Re: *Remembering Emil Matasareanu*
I lived down the street from Emil on orange grove Blvd in pasadena Ca. They had a small house but they built a great big 2 story facade on the front of it like a giant Hollywood set. His mother was arrested later for holding some old lady against her will in the house.... weird bunch I think gypsy types.


Fuck what you say. IF LARRY AND EMIL WANTED TO KILL civilians then there would be plenty civilians dead. they were surrounded..pinned down..so they tried shooting there way out of it. If the police didn't want to get shot at..then don't show up at the scene of a robbery in progress. AS for you fucking haters..eat shit. larry and emil are a last of a dying breed. unlike you fat fucks sitting around bragging about how we should support our troops and government when we Americans are nothing short of commiting a genocide against an arab nation, Just like the nazi's did the JEWS. Were no fucking different from them. And if you disagree, here's another example..what if Pakistan or EVEN CHINA for that matter started sending drone missle strikes to california to wipe out the bloods or crips..WOULDNT THEY BE JUSTIFIED?

RIP
Larry Phillips
Emil Matasareanu


Strange story - I remember watching it on tv. They seemed like they just got off the bus at the wrong gunfight.

They had enough firepower to whack a casino, but wanted to rob a small-time bank? It is true that they didn't seem to have a beef with regular folk. They could have done a lot of damage if they had gone to a ballgame or a school or a political rally.

Once they were in they seemed to have wanted to die rather than be captured. Just walking down the street taking bullets. Not even trying to seek cover. How do you fight that reflex?

Like all strange stories it's good to take note of them and look for where it may fit in.

Funny how these heavily armed militants were not able to kill one person after firing off thousands of rounds for nearly an hour. and the lapd only had shotguns and 9mm's........ lol,give me a break...... and not a sniper to be found or anything to stop those lunatics, simply amazing. Larry didn't have any problem shooting himself in the head, maybe they had armor plating in their necks and heads.... yeah , that's it, i'm sure he used armor piercing to finish himself off. Hell he had to... the 300 policeman and swat certainly weren't gonna do it, at least not until they all became heros and showed how under gunned the poor little old lapd was. What a script. People are so gullible.

Remembering Emil Matasareanu



The parents of a bandit gunned down by police during a botched bank robbery say that their son had an "attitude problem" and that his brazen assault was "like suicide."

"Never I heard that he fight with someone," Viorel Matasareanu, 77, said yesterday of his son, Emil Dechebal Matasareanu, whom he brought with him from Romania. With a what-did-you-expect shrug, he added: "He grows (up) here. He grows in America."

On Friday two men clad in ski masks and neck-to-ankle Kevlar armor stormed a Bank of America branch in the Los Angeles suburb of North Hollywood, toting an arsenal of guns.

They were making off with cash when police arrived and the gunfight erupted. They were both killed by shots to the head, left unprotected by the body armor.

Police in suburban Glendale said the robbers were the same men arrested there in 1993 in a car full of high-powered weapons, smoke bombs and disguises.

In that case, Matasareanu and Larry Eugene Phillips Jr. served less than four months in jail after striking a plea bargain that cut a conspiracy and weapons case to a handful of misdemeanors.

The FBI has not yet identified the two men, though Matasareanu's mother confirmed that her 30-year-old son was one of the men killed. The 26-year-old Phillips is believed to be the other.

Matasareanu's mother said her son was a sharpshooter and computer whiz who had grown increasingly despondent in past months, causing her to fear he was suicidal and might hurt somebody.

Valerie Nicolescu said her son was a man haunted by demons. When Matasareanu was 8, bullying by schoolmates caused him to turn to computers as a refuge, she said.

He became an expert and programmed arcade and video games, eventually earning a degree from DeVry Institute, Nicolescu said. But things had begun to unravel by 1993. Matasareanu and his wife and young son were living with Nicolescu and running a home-care service for the mentally disabled.

The next year the service was closed because of an allegation made that Matasareanu abused one of the six residents. She said health authorities forced Matasareanu out of the home.

In August, Matasareanu split up with his wife after having a seizure, Nicolescu said.

"He cannot handle it anymore," she said. "Those were his words . . . He just said to me that he wanted to die. His actions were more of a suicide mission."

She said she hadn't spoken to her son since Christmas. Viorel Matasareanu and his son became distant in 1990 in a dispute over education and the father's belief that Emil had married too early. They hadn't spoken since July.

Part of a group?

Nicolescu said she did not believe her son was involved with any underground political or terrorist group. But authorities are investigating whether the gunmen in Friday's incident had funneled money from a pair of earlier robberies - which netted at least $1.3 million - to subversive paramilitary or criminal organizations.

"The way they struck and the way they handled their weapons, one would have to expect that they got some training somewhere," said Los Angeles Police Cmdr. Tim McBride.

Sources disclosed that the FBI, even before Friday's incident, had been looking into the possibility that the two extraordinarily lucrative bank robberies in the San Fernando Valley last May were the work of an organized group with connections to political or terroristic groups. Because the timing of all three robberies came just after large deliveries of cash, one source said, "It's obvious these guys did their homework."

Friday's plan foiled

That plan, however, was foiled Friday largely because an LAPD officer spotted the gunmen in full body armor carrying automatic weapons into a Bank of America branch. When the robbers emerged, they were confronted by officers and tried to shoot their way clear with superior firepower.

The two men sprayed bullets at police and other people before they were fatally shot in a battle that left 16 officers and civilians injured and stunned the nation with its live, televised pictures.

No third suspect

Despite earlier reports that a third suspect may have been involved in Friday's attempted robbery, McBride said investigators now believe that Matasareanu and Phillips were the only assailants in that incident, as well as the two other robberies.

So far, investigators have released few details about the pair. They do know, however, that Matasareanu and Phillips had been acquaintances since at least Oct. 23, 1993, when police caught them with a carload of weapons and military gear, including AK-47s, 9-mm handguns, six smoke grenades, two homemade explosives and a gas mask. Also found in the 1993 red Thunderbird were police scanners, bulletproof vests, a stop watch, gloves, sunglasses, wigs, ski masks and other clothing.

Deputy District Attorney James Grodin, who supervised the prosecution of the case, said he initially charged them with conspiracy to commit robbery, but had to settle for several less-serious weapons charges because he lacked evidence to prove a conspiracy.

A critical piece of the puzzle, authorities said yesterday, was tracking down where and how Matasareanu and Phillips obtained their weapons.

Such information, authorities said, could indicate whether they acted alone or had accomplices.

Stephen Yagman — the blustering, hated, brilliant, beloved, disbarred lawyer who won fame by regularly defeating police departments in brutality lawsuits, got out of federal prison in 2010, having served three years for bankruptcy fraud and money laundering.

Today, the once high-flying Yagman is quietly hunkering down in his former Venice law offices, working on the most important and improbable legal battle of his life: restoring his ruined integrity and regaining his revoked license to practice law.

The normally voluble Yagman is keeping an exceptionally low profile, but he's raising eyebrows anyway. He hopes to win back his old life by having his conviction overturned on appeal before the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

More About

Stephen Yagman

Erwin Chemerinsky

Los Angeles Police Department

Donald Cook

And to do that, among other things, Yagman hopes to convince the court that his good friend, Irvine School of Law Dean and legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, misrepresented him and screwed up Yagman's previous and unsuccessful appeal.

Last November, Yagman filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to vacate his convictions. Key among his claims since then: that the government withheld evidence and that he got ineffective assistance from Chemerinsky, who worked pro bono on his appeal.

Top appellate lawyers in Los Angeles describe Yagman's chances of convincing the court that Chemerinsky ruined Yagman's appeal as "next to zero," "forget about it" and "absolutely no way."

In fact, appellate attorneys say, the number of times a judge has agreed to overturn a habeas corpus case on appeal in recent years can be counted on a few fingers.

Yagman's crimes include his failure to pay $158,000 in taxes, 17 counts of money laundering and bankruptcy fraud for hiding his assets — including a 2,800-square-foot house in Venice — from creditors and trustees when his firm Yagman & Yagman went through bankruptcy.

Yagman is hated by many cops, but also by many attorneys. In the criminal case against him, brought by the U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles, he tried to get that office's prosecutors disqualified. It didn't work.

"We knew going into the case he would throw everything he possibly could at us," Assistant U.S. Attorney Beong-Soo Kim told the Legal Intelligencer last February.

At his 2007 sentencing hearing after Yagman's conviction, a courtroom spectacle stretched on for three days as he pummeled U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson with haggling and legal minutiae. The scene prompted Loyola Law School Professor Laurie Levenson, who once worked as a federal prosecutor, to say, "There are death-penalty phases that don't last that long."

Yagman's almost singular intensity, even among L.A.'s subculture of aggressive and hard-headed litigators, worked like a charm in numerous cases he took on behalf of victims of police mistreatment. But those same skills have not worked in his own defense.

Dennis A. Fischer, a respected appellate attorney, says of Yagman's effort to overturn his conviction: "I don't think much of his chances. These are seldom successful."

Yagman is arguing for a writ of habeas corpus — essentially, yet another review of his case — after a judge reviewing his first appeal, put forth by Chemerinsky, found nothing wrong with the government's case and refused to overturn Yagman's conviction.

"Recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court have expanded restrictions on habeas corpus relief," Fischer says. A 5-4 vote against such maneuvers has solidified under Chief Justice John Roberts.

Still, Yagman has an uncanny ability to pull off seemingly impossible legal stunts.

In the late 1990s, Yagman became one of the most reviled lawyers in Los Angeles after agreeing to represent the family of a violent bank robber in the infamous 1997 North Hollywood shootout at Bank of America. The shootout is considered by many to be the longest and bloodiest event in U.S. police history.

The crime left both robbers dead and 18 police and civilians — including many bank customers — injured. It played out for hours on local TV, riveting Americans who watched as the two heavily armed robbers, wearing sophisticated military-grade body armor and using armor-piercing bullets, outgunned the regular police in a running battle through the streets. After better-equipped SWAT arrived, the robbers were pinned down.

In the hours that it took LAPD to secure the area and uncover possible accomplices, one gunman, Emil Matasareanu, shown on TV alive and lying handcuffed in the road not far from an LAPD officer, slowly bled to death.

Police said they never realized he was mortally wounded, but his family sued LAPD for failing to save Matasareanu's life.

Yagman stepped forth to take the case, and managed against great odds and massive, mostly negative press coverage to get a hung jury. He pressured LAPD to pay a settlement for the Matasareanu family.

Yagman's friend Donald W. Cook, whose law firm Robert Mann and Donald Cook in 1995 was named the NAACP's "Civil Rights Law Firm of the Year," says, "The North Hollywood case riled so many people, but the basic factual case was a good one." Given the negative public reaction, Cook asks, "How the hell would you ever win that case? The basic factual issue in that case was the cops let the robber bleed to death. Maybe the cops were justified to delay the response, maybe not ... but it was a good factual case."

Yagman's targeting of his famous friend Chemerinsky fits perfectly with the outrageous, often over-the-top style that's made Yagman the scourge of violent cops and helped him win millions of dollars for victims.

"I'm not condoning or excusing conduct that led to the criminal conviction — because it sounds like the government had a lot of evidence" against Yagman for bankruptcy fraud and money laundering, Cook says.

But, he adds, "I hate it when critics say that the practice of law is better off without [Yagman], that we're better off without him in the federal court taking his cases to trial. That's just nuts. The civil rights bar was much better with him — and owes him a debt of gratitude."

There's widespread doubt that the widely published, prominent Chemerinsky can be painted by anyone — even the wily Yagman — as a guy who screws up cases.

Cook says, "In the rarefied existence [of appellate attorneys], Erwin is at the top."

Peter Eliasberg, legal director of the ACLU of Southern California, says that, thanks to a recent Supreme Court case, a challenger such as Yagman "must show that council's representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness."

Chemerinsky commented on the case by email to L.A. Weekly, saying, "I am sad that Mr. Yagman made these allegations. I worked very hard to provide him the best representation I could. I encourage anyone to read the briefs I filed and the transcript of the oral argument in assessing Mr. Yagman's allegations."

Yagman claims Chemerinsky didn't have enough time to devote to his case. But Chemerinsky writes to the Weekly: "I devoted a very significant amount of time to writing the briefs and preparing the oral argument. I think that will be evident to anyone who reads the briefs or listens to the tape of the oral argument."

The two men are widely believed to still be friends, and Yagman told the Legal Intelligencer a few months ago that he and Chemerinsky have been "close friends for over 20 years."

Yagman still keeps an office at the law firm now run by his ex-wife and a partner, based in the same old building in Venice. A secretary there said Yagman could not be reached. Once so willing to offer up quotes to the media, Yagman was not around to discuss his unusual quest.

Stacey Dean Rambold, 55, was resentenced by a new judge exactly a year after he completed an initial one-month prison term for the crime.

Rambold appeared to grimace as Friday's sentence was read by Judge Randal Spaulding. He was then handcuffed and led away by deputies, pausing briefly to exchange words with family as he exited the courtroom.

Rambold pleaded guilty last year to a single count of sexual intercourse without consent in the 2007 rape of 14-year-old Cherice Moralez, a freshman in his Billings Senior High School business class. She committed suicide in 2010.

Rambold's attorney had argued for a two-year sentence, pointing out that the defendant had no prior criminal record, underwent sex offender treatment and was considered by the state as a low risk to re-offend.

Spaulding indicated that the nature of the crime outweighed those factors.

"I considered your abuse and exploitation of your position of trust as a teacher, and specifically Cherice's teacher," Spaulding told the defendant.

The state Supreme Court in April overturned Rambold's initial sentence, citing in part comments from Judge G. Todd Baugh, who suggested the victim shared responsibility.

Baugh was censured and suspended for 31 days. He's stepping down when his terms ends in January.

Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito said he was pleased with the new sentence, which included five additional years of prison time that were suspended.

"The criminal justice system worked today," he said.

John Moralez, the father of the victim, said he had hoped for a longer sentence, but added that 10 years was better than the one-month Rambold previously served.

During the hearing, Twito asked Judge Spaulding to reject attempts by Rambold's attorney to make the victim's conduct with her teacher a factor in the sentencing.

That included references by the defendant's attorney to video-taped interviews of the victim recorded by law enforcement prior to her death. Those recordings, which have never been made public, had been cited by Baugh during his sentencing.

Under state law, children under 16 cannot consent to sexual intercourse.

"The last thing we want to do is sit here in the criminal justice system and say, 'What is the age?' It doesn't matter. Fourteen is way too young," Twito said. "There has to be punishment. ... Punishment means prison."

Rambold's attorney, Jay Lansing, responded that there was no statute preventing the court from considering Moralez's conduct. He pointed out that prosecutors had not objected to comments about the videotaped interview during Rambold's first sentencing hearing.

Lansing requested for his client a two-year sentence in the custody of the Department of Corrections, with another 13 years suspended. That would have allowed Rambold to serve his time in a community setting rather than prison.

Rambold broke down crying during a brief statement to the court. He said he was sorry for his actions and had worked hard to make himself a better person. In a recent letter to the court, he lamented the international publicity the case attracted.

"No one can really appreciate and understand what it feels like to have so many people actually hate you and be disgusted by you," Rambold wrote. "I do not mention this for the sake of sympathy, but it has been hard."

It was uncertain if the new sentence would be appealed, Lansing said.

After the death of Moralez, the prosecution's primary witness, Twito's office in 2010 struck a deal with Rambold that initially allowed him to avoid prison altogether.

Rambold, however, violated that agreement by having unauthorized visits with relatives' children and entering into a relationship with an adult woman without telling his counselor. As a result, the case was revived and Rambold pleaded guilty.

Two additional counts sexual intercourse without consent were dropped under the deal with prosecutors.

During last year's sentencing, Baugh suggested Moralez had as much control over her rape as the defendant and said she "appeared older than her chronological age." He gave Rambold a 15-year term with all but one month suspended.

That triggered an appeal from the office of Attorney General Tim Fox, and ultimately resulted in the case being reassigned to Spaulding.

A family fight over control of an Orange County megachurch after the death of the founder heads to the courts.

The family of Pastor Chuck Smith is embroiled in a legal battle over control his Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa megachurch. His daughter has filed suit alleging elder abuse and neglect when Smith died.

Pastor Chuck Smith died nearly a year ago. He was married to his wife Kay for 65 years. They grew their congregation from 25 people to 1,400 churches worldwide.

Janette Manderson, Smith's daughter, spoke exclusively to Eyewitness News on behalf of her 87-year-old mother, Kay, who suffers from dementia.

"It's still a shock. It's almost a year later and still I can't really process it. Why didn't they help my dad?" said Manderson.

A lawsuit filed on Kay's behalf alleges elder abuse and neglect, and points the finger at Smith's son-in-law, Brian Brodersen, married to the Smiths' youngest daughter, Cheryl.

The lawsuit alleges Smith's "death was hastened" and he suffered "significant pain and anguish" the night he had trouble breathing and died from a heart attack.

Smith had terminal lung cancer. Manderson was appointed by her parents as trustee and put in charge of his healthcare. She says she was out of town and not told how close he was to death.

"Nobody had called 911 until my nephew finally stepped in and did it. The nurse wouldn't do it and told him not to call 911," said Manderson.

"The son-in-law, Brian, is the one who oversaw the selection of the nurse and she's directly under his supervision, and from what we know he's the one that she contacted for instructions," said Jillyn Hess-Verdon, Kay Smith's attorney. "The evidence we have, the paramedics got there and said 'Why haven't you people called 911?'"

"When Pastor Chuck died, the church cut off Kay," said Hess-Verdon.

A monthly annuity benefit of up to $10,000 to support the Smiths was gone.

The lawsuit alleges the annuity was in exchange for Smith taking himself off the church payroll years before.

A $1-million life insurance policy was also gone.

The lawsuit alleges that in 2006, the board of directors got Smith to change the beneficiary from Kay and Smith's non-profit organization "The Word For Today" to the Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.

"I believe dad was pressured. The board started pressuring dad several years ago on various things," said Manderson.

The lawsuit alleges Brodersen and the board of directors, which he chairs, took advantage of Smith's failing health and age to take control of the megachurch.

According to the lawsuit, within a day of the pastor's death some members of the board took over the pastor's office and computers and took full control of The Word For Today Incorporated property.

The Word For Today non-profit organization includes radio broadcasts, books and DVDs.

"Pastor Chuck and Kay's desire was that The Word For Today be a non-profit under independent leadership so that it could oversee his legacy for many, many years to come," said Hess-Verdon.

Manderson says that "independent leadership" meant her and her family, not the board of directors.

"The board is holding on to everything of dad's and not giving it to us," said Mandrson.

Brodersen had no comment and referred Eyewitness News to Roger Wing, the board's assistant secretary. Wing said he couldn't comment on specific allegations but stressed: "Everything we did, we did according to the law and according to stipulations given ... what Pastor Chuck and the board had worked out."

"It makes me sad, it makes me feel that they're dishonoring my dad and disrespecting his wishes," said Manderson.

Manderson says the church began paying some of the monthly annuities owed, but only after she retained attorneys.

They paid me at or above competitive rates and they spent nearly $250,000 to relocate me and my family to the USA> they also had to put a similar amount into an escrow account to cover the cost of us wanting to return home after our 3 year assignment here.

Luckily for them we decided to stay (after 5 years and two visa extensions) so they were able to retrieve the money at that time. They also paid the legal costs when we obtained our "green" cards. I think they would have hired a US citizen for less if they could have found one with the right credentials.

With hind sight, I wish we had returned home when the costs were covered by my then employer. Since then a corporate raider asset stripped this multi-billion dollar company and effectively liquidated it, pocketing a massive amount of money while putting thousands of employees out of work. He used their pension funds to cover his highly leveraged take over, effectively asset stripping their retirement savings.

America is not the great country it used to be but it's dumbed down populace are incapable of seeing that as the media is owned by the asset strippers.

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”


― Benito Mussolini

Jos? Garcia Sr. and the son who bore his name were inseparable.

“They never did anything without each other,” said Lorenzo Gonzales, Jos? Sr.’s son and Jos? Jr.’s brother. “They were always making each other laugh. There was never a dull moment with both of them in the room.”

Jos? Garcia Jr., 24, was the second-youngest child of Jose Garcia Sr., 47. But the two were best friends, family members said.

The men, in the Bay Area to visit Gonzales last week, went for a swim in the waters of Ocean Beach. The area is notorious for strong riptides that can pull in unsuspecting swimmers.

On its website, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy says of Ocean Beach: “Great for strolling and flying kites, but the water is frigid and the currents hazardous for all but the most experienced surfers.”

The Garcias, who lived in Turlock and Merced, and Gonzales didn’t know that when they ventured out about 3 p.m. Wednesday

“We basically went to the beach because it was hot, and it’s rarely hot in the Bay,” Gonzales said. “It was the perfect day to go swimming.

“I knew nothing about Ocean Beach’s rip currents ... a lot of my friends go to Ocean Beach for bonfires and stuff.”

Gonzales didn’t go in right away. He had his dog with him, so the men planned to take turns.

The Garcias walked into the water. Gonzales took a photo of them as they got about hip deep into the ocean, under a bright sky with thin clouds. Then he lost sight of them.

A surfer brought Jos? Jr. to shore, where Gonzales performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on his brother before emergency responders took him to a hospital. Rescuers later found the elder Garcia, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Gonzales went to the hospital, where his brother held on for a day before succumbing. “He fought, and he lost the fight,” Gonzales said.

Neither man had a lot of money, and the younger Garcia left behind a 4-year-old daughter, Jaylenn. “They both did odd jobs,” he said.

Family members have started an account on the gofundme website to pay for funeral expenses, and for education expenses for Jaylenn. They also have conducted a car wash and are planning a bake sale.

A funeral service is set for 10 a.m. Oct. 7 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Turlock. Burial will follow at Turlock Memorial Park, 425 N. Soderquist Road. The family’s donation site is ...............

The former Marine, Tahmooresi had been in Tijuana no fewer than 3 times during the week ended 31 March 2014. In fact he'd rented a hotel room while he was in Tijuana the very same morning of his arrest (he crossed into Mexico again the evening on 31 March and was pulled into secondary by Mexican Customs)
He was transporting 3 loaded weapons and 400 rounds of ammo inside the cab of his truck.

It's a felony to transport weapons and/or ammo inside the passenger compartment of any vehicle in the state of California. It's a felony to bring firearms and/or ammo into Mexico.

No one crosses into Mexico at San Ysidro "accidentally" (particularly when it's at minimum, the 4th time in a week). There's plenty of parking. He could've parked and asked for assistance...instead, he chose one of the "nothing to declare" lanes and was caught after a random inspection discovered the weapons and ammo.

MONROVIA, Liberia -- Amid the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, it's easier to get help if you are dead than if you are alive.

My producer and I were driving back from an assignment in Monrovia, where we filmed this morning's "Good Morning America" segment, when we saw a burial team working along the roadway surrounded by crowds of angry locals.

A community leader said they had been trying to get help for the dead man for days, but no ambulance ever came. When the man died, a burial team came in an hour.

We watched as the burial team suited up and approached the body lying against a wall. They sprayed it down with bleach and moved it to a black, plastic sheet and began to wrap it up.

"We couldn't get him help when he was alive," a community leader told me. "They only come when you die."

Just then, the dead man moved his arm -- just a little, but clearly a sign of life.

"He's alive," someone yelled.

The burial team unwrapped him and put him back on the ground. The man was alive but looked like he would only last a few more hours.

About ten minutes later, an ambulance pulled up and a separate team of health workers loaded him into the back.

The crowd went wild cheering.
