Father of the Year Arrested

The more they bicker, the more likely it will be that someone is going to talk...


PORTLAND — The father of Ayla Reynolds, the Waterville toddler who police believe met with foul play, faces a charge of domestic violence after his arrest in Portland a week ago.
The alleged victim in the case is one of only three people who were home the night Reynolds disappeared.
Portland police say a lieutenant spotted Justin DiPietro, 26, in front of 88 Spring St. on July 6 at 11:15 p.m. He and a woman, a former girlfriend, were arguing when he grabbed and pushed her, a police statement said.
DiPietro was charged with domestic violence assault and is currently free on bail.
The 25-year-old Portland woman, is not Ayla Reynolds’ mother, Trista Reynolds.
Court records show DiPietro was ordered after his arrest to have no contact with Courtney Roberts as a condition of bail. Roberts, who has lived on Spring Street, was at the house the night Reynolds disappeared, along with DiPietro’s sister.
No one answered the door Monday at DiPietro’s mother, Phoebe DiPietro’s, house at 29 Violette Ave. in Waterville — the site from where Ayla Reynolds, 20 months old at the time, disappeared on Dec. 17, 2011.
Neighbors said Phoebe DiPietro works out of the home. While court papers show that Justin DiPietro lives at that address, reports are that he lives in Portland.
A sign next to a maple tree on the lawn bears Ayla’s photograph and the words, “Missing, Ayla Bell Reynolds, Please call 911.” A no trespassing sign hangs on the tree.
DiPietro has been at the center of one of the biggest investigations in Maine State Police history. Police initially tried to find the girl, then after declaring they believed she was no longer alive, continue to investigate her death.
DiPietro called police the morning she disappeared to report that she was not in her room. She had been last seen the night before, when she was put to bed.
Nobody has been charged, but police have said they do not believe DiPietro, Roberts and his sister, Elisha DiPietro, the third adult in the house that night, have told them everything they know.
Reynolds’ grandfather, Ronald Reynolds, 53, of Mona Road in Portland, was charged this spring with threatening a family member with a knife. When officers arrived at the home at 6 p.m. on May 31, Reynolds resisted and police used a Taser on him, police said.
Police said the incident had nothing to do with the missing child.

Who did you say is playing the fool, Anon @1:11? If you're so f'in' tired of all the BS (you call it), over the murder of a young black man, whom you call a boy, why do you keep reading about it?

Look you thick-headed bigot, JJ and Sharpton bleed red blood just like you do, and as did Trayvon Martin and Stevie Wonder does. Open OUR eyes? You're the one with closed eyes. This is a country of free speech. Don't like it? Tough noogies.

I see Peter is up to his usual tricks of hawking over his very public blog site in which he does not allow freedom of speech if it conflicts with his own bigotry. Here we go again; deleting posts that do not conform to his own white-washed 'gospel' beliefs and prejudices. Next he'll be making anonymous posts again.

dadgum said...

umm..try clicking on the 'older' posts, if it's gone over 200..

Tania Cadogan said...

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 'gum laaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddd shiver me timbers and pass the rum

Tania Cadogan said...

By the way if the posts have gone over 200 you will need to click on new or newest to get the next page, if your posts are going awol and it is under 200 posts then it is likely the spam filter has caught it due to words used in the post. If you don't want posts to go walkies, keep it civil and no cussing otherwise it will be deleted.

The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a baby boy after going into labour this morning.

The baby weighed 8lbs 6oz and was born at 4.24pm, the palace said.

"Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight," Kensington Palace said in a statement.

Trayvon Martin's parent can file a civil suit against, George Zimmerman. Remember, the Goldman's filed against O.J. Simpson and won, after his aquittal( awarded -33million) So, what is the difference?

dadgum said...

if you are referring to the previous comment back there somewhere..the poster spoke of suing for another trial. They can sue civilly for wrongful death..in fact each family member can bring suit, mother, father, brother, grandparents..

There are no retrials on acquittals, only when a guilty verdict is overturned, or in a decision the defendant wins a new trial. That's what was interesting about the Knox verdict..we in the US never heard of a losing prosecutor requesting a retrial, because of the double jeopardy rule.

I wonder why they refer to "Veritas" as "he". How do they know it's a male?

SOOOoo, it would appear that dumbass Zimmerman is not in hiding after all. He is very much hunkered down in Sanford, Fl, making himself publically available in the rescue of a family in an SUV accident. There's ole George helping to pull them from the wreckage and appearing to be their savior at large.

I thought he was living in fear of his life being taken? Obviously not. So what does this idiot do? Let's the whole country know right where he is. Way to go, George.

Her beef was that I criticized her for filing a misleading affidavit that willfully omitted all information about the injuries Zimmerman had sustained during the "struggle" it described. She denied that she had any obligation to include in the affidavit truthful material that was favorable to the defense. She insisted that she is entitled to submit what, in effect, were half truths in an affidavit of probable cause, so long as she subsequently provides the defense with exculpatory evidence. She should go back to law school, where she will learn that it is never appropriate to submit an affidavit that contains a half truth, because a half truth is regarded by the law as a lie, and anyone who submits an affidavit swears to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Before she submitted the probable cause affidavit, Corey was fully aware that Zimmerman had sustained serious injuries to the front and back of his head. The affidavit said that her investigators "reviewed" reports, statements and "photographs" that purportedly "detail[ed] the following." It then went on to describe "the struggle," but it deliberately omitted all references to Zimmerman's injuries which were clearly visible in the photographs she and her investigators reviewed. That is Hamlet without the Prince! The judge deciding whether there is probable cause to charge the defendant with second degree murder should not have been kept in the dark about physical evidence that is so critical to determining whether a homicide occurred, and if so, a homicide of what degree. By omitting this crucial evidence,COREY DELIBERATELY MISLED THE COURT. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-dershowitz/prosecutor-angela-corey-r_b_1571942.html

I thought this was the reason that Trayvons character was put on trial. His parents and loved ones could have prepared to defend Trayvon if they knew about the self-defense claim. If the prosecutor is so lame Trayvon's murderer walks free.

I. INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY

42 U.S.C. § 1983, commonly referred to as "section 1983" provides:

Every person who under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, Suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for AN ACT or OMISSION taken in such officer's judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

42 U.S.C. § 1983 (emphasis added).
Section 1983 was enacted on April 20, 1871 as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1871, and is also known as the "Ku Klux Klan Act" because one of its primary purposes was to provide a civil remedy against the abuses that were being committed in the southern states, especially by the Ku Klux Klan. While the existing law protected all citizens in theory, its protection in practice was unavailable to some because those persons charged with the enforcement of the laws were unable or unwilling to do so.[1] The Act was intended to provide a private remedy for such VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL LAW, and has subsequently been interpreted to create a species of tort liability.[2]

The number of cases that have been brought under section 1983 has dramatically increased since 1961 when the Supreme Court decided Monroe v. Pape.[3] In Monroe, the Supreme Court held that a police officer was acting "under color of state law" even though his actions violated state law.[4] This was the first case in which the Supreme Court allowed liability to attach where a government official acted outside the scope of the authority granted to him by state law. Since Monroe v. Pape was decided, an extensive body of law has developed to govern section 1983 claims. This article is intended to provide an overview of that extensive body of law, and will include seminal precedent from the United States Supreme Court and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals--a comprehensive study of all law related to section 1983 is beyond the scope of this article.

Is the trial valid when the prosecutor broke the law with the original charging documents?
http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/Council/Columbia_Code_of_Ordinances/Chapter_16/192.html
Section 16-192 False affidavit.

    (a) A person commits the crime of making a false affidavit if, with purpose to mislead any person, he, in any affidavit, swears falsely to a fact which is material to the purpose for which such affidavit is made.

    (b) For the purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, the following shall apply:

    (1)    A fact is material, regardless of its admissibility under rules of evidence, if it could substantially affect, or did substantially affect, the course or outcome of the cause, matter or proceeding.

    (2)    Knowledge of the materiality of the statement is not an element of this crime, and it is no defense that:

        a.    The defendant mistakenly believed the fact to be immaterial; or

        b.    The defendant was not competent, for reasons other than mental disability or immaturity, to make the statement.

    (c) It is a defense to a prosecution under paragraph (a) of this section that the actor retracted the false statement by affidavit or testimony but this defense shall not apply if the retraction was made after:
    (1)    The falsity of the statement was exposed; or

    (2)    Any person took substantial action in reliance on the statement.

    (d) The defendant shall have the burden of injecting the issue of retraction under paragraph (b) of this section.

    (e) Making a false affidavit is a class A misdemeanor if done for the purpose of misleading a public servant in the performance of his duty; otherwise making a FALSE AFFIDAVIT Is a class C misdemeanor.

(Code 1964, § 7.885)

     State law reference(s)--Similar provisions, RSMo. § 575.050.



I see angry white race baiters said...

Breaking News, Crackaa. Seems your hero Zimbo is not afraid to come out after all. I told you, he's a liar. Keep sending him and his money hungry family and fat ass wife money. He is clearly a sociopath. This man is dangerous and I predict in the very near future he will murder another person. Stop pretending this fool is a hero. I know he's not and you damn sure know he's not. I pray no one is in his cross hairs when he goes into a rage and try to DETAIN another person. Because, that is what he tried to do with Trayvon, when he punched him. Oh yeah, keep sending him money for that security he claims he need and keep defending him all over the blogs. You are an idiot and the race baiter. Karma is a bitch and so are YOU. smdh

Your deep hatred for BLACKS is a sickness. Seek medical help, asap.

I comprehend the law quite well thank you very much said...

Dadgum: Thanks for sharing. However, I know the law. I was simply stating that the Martins can sue in civil court for wrongful death. I referenced the Goldmans because they sued OJ althought he was aquitted in criminal court. btw: I prefer not to copy and paste an essay.

@anon - July 22, 2013 at 2:04 PM--- You should go ahead and post what you are wanting SA about, many people here have been studying/reading/learning and it could be a good exercise for everyone reading.

dadgum said...

comprehend..I thought perhaps you were referencing the post opining that a suit be brought for a new trial .Of course they can sue in civil court where the burden is lighter. Acquittal, conviction..no difference. It happens all the time. Collecting will be a different matter..see Florida rules, it is why OJ moved there. :)

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Jesse Jackson............

Wow JJ is a profiler!! I am not exactly sure when he said this, but I did read it was a few years ago.

“Do you know that Negroes are 10 percent of the population of St. Louis and are responsible for 58 percent of its crimes?” he told a congregation. “We’ve got to face that. And we’ve got to do something about our moral standards.”

He also said that, “We know that there are many things wrong in the white world, but there are many things wrong in the black world, too. We can’t keep on blaming the white man. There are things we must do for ourselves.”

These are words of Martin Luther King Jr from a 1961 St. Loius congregational meeting. Again, was MLK a profiler????

I have African American in my family. For anyone to say just because I am predominantly white, that I am a racist cracka...puhleaze!!

I am american indian, then white, my nephews are mixed races with african-american. BUT I am mixed too! I am just mixed with something different than they are.

Dadgum: What happened to the SPAM folder that all this offensive crap was supposed to go to? Who's keeping the "store" here?

As for Alanna Gallagher - it IS possible for the body to be in at least the beginning stages of decomposition, given Alanna's small body, the fact that this small body lay on HOT Texas asphalt for HOURS before being discovered, underneath a tarp, the heat of which further exacerbated the decomposition process.

This is unthinkable - unimaginable and abhorrent.
