October 5, 2012 and here we are sitting on the 6th floor of the Van Nuys Court House, Judge Dohi is presiding. In the batters cage we have Zareh Manjikian aka ‘The Shooter’, Vahagn Jurian aka ‘The Short One / Driver‘, Hovic Dzhuryan aka ‘ Da Brother’, and the girl that changed all of these peoples lives, Khatun Vardanyan aka ‘Queen of Lube‘. It is the day that has cost their parents I am sure a few hundred thousand dollars in fees for wonderful vacations and fun money for all of their ‘defense’ lawyers pockets!

The security to get into court this afternoon is as tight as I have ever seen, why? There are a few dozen Armenians present and the court and the sheriff’s department are having to deal with the ‘Armenian Factor’. These people could break into a food fight throwing pork chops at each other or god for bid, dancing and singing. Worse yet is hearing loud ‘Armos’ threatening each other and we all know they will kill each other for little or no provocation, ask any defense attorney! LMAO Everyone going into the courtroom are required to surrender their California I.D. cards and once in no one will be allowed back in if they leave the courtroom. Today is ‘life changing day’, just like three years ago when Khatun put into motion the murder of Mike ‘Gombert’ Yepremyan, it was a life changing day for Ani and Artak Yepremyan….

Something I noticed was how youthful Judge Dohi is, he looks very young and he speaks clearly and sharply.

The defense lawyers were all ready to take their final shots of silliness, all we really needed was Rip Taylor to come running through throwing confetti! I am not going to promote any of these lawyers on this site and their names are not going to get any print time here. They are despicable, especially the one that purposely tormented Artak and Ani during the trial…..good luck in your appeal, Jerk! I loved watching you open your pie hole as you attempted to stretch your jaw!

Suggestion: Try standing by a door and wait for someone to open it into your face! This one was the most annoying, nothing you said made anything better, other than to bore the shit out of all us having to listen.

The lawyer that took off to Mexico, odd he must have stayed in a cave, he was as pale as they come. On the other hand, it could be the realization that he is not going to get paid very much anymore from this sucker….his client went down for 50 years! A public defender could have got the same result, certainly they could not have done any worse. I hope the clients ask for a refund.

Brooklier who I know and enjoy speaking with is a decent lawyer who has a style that is smooth and looked like a $20.00 bill surrounded by a bag of nickels. (Nickels guess which ones you are).

Edward Nison, Deputy District Attorney, was still battling for the ‘victim’, as the defense lawyers were throwing so much crap around and hoping it would stick. Especially that miserable slob that ‘Mad Dogged’ the Yepremyans. Edward Nison was throwing smack downs and Judge Dohi was listening and understanding. The judge is, I am sure, very aware of all of these shenanigans, ALL of the hired guns that were hired got their lunches handed to them. One or two of these clowns pretending to be lawyers even took cheap shots at Deputy D.A. Nison, not a problem, Nison too listened, took the attack and threw it back at the ‘clown’ that thought the cheap shot would rattle him.

Rattle Nison? Nison is one of those deputy district attorneys that no one is going to rattle, especially this group of ‘payasos’ aka defense lawyers.

Why rob banks, just go to law school, pass the bar and set up a law practice and call yourself a defense lawyer. Perfect, then go find yourself an Armenian employee and throw hooks out baited with shish kabob and wait for the ‘illiterates’ to bite…then tell them you will get their loved ones off the hook and take in all of that cash……life is good!

For me it was like music to my ears, 50 years to life for Zareh Manjikian, 25 years to life for Vahagn Jurian and the two who put it all into play? 270 days in the county jail for Khatun ‘Kat’ Vardanyan and her brother Hovic Dzhuryan. The two facilitators also will have five years of probation…..hey listen, Johnfucious has a thought. When Kat and Hovic are released on probation, (breathing free air), they better watch there P’s and Q’s and behave themselves, they have some major time hanging over their heads if they screw up. (Probation’s recommendation was that they go to state prison.)

Here is the best part, at some point the mothers and fathers of the 50 year fool and the 25 year fool will begin to have a ‘bitter taste’, total ‘poop mouth’ and they will begin to think! “ The Armenian Factor “ will kick in, for sure, they will begin to eat those close to them, ‘My kid is in prison’ and ‘these two lugs are out free’, LMAO this is wonderful, I am happy that Khatun and Hovic got probation, I am serious. Listen to my reason, as ‘Johnfucious’ say, everyday Khatun and Hovic will be reminded that their bullshit sent two of their buddies away to prison for LIFE, see you later! And the parents of Manjikian and Jurian will at some point be throwing bags of goat shit at the two of them and the ‘wars’ will start.

None of of the defendants have ever apologized to the Mike Yepremyan’s mom and dad and the defense lawyers are good with this position. Sure, these guys are going to ‘appeal’…better cash your check first ‘payasso’. The lawyers for Khatun and Hovic, they not going to appeal shit, they dodged a bullet, they know it and everyone in that courtroom knows it. Brooklier and the other one did ask for bail and the judge was very nice and granted it, $500,000.00 each! LMAO That would buy a lotta lube and yogurt, no one is going to post that bail. Hell by now everyone in custody has made friends and becoming cuddly I am sure during those special moments. Besides, they need to save up some more money, I understand one of the defense lawyers is looking at a new Jaguar! Note to Defense Lawyer: Armos don’t stay stupid, they get angry and vengeful when they think they someone ‘shook’ them down….smile!

Personally and on behalf of the family I want to thank the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, Nancy Lidamore, Head Deputy D.A. for her time and compassion she gave us, Edward Nison for helping to make sense out of a system that makes little or no sense, Lt. Hamilton of the North Hollywood Homicide, his leadership and focus, we thank you, Det. Kirkpatrick for all of his patience and for being a good listener. Rose, Ken and Julie for getting all the stories up and making sure the ‘numbers’ continued to climb. And a very special thanks to Detective Thomas Townsend, who never let go, kept the investigation on course and who relentlessly fought the “Armenian Factor“.

And again, a very special thanks for those who convinced those that murdered Mike Yepremyan to fight, post bail and to fight, Thank all of you! For Hovic and Khatun they are in the exact same place that they would have been had they accepted a deal from the district attorney’s office. The only difference, the money you donated to you lawyers wonderful lifestyle ! LMAO, we all remember the trip to Mexico, brilliant, I cant make this stuff up! Note to self: Contact the manufactures of
LUBE and ask for two or three tubs of free samples for all of the free publicity we gave them on DESPERATEEXES.com

Rose please look into that would you….see if they have flavors?

Many ask, ‘John what did you do?’ I worked diligently with the Yepremyan family trying to understand and try and figure out why, why did someone take their son Mike from them. Was it really a ‘text’ message? Could someone or a group be so ignorant to kill their son for calling someone a “bitch” on a text? My primary goal was to make sure that this case did not become like one or two others in the Armenian ghettos, that being forgotten or ‘Cold’, we had to beat the “Armenian Factor“. I will take credit for taking a one paragraph story and making this a news worthy story that went National! Thanks to Mr. Robert Faturechi of the Los Angeles Times for putting the story on the front page! Today’s sentencing of the murderers was covered by numerous news and television networks. Lots of photos were taken and now everyone will know who did it and what they looked like, I did all of that and damn proud of it. I want to also thank Artak Yepremyan for giving me a lesson in the Russian and Armenian culture, especially when tracking liars, crooks, thieves and murderers.

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.”

L. A. times Reporter Robert Faturechi stated in an article that; “A suspect in a fatal Los Angeles shooting who was captured in Puerto Rico only to flee again after being released on bail was arrested in Van Nuys on Thursday afternoon, law enforcement sources said. Zareh Manjikian is suspected of fatally shooting a 19-year-old just hours after the teen sent an insulting text message in a bizarre slaying that drew wide-scale media attention.

More than a year after the slaying, Manjikian was tracked down to a beach town outside Puerto Rico’s capital city, San Juan, where federal authorities arrested him.”

Authorities had asked Judge Gloria Maynard in Puerto Rico to hold Manjikian without bail during extradition proceedings, but she set bail at $50,000. Zareh Manjikian promptly paid the bond and fled Puerto Rico that “shocked police in Los Angeles, who have been investigating the case for more than 18 months”, and Mike Ypremyan’s parents, Ani and Art Yepremyan who could not believe that a judge had allowed Manjikian to be released on a no bond request by U. S. Marshals.

On Thursday afternoon, Manjikian was arrested by a federal fugitive task force at the courthouse in Van Nuys. The murder suspect was attempting to turn himself in, but was arrested before he could, said LAPD Det. Thomas Townsend. When Manjikian was first captured by U.S. marshals in Puerto Rico, his brother was arrested with him on unrelated charges. Authorities said that it appears Manjikian, after being released on bail, may have assumed his brother’s identity to fly from the island territory to Philadelphia, and then to Las Vegas, before coming to Los Angeles. The decision to turn himself in may have been motivated by pressure from “close associates” in Los Angeles who had come under scrutiny from police and federal agents since Manjikian fled, authorities said.

“This is what we’ve all been waiting for,” said the family’s private investigator, John Nazarian. “We’re all very pleased that the error in judgment we watched in Puerto Rico has been corrected by police here in Los Angeles.”

C.J. Lin, Staff Writer of the Contra Costa Times reported; ” The suspected gunman in the fatal 2009 shooting of a Granada Hills man was arrested Thursday, just weeks after skipping bail in Puerto Rico and evading federal authorities. Zareh Manjikian, 23, was arrested at Van Nuys Superior Court, where he had gone to surrender in the shooting death of 19-year-old Mike Yepremyan in North Hollywood.

“I wanted to surrender and straighten things out,” Manjikian told KCBS-Channel 2, which he had called to alert to his surrender. “I want people to know that I am innocent and I’m coming clean once and for all.”

“While the suspect is now safely behind bars, however, I will not relent in demanding that we get to the bottom of his shocking release by the court in Puerto Rico,” said Councilman Paul Krekorian, who has called for a federal investigation into the judge’s actions.

Manjikian is being held without bail. John Nazarian, a private investigator hired by the victim’s family, called Manjikian’s surrender “bizarre.” “The only reason why he showed up, the only reason why he turned himself in,” he said, “was because there was no place for this guy to hide.”

John J. Nazarian has an article up on Desperate Exes.com that is well worth a read on his feelings about this as well as the interview that Manjikian gave to KCBS-Channel 2 as FBI agents was arresting him.

As Ari and Art Yepremyan still grieve and still try to come to grips with all of the questions as to why this fine young man is now dead the L. A. Times picked up Mike’s murder on page one of the paper that came out today.

The front page of the L. A. Times Article appearing today May 6, 2010 says in part; “It was the text message of their lives. In typical teenage fashion, Mike Yepremyan sent his girlfriend a text insulting one of her friends. No one realized it would leave two families and a circle of friends devastated”.

Mike Yepremyan, the only son of Ani Atajyan and Art Yepremyan, sent a text message on November 18, 2009 that ended his life in a tragedy that family and friends have yet to began to deal with…

The L. A. Times article goes on to say; “It was the kind of text message many teenagers might send. Mike Yepremyan, 19, wanted to see his girlfriend, but she was hanging out with another girl. So he sent her a pouty text with a nasty comment about her companion.

When Mike wasn’t in class at Pierce College or working as a dispatcher for a private ambulance company, he could usually be found with his closest buddies. At Los Angeles Baptist, the private high school in the San Fernando Valley where they met, they were known as the Middle Eastern kids.”

Mike’s best friends that he always hung out with was Ohan Barsamian an Armenian. Ali Hosseini a Persian, the article says they were like brothers.

In the L. A. Times recount of that day and who Mike Yepremyan was this sentence stood out to me and brought tears flowing, “For Valentine’s Day one year, Mike borrowed money from his father to buy a long-stemmed rose for each of the 150 young ladies in their high school.

The day of the murder family and friends say that Mike fighting with his girlfriend, Denielle Wegrzyn, was a rarity. “Mike worshiped her, always admiring her long blond hair. And she was learning Armenian for him. After two years of dating, she’d picked up numbers and common expressions”.

Those messages and the events that unfolded that night are described in court records and in testimony from a preliminary hearing. Ohan, Denielle and others offered further details in interviews for the The L. A. Times front page article.

”… Mike didn’t like Kat. He thought she dressed too provocatively, and he worried she might be a bad influence on his girlfriend, his friends said… …The girls were parked at a gas station in Kat’s pearl-white Infiniti when Mike’s response lit up Denielle’s iPhone, tucked in the cup holder:

“Every time u hang out with that bitch u guys get hookah. Is there something cool bout her n hookah that u enjoy so much?”

In interviews and in courtroom testimony, Denielle described what happened next:

Kat peered at the phone’s screen.

“Oh, I’m a bitch, huh?” she snapped.

…”My brother is gonna beat him up,” she said, according to Denielle’s testimony.

Kat picked up her own phone and dialed her sibling, Hovik Dzhuryan, switching to Armenian when he picked up. The words were incomprehensible to Denielle, until the end of the call. “Oot mek oot,” Kat said, according to Denielle. “818.” Denielle knew how to count in Armenian. Kat was reciting Mike’s phone number.”

Per the L. A. Times article an “alarmed, Denielle asked to be dropped off at her car, parked at Kat’s house in Van Nuys. Once home, she sent Mike a text. However, Mike’s response frightened her per Robert Faturechi L. A. Times reporter.

“…When his two friends returned they said Mike looked pale. He said Kat’s brother had called and said he wanted to fight..

The three piled into Mike’s car a Nissan Altima …They talked about how to handle the mess Mike had created. The calls to Mike’s phone continued, but the voice on the other end no longer belonged to Kat’s brother. It was deeper and more confrontational….

…Mike insisted on the Valley, where the boys already were. He picked the Sears parking lot in North Hollywood. It was well-lighted, wide open…. …The group was relieved. Half an hour had passed, and the other side had not shown. Then about 8:30 p.m., a black BMW with no front license plate pulled in.

Two young men stepped out. The driver, the shorter of the two, wore an orange hoodie. His hair was trimmed close, the same length as his beard. The passenger was taller and had a leather jacket wrapped around a wide frame.

The strangers grilled Mike. Why had he called Kat the name he did? Why had he disrespected her? Mike tried to explain.

“When you translate it, it’s a lot worse,” he said. “I didn’t mean it like that.”

The exchange seemed to be coming to a peaceful conclusion then the driver of the car …”slugged Mike in the face…. …The taller stranger intercepted him with what appeared to be a sweeping punch aimed at the back of Mike’s head. His fist was clenched inside his jacket sleeve. When he made contact, there was a boom and a shower of sparks, witnesses said.

Mike collapsed, killed by a gunshot wound to the head… …Authorities later found a single 9-millimeter shell casing beside a pool of blood on the asphalt…

…A nurse at Mission Community Hospital called Mike’s parents at 2:30 in the morning. She wanted Art Yepremyan and Ani Atajyan to come to the hospital. She wouldn’t say why. …

…Ani called Mike’s cellphone. Then she tried Ohan’s. A police officer answered. “You have to go to the hospital,” he said.

That’s when they knew….

…Authorities say the driver of the BMW was Vahagn Jurian, 22, of Van Nuys, described in courtroom testimony as Kat’s cousin. Jurian is believed to have fled to Armenia, which does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S. The district attorney’s office has charged him with being an accessory after the fact to the killing.

Kat, now 21, was arrested and charged with murder and conspiracy to commit assault. …Prosecutors did not charge her brother, however, citing a lack of evidence.

The day of the arraignment for Kat the L. A. Times article states; “…The courtroom was packed, the atmosphere tense. Friends and relatives of Mike filled one half of the room; Kat’s family and friends crowded the other side. A line of bailiffs stood between them.

….At the close of the hearing, Superior Court Judge Karen Nudell dismissed the murder charge against Kat, but ordered her to stand trial on the conspiracy count. …When the judge dismissed the murder charge, Mike’s mother wailed…

Sitting in his office being interviewed by Robert Faturechi L. a. Times writer Art Yepremyan …”pointed out a plaque Mike had given him, commemorating a star for which the teenager had paid to name after his father. Art says he steps out of his Granada Hills home some nights and looks up in the star’s direction.”

This is a four page article that begins on the front page of the L. A. Times, have tissues ready, it takes up four pages in the online edition of the paper which came out today. This article is so well written I think it will be picked up internationally and perhaps even be a segment on one of the shows at one of the main stream media special editions. Rose speaks.com is attempting to contact John J. Nazarian of Desperate Exes.com for his take on this well written article.
