TRUE CRIME UNCENSORED with BURL BARER

Canada's Crises: The Mr Big Scandal of False Confessions -- Alan R. Warren returns to True Crime Uncensored Saturday April 28th 2pm PT

It started with a frantic call for help from Sebastian Burns and Atif Rafay, when the two boys arrived home at just after 2 a.m. on July 13, 1994, and found Rafay’s family brutally beaten to death in their Bellevue, Washington, home. Who would kill this well-liked family in such a horrific way? Police had no physical evidence and no witnesses; the case was a dead end! It was time to bring in Mr. Big!

Mr. Big is a covert investigation where undercover detectives create a fictitious criminal gang and seduce their suspects into joining them in their criminal activities, and police would soon gain their suspects' confidence and elicit a confession from them.

Burns and Rafay would eventually confess on tape to undercover detectives and be convicted of the three murders of Rafay’s family. In the last 25 years, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) have run more than 350 Mr. Big operations on suspects of crimes where there was no evidence found and have had a 95% success rate in prosecution.

It was in July 2014 when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously that confessions arising from the Mr. Big operations would be considered presumptively inadmissible on another case against Nelson Hart. The Mr. Big Sting in the Hart case was said to have overwhelming inducements, veiled threats of violence, and intimidation and considered an abuse of process by the police.

So now what will happen to the hundreds of other cases that have been tried by this unreliable procedure in which the Mr. Big coerced confession was the only evidence used to convict the suspect? This book will cover the cases that have now been brought back into court on appeals based on the Mr. Big operation and will explain the outcomes.

Alan R. Warren returns to True Crime Uncensored with full details of this crisis in prosecution.

"Everything's quiet in Cashman field..(crickets)....." with those few words, the greatest cultural upheaval in the history of Las Vegas began, and the man behind Rock's great invasion of Las Vegas, driving the mob to distraction, and the good ol' boys to cling more than ever to their positions of power.  was the dynamic hard-edged, hard-headed, clever, creative kind and inventive, Gary M. Naseef.

Gary thought it would be fun to have Janis Joplin perform live in Cashman Field.  Those opposed said it was all a plot to sell Marijuana.  What a glorious period in American history.

The war was on -- the old guard vs the new wave...and everybody won something.  Janis was canceled but it wasn't long before a sudden rumble rolled down the Las Vegas strip- it was...KISSSSSSS

For the first time on a live internet broadcast, the real live Gary Naseef takes us behind the curtain of showbiz to reveal a world that would eat most people alive -- but  Gary Naseef isn't most people.  His life was on the line more than once, and many a greedy thug wanted to shake Garry down for big bucks, but they didn't know where Gary came from, how he was raised and what BS he wouldn't put up with.  Find out this astonishing true story Saturday April 12th on True Crime Uncensored

 

It is still possible to be a good criminal in this age of technology?

"Crime doesn't pay, but the hours are good"  is an old joke, but with all the modern technology and video cams and surveillance, is it still possible to be an old-fashioned gentleman thief? 

Well, it seems crime has evolved in the computer age,  and "paper crimes" are more popular than ever.  Who better to explain the ins and outs of paper crime and identity theft and credit  card fraud and other forms of  financial deception than reformed master criminal and highest ranking member of what they now all the Pink Panther, "Punch" -- he did his first multimillion-dollar heist when only sixteen, but he wound up spending that many years in prison when he was finally captured by New York Major Crimes Detective Joseph Keenan. 

His specialty was heists, but he learned all forms of criminality including every form of financial deception,...does crime still pay, and if so, how?
