New Article on ayres in the Times

There is a new article on the ayres story posted in the San Mateo County Times. Have a read:
http://www.mercurynews.com/san-mateo-county/ci_19191510


And a second article today: this one about the animosity between victim's advocate Victoria Balfour, and the prosecutor Melissa McKowan:

Important point from comments about the above news article:


According to the article, McKowan placed Amati Mehler and another person who trained at Judge Baker, Dr. Joseph Mullen, on her witness list for the 2009 criminal trial, but she didn't call them to the stand.

BUT: look at what she says about the SAME witnesses on her blog comment.

Blog comment made by San Mateo prosecutor Melissa Mckowan. Confirmed as Mckowan’s by her supervisor, Assistant District Attorney Karen Guidotti:

But take my word for it, any "credible" tip that has come in has been looked into. So far, until this particular unattributed blog entry, I have never seen any "independent investigation" that has led to the discovery of an actual witness. For instance, the three (not four) Judge Baker Graduates who would allegedly have debunked Ayres' statements about being trained there--did NOT confirm to the police or the DA what it was alleged in the blogs that they would say. One told me that she had told the reporter who talked to her that she didn't know anything about Ayres and was in school later than him and that although she could say SHE was never trained to give exams, she "couldn't say for sure what his training was." That is NOT helpful. Another one refused to testify and the last one is physically unable to travel and lives in Europe.




Note that today (10/26/2011) is the deadline for william hamilton ayres to be admitted to Napa State Hospital, for an undoubtedly short stay before he is most likely released back into the community; the San Mateo County District Attorney having utterly failed to obtain any significant time in lockup or even registration for yet another child molester.

If ayres does manage to get himself admitted, then by this time next week (November 2nd, 2011) he will be receiving his $750,000 in bail money back.

  1. What horse shit from the DA's office.

  2. "On Wednesday, after years of excruciating delays, the case will end in a draw when Ayres, 79 and suffering from Alzheimer's-related dementia that has rendered him unfit for retrial, is expected to be committed to Napa State Hospital. Time ran out to retry a man who was slowly but steadily losing his mind."

    Huh? Losing his mind? Says who? A man who talks about the Iowa Straw Polls, his past business ventures is unable to stand trial for child rape because he is "losing his mind"?

    If there has ever been a more corrupt and incompetent DA's office out there, we haven't seen it.

  3. Money quote:

    " Emotionally, deep down, I really think he did it. But putting my emotions aside, I wasn't proven it," the juror said. "For some people, it's enough if they feel it. I was taking it very seriously given my (jury) instructions."

  4. Anyone else notice that Mckowan sounds happy when she says "Ayres won?"

    Um, maybe because she didn't do her job? What a psycho. Thank god for the FBI and California Bar investigations into the corrupt San Mateo DA's office.

    May they all go to hell.

  5. Hey, Deep!!

    Why not repost Mckowan's blog comment from January 2010 in which she says that she contacted the Boston doctors but that they couldn't confirm they weren't trained to do physicals?

    Now she is telling the reporter that they were on her witness list? Huh? How could this be if they weren't trained to do physicals? Also, how come they say she never contacted them?

  6. Of COURSE Weinberg would praise Mckowan. She lost the case!!!

  7. Weinberg is probably fairly pissed at ayres and McDougall.

    During hearings and during the competency trial, McDougall bluntly and repeatedly implied that Weinberg was incompetent in his handing of the case, and that ayres was very dissatisfied with Weinberg's [largely successful] representation.

    -Talk about shitting where you eat... ayres and his useless moron wife are arrogant as always. I wonder if Robert still wears his asinine beret. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

  8. Take a look at what Mckowan said to the paper today:

    McKowan placed Amati Mehler and another person who trained at Judge Baker, Dr. Joseph Mullen, on her witness list for the 2009 criminal trial, but she didn't call them to the stand. http://www.mercurynews.com/san-mateo-county/ci_19194847

    Then look at what she says about the SAME witnesses on her blog comment. Relevant info is in italics:

  10. Wagstaffe is still not getting back to reporters about whether Ayres is actually going to Napa today.

    He has been oddly silent and strangely absent from the news stories for the last two days.
