Score One for Kathy Y. Wilson
The Cincinnati Post reports that the murder of Gregory A. Beauchamp on New Year's Eve is being considered a hate crime. Kathy made that case in her City Beat column last week. Will Mike Allen champion this case or will he keep it under raps? How will the political cards fall? Alienate many blacks for exposing more black crime and the level of bigotry against homosexuals in the black community, or alienate the CCV, Phil Burress, Peter Bronson, and Phil Heimlich.
UPDATE: WLWT-NBC lead off with this story on tonight's 11:00 PM broadcast. Where were they on January 1st? Where were they the day after Kathy Wilson's column?

UC athlete cleared on alcohol charge; Cops and Prosecutor out for Doughnuts (2nd item)
Serious questions arise from this:
How about an investigation into possible corruption? Who used to be a UC trustee and is currently the Hamilton County Prosecutor? The name Mike Allen comes to mind. Who investigates the prosecutor? Who investigates him for allegedly allowing political activities to occur in the Prosecutor's office by PO staff? Allowing Mike Allen to be Prosecutor and Political chief in this area gives off the stink of corruption. I may start rethinking the validity of his statements in defense of putting a City Attorney on the Grand Jury for Ron Twitty. This is a man who has the power to do what ever he wants, and will get a pass from the County, the State Attorney General, and the Governor. Friends don’t let friends run amuck as prosecutor, unless the friend is a Republican looking to keep the skeletons buried.
Serious questions arise from this:
Judge Ralph E. Winkler dismissed the charge after prosecutors failed to produce toxicology results and officers involved in the case failed to appear in courtWhat college did the prosecutors in the this case go to? What college did the police go to, or at least root for? How can the police officers involved in this case not appear in court? Now one else in the media cares to ask this question? I know I am a Miami Alum and I have my bias, but who is foolish enough to think that police could not get to the courthouse for a high profile case?

CityBeat: Drunk, With Power
If the first incident with the two police officers and Ms. Linthicum happened on a college campus, it would have been called rape by nearly everyone. I call it rape. If someone is clearly drunk, and a police officer is a good judge at determining intoxication, then these police officers would have knowingly had non-consensual sex with such a drunken person.
Both cops are gone, but these cops should have been put on trial. It is strange that this issue did not get the rise from the boycotters that other police misconduct produced. I wonder if the boycotters got a look at Ms. Linthicum and lost interest. I applaud City Beat for following up on this story and giving the victim a chance to speak her side of the story.

Talking Points Memo: The Cracker Defense! Josh Marshall picks up the story Chris Anderson and I discussed earlier this week. Josh was one of the people, if not the person, who kept the Trent Lott segregation story going. If you have not read his blog before, I highly recommend it.

Focus on Square, analyst tells city
The ideas are great, but with guys like Phil Heimlich in county government hording the suburban dollars, nothing will be spent on the city that can't go in Indian Hill or Blue Ask, or just not happen at all.
