A lawyer for a paramedic, who said he saw a woman who alleged she had been assaulted by Carlita Kilpatrick, said today he’s upset with a judge’s decision to allow a lawsuit to proceed.
Paramedic Cenobio Chapa filed the lawsuit against the City of Detroit and the Fire Department after being fired Oct. 24, a day after an affidavit with his claims went public.
Chapa, 45, said in an affidavit released Oct. 23 by Norman Yatooma — the attorney representing the family of slain stripper Tamara Greene — that the woman Chapa saw in fall 2002 in a wheelchair was loud and emotional and accompanied by the mayor’s security team.

Detroit Escorts: Brighton Beach won’t be mourned
June 25, 2009 at 9:13 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsFrightened off by its spooky biker clubhouse vibe, many Windsor residents have not ventured into the Beach in years. Soon they won’t be able to, its century-old streets and alleys obliterated by the massive plaza.
Gone will be Water Street, and its former horse corral, Cole and Audrey avenues. Page and Reed streets, Dupont and Linsell avenues will be history, literally, as will be Scotten Road. Parts of Chappus will survive, as will portions of Broadway Street.
For the last decade or so, the streets of Brighton Beach have been a forlorn dumping ground for those shirking their garbage taxes: broken air conditioners, couches, construction waste and tires are dumped there by the tonne.
The morning after Valentine’s Day, 1995, sad prostitute Diane Dobson was found dead in a ditch on Water Street. Her murder remains unsolved.

“As the court has set aside the default judgment, this matter will proceed during the normal course of litigation and will be decided on its merits,” Krystal Crittendon, the city’s corporation counsel, said in a statement.
Crittendon said she also has reassigned the case to a different attorney.
“Additionally, the appropriate disciplinary action will be pursued related to the entry of the default,” Crittendon said.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: Land cites gains in Washington
June 25, 2009 at 2:01 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsThe law includes several provisions necessary to aggressively prosecute sex traffickers in the United States and to strengthen the State Department’s efforts to combat slavery and trafficking worldwide.
Passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act was another major victory that would not have been possible without Southern Baptists’ involvement, Land said. The bill, signed into law by President Obama June 22, grants authority to the Food and Drug Administration to regulate the marketing, manufacturing, labeling, distribution and sale of tobacco products.
The bill was a long time coming, Land said, noting the SBC passed its first resolution calling for federal regulation of tobacco in the 1930s. Tobacco kills 400,000 people a year, and the measure will blunt cigarette companies’ attempts to reach the youth market with their deadly products, he said.
“They can’t continue to pimp these cancer sticks to our children,” Land said of the tobacco companies.
