An Award Winning Series on Guardianship
My investigative research has uncovered a major flaw in America’s court system. It has to do with how overburdened and underfunded courts deal with family disputes over what to do with an elderly Mom or Dad. A growing number of families, nationwide, have learned that once a family member turns to the courts for help their parent could be placed under an odious elder guardianship situation managed by total stranger. Families caught up in this system say it turned their aging parent’s final years into a nightmare. These are my findings about the system in one state.

My Latest Book Has Landed!
Check out the cool trailer for my latest book. Just click in the box above.
Thinking Outside The Crime and Justice Box is a compilation of some of my favorite and most thought provoking columns – with updates and new text. The book discusses today’s headline crime cases as well as crime and justice issues readers may not realize even existed. Compelling human stories at the core of crime are often the centerpiece of my columns and reading about stranger’s struggles can help readers better understand the dynamics surrounding crime, law enforcement and justice. Look, there is good and evil in the world and I figure it is my job to point it out.
The e-book is available here: – here. The hold-in-your-hand book is coming soon! Thanks to the kind folks at Creators Publishing.

The U.S. Constitution Says Treat All Defendants the Same
Equal treatment under the law, right? I think every American agrees that when it comes to law enforcement all citizens should be treated the same way.
So, how to explain the disparity in post-arrest treatment between last year’s George Floyd protestors and this year’s detainees from the breach at the U.S. Capitol?
Are Guns Really the Problem?
The White House is launching a new assault to bring down the crime rate.
As you’ve likely heard crime, especially homicides, has exploded in many major hotspot cities over the last year or so. President Biden says he knows what to do, he’s been at this for years and he’s got a plan ready to launch that includes several definitive steps.
Incarceration Nation: Even After Prison Many Americans are Held Captive
Did you realize that there are more Americans on parole or probation than are held within the prison system? Yep, it’s hard to fathom but 1 in 58 American adults – about 4.4 million citizens – are currently under some sort of community supervision.
Do they all need to be? Doubtful. And the status quo is costing taxpayers billions every single year.
The Florida Condo Collapse – Lots of Blame to Go Around
While politicians in Washington continue to play games with an urgently needed $1 trillion infrastructure relief bill the nation was hit full face with the cost of ignoring what needs to be rebuilt in this country.
The collapse of half the Champlain Towers South condo in Surfside, Florida should act as a red flag warning for us all. The trillion-dollar fix-it bill is pending because much of America, like the Champlain Towers, is in dire need of repair.
Here’s Why Most Arrested Rioters Will Not Be Prosecuted
Perhaps you’ve heard about charges being dropped against most of last summer’s George Floyd protestors. Prosecutors from Oregon to New York have chosen not to pursue a host of different charges against those arrested after peaceful protests turned into destructive riots.
Outrageous, you might think. If someone commits the crime of looting, arson, property damage or physical assault they should do the time. What is wrong with these prosecutors!?
Who Benefits From the Biden-Harris Immigration Policy?
Let’s talk calmly and objectively about US immigration policy, shall we?
And, let’s focus on what’s happened so far this year following our nation’s latest change in strategy. Those changes have sparked an unprecedented flood of refugees across our southern border.
