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.

The Yepremyan murder trial is wrapping up after several weeks, it is the process that is also a real killer. Can you begin to imagine the Yepremyans sitting day in and day out within feet of those responsible for the murder of their only son. Having to sit and watch all of the evidence that at times was gruesome. There were photos of the autopsy, their boy laying there dead. And worse yet was the silly shit the defense attorneys would pull on witnesses, and the shenanigans (one would have to wonder what redeeming qualities lawyers like this have? What would it be like to have their son or daughter laying on a stainless steel table with a bullet hole in the head? Getting ready to be sliced and diced during an autopsy). Just me thinking our loud.
The defense attorneys have pulled out all the stops. Kessel was the most annoying in so much that he does his job and enjoys it. What job do you ask? Get the guilty out of the belly of the beast at all costs and this trial was no exception. Just like ‘OJ’ everyone knew Simpson killed his wife and the kid. And he was found not guilty by a gaggle of some of the dumbest human beings to ever walk the face of this planet…it all caught up with him in time (this was probably one of the rare examples of a “jury of your peers” ).
Likewise, everyone with any brains knows exactly what happened that night in North Hollywood, who killed Mike Yepremyan, who put it all into motion and all of the players. The truth has little or no place in a criminal court, it is defense games and police detectives and prosecutors who waltz around with the freedom of those in the jaws of the system. The jury system as I have often stated is a total joke for the most part, “a jury of your peers.” Really? So would I have 12 former cops on a jury, does a doctor get a jury of other doctors to decide ones innocence or guilt? Of course not, jury selection is a science for those who want to spend the money on professionals who can pick certain ‘candidates’ with certain characteristics that will be favorable for your client.
That was not the case in the Yepremyan murder case, Not Guilty or Guilty is not going to bring back Mike ‘Gombert’ Yepremyan from his grave in Forest Lawn. One big help for the defense was the fact all of Mikes ‘friends’ that night seemed to have forgotten and lied about a shotgun that was in the trunk of Mike’s car. For sure it was not put there by Mike, but by one of his friends who thought that his military career was going to be helpful in the event of something happening. In the end it may well have gave the defense a gift, sure a real big gift to the defendants. Sure, they all lied (Mike’s friends who all watched and did nothing) about an issue that if it had been told to the cops at the time would have been a non-issue. Having any long gun in your trunk is not an issue, tell the cops the truth and all would have been fine, but to lie? The whole bunch of you may have given rise to letting the killers off, we will see.
Worse yet was that this same group that were standing feet away when Mike was murdered also lied to the grand jury! WTF were you thinking guys, you never used the gun obviously, are you all that f’n ignorant? You soldier boy should have got it and used it at the fleeing murders who had just shot your best friend in the neck. But nooo, you and the others decided to try and lie and forget about a non-fucking issue. Congratulations, the whole bunch of you may very well be responsible for Mike Yepremyan and his Mom and Dad never seeing justice…all because you lied!
Now if the jury is smart and the prosecutor is as good an actor as some of the members of the defense team. This jury may well understand that they are sitting and looking at those responsible for the murder of Mike ‘Gombert’ Yepremyan. If these defendants are to be found not guilty, as I said when ‘OJ’ was found not guilty, the defendants took the risks, they played the game and payed dearly for a great defense team… this is after all our system of justice.
One other note, as many of you will recall in my earlier writings on Desperateexes.com I talk about the “Armenian Factor.” This “Factor” is as real as dead fish will stink, fruit will rot and for law enforcement the “Armenian Factor,” encompasses all of this and much more in investigating crimes involving this element.

Mike Yepremyan was murdered November 2009 and the trial began just a few weeks ago June 2012. The jury selection is always one of the more uninteresting aspects of the process, ‘Select a Jury’. Let me just say this for the defendants how the lawyers select a jury can be a crap shoot. On many real big high profile cases there are ‘specialists’ who help with the process. These experts will look at the shoes,’shined not shined’, the hair, all kind of mannerisms to try and pick the most favorable. Little like how I pick peaches at the market, all by hand!
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. Did either Brooklier or Mgdesyan assist in the jury selection? I am not sure, all of these guys are well trained and respected for their work as ‘Get me off the hook’ go to guys. The biggest name in the bunch is of course is Anthony Brooklier, one of the biggest names in defense in So. Cal. right up there with Harland Braun, Esq. Kessel and Levin are very good at their craft also, Mgdesyan, I have never heard of until this trial.
I met with Brooklier with one of the defendants in the Anna Nicole Smith trial and after a great lunch of Spaghetti and Meatballs my client ‘flew the coop’. I was done with her and Brooklier was not retained, I still see that as a big mistake…..welcome to my world of making suggestions.
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. (Judge Dohi handled the pre-lim of Robert Blake Feb. 26, 2003 after he supposedly ‘whacked’ his wife after a nice Italian dinner at Vittello’s in Studio City). I wonder if they had ‘Meatballs’?
When Judge Dohi is not siting on the bench he is a professor at Southwestern School of Law. His honor ran for his ‘bench seat’ in 2010 and won the election, no one else it appears ran against him, this is often the case for sitting judges. Judge Dohi also sent Jodie Foster’s father, Blake Foster, to prison for 5 years for scamming home owners. Not bad, Judge Gregory A. Dohi, welcome to being a jurist in Southern California.
The only issue that I have is that with this education, with this employment background he has to know the law backwards and forwards. On paper this guy does not look like he would be easy to sell a bridge to…..we will see.
Some feathers are being ruffled as to having Mike Yepremyan’s parents, Artak and Arni sit outside the courtroom while certain witnesses testify. Former friends of Mike’s that both of the parents had spoken to after the murder of their son. Is this any kind of violation of ‘victims rights’? I am not sure. What I am hearing and understanding, is a Judge not wanting to make any mistakes that in the event of a conviction, so will start the appeal process. If there are convictions and there is any money left certainly there will be an appeal, that is fairly common in cases like this.
Remember, I promised to do all I could to make this story known around the world. I got it in the Los Angeles Times, Column One front page above the crease, we discussed it throughout the internet, all of the local news channels and the icing on the cake for me is Luce Villareal, taping for what will be a segment on DATELINE. If you will, prior to my participation in this case this was a ‘two line story’ on the L.A. Times webpage……not anymore!
I am not positive as I have not been served yet with a subpoena, maybe when I return from vacation in a few weeks as to my having to testify? We will see! My reason and thoughts on this was last week’s question by Mr. Kessel to Danielle, Mike’s former girlfriend, ‘Do you know a Mr. Nazarian? ‘ or something along those lines. I am very sure, everyone knows Mr. Nazarian, just Google me! Hell, I Google myself sometimes when I am bored to see what Mr. Nazarian is doing.

Dr. Drew will be covering the Dr. Conrad Murray trail in the involuntary manslaughter charges in the case of Michael Jackson from gavel to gavel with a one hour show every night Monday – Friday at 9 PM EST – PST and 8 PM CST – MST. Straight Talk with John Nazarian will be covering the trial gavel to gavel Monday – Friday at 4 PM PST – 7 PM EST on live radio. The call in number is 1-818-572-8030 long distance charges to apply or call in using Skype internationally free.
Both will have excellent guest I feel sure.
Now that a jury is seated in the Michael Jackson death trial, with opening statements planned for Tuesday, Dr. Drew made it clear on his show last night that HLN will be covering the case every step of the way, gavel-to-gavel. The focus of the trial: how did the “King of Pop” really die? It’s a question the world has been asking for over two years. A Los Angeles County jury will decide whether Conrad is guilty of involuntary manslaughter. He’s accused of administering a fatal dose of a surgical anaesthetic to Jackson. A couple of Dr. Drew’s guests weighed in with their thoughts on the trial.
Judge Greg Mathis, host of “Judge Mathis,” explained how it’s possible for jurors to be impartial:
“The question is whether they can have a preconceived notion that is balanced and fair. Some folks might look at it and say ‘well I’m not sure, I just don’t know.’ And from what I’m hearing on both sides, eveyone has a point, and so I’m just going to wait and see. In fact, that’s what judges have to do, and so perhaps we have some of the juror candidates also that may have been able to have such a consideration.”
Brian Oxman, a close family friend of the Jackson family for over 24 years, said that it was fishy for Michael to announce a 50-date concert tour a couple months before he died:
“Everyone in this family knew full well, when 50 concerts were announced that this was a serious problem. I got a call from Latoya, who said, ‘Brian, he can’t do 50 concerts, they’re going to kill him!’”
What do you think? At the start of the trial, do you think that Jackson’s death was a conspiracy, or are you, like most jurors, going to wait and see what evidence is shown before making a decision?
Straight Talk with John J. Nazarian will kick off his coverage tonight with an in-depth look at the jury and what they might bring into this case or are any of them coming in their mind made up?
Nazarian’s show for September, 26, 2011, with John J. Nazarian co-host Vee Foster, guests Ken and Rose Turner:
Last night show with Nazarian had an error in it and for some reason you can not hear it her or on Straight Talk. I have downloaded the show because the guests were awesome and took like questions like the experts they are and answered them and with great insight. If we can retrieve the show from yesterday we will add an MP3 plugin to our site and load it for your listening pleasure.

With that said here are the the records on to bring you up to date on Dr. Arnold Klein, his bankruptcy and the fact that everyone is counter suing so many others. The twist and turns on this case give us, I believe, a look into how complicated the Involuntary Manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson.

Dr. Drew recently took a look at the jury selection process for the upcoming Dr. Conrad Murray trial with Judge Greg Mathis, host of “Judge Mathis”, and Jean Casarez, correspondent for Tru TV’s “In Session”. Dr. Drew and his guests examined the jury questionnaire administered to potential jurors to determine whether or not it will ensure impartiality. Dr Drew will be covering the latest in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray with an hour wrap up on HLN at 9 PM EDT.
Judge Mathis noted:
“Impartial juries are hard to come by with people as famous as Michael. But the good news is you’ll have critics who previously didn’t care for Michael, and then you’ll have fanatics who loved him to death, so it kind of offsets each other.”
Jean Casarez said that Murray’s defense attorney, Edward Chernoff, was extremely worried about stealth jurors who are only interested in making money off of the trial through interviews and book deals. She added:
“It’s interesting the judge said today to all the jurors that they would have to wait 90 days after the trial to accept any type of payment or benefit in regard to this trial and serving on this jury. An interesting thing jurors told right from the get-go.”
What do you think? Will the questionnaire ensure an impartial jury, or should the state use a more rigorous process when picking jurors for the Conrad Murray murder trial?

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor agreed to a motion by prosecutors to exclude six of Jackson’s former doctors — including Dr. Arnold Klein. He must be feeling like he got a get out of jail free card after the latest filings and counter claims in his bankruptcy.
In court papers filed Monday, defense attorneys Edward Chernoff and Nareg Gourjian alleged that Klein “administered frequent intramuscular injections of Demerol to Mr. Jackson for no valid medical purpose,” and that Jackson “became physiologically and psychologically dependent on Demerol.”
“I do not think it is relevant,” Judge Pastor said. Pastor also ruled that the defense could not make any reference to the 2003 search of Jackson’s ranch in Santa Barbara county, saying that it had no bearing on his death. So those drugs and the allegations of needle marks is out for Murray’s defense as well, what a win for the D. A. in this case.
Chernoff argued that the testimony would show that Jackson was “addicted to and withdrawing from Demerol” a factor Chernoff said was “important to our defense” . Judge Pastor said nope, no can do.
Pastor said he would allow testimony from two other doctors, Allen Metzger and David Adams. Murray’s defense team says Jackson asked Metzger in April 2009 to give him an intravenous sedative, a request the physician refused to grant.
Adams meanwhile gave Jackson the anesthetic propofol on four occasions in 2008, after the singer had oral surgery. Jackson also by many accounts used the drug as a sleep aid. Pastor also approved testimony from a nurse who treated Jackson in 2009.
Dr. Murray is facing charges for involuntary homicide in Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009. Murray could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
His defense team is expected to argue that Jackson gave himself an excessive dose of the drug while the doctor was out of the room at the singer’s mansion in the affluent Holmby Hills neighborhood near Los Angeles. The defense has also floated the theory that Jackson committed suicide.
Jury selection will begin on September 8, with opening statements scheduled for September 20 or 27.
