just what I have witnessed and the false testimony given. Personally I am feeling that the judges do not always take what these people report with a “box of salt.” From my personal experience, many of these monitors are liars and cons all with the blessing of the court.

I can assure Judge Willet that when this monitor who was not ID’d in court (I know who she is) does show up for her “15 minutes of fame” she will lie and paint the picture that the minor’s counsel wants. This is one of the worst abuses of DIVORCE court I have seen! Do not get me started again with minor’s counsel, they act as an investigator and not a lawyer most of the time. And do I have to remind the Superior Court of the “issues” that this group created at one time?

So what do I do, I stroll into Judge Trent Lewis’s court and Judge Lewis is telling a pro per (male this time) that he is going to appoint “Henry Stewart,“ and to have Mr. Stewart use one of his monitors, great! This is a huge money grab and these monitors are being paid lots and are little more than a glorified security guard that can ruin your life in DIVORCE court. This pro per was polite enough but was insulted and stated, “I am not going to pay someone so I can visit my child” and walked out of court. That move was likely the smartest thing this guy ever did since entering the “Twilight Zone” called DIVORCE and “Court-Ordered Supervised Visits.”

One site promotes that it uses only POST (police officers standard and training ), certified law enforcement officers. Really? Am I to believe that will make everything all better? Spare me once again, go and look for yourselves the requirements of 5.20 Rules of Court Judicial Administration Standards…there is absolutely no impartiality in the way these people conduct themselves and it will be you that pays the ultimate price of what some of these hustlers will do or say to endear themselves to one side or the other and worse yet, the court itself.

Using a monitor or having one forced upon you by the court is going to be a disaster in most cases (my opinion). Knowing what you know today and could go back in time, would you buy a ticket on the Titanic?

Jackie Earle Haley

After a very long vacation from the Stanley Mosk, I returned to my favorite stomping grounds and who do I run into but a face and a name from the past! Jackie Earle Haley, the kid star from a million years ago, he was born in 1961 but why does it seem like, “Years.” Simple he as been around since a cute little kid with shaggy hair and blue eyes…cute is gone but still a great actor and from were I was standing he seemed like a real nice guy. Soft spoken and very low key, he has a real sense of calm about him as does his former love of his life, it is all very calm. You see, it is possible to be reasonable.

Mr. Haley was there with his attorney, Terry Levich Ross, of the firm Silberberg & Ross, this is a lawyer. There is something that is very likable about her, she is firm and keeps a stern look most of the time. Try talking to her and you will find a softer underside…hmm, a little like myself…

…On the other side representing Windy O’Reilly, Mr. Haley’s ex, is none other than Attorney Joseph P. Koenig, with one of the premier firms in the city, Trope and Trope. Joseph always has an air of confidence and for a good reason, he too is relentless and to watch Miss Ross and Mr. Koenig was a little like watching two cobras. Koenig has a friendly air about him but don’t assume you are going to step on him, he too has a great command of the English language. The feeling is that neither trust the other (lawyers), that is perfect for the world of divorce…no one can trust anyone! Mr. Koenig too is on his own and is watching and waiting as is Miss. Ross. Watching and waiting for what you ask, well Mr. Haley and Ms. O’Reilly are sitting and talking and the two are so at peace that I am convinced that they could repeat their vows. The two spoke for what seemed like hours and never once raised their voices. It was refreshing, two reasonable people talking over very personal issues and two highly competent lawyers watching and waiting…in the end, “Hugs, kisses and pats on the back. ” I had to step back and assure myself that I was on the 8th floor at the Stanley Mosk and that this is DIVORCE court.

We should all wish, Mr. Haley and Ms. O’Reilly all the best and they should both be grateful that they had two of the best lawyers in Southern California keeping it all together.

Tiger Woods and Thirteen Agonizing minutes

The stock market stopped for a tad over thirteen (13) minutes as did the world compliments of the U. S. 24/7 as I love to describe them, “Infotainment News” and on Friday even what most of us consider “Real News”; with thousands of people watching just to hang on every word of Tiger Woods on Friday, February 19, 2010. One that had been advertised, and yes I do mean advertised, as in the advertising community paid a lot of money for plugs a head of this speech and for spots after this speech. It is no accident that Nike bought the advertising spot directly after the speech with “The Jungle Song” being played.

I was looking through CNN and MSNBC on Friday morning to just get my daily dose of what is going on in the world. I had missed the “original” thirteen minutes agonizing speech by Tiger Woods, however I did NOT miss the hour by hour analysis of body language experts, twelve steps experts in fact I half expected Woods to apologize to the Hollywood Madam whose newest claim to fame is getting trash shows and rags to continue to quote her about Tiger Woods and ALL of the money she has made. Have her “handlers” a/k/a federal prosecutors and probation officers told her that for the six months while writing her tell all book and doing a tad of house arrest with that cute little ankle bracelet that she might want to keep a LOW profile; but then my take is that would be impossible for her.

However, I regress, what do I know about Tiger Woods let me count the things since I am not a golfer or golf fan, the game to me looks like a slow drip of molasses with about that much excitement so I am perhaps skewed in my take on this.

1. Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer EVER.

2. Because of this he is the richest golfer EVER.

3. Because of this he has a Godzilla amount of Endorsements.

4. Because of those paid endorsements he makes even More Money.

That is about all I knew and all I needed to know about Tiger Woods until the replay and dissection of his thirteen minutes “I have sinned” speech, (flash back to Jimmy Swaggart’s crying confession of having sex with prostitutes. Of course he was neither rich nor talented except to take little old ladies money for his evangelism. DISCLAIMER: I BELIEVE IN GOD SO DON’T GO THERE, I DON’T BELIEVE IN USING THAT FAITH TO CASH IN.) Swaggart’s motivation was trying to right himself in time to not lose too much money. However, it was that repeat performance with pictures to show there was no change that did him in and no amount of crocodile tears could save him. (I could add thank God here but won’t)

So flipping through a twelve step program of things to do I see Woods is up to a combination of eight (8) and nine (9). Eight being: “Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.” With nine (9) being; “Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.”

Now did Tiger Wood’s lust to spend money and lavish himself with things considered taboo to a clean cut all American, trust your children to follow me, harm me? Nope his wife, his children, his mother, a few friends, the boy scouts and his sponsors, probably. Did it harm me that he went on international television to say he had amends to make and he had harmed people. That was a personal choice, in my opinion, that neither helped nor hurt him, however the “24/7 infotainment news world” got their pound of flesh to dissect for a whole news cycle so he sold advertisements for them, but did I need to hear that, nope.

Look he could have said what he needed to say, if he in fact needed to say anything as follows, in my opinion:

1. I am the best golfer to ever play the game.

2. I made millions in endorsements and money from championships.

3. With money comes, greedy people that want part of that money and will cater to all of your fantasies.

4. I gave into those fantasies and all that does is make me one more imperfect person and perhaps one headed to divorce court.

5. I am no hero, haven’t any of you learned yet to put an imaginary “icon” on a pedestal is going to cause that icon to show they have clay feet? Now he probably should have been saying that to parents and children all along during his career. History has taught us when you put the rich, famous, talented people on pedestals, gravity is always going to win and they will fall off.

6. Leave my wife, my kids and my mother alone, geesh people isn’t there better ways to spend your time then dissecting and stalking my family? (he did say that)

7. I am not going to address the gossip of the extent of my indiscretions that is between my family and me and perhaps my sponsors. (At least he did say that).

If he wanted to throw in that there was no domestic violence and his wife had not chased him with a nine iron down his home driveway, which frankly I kind of liked the idea of a beautiful woman chasing a cheating husband down the drive, that was his choice. So if that did not happen then Tiger Woods should have told us he was drunk, mad, sped away from a fight with his wife and crashed. Got it? That is all we needed to know, in fact we were not “entitled” to even that.

He could have done that in less than five minutes, yet we were all subjected to watching a very private person, who had lied along the way in making all that money, agonized over making amends and admitting his sins. Then we spent the rest of the day having pundits, professional psychologists, twelve step advisers and even body language experts tell us what part was real, what was not and what is next for the Woods’ brand.

Which by the way isn’t there more serious news to cover in the world then Tiger Woods?

We now know he is paying a LOT of money to a sex rehabilitation clinic and was going back to spend a LOT more money there. The Google alerts today say this sex clinic has had to put up a temporary privacy fence. I wonder if that fee was added to Tiger’s bill? I am willing to bet the people who run that inpatient clinic and get a LOT of money from Tiger Woods, high five Woods on his return with WOW man did you do good! You only have (fill in the number of weeks here they say he needs) while of course making a LOT more money from Tiger Woods. It is kind of like hookers charge but for now in a different direction for the rich and famous. I kind of hope Woods went to bed on Saturday night back at the rehab center with a thought of F-U, I feel worse not better and ya’ll made me do a super advanced advertising thirteen minute “I have Sinned” bullshit speech. But hey if it will keep my sponsors then it was a good business decision.

Tiger, let that be the only pound of flesh you hand the world of “24/7 infotainment news”. Their only purpose is to destroy people in search of those advertising dollars. Do what you have to do to rehabilitate your image so the money keeps coming in. However if I was you, one day remind all of these people you can do two things that almost none of them can do: 1. Be the greatest golfer of all time and 2. Make more money then most of them can dream about on Christmas Eve when lollipops of greed dance through their heads.

So have we had enough of Tiger Woods and the guy can get on with his life NOPE, there is just too much money to make in following this imperfect human being. It appears to me his main sin was demanding to keep his personal life very private. I hope he has learned that in doing that, which he was entitled to do, but with an imperfect life he opened the flood gates of man eating “24/7 infotainment”. Learn and move on with money and fame comes that occasional pound of flesh the public via “Infotainment 24/7 news cycles demands”. It is just the way of life these days. I do have to say I like how Tiger’s wife Elvin has handled this. Back to the sex clinic for Tiger but Elin will be taking the credit cards to go shopping and in a very public way. You got to love the way betrayed wives get to decide how much money it is going to cost those wayward husband to get out of the proverbial dog house.

YES THIS IS AN EDITORIAL NOT BASED ON FACTUAL INFORMATION BUT MY OWN THOUGHTS ON THE FIASCO THAT IS SURROUNDING TIGER WOODS.
