Bay Area CHP officer Sends Naked Photos From Arrested Womens Phones To His Own Phone In CHP "Game"

Officer Sean Harrington, the Dublin CHP officer under investigation for allegedly sending nude photos of a DUI suspect from her phone to his own, has resigned.

The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office also filed felony charges against Harrington on Friday.

The charges resulted from an investigation into allegations that Harrington had illegally searched the cell phones of female arrestees and then transmitted personal photos of the women from their phones to Harrington's personal cell phone.

The investigation was led by the District Attorney's Office in cooperation with the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division.

According to our media partner, the Contra Costa Times, court documents suggest that officer Harrington confessed to stealing explicit photos on several occasions.

Harrington, 5-year CHP veteran, says the photo scandal was part of an ongoing game among officers, however, the District Attorney's Office will not be filing criminal charges against any other CHP officer.

The DA's office says the first incident occurred in Livermore on August 6th, 2014 when a 19 year-old woman was arrested for felony DUI. While she was being treated at a local hospital, Harrington allegedly searched her phone and sent private photos from her cell phone to his.

The second incident occurred on August 29th, 2014 when Harrington arrested a woman in San Ramon for DUI, and she was then booked into the Martinez Detention Facility. After she was released from custody, she learned that her phone had been searched while she was in jail, and that several of her personal photos had been sent to Harrington's personal cell phone. The woman's attorney then notified the DA's Office.

"She's tremendously distraught," said Rick Madsen, the attorney for the young woman pulled over by Officer Harrington on August 29. He claims his client has been traumatized by this invasion of her privacy.

Mother Killed & Raped w/ a Hammer By Son 18

A South Texas  jury took less than an hour Wednesday in deciding the life sentence for 18-year-old Kevin Jazrael Davis, who pleaded guilty earlier in the week to killing Kimberly Hill.

Prosecutors say Davis in March struck his mother about 20 times with a hammer. He then sexually assaulted her corpse.

KZTV reports when police asked if it was his first time, Davis said, "I guess I lost my virginity to a dead corpse."

Davis called 911 the next day to say he had killed someone.

Jurors this week were shown a video of Davis' interview with detectives in which he acknowledged having violent fantasies toward women.

It has been reported that the teen told investigators he's sane and was aware of his actions in March.

Mother Murdered w/ Scissors by Son

A 20-year-old University of California at Santa Cruz student was charged with murder Tuesday for allegedly fatally stabbing his 57-year-old mother with scissors at her home in Hayward on Saturday evening.

Joseph Badiali was scheduled to be arraigned in Alameda County Superior Court in Hayward this afternoon on the charge that he murdered Rosemary Badiali at a single-story home at 27548 La Porte Avenue shortly before 6:50 p.m. on Saturday.

Prosecutors also charged Joseph Badiali with three counts of cruelly wounding an animal for allegedly killing three Chihuahua dogs at the residence.

Hayward police Officer Ryan Sprague said in a probable cause statement that a neighbor called police to report that Badiali's grandmother had come to his door and told him that Badiali had killed his mother.

The neighbor said that as he was talking to the grandmother Badiali walked up and had blood on him and admitted to the neighbor that he had killed his mother.

Sprague wrote that when he arrived at the scene he found Badiali in the middle of the street with blood on his hands, legs and shorts and he arrested him.

Sprague said that when he asked Badiali where his mother was, Badiali said, "She's gone" and when he asked for an explanation Badiali said, "She's dead."

Officers then searched the residence and found Rosemary Badiali lying in a pool of blood at the back of the house, according to Sprague.

She was face down and had multiple stab wounds to her head, Sprague said. Hayward firefighters pronounced her dead at 7:10 p.m. on Saturday, he said.

Convicted killer is the prime suspect!

- Authorities held no record of his conviction for bludgeoning and stabbing his wife Rudite to death in Latvia.

- It also emerged Zalkalns was arrested in London on suspicion of indecent assault on a 14-year-old girl in 2009, but was never charged.

- Police had warned he "clearly poses a risk to the public"

 

SAY WHAT?

Convicted killer Arnis Zalkalns is the prime suspect in the disappearance of the 14-year-old, who was found dead in the River Brent on Tuesday, following an extensive search.
An area of Boston Manor Park in west London, has been cordoned off.
Zalkalns was filmed cycling along the same route behind Alice on the day she failed to return to her home in Hanwell on 28 August.
He was reported as missing just days later.
The 41-year-old worked at a building site in Isleworth, west London, and is thought to have come to the UK in 2007.
Authorities faced criticism for apparently holding no record of his conviction for bludgeoning and stabbing his wife Rudite to death in Latvia.
It also emerged Zalkalns was arrested in London on suspicion of indecent assault on a 14-year-old girl in 2009, but was never charged.
Police had warned he "clearly poses a risk to the public" and urged anyone who saw him not to approach him.
Alice was last seen on CCTV walking along the Grand Union Canal towards Hanwell at 4.26pm on August 28.
Zalkalns had not accessed his bank account or used his mobile phone since September 3, nor had he returned home to his partner and young child.
He also left behind his passport.
Forensic officers searched his semi-detached house in Ealing, as part of their investigation.

Deputies Kill a Man In Custody

The undated photo provided by the Denver Department of Safety shows Marvin Booker, a homeless Denver street preacher.

 The 5-foot, 135-pound inmate died in July 2010 after deputies subdued him in the booking area of the jail.

The trial comes amid calls for a federal investigation of the department over other abuse cases.
Sheriff Gary Wilson resigned in July as the city agreed to pay $3.3 million to settle another federal jail-abuse lawsuit by a former inmate over a jail beating.
Booker, 56, was cursing and refusing to follow orders, authorities have said. He was restrained by deputies who got on top of him, placed him in a sleeper hold, handcuffed him and shocked him with a stun gun.
Attorney Mari Newman, who is representing the family of Booker, countered in court that the force was a malicious overreaction to the inmate.
"The fact that he was frail makes it all the more outrageous," she said.
Denver's medical examiner said Booker died of cardiorespiratory arrest during restraint, and ruled his death a homicide. The report listed other factors in his death, including emphysema, an enlarged heart and recent cocaine use.
Rice said Booker's death was the result of his own poor choice to keep resisting deputies even as they tried to subdue him with increasing force.
"Mr. Booker made the decision to fight the officers, who never lost their temper and never lost control of their actions," he said. "All he had to do was stop, follow the rules and behave like all of the other inmates and we wouldn't be here."
Rice claimed an inmate in better health would have survived.
Prosecutors declined to charge the deputies, and department officials never disciplined them, saying it was reasonable for the deputies to believe he could harm someone and that force was necessary to restrain him.
Booker's family filed the federal suit seeking unspecified damages against the city and county of Denver as well as deputies Faun Gomez, James Grimes, Kyle Sharp and Kenneth Robinette and Sgt. Carrie Rodriguez.
In a rare move, the city last week accepted liability for Booker's death, which could prevent his family's attorneys from presenting evidence from other excessive force complaints.
Surveillance footage shows three officers wrestling Booker onto chairs then down to the floor before two others join the scuffle. One puts his arm around Booker's neck for about three minutes. Officials said at the time that a deputy warned Booker to stop resisting.
An autopsy report said deputies had their body weight on Booker's back for four minutes while he was face-down on the floor.
The video also shows deputies carrying Booker's limp body to an isolation cell after one of them stunned him for at least eight seconds.

Man Shoots Intruder, Who Turns Out To Be a Cop

Should He Even Be In Jail, 

Let Alone Face the Death Penalty?

This May, Officer Charles Dinwiddie and fellow members of his SWAT Team crawled into the windows of a Killeen, Texas home, unannounced, at 5:30 am.
The practice is known as a ‘no-knock raid.’ It is intended to catch the occupants of the home off-guard.
In this case, however, it ended in tragedy. The man living in the home opened fire, wounding another officer in the leg and killing Dinwiddie. Two other officers received only minor injuries due to their protective armor.
The raid was intended to look for drugs in Marvin Louise Guy’s home. Instead, no drugs were found, although a few pieces of evidence suggesting drug use was recovered.
Guy, who woke from a dead sleep to find the officers entering his home, is now facing the death penalty in Texas for shooting a cop.
Unbelievably, this is not the first time it happened in Texas. In December 2013, another man shot a police officer when they conducted a no-knock raid to look for drugs.
In that case, the jury refused to indict, noting that Henry Goedrich Magee had a right to defend his home and his pregnant girlfriend from what he believed were intruders.
His lawyer agreed.
“This was a terrible tragedy that a deputy sheriff was killed, but Hank Magee believed that he and his pregnant girlfriend were being robbed,” Dick DeGuerin, told the Associated Press. “He did what a lot of people would have done. He defended himself and his girlfriend and his home.”
In this case, however, Guy, who is 49, is being charged not only with capital murder for Dinwiddie’s death, but for three cases of attempted capital murder for the other cops injured while crawling into the home.
The prosecutor Bell County District Attorney Henry Garza has also said he plans to seek the death penalty against Guy, despite the precedent set when Magee was ultimately not charged at all.
Some point out that the fact Guy is black and Magee is white may be one of the reasons for seeking the ultimate punishment.
Others think that it is a sign of a police force and legal system gone amok.
“Had the man in the dark of night been a burglar, Guy would be a Texas hero. They would hold a parade for him and name a day “Marvin Louis Guy Day” to celebrate how he took out some scuzzball who nobody cared about anyway,” criminal justice blogger Scott Greenfield wrote, “But Dinwiddie was a cop, even though there was no way Guy could have known that.  Even in Killeen, smoking some crack* isn’t that big a deal.”
