A volunteer intern with the Onslow County district attorney's office is the center of an investigation into copied documents in the Cesar Laurean case.

District Attorney Dewey Hudson tells WITN News that he expects an arrest to be made today. Hudson has called a 3 p.m. news conference to further brief reporters.

Yes thank you CW!

Hmm, now this revelation leads to a lot of questions.

Was Kay's source the intern? Was the entire case file copied or only a select few pages copied? Could this leak compromise the case against Laurean?

Did Dewey get suspicious about the possible leaking of information from his office and made contact with the OCSO to 'shake the trees'?

Just when you think this case can't get any weirder, it does.

[henry]

:patriot: nuttintodo - how are you?

do we know if any local stations will be livestreaming this news conference?

crap . . . i didn't want this thread opened with news like this - i'd rather have had it opened when cesar came marching home!

edit . . . double crap - did you see what they are talking about :eek: . . .

[nuttintodo]

I'm doing well henry, thanks!

Yes I thought the place would only be opened when Laurean was back in Jacksonville doing the 'perp walk'.

Never saw this one coming...

More info has been released per WITN.

Robert Sharpe was the intern who was the confidential source for LK and the Daily News. He says he expects to be arrested and charged with misdeamnor larceny today. He sounds bitter towards the paper too. I posted the link on the link page.

Per WITN, LLE has recovered hundreds of documents in the case and a CD. Sounds like he was a busy little beaver.

I haven't seen anything about a livestream but I'll keep an eye out and let you know.

IIRC, word is Cesar is fighting extradition. I don't expect him back in the USA anytime soon.

That's what I've heard too. So it may be a couple of years before he's back, if ever.

i'm not at all surprised if he is fighting it. what does he have to come back to???

[henry]

:eek: hundreds of documents involved & a cd . . . update now available

During the phone interview, Sharpe was critical of the newspaper. "I am very disappointed with the Daily News. I was supposed to be a confidential source, they screwed me over and offered no help or assistance afterward. I put my trust in the organization," Sharpe told WITN

I agree.

I guess his parents are able to buy him a reasonably comfortable lifestyle and maybe some protection n prision. Otherwise, I woud think that he would want the heck out of Mexican jail. JMO

i believe lindell just committed career suicide. this also won't bode well for the jdnews in general.

I just hope it doesn't affect cesar's prosecution if and when he comes back to america:(

and shame on that intern for jeopardizing justice for maria!

ITA!

Any connection LK had with either the DA's office or OCSO is now non-existent. I don't blame them for never telling him anything else.

I wonder what, if any, ramifications will be in store for Mr. Kay?

Funny thing WITN and other local media outlets are all over this but JDNews hasn't updated their lead article online.

Tabloid journalism...

I hope this doesn't do irreparable harm to the case against CAL.

:seeya: MW, hope all is well in Va.

District Attorney Worker Charged With Copying Cesar Laurean Documents - August 15, 2008

A volunteer intern with the Onslow County district attorney's office has been charged with felony embezzlement and misdemeanor larceny in connection with stolen documents in the Cesar Laurean case. Robert Sharpe tells WITN News that he was a confidential source for the Jacksonville Daily News.

Wow, wow, wow. Wonder what was in it for the intern.

That is a good question.

From the way LK has spoken in the past, the JDN operates on a pretty tight budget.

According to the WITN link the intern, Robert Sharpe, has been chanrged wtih felony embezzlement, which to me indicates $$$$$

I saw that Kel65. I agree with your comment on the embezzlement = $$$$'s. But from where? The DA's office?

[Lyn_T]

:seeya: Hi all....hmmm, another twist and turn as DA H put it. Does make one wonder what was in it for the "source", was he paid or what?

The silence at JDNews on this is deafening to say the least.

Good to see everyone.

Maybe we will learn more about that from the press conference. I hope they live stream it.

[Kel65]

Okay, what are we to make about the sexual preference thing?

Could this be what led Cesar to murder Maria. Did he swing both ways and she had proof that she could provide to the USMC? Did this cause the rage?

Greetings everyone. I've been wondering about the unholy alliance between RS and LK with reference as to how it would all play out in court IF McNeil was committed to fighting for CL's life.

In particular I wondered about how ethical some of the goings on have been and if it could pierce the trial proceedings given some of what we've seen.

Once Dewey and Rick started advocating for a less than innocent Christina, I felt they might be stepping over the line. But this latest twist tops that IMO.

Can't wait to hear more and hope Lindell didn't get himself into a serious pickle, but I do agree it's not going to bode well for his career.

ALL JMO :patriot:

[CANDYKISSES]

Kel, that goes in my file right behind the OFFICER story....:shrug:

I think someone likes to parse the wording in anything, therefore affording them the limelight as they make hay with what essentially amounts to not so much IMOO.

I see this morsel coming from the web allegations on porn and some of the sites allegedly visited. It makes for interest and HITS on a certain WEBSITE IMO.

Did anything ever come of the OFFICER STORY? I have yet to see anything at all.

I see the same thing happening with the SEXUAL PREFERENCES, but you never know.

Rumors are out there alleging that base is known for HYPER-SEXUALITY, but I think you will always have the swinger/experimenting groups with deployments and a need to bond with peers. Remember the Cindy Summers case?

I would require something more substantial and Lord knows when you ask anything about the OFFICER allegation, it's met with more spinning IMO.

wow! glad you're here!

jdnews has updated their site, i think, from what they published earlier this a.m. . . . but didn't update the header time . . . publisher potter is quoted as saying now . . .

"News organizations often work with and assist other news organizations on these types of stories, but no contact information about any source was provided without permission of that person,"

http://www.jdnews.com/news/laurean_58812___article.html/cpl_attorney.html

edit . . . kel65 . . . i'd like to see the news conference before commenting on the sexual preference thing :)

[Kel65]

I wonder if the DA's office will receive questions from reporters about the sexual preference stuff. I would not be suprised at this point, if there is something to it. Nothing abou this case surprises me anymore. It just get more and more bizarre. as time goes on.

I am beginning to wonder if the intern asked for money when he contacted by the undercover officer? I know I'm taking a leap here in assuming contact was made between the two (and I'm hoping my parachute is in working order) but that's what popped in my mind when Newsweek was mentioned.

I hope for the Daily News' sake that no money was passed between LK and the intern.

[caejde]

Hi, everyone. I sure hope this doesn't hurt the case. I hope to see the press conference at 3 today.

[henry]

not a young college kid . . . picture of him also posted

Robert Paul Sharpe, 33, of Harris Creek Road in Jacksonville was charged Friday by the Onslow County Sheriff's Department with embezzlement and misdemeanor larceny.

Here's a little food for thought Nutty.....

FROM WITN...

Throughout its coverage of the Laurean case the Daily News has cited "sources close to the investigation" in revealing information that had not been released to other news organizations.

:shrug:

[court~critic1®]

thansk to all for the news. I was begining to think this story was dead and fogotten. As imohoo I believe Cl will never be brough to trial and just be another one in Mex. from the USA that gets away with murder. moo


Oh wow ,I just noticed, I am only a member again for the 7th time. lol

safe one all!

According to SB during the PC, they first started to think there was a problem when a picture was leaked.

JMO, I believe the picture he is referring to is the one of Chrissy Laurean on Dateline.

In a newer article up on JD News...Dick McNeil says he expects Cesar to plead "not guilty" when he returns back to town.

Oh my I did not know cl was fighting coming back to the states. I guess we will never know really what happened in this case. I bet this will mess the case up for le or the da. I think cl will get out of this now.:rose:

[henry]

:seeya: martha . . . i totally agree with you - unfortunately it's just the excuse/reason mexico is looking for :(

at monday's hearing . . . not much happened

"On Monday, special prosecutor Ben David asked Judge W.M. Cameron to close the evidence in the Sharpe case, since revealing the evidence could impact Laurean's case."

http://www.jdnews.com/news/laurean_58887___article.html/case_district.html

& nothing mentioned about his next appearance that i can find . . . another :(

& . . . newsweek is not too happy about LE posing as a reporter in their undercover operation . . .

"It's unacceptable and inappropriate for anyone to pretend to be a reporter," Newsweek attorney Steve Fuzesi said, "but even more inappropriate for a law enforcement person to use that as a tool -- if the allegations here are true." Fuzesi said Newsweek is looking into the reports."

THANK YOU HENRY for the up date on this case. I was hoping cl would be back in the states soon. He may never be back in the states. He may get out ot this or will they try him in mexico for the killings? Please send me any up dates on cl. Maybe someone will write a book on this case. I wonder how cl is doing in mexico and if his family has been to see him. I live to far away to get any news on him. thanks all this is jmho:rose:

any news/updates?

I have not heard any thing on this case. wish we could hear something and maybe find out if cl will be brought back to usa. He may never be on trial for this. jmho. :rose:

There should be an outcry from the American public to bring this man back to the USA to face murder charges.:flamemad:

You or so right. they need to bring him back and now not 10 years from now. what is wrong with le. or who ever is sup to be in charge of this case. jmho:rose:
