SUMNER
What have we missed?

BECKETT
Not much.

ANCIENT WOMAN HOLOGRAM
(continuing)
…exchange knowledge and friendship. In time, a thousand worlds bore the fruit of life in this form. Then one day, our people set foot upon a dark world where a terrible enemy slept.

[Over her head an image of the galaxy with individual star systems appear.]

ANCIENT WOMAN HOLOGRAM
Never before had we encountered beings with powers that rivaled our own. In our overconfidence, we were unprepared and outnumbered. The enemy fed upon the defenseless human worlds like a great scourge, until finally, only Atlantis remained.

[The stars turn red to show the spread of the terrible enemy throughout the galaxy.]

ANCIENT WOMAN HOLOGRAM
This city's great shield was powerful enough to withstand their terrible weapons, but here we were besieged for many years. In an effort to save the last of our kind, we submerged our great city into the ocean. The Atlantis Stargate was the one and only link back to Earth from this galaxy, and those who remained used it to return to that world that was once home. There, the last survivors of Atlantis lived out the remainder of their lives. This city was left to slumber, in the hope that our kind would one day return.

[The hologram stops speaking, and Beckett steps away from the console. She disappears.]

MCKAY
Huh. So the story of Atlantis is true. A great city that sank in the ocean.

BECKETT
It just didn't happen on Earth.

MCKAY
Well, the Ancient Greeks must have heard it from one of the surviving Ancients.

SUMNER
I don't like the fact they got their asses kicked.

They must think I've got a missile,
because they won't turn on their radar, chicken shits.
We have bingo fuel.
Can it. We're staying.
I'm not leaving the skipper out here alone.
I heard that, Razor.
You do nothing of the kind.
You're going to be naked out here without us, sir.
You get your young ass back and rearm.
No way, sir, we're staying.
That's an order.
You hear me?
Yes, sir.
We have a pickup for fuel.
Make a ready deck, make a ready deck.

Hey, one more thing.
I'm changing your name to Straight Razor.
Yeah.
You've become a real weapon, son.

Washington Supreme Court rejects Yates petition

Jim Camden The Spokesman-Review


SPOKANE — Serial killer Robert Yates of Spokane, who faces the death sentence as well as multiple life terms, is not entitled to a new hearing or a review of his case, the state Supreme Court said today.

The court rejected Yates’ petition that listed 25 different errors in his convictions, including jury bias, ineffective counsel and procedural errors. Also rejected was a claim that his death sentence was “disproportional” because other persons convicted of multiple murders received life sentences.

None of those claims warrant a new hearing, the court said.

“Yates has failed to establish any meritorious claims,” the majority decision, written by Justice Susan Owens, said in dismissing what is known as a personal restraint petition.

Yates, a Spokane factory worker and former military helicopter pilot, pleaded guilty in 2000 to 13 murders in Spokane County and received a total of 408 years in prison as a result of a plea deal. In 2002, he was sentenced to death by a Tacoma jury for two separate convictions for murders in Pierce County, the 1997 slaying of Melinda Mercer and the 1998 slaying of Connie Ellis.

He has long argued that the plea agreement should have kept him from the death penalty for any murder in Washington State, but the state Supreme Court has already upheld the sentence in the direct appeal from those Pierce County convictions.

In the personal restraint petition, Yates’ attorneys made some of the same arguments the earlier appeal rejected, the court said. He also misrepresents the state’s system of comparing cases where the convicted murderer receives the death penalty to those where a murderer receives a life sentence, Owens wrote. The factors considered in the review — nature of the crime, aggravating circumstances, criminal history and personal history — aren’t vague and Yates knew what they were.

His attorneys argued that Yates’ case should have been compared to that of Gary Ridgway, the so-called Green River killer, who received life sentences as a result of a plea deal. The court said that comparison was made, but just because prosecutors exercise their discretion to offer plea deals doesn’t make his sentence disproportionate.

Death penalty cases don’t require mathematical precision, Owens wrote. Instead the law says the death penalty can’t be imposed “wantonly or freakishly”. If the facts in a case are similar to some facts in other cases where capital punishment is imposed, the sentence is proportionate.

In his petition, Yates argued that his trial lawyers made several major mistakes, including a failure to present more testimony from family and friends during the penalty phase, before the jury decided he should get the death penalty. But trial counsel said they were leery of calling some of his family members because “most were understandably conflicted” and worried about what they might say on cross-examination. That’s not unreasonable, Owens wrote, because prosecutors could have argued Yates victimized his own family through his actions.

His attorneys also said the Pierce County jury that convicted and sentenced him was drawn from a pool that under-represents the community’s minority population. Statistically that was true, but they didn’t prove those numbers meet the test of not being “fair and reasonable” representation, and the county’s process for selecting a jury pool had previously been upheld.

Yates also claimed his right to a fair and public trial was violated because portions of the jury selection were closed to the public and some jury questionnaires were sealed. The court said the evidence suggests the court was only closed to the public while the panel was being seated, and prospective jurors were questioned in open court and could be challenged based on those answers.

The argument that the state’s death penalty statute is unconstitutional was rejected, based on previous cases that have upheld the law.

Yates remains on death row at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.

Arrest

On Tuesday, April 18, 2000, Robert L. Yates, Jr. was arrested for the murder of Jennifer Joseph. A search warrant executed at the time of his arrest enabled authorities to obtain blood samples from Yates, and a subsequent DNA analysis was found to match the DNA profiles of sperm samples taken from victims Scott, Johnson, Wason, McClenahan, Mercer, Oster, Maybin, and Derning.

Detectives also went to Yates' home where they noted species of plants that were identical to the vegetation that had covered the bodies of victims Wason, McClenahan, and Maybin. They also found in plain view at his home pieces of broken concrete, wood with white paint peeling from it, peanut shells and rocks, all of which were present in samples taken from the sites where the aforementioned victims were found and which was used to try and conceal their bodies. They also found several "packing peanuts" strewn about the yard.

After I left Redmond Washington in February 2004 and moved to Spokane Valley, look at your maps if you want to know how to get there, I was living at a long-term hotel where I planned to stay until I found other employment and then I was going to rent an apartment. Just about every day I saw a chief petty officer in a khaki United States Navy uniform pass by my window. I guess they had him in the unit next door to mine. I saw him often enough that I identified the chief petty officer insignia on the shirt collar of his uniform.

They certainly went to great lengths to discredit me. I mean, am I not discredited even to this very day?

But hey, let's give the Devil some credit where credit is due. I was never a chief petty officer of the United States Navy.

Between 1990 and 1993 contiguously I was a chief warrant officer of the United States Marine Corps.

Memorable quotes for

Batman Begins (2005) [ RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS US Title 18 ]


Carmine Falcone: No gun? I'm insulted! You could have just sent a thank-you note.

Bruce Wayne: I didn't come here to thank you. I came here to show you that not everyone in Gotham's afraid of you.

Carmine Falcone: Only those who know me, kid. Look around you: you'll see two councilmen, a union official, a couple off-duty cops, and a judge.

[points a gun at Bruce]

Carmine Falcone: Now, I wouldn't have a second's hesitation of blowing your head off right here and right now in front of 'em. Now, that's power you can't buy! That's the power of fear.

Bruce Wayne: I'm not afraid of you.

Carmine Falcone: Because you think you got nothing to lose. But you haven't thought it through. You haven't thought about your lady-friend down at the D.A.'s office. You haven't thought about your old butler. Bang!

[Falcone pulls the trigger, but the hammer falls on an empty chamber with a click; he puts the gun away]

Carmine Falcone: People from your world have so *much* to lose. Now, you think because your mommy and your daddy got shot, you know about the ugly side of life, but you don't. You've never tasted desperate. You're, uh, you're Bruce Wayne, the Prince of Gotham; you'd have to go a thousand miles to meet someone who didn't know your name. So, don't-don't come down here with your anger, trying to prove something to yourself. This is a world you'll never understand. And you always fear what you don't understand. Alright.

[Falcone gives his bodyguards a signal to remove Bruce; they take hold of him, and he struggles against their grip]

Carmine Falcone: Yeah, you got spirit, kid. I'll give you that.

Daughter to Seattle fed prosecutor's killer: 'I'm not afraid of you'

By LEVI PULKKINEN, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF

Updated 09:40 p.m., Wednesday, September 28, 2011


Nearly a decade after the murder of her father, Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Wales, Amy Wales has words for him -- and for whoever committed the crime.

For her father, she has love and a hole in her heart, and the promise that she and her brother will never give up on him.

For the assassin who shot Wales as he sat typing


Holder was on hand in Seattle to announce the renewed effort, which will include billboard and media announcements meant to encourage anyone with information to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or WalesTips@ic.fbi.gov. King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, Seattle Police Chief John Diaz and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn were on hand for the show of force, as were former Mayor Greg Nickels and Seattle City Councilman Tim Burgess.

Wales, a federal prosecutor of 18 years assigned to the white collar crime unit, was seated at a desk in the basement of his home on Oct. 11, 2001, when a gunman fired on him through a window. He died the following day.

“We will never give up our search for the truth,” Holder said. “This is an active case. This is an active investigation. We continue to constantly and aggressively pursue leads.”
