Crime News Insider - Trial Insider: People v. Jade Janks
play

05/15/23 • 42 min

Deputy District Attorneys Teresa Pham and Jorge Del Portillo talk about their trial strategies in prosecuting People v. Jade Janks.

On December 21, 2022, Jade Janks was found guilty of first degree murder. Janks murdered her former stepfather, Tom Merriman, after discovering nude photographs of herself on Tom's computer. Tom was the founder of the Butterfly Farms in Encinitas, CA and the murder took place in Solana Beach, CA.

This case received lots of publicity and was featured on CourtTV.

FACTS:

On December 23, 2020, Tom was transferred from Scripps Hospital to an aftercare facility and Jade Janks decided to clean Tom’s apartment for him before he was discharged. While she was cleaning Tom’s apartment, she discovered nude photos of herself on his computer. She was so disturbed by the discovery that she couldn’t shower alone and feared Tom would be discharged early and come home.

She began plotting the murder and sought help from a “fixer”, Alan Roach, who was a friend of a friend. The plan was to dose Tom with sleeping pills, get him to his bed, suffocate him, and stage it to look like an overdose.

On December 31, 2020, Janks dosed Tom after picking him up from Aviara Healthcare, but the fixer never showed up. The fixer sent his buddy Brian Salomon to help out, but when she asked Brian to strangle Tom, Brian immediately left.

Janks called her friend Adam for help. When Adam showed up, she confessed to dosing , suffocating and strangling Tom to death. She asked Adam to move Tom’s body into a wheelbarrow and into Tom’s bed to make it look like an overdose. Adam didn’t want any part of it and left.

Adam reported to the police that his friend confessed to murdering Tom. When authorities were looking for Tom, they couldn’t find him. When they brought Janks in for questioning, she claimed not to know where he was.

After hours of searching inside the property, in the early morning hours of Jan 2, 2021, detectives found Tom’s body buried under a pile of trash. After arresting Janks and searching her cell phone, detectives found very suspicious text messages including:

  • I just dosed the hell out of him.
  • I really didn’t want to involve that many people.
  • It’s going to be Weekend at Bernie’s.
  • I can’t keep a kicking body in my truck. (*says truck but likely meant trunk)

An autopsy found no signs of strangulation but did find toxic levels of zolpidem, otherwise known as Ambien.

Crime or Fiction: Each episode we look at the laws on the books and quiz the panelists to see if they can guess which law is fake. 2 are real, 1 is fake--can you guess which one is the fake? The theme of this episode are laws from the Solana Beach Municipal Code.

A. It’s illegal to have an apiary in a residential zone.

B. It’s illegal to tattoo a person’s skin if it has a rash or pimples.

C. It’s illegal to have bamboo over 15 feet tall.

  3. A North Carolina man’s conviction for assault with a deadly weapon was upheld on appeal. The defendant was convicted after bludgeoning his wife with a children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and the court said “when innocent objects are used in a deadly manner, such objects qualify as ‘deadly weapons’ under N.C. Gen. Stat. Ann. § § 14-32.”
  4. A woman in Louisiana unsuccessfully sued Wal-Mart for damages, claiming she was left bleeding and dizzy when shopping in the toy aisle and some children’s books fell on her head.

Crime News Insider - EXCLUSIVE: Robert Durst Prosecution Team - Part 1
play

10/18/21 • 38 min

Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys John Lewin, Habib Balian, Ethan Milius, Euguene Miyata, and Rob Britton join the podcast and discuss the prosecution of Robert Durst. In this episode, the prosecutors discuss investigating the case, interviewing Durst, preparing for trial, and catching a fabrication by Durst while he was on the witness stand. (Spoiler alert: there is a reference to the movie The Usual Suspects.)

The trial of Susan Berman's murder lasted over 4 months, had over 100 witness, had over 180,000 pages of discovery, and over 1,000 clips from interviews and trial footage that were presented to the jury in an organized and seamless way. Durst was tried and convicted of 1st degree murder on September 17, 2021 for the murder of Susan Berman, and the jury agreed Durst killed her because she was a witness in the disappearance of Kathie Durst who Durst allegedly killed in 1982. Durst was sentenced to life without parole on October 14, 2021.

Facts:

Kathie Durst mysteriously disappears on January 31, 1982. One of the last people to hear from her was the dean of Albert Einstein Medical School, where Kathie allegedly called in sick and said she wasn’t going to be able to attend her rotation. In November 2000, it becomes public that the police reopened the investigation into Kathie Durst’s disappearance. On December 24, 2000, a woman named Susan Berman is found murdered execution style in her home in Los Angeles. Who was Susan Berman? A close friend of Robert Durst and the daughter of a mobster. She was also someone who told others that she in fact placed the call to the dean of the med school and pretended to be Kathie, thus creating an alibi for Robert Durst. The police later receive a note postmarked December 23, 2000, saying there was a “cadaver” at Susan’s address in Beverly Hills, except “Beverly” is misspelled as “Beverley.”

On October 9, 2001, body parts of a person named Morris Black are found floating in Galveston Bay, Texas. Durst is arrested that day but posts bail and skips his hearing, only to be arrested a month later for shoplifting a sandwich. Durst is acquitted of murder on a claim of self-defense, even though Durst admitted to dismembering Morris Black after Black was shot and killed during a struggle with Durst.

A movie called “All Good Things” starring Ryan Gosling is released and is essentially a rendition of the crimes by Durst. After seeing the movie, Durst reaches out to the makers of the film and sings them praise, saying it’s essentially accurate. The makers of that film make The Jinx: The LIfe and Deaths of Robert Durst in 2015, where Durst sits down for an interview that lasted 20 hours over the course of several years. During the filming of The Jinx, the makers confront Durst with the writing of “Beverley” on the cadaver note and comparing it to a letter that Durst himself wrote to Susan Berman in the past (known as the "Sareb letter" after her son Sareb found the letter). It’s written the same way and Beverley is misspelled the same way. At the end of the documentary, Durst is caught on a hot mic and says “There it is. You’re caught. What did you do? Killed them all of course.”

On March 14, 2015, Durst is arrested in New Orleans and had a loaded .38 caliber revolver with one spent shell casing, 5 ounces of marijuana, $42K in cash, his passport, maps of Louisiana, Florida, and Cuba, and a flesh toned latex map. Police later discovered an additional $117K in cash sent by a friend. Durst eventually pled guilty to a federal firearm charge and then was extradited to California to face charges of the murder of Susan Berman.

Crime News Insider - School Shootings

School Shootings

Crime News Insider

06/06/22 • 33 min

On May 24, 2022, an 18-year-old fatally shot 19 students and 2 teachers, and wounded seventeen other people, at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, United States. Earlier in the day, he shot his grandmother in the forehead at home, severely wounding her.

There have been 119 school shootings since 2018, in which 88 people have died and 229 people were injured, according to Education Week.

San Diego is no stranger to school shootings. From the San Diego Union Tribune:

"In January 1979, a 16-year-old killed the principal and a custodian and injured nine others at the now-closed Cleveland Elementary School in the Lake Murray neighborhood. In August 1996, a master’s degree student shot and killed three San Diego State University professors on campus. In March 2001, there were two shootings: one in which a 15-year-old killed two students and injured 13 others at Santana High School in Santee, and another in which an 18-year-old injured five at Granite Hills High School in El Cajon."

And finally in 2010, 41 y.o. Brendan Liam O’Rourke entered Kelly Elementary School and shot at several children, striking two 2nd graders who fortunately survived after they were life flighted to a hospital. O’Rourke was charged with seven counts of attempted murder and seven counts of assault with a gun and prosecuted by our current District Attorney and guest, Summer Stephan.

Our hearts go out to the Uvalde community as they try to recover from this horrific tragedy.

Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys John Lewin, Habib Balian, Ethan Milius, Euguene Miyata, and Rob Britton join the podcast and discuss the prosecution of Robert Durst. In this episode, the prosecutors discuss organizing discovery, preparing clips for cross examination, how they decided who would do opening and closing argument, whether they could prove the case without the cadaver note, changing Durst's catheter bag, what surprised them during Durst's testimony, and who would play John Lewin if they made a movie about this case.

The trial of Susan Berman's murder lasted over 4 months, had over 100 witness, had over 180,000 pages of discovery, and over 1,000 clips from interviews and trial footage that were presented to the jury in an organized and seamless way.

Crime News Insider

10/17/22 • 36 min

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Deputy DA Ben Barlow joins the podcast to talk about prosecuting domestic violence cases, the impact of these crimes, and helping survivors recover from abuse.

Harris County, Texas reported that 35% of homicides in its county were related to domestic violence. Atlanta reported 25% of homicides in its county were related to domestic violence. Domestic violence is a topic that is, unfortunately, always in the news. Just recently, in McGregor, TX, 5 people were shot dead in a suspected domestic violence rampage. And in San Bernardino, California, a suspect was on the run after killing the mother of his child and abducting their 15 year-old child. Tragically, the 15 year-old girl was killed after the suspect began shooting at the police and her death is still under investigation.

If you or someone you know needs assistance, help is available. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233. If you are in San Diego County, you can go to One Safe Place in San Marcos, or the Family Justice Center in downtown San Diego.

Bio: Benjamin Barlow began his career as a prosecutor in the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office in 2010. During his career, he has served in the South Bay office, the Vista Office, the Sex Crimes Division, and the Family Protection Division. He was first elected to the DDAA Board in 2014 and re-elected in 2016. Mr. Barlow was elected Vice President in 2018 and elected as President in 2020 and reelected in 2022.

Crime or Fiction: Each episode we look at the laws on the books; 2 are real, 1 is fake, and see if you can guess which one is the fake. The theme of this episode is the history of domestic violence laws.

A. In 1899, California was the first state to criminalize domestic violence.

B. In 1871, the Alabama Supreme Court was the first in the nation to rescind the legal right of men to beat their wives.

C. In 1911, the first Family Court in the nation was established in Buffalo, NY.
