Wisconsin takes action to fight high rates of domestic abuse among cops
A news article that Cloudwriter from OIDV network http://www.behindthebluewall.blogspot.com passed onto me and which I posted over on the Wisconsin OIDV website. Hopefully more states will follow Wisconsin's lead, eh.
Subject: Rebecca (Becky) Torres
Thank you for all you do for our family! Enough money was raised for the headstone, and we were able to pick it out one year to the day she was killed!
Also, after several months of no court dates, and several emails with the victim advocate, we have a new Pre Trial! January 20th, @ 3pm, Judge Farah!
Please pray for our family, as the wounds were starting to heal, the court process will only make them fresh again!
Thank You Again

On November 04, 2007 Pamela Aukerman was murdered by her ex-husband, Officer Kevin Brainard [Plainwell Michigan PD]. http://michiganoidv.blogspot.com/2007/11/officer-kevin-brainard-plainwell-police_04.html
Admist their grief of having to deal with the horrific and unjust murder of Pam, her family has endured numerous injustices since Pamela's murder: custody of Pam's young daughter was given to the Pam's murder's family; Pam's murderer's family dictates Pam's family's visitation with Kayla; Pam's murderer's family custody of Kayla provides no visitation rights to Kyle [Kayla's older brother]; Pam's murder's family has been able to obtain a court order preventing counseling for Kayla, who was present at the time Kevin murdered Pam; Pam's family had to pay for Pam's funeral; Pam's murderer's family receives Pam's social security benefits; Pam's murderer's family has removed vehicles [travel trailer; dirt bikes; etc.] from Pam's property, and hidden them and then reported them as stolen by Pam's family; Pam's murderer's family emptied out Pam's house within hours of Pam's murder; Pam's murderer's family has maintained control of all of Pam's assets, bank accounts, life insurance policies, 401k, etc.; instead of Kevin's 401K going into a trust for Pam's children, Pam's murderer's mother received these funds; Pam's murderer's parents have received both Pam's and Kevin's life insurance policies...and not Pam's children, etc.
Pam's family is attempting to find an attorney who would represent them in a case to fight for custody of Kayla, and insure that all monies Pam's murderer's family have received at the expense of Pam's murder, be placed in a trust fund for Pam's children. In other words, Pam's family is looking for an attorney that will be Pam's voice.
Pam's family is also attempting to find an attorney who would represent them in wrongful death suit against the city of Plainwell Michigan. They have evidence demonstrating that the Plainwell Police Department had prior knowledge of the threat Officer Kevin Brainard posed to Pam, yet failed to act/ failed to keep Pam from harm [Color Of Law].
If you are an attorney who would be interested in representing the Aukerman family and being a voice for Pam, please contact the Aukerman family at: mioidvpamslaw@aol.com.
Please feel free to repost or email this post.
Thank you,
The Aukerman family

OIDV ADVOCATE'S LIFE THREATENED!!!!!!!
I received a phone call the other day from an Officer-Involved Domestic Violence [OIDV] advocate. Instead of this phone call being the usual discussion about OIDV cases, the advocate's voice was different, as she informed me that her life was being threatened by a Florida law enforcement officer [Ira Peskowitz], because she had posted newspaper excerpts regarding the deputy's OIDV and his threats against other officers.
Unlike other victims of Deputy Peskowitz's threatening behavior, the OIDV victim - taking his threats seriously, refused to back down. The thought of removing the newspaper excerpts from her OIDV blog did not once cross her mind. Instead, this threat against her life made the advocate more determined to fight for and stand up for victims of OIDV.
Faced with the very real threat that Officer Peskowitz intended to kill her, as his emails had stated, the advocate informed me, "If I am killed, I want you to know that I have no regrets for my work with OIDV..." For several minutes, the advocate discussed how fulfilled and enriched her life had become because of her work with OIDV victims [an area of victimology that most crime victim and domestic violence advocates will not touch with a ten foot pole].
Catching her breath, the advocate paused for a moment, "but then you know exactly what I am talking about." At this point, I let on that during our entire phone conversation, I had been online creating a blog specifically for Officer Peskowitz and his death threats: http://mioidvresponsetopeskowitzemailthreat.blogspot.com/
If you want to know what OIDV advocates put on the line every day, please check out the Officer Peskowitz's website.
UPDATE: THE THREATENING EMAILS TO THE OIDV ADVOCATE HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED TO HAVE COME FROM OFFICER PESKOWITZ'S EMAIL ADDRESS/ IP.
THE ADVOCATE WAS ALSO ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT ALTHOUGH OFFICER PESKOWITZ IS AGAIN EMPLOYED AS A POLICE OFFICER IN FLORIDA, DESPITE YEARS OF MULTIPLE ALLEGATIONS AGANIST HIM FOR TERRORIZING OTHERS.
Backing down is not an option for OIDV advocates, as the threatened advocate has demonstrated... because if we back down, there is no one to take our place...no one to advocate and be the voice for the forgotten victims of OIDV.
To reconfirm our "no regrets..." about our OIDV work, the threatened advocate and I made a pact: if something happened to her, due to Officer Peskowitz carrying out his death threats...or if my ex-husband and his attorney are able to put me out on the street and thus end my work with MIOIDV, we wanted there to be something that would be here forever for victims of OIDV.
Throughout the night, I created an OIDV blog for every state, for victims of OIDV... because I too have no regrets.

Former Clare deputy arrested
Man jailed twice in two days

A former Clare County sheriff's deputy was in the Isabella County Jail Friday - the second time he spent time behind bars in two days.
Jeremy Brickey Richardson, 31, was arrested Thursday for violating a bond condition.
On Wednesday night he was arrested for domestic violence, Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said.
Richardson apparently was fired from his job at the Clare County Sheriff's Department after the first arrest on Wednesday.
Richardson is alleged to have assaulted his wife Wednesday, Mioduszewski said.
Deputies were called to the home in the 2000 block of West Beal City Road in Nottawa Township at 7:48 p.m. Wednesday.
Richardson's wife had left the residence after the alleged assault in the couple's bedroom, calling for help from her parents' home, Mioduszewski said.
"They had gotten into a pretty heated argument prior to the (alleged) assault," Mioduszewski said. "She had no serious injuries; nothing that required medical attention."
After deputies went to the home and interviewed Richardson, they arrested him for domestic violence, a 93-day misdemeanor, Mioduszewski said.
Richardson posted bond and was released from jail, but was arrested again after deputies were called back to the home at 4:16 p.m. Thursday, the sheriff said.
Richardson broke a bond violation by returning to the home; he had been ordered not to go near his wife, Mioduszewski said.

Ex-Clare County Sheriff’s Deputy jailed twice

MOUNT PLEASANT – A former Clare County Sheriff’s deputy was released from jail Friday making that his second release from jail within a few days.
Jeremy Brickey Richardson, 31, originally was arrested at 7:48 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 4 in connection with a misdemeanor domestic violence charge, said Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski. He posted $300, which was the 10 percent needed for bail on the $3,000 cash or surety bond for what could be a 93-day misdemeanor.
Mioduszewski said Richardson was arraigned Thursday on the DV charge. One of the conditions set as part of his bond was that he was not to return to his residence.
However, Richardson was reported to have returned to the home in the 2000 block of West Beal City Road in Nottawa Township later that day.
Isabella deputies then arrested him at 4:16 p.m. Thursday after being called to the home for the bond violation, he said. Richardson was arraigned on the bond violation charge Friday and posted the additional $400 needed for the 10 percent cash or surety bond of $7,500.
“There was an assault that appeared to have occurred,” Mioduszewski said of the first incident. Richardson is alleged to have assaulted his wife after a “heated argument” when he returned to his residence after work on Wednesday, Feb. 4, Mioduszewski said.
Richardson’s wife did not have serious injuries that required medical attention, but it did appear she was assaulted, he said. She left the marital residence after the alleged assault calling the sheriff’s department for help from her parent’s home.
Sheriff’s deputies were then dispatched to the West Beal City Road residence where Richardson was arrested after an investigation into the incident, Mioduszewski said.
He was then transported to the Isabella County Jail.
Mioduszewski said there was no altercation or argument when Richardson returned to the residence on Thursday. He said it was his understanding that Richardson’s wife was not there, but Richardson was in violation of the bond terms as he was not to go near his wife or the marital residence.
Mioduszewski said he is aware that Richardson was terminated from the Clare County Sheriff’s Department and it was his understanding that it related to the charges, but referred questions to the Clare County Sheriff’s Department.
A sergeant from the Clare County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that Richardson was no longer an employee of the department. Further questions were referred to Clare County Sheriff John Wilson, who was not available for comment over the weekend.
Mioduszewski was unaware of the preliminary exam date on the charges.
The Isabella County Prosecutor’s Office staff also was not available for comment on the charges.
I thought of Pam Aukerman [who was murdered by her ex-husband, Officer Kevin Brainard], when I read these articles. Officer Brainard's physical abuse of Pam began the day after they wed.
Here is how quickly Deputy Jeremy Robinson's domestic violence against his new wife escalated:
September 28, 2008: Deputy Jeremy Robinson and his fiance' announced their engagement and obtained their marriage license.
October 2008: Deputy Jeremy Robinson and his fiance' wed.
February 04, 2009: Deputy Jeremy Robinson assaulted his wife and was arrested on dv charges.
February 05, 2009: Deputy Jeremy Robinson violated the conditions of his bond and was re-arrested.

Jeremy B. Richardson had worked for the sheriff for about eight months when, Feb. 4, he was accused of assaulting his wife at their Nottawa Township home, records show.

A former Clare County Sheriff's deputy was acquitted of a domestic violence charge Wednesday after a two-day trial.
A jury in Isabella County Trial Judge Mark Duthie's courtroom found Jeremy Brickey Richardson, 31, innocent of assaulting his wife, Ashley Richardson, in February.
Jurors deliberated for about an hour before delivering the verdict.
Richardson's attorney, Dan O'Neil, argued self defense and said he was pleased with the verdict.
"He may still have a career in law enforcement," O'Neil said.
Senior Assistant Prosecutor Stuart Black, who tried the case, said he is disappointed with the verdict and that jurors paid close attention during the trial, and "we accept their decision."
Richardson lost his job at the sheriff's department, where he worked for about eight months, after being arrested Feb. 4 for allegedly assaulting his wife.
He ended up back in the Isabella County Jail two days later, for allegedly violating a bond condition, Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said at the time of Richardson's second arrest on Feb. 6.
Richardson was alleged to have assaulted his wife Feb. 4.
Deputies were called to his home in the 2000 block of West Beal City Road in Nottawa Township at 7:48 p.m. Feb. 4.
When officers arrived, they noted that Richardson's wife had left the home after the alleged assault in the couples' bedroom.
She called for help from her parents' home.
After the initial arrest, Richardson posted bond and was released from jail but was arrested again after deputies were called back to the home Feb. 5.
Richardson broke a bond condition by returning to the home.
He had been ordered to stay away from his wife, the sheriff said at the time of the second arrest.
Domestic violence is a 93-day misdemeanor.
