Powered By iWebRSS.comget more immigration newsHampton police have arrested Kimberly Vick Fisher, 30, and charged her with one count of attempted murder, after she allegedly left her newborn infant in the woods on Friday.
On Friday afternoon, the baby was found by some contractors working on Rendon Drive. They heard crying coming from a heavily wooded area, and when they investigated, they discovered an infant girl wrapped in a trash bag with the umbilical cord still attached.
The baby was transported to the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, and is doing well according to police.
Fisher is currently being held in the Hampton City Jail.
Virginia law allows for mothers to drop their unwanted babies off at any hospital or fire station throughout the state, with no questions asked. The law was enacted to prevent crimes such as this one, which could have easily ended in tragedy.

Powered By iWebRSS.com immigration news - sex crimes of illegal immigrantsA little after 9:00 p.m., Teresa Lewis was put to death by lethal injection at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Virginia. Earlier in the week, her requests for clemency were denied by both Gov. Bob McDonnell and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Her last meal consisted of fried chicken, peas, German chocolate cake and a Dr. Pepper.
In 2003, Lewis pleaded guilty to masterminding the October 2002 murders of her husband and stepson in Pittsylvania County.
At her sentencing, Circuit Court Judge Charles Strauss addressed Lewis, telling her that she was a cold, emotionless killer, and was motivated solely by financial reasons. She was actually given two death sentences, plus 53 years.
Prosecutors said that Lewis boasted to friends that she had married Julian Lewis Jr., simply for money and offered sex to the two men who carried out the murders. She was to be the sole beneficiary of a $250,000 life insurance policy.
Lewis, not only offered herself to the hired hit men, but her 16-year-old daughter as well. She left a door unlocked, and sat by as her husband and step-son were gunned down, waiting an hour to call 911.
Both men were shot repeatedly with shotguns.
In a scene which can only be described as sickening, Lewis actually went through her husband’s pockets, as he lay dying, gasping for air. A deputy sheriff testified that when he arrived on the scene, Julian Lewis was still alive, and told him: “My wife knows who done this to me.â€
The gunmen, Rodney Fuller and Matthew Shallenberger, were both sentenced to life in prison. Shallenberger committed suicide in 2006 at Wallens Ridge State Prison.
Lewis' daughter, Christie Lynn Bean, who knew about the plot but kept quiet, also served time in prison.
Lewis’ attorney, James Rocap, claimed that his client was not capable of plotting the murders due to her severe dependency on prescription drugs, as well as a personality disorder which rendered her overly dependent on men.
He also said that Lewis developed a “deep faith and deep remorse for the crimes.â€
Though her defenders claimed that Lewis should not have been executed due to her low IQ (around 72), she fully understood her actions, as was evident in a recent interview with Richmond’s WTVR.
During the interview, Lewis expressed sorrow for her heinous crimes, saying: “Knowing that I was part of it, of taking her family away and my participation in it, I don't think there's enough words to even begin to tell her how sorry I am. Even good people and Christian people, all people, can make a wrong decision and end up being where I'm at.â€
Since reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976, Virginia has carried-out 108 executions.

Powered By iWebRSS.comsee justice served immigration newsOn Tuesday, Letica Dina Stagg, 41, a former Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail correctional officer was convicted of one count of having sex with an inmate, which is a felony. However, at the suggestion of Williamsburg- James City County Commonwealth's Attorney Nate Green, the same jury imposed only a $25 fine.
The former guard could have received a prison sentence of up to five years.
Stagg, who began working as a guard at the jail in 2004, resigned in September 2009 after it was alleged that she had sex with inmate, Tarik Watson, 33.
Stagg initially admitted to the relationship, but then claimed that she had been forced into the confession.
During the trial, a prison official testified that Watson made over 230 phone calls to Stagg within a two-month period in which the two discussed their sexual relationship in graphic detail.
While Stagg maintained her innocence during Tuesday’s proceedings, she admitted that she and Watson had a previous relationship while the two attended Thomas Nelson Community College.

The two illegal aliens allegedly abducted a woman at knife point as she walked to her car in the 2100 block of Pacific Avenue.
According to police, the suspects forced the woman into their SUV and took her to another to location, where she was sexually assaulted. They then drove to a convenience store, where the victim escaped and called police.
Hernandez and Jimenez are both charged with conspiracy to commit abduction, conspiracy to commit rape, abduction with intent to defile and rape. One of the suspects also faces burglary charges in Chesapeake.
The illegal aliens are being held in the Virginia Beach Correctional Center without bond. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer has been issued.

Powered By iWebRSS.comsee justice served immigration newsThe Associated Press recently ran a story about Jeffrey Allen Weathers, who moved from Alaska to Puerto Rico in order to avoid registering as a sex offender, as the U.S. territory has very weak laws regarding those who commit crimes against children.
Weathers, who was convicted of a sexual assault on a minor and possession of child pornography, was arrested by federal authorities and brought back to the mainland.
Deputy U.S. Marshall Rafael Escobar reported that five unregistered sex offenders hiding-out in Puerto Rico have been arrested in the last year, and his agency is currently searching for 10 more on the island.
Escobar said: “I'm sure there's a bunch more. The Internet is there, and these guys are checking to see where the law is weakest.â€
Unlike the U.S. mainland, failing to register as a sex offender in Puerto Rico is only a misdemeanor, not a felony. There are also no laws on the island that prevent convicted child molesters from living near schools or parks.
According to Puerto Rico police Capt. Margarita George, around six convicted sex offenders come to the island every month and register with the police.
But what the AP failed to report is what may be the main draw for U.S. child molesters to move to the Carribean paradise…the age of sexual consent in Puerto Rico is only 14-years of age!
The following is a list of countries that have an age of sexual consent of 14 or lower (where indicated):
-Albania -Bulgaria -Chile -China -Colombia -Ecuador -Estonia -Hungary -Italy -Liechtenstein -Lithuania -Mexico (12) -Moldova -Montenegro -Nigeria (13) -Peru -Serbia -South Korea (13) -Spain (13) -Syria (13) -Vatican (12) -Zimbabwe (12)
Most Muslim countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia have no age of consent law, as it is illegal to have sexual relations outside of marriage. However, these countries allow adult males to “marry†multiple women, and very young girls. Â

The assault allegedly took place in July, at Evans’ home.

-Albania -Bulgaria -Chile -China -Colombia -Ecuador -Estonia -Hungary -Italy -Liechtenstein -Lithuania -Mexico (12) -Moldova -Montenegro -Nigeria (13) -Peru -Serbia -South Korea (13) -Spain (13) -Syria (13) -Vatican (12) -Zimbabwe (12)
Most Muslim countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia have no age of consent law, as it is illegal to have sexual relations outside of marriage. However, these countries allow adult males to “marry†multiple women, and very young girls. Â
Powered By iWebRSS.comget more immigration newsThe Associated Press recently ran a story about Jeffrey Allen Weathers, who moved from Alaska to Puerto Rico in order to avoid registering as a sex offender, as the U.S. territory has very weak laws regarding those who commit crimes against children.
Weathers, who was convicted of a sexual assault on a minor and possession of child pornography, was arrested by federal authorities and brought back to the mainland.
Deputy U.S. Marshall Rafael Escobar reported that five unregistered sex offenders hiding-out in Puerto Rico have been arrested in the last year, and his agency is currently searching for 10 more on the island.
Escobar said: “I'm sure there's a bunch more. The Internet is there, and these guys are checking to see where the law is weakest.â€
Unlike the U.S. mainland, failing to register as a sex offender in Puerto Rico is only a misdemeanor, not a felony. There are also no laws on the island that prevent convicted child molesters from living near schools or parks.
According to Puerto Rico police Capt. Margarita George, around six convicted sex offenders come to the island every month and register with the police.

Police found the man unconscious on the sidewalk.
Baker died the next day in Lynchburg General Hospital.
Kenneth Davis and Vernon Jackson, both 16, and an unnamed 13-year-old were arrested Tuesday, and charged with murder.
Court documents indicate that Davis was trying to impress a group of girls, telling them that he would hit the next person he saw.
Witnesses report seeing him run up to the octogenarian “in an aggressive manner†and punch him. The blow was so severe, it was actually audible to many of those present.
He continued to kick Baker as he lay on the ground.
The affidavit states: “A witness dining at the Hash House saw a young black male kick the victim in the face after he had already been knocked to the ground. The victim was unconscious upon bystanders coming to his aid.â€
Lynchburg Police Capt. Todd Swisher told the News and Advance: “This seems to be an unprovoked, random violent act. What a tragic event.â€
The murder threatens to stoke racial tensions in Lynchburg, as many believe the attack was at least in partâ€"racially motivated.
On Friday, local black leaders gathered near the site of the beating to express their sorrow for what happened, but claimed the deadly assault had nothing to do with race.
Providence Place pastor James Coleman said: “It could have been any one of us that happened along that night. And had the victim been an elderly African-American and the perpetrators three white youths, we would still be standing here today.†Â

On June 11, Strieper, pleaded guilty to attempted enticement and child pornography charges in Norfolk Federal Court.
The former Norfolk-based sailor, was arrested in February after an undercover investigation by federal agents.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Strieper became involved in a rather sickening online chat with another man in the fall of 2009. The two talked about kidnapping an raping a child. The other man turned out to be a federal informant.
According to court documents, in a phone conversation, on Dec. 1, 2009, Strieper asked the informant: “Have you ever thought of just grabbing a nice cutie that is walking home from school or something?â€
In another phone call, the following day, Strieper told his potential accomplice: “If you're flexible, you could fly here and then we can drive to a town like 45 minutes away or something like that.â€
The two spoke about committing the crime for two months. The phone conversations and online chats were recorded by investigators.
Eventually, Strieper asked the man to travel from his home in St. Louis to carry out the kidnapping and rape, possibly on a child as young as two years of age. When Strieper arrived at Norfolk International Airport, he was arrested.
Federal agents found duct tape, rubber gloves, bleach, several bottles of pills, and an Elmo doll in Strieper’s vehicle.
At the time of his arrest, Strieper’s Facebook page contained several pictures of small children, listed as “friends.†The page has since been removed.

The teenager is charged with attempted malicious wounding, malicious wounding, two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony and discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school.
According to Charlottesville Police Lt. Gary Pleasants, the shooting happened during a confrontation involving several individuals. The boy was apparently aiming at another teenager, but instead, hit the girl in the leg.
The victim was taken to the University of Virginia Medical Center, where she was treated and released.
Because of his age, police are not releasing the name of the alleged shooter.
Powered By iWebRSS.comread interesting immigration news opinionsThe area which was once known as the “Times Square of the South,†has become a dangerous section of town, filled with abandoned businesses and rundown apartment complexes. Though Norfolk’s City Council has been promising for years, to clean up the Wards Corner/Southern Shopping Center area, residents are still waiting and living in fear.
The following commentary which voices the frustration felt by law abiding citizens, appeared on the community website known as Wards Corner Now on September 19, 2009:
“The East Little Creek Road Corridor between Wards Corner and Wal-Mart is becoming a gun range with humans as targets. Two murders this week in the 800 block of Banaker Road. One murder last week in the 300 block of Fort Worth Avenue and today, Saturday, another shooting in the 800 block of East Little Creek Road.
Why isn’t Norfolk going to war on this dysfunction that is becoming a part of every day life in our area? Is it because most of the killings and shootings involve black folks? If this criminal activity were taking place in Downtown, you want to bet that the Mayor and several City Council folks would have their mugs all over the television news. Case in point â€" The Granby Theater shooting in March of 2007. All hell broke loose in the city’s officialdom.
Why is violence in one part of the city dealt with severely and in other areas almost ignored? One answer is institutional racism. Black folks killing each other in Norfolk is ok as long as it doesn’t effect the economic development efforts in Downtown.â€
Wards Corner Now is a group of concerned citizens, churches and businesses in the Greater Wards Corner area.
The following crimes occurred in the Wards Corner/Southern Shopping Center area between January 1, 2007-September 2, 2010 (Source: Norfolk Police Department crime statistics):
-484 assaults -462 burglaries -247 robberies -22 rapes -15 homicides -121 narcotics violations -665 acts of vandalism -1,187 larcenies -11 acts of prostitution -241 stolen vehicles
*Reporter’s note: While seemingly limitless resources are spent on the Ghent/Downtown area of Norfolkâ€"Wards Corner has become the most forgotten part of the city. It should be an embarrassment to the city council.
How many hard working residents have to fall victim to crime before this complacent council takes action?

The arrests came as a result of a multi-agency investigation by the Chesapeake Police Department, the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement Agents.
The illegal aliens had apparently turned their mobile home into a one-stop shop for everything from drugs to fake green cards.
A search warrant found 25 cases of beer, cigarettes, over $600 cash, marijuana and fraudulent identification cards.
Gomez-Diaz and Sanchez-Guzman have been charged with possession of cigarettes with intent to distribute or sell, possession of false identity, selling alcohol without a license and maintaining a common nuisance.
Sanchez-Guzman is also charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
Both suspects are currently being held in the Chesapeake Correctional Center on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer.

However, one thing to remember is that one beer, or three-ounce glass of wine, or one shot (one-ounce) of hard liquorâ€"all contain the same amount alcohol.
Use the following link to calculate your BAL: http://dui.drivinglaws.org/drink-table.php:
Of course, the best advice is not to drink at all when you are driving. With local and state police out in unprecedented numbers this Labor Day weekend, you are not only risking serious injury and even loss of life by drinking and driving, but your freedom as well.
