Money and the Crime of KidnapingReply
Time was spent looking for a safe and other assets. That statement is a tell . The kidnapper spent 41 minutes in the house! Kidnapping is a grab and go crime except in this case it wasn't. This crime was pre-planned and executed according to that plan. To add insult to injury regarding this crime, the turf war between The Pima County Sheriff's Office and The FBI is BRUTAL! A woman's life is at stake and those morons are fighting over who's in charge?? THE PCSO needs to go sit down in a

Florida bill would enhance criminal penalties for lottery retailer theft and fraudReply
One potential update involves expanding the law to allow sworn law enforcement officers employed by the Lottery's Division of Security to purchase lottery tickets and present them to retailers to claim a prize when it is necessary for undercover duties Are they morons? Losing tickets are useless for enforcement purposes, most tickets are losers, and they'll have to pay retailers a commission on every ticket, so why buy regular tickets from retailers? If they want to check to see if retailer

Lawyer representing $83.5 million Lotto Texas jackpot winner warns of additional investigationsReply
The Senate hearings are just hearings. The Texas Senate cannot block a lottery payment, unless they did so through legislation that is passed and signed into law by the governor. Anything they want prosecuted would be referred to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. As far as the actual investigation blocking the payment of this jackpot, that is being conducted by the Texas Rangers, as I previously mentioned. The Rangers have released no information at all about their investigation, oth

Texas Senator threatens to defund the Texas LotteryReply
And we know since Lottery Post is hands down the best online lottery community in the universe and possibly the largest, that law enforcement, politicians, and state employees are going to come here and pretend to be members to gather information. If they really want to know how people feel about their decisions, I think we've made it clear. Be specific when making laws. Don't make it illegal for people to buy tickets online through couriers for games that never increase their prize amount b

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff s Office website, the 50-year-old lottery winner was booked into the Pinellas County Jail, charged with battery of a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer, battery, and violating his parole.

Lawyer representing $83.5 million Lotto Texas jackpot winner warns of additional investigationsReply
I actually sympathize with the lottery with this one. They can't really say anything about details of what the state is doing, because they would get in legal jeopardy. But the lottery has already implied that they would have paid the winner already, because all of their normal processes and checks came out clean. It's the state law enforcement agencies that are holding everything up. The lottery was told not to pay out the winner until they say it's OK. And the lottery is not allowed to say
