Two police officers were charged in the death of a mentally ill homeless man in Southern California who was beaten and repeatedly shocked with a stun gun during his arrest, authorities said Wednesday.

Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said Officer Manuel Ramos was charged with one count each of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of 37-year-old Kelly Thomas after a violent confrontation on July 5 with officers.

Police Cpl. Jay Cicinelli was charged with one count each of involuntary manslaughter and excessive force.

The prosecutors said Thomas was acting “in self-defense, in pain and in a state of panic. His numerous pleas of `I’m sorry,’ `I can’t breathe,’ `Help’ `Dad’ — all to no avail. Screams, loud screams, didn’t help.”

Six officers were placed on paid administrative leave after the incident that occurred while police were investigating reported vehicle break-ins at a transit hub.

Thomas suffered severe head and neck injuries and was taken off life support five days later.

Thomas suffered from schizophrenia and lived on the streets even though he received support from family and friends.

Police said Thomas ran when officers tried to search his bag. A struggle followed when they tried to arrest him for investigation of possession of stolen goods.

Video from a bystander’s cell phone taken from a distance showed parts of the bloody encounter in which Thomas can be heard screaming for his father.

Surveillance video aboard a bus showed agitated passengers telling the driver that officers beat and repeatedly used a stun gun during the arrest.

After the incident, the police chief went on medical leave and the embattled City Council hired a law enforcement expert to investigate Police Department practices.

Incensed community members held demonstrations and started an effort to recall the mayor and two councilmembers over the incident.

Ron Thomas, the father of the dead man, filed a claim seeking damages from the city.

He has previously released his son’s medical records showing Thomas suffered broken bones in his face, choked on his own blood and was repeatedly shocked with two stun guns.

Probating A Will In A Small Texas town?

March 27th, 2011 2 comments

My dad died this year living his ninety year old wife as executrix of his will, I was next if my stepmother was not able to serve. which she was not. she is well know in this because she was very active, everyone knows her mind is going. I have P.O.A, there was a hearig to declare her incompetent, the day of the hearing the lawyer that made the will presented to the judge he wanted the banker be repersenative for my stepm, without my knowledge or my lawyer’s. my lawyer told the judge he had made several attempts by ph, and mail without return, and the judge said you have not talked. I’ll give you a minute to talk. I went ahead an agree to this. I feel violated and disrepected. I wint to the bank and tried to get bank I was told my P.O.A. was not good death. I have an expiration on p.o.a 2030. I tried to get a statement of liens or judgement against. the person look in computer and the judge had the records. and it was not on the comp. Can they do this? the money dad gave me bef H D

1. I have no idea what a POA is.
2. Lots of small towns are crooked.
3. Suspicious that a "banker" (he who holds the accounts, huh?) is appointed to manage the s-mother’s affairs instead of a neutral third party.
4. Giving you ONLY one minute is expressed prejudice and grounds for an appeal
5. Records cannot be removed from a computer and given to a judge. The judge would recieve certified COPIES of the records.
6. Unless you are a moron and have irritated everyone in the town with loud whining and clumsy actions, you have grounds to blow this open.

You need another attorney and then let him/her handle this.

Just remember this. If the estate is small, the lawyers–even the good ones if you should find one (lots of luck) will eat the money up and no one will have anything.
