San Diego Strip Clubs: San Diego Theater
October 31, 2011 at 8:12 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsThis large-cast production at New Village Arts Theatre is part of its Ensemble Project, an experiment for the company’s 11th season, including the same corps of actors and artists in every show, to enhance dramatic consistency and cohesion. t
And thematically speaking, aren’t we all looking for a place to call home?
“Of Mice and Men” continues through Nov. 20, at New Village Arts Theatre, 2787 State St., Carlsbad. (760) 433-3245; newvillagearts.org.
On a much lighter note, there’s the musical fable, “Gypsy,” though it, too, is rooted in fact and plumbs dark themes. Much-praised local actor Linda Libby plays the monstrous mother of all stage mothers, Madame Rose, who’ll do absolutely anything to get her daughters into show business, vicariously engineering for them the career she never had.
Based on the true-life story of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee and her also-famous sister, dancer/actor/director June Havoc, the play chronicles a desperate family in difficult times, scraping their way through ‘the circuit’ as vaudeville gave way to burlesque.
San Diego Adult Entertainment: The amazing legacy of a domestic violence survivor
October 29, 2011 at 1:13 am | In San Diego adult entertainment | No Comments… Crime After Crime” by award-winning documentary filmmaker Yoav Potash is the unforgettable, unimaginable story of Debbie Peagler, a woman incarcerated for more than 25 years after the 1983 murder of the man who viciously abused her. Her hope for justice rests on two naïve attorneys, Joshua Safran and Nadia Costa, who have no experience in criminal law but who agree to fight for her. Their more than six-year saga is riveting, harrowing, and ultimately uplifting. The film made its debut at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and has received unanimous rave reviews.

Peagler represents the shocking number of women in this nation’s prisons who are survivors of domestic violence including rape, incest, forced prostitution, assault, and other types of physical and mental abuse.

Holman took a big bite of humble pie and continued. “For years, I somehow managed to stay strong.

Andrew Uridales will stand trial for the murder of five Southern California women
Orange County prosecutors say they’ll seek the death penalty against a former Marine and convicted triple murderer charged with five additional Southern California killings including one in San Diego.
Prosecutors believe Andrew Urdiales shot and killed Maryann Wells, 31, in downtown San Diego in 1988. Wells, a prostitute, was found murdered on Second Avenue.
The 47-year-old defendant will be prosecuted in cases from Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties that stretch from 1986 to 1995. Many of his victims were prostitutes who were repeatedly stabbed or shot.
A former Camp Pendleton-based Marine, Urdiales had already convicted of murdering three Illinois women and was sentenced to death.
However, the state of Illinois banned the death penalty in 2011, reducing the sentences of all men on death row to life without the possibility of parole.

Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) – A prosecutor has told a jury that a convicted killer should be found guilty of 3 cold-case murders in Southern California because his DNA was found on the victims’ bodies.
Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman said Monday during her opening statement that 54-year-old Michael Hughes should be convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of 15-year-old Yvonne Coleman and two prostitutes. Hughes is already serving a life sentence for the murders of four other women in 1992 and 1993.
Hughes is charged with the deaths of Coleman and three women. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty and would present the fourth case as evidence during the penalty phase of the trial should jurors find Hughes guilty.

San Diego Adult Entertainment: Chula Vista to Ease Regulations at Hotels
October 24, 2011 at 5:37 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsOn Tuesday, elected officials in Chula Vista will consider changing a requirement that calls for annual health inspections at hotels and motels citywide. Instead, the proposed amendment requires property owners and hotel management to have their properties certified by a state-certified health inspector every other year.
The requirement was part of a 2007 law that was meant to clean up the mess often found at budget motels.
Problems at area hotels and motels has been an issue for Chula Vista police officers for years. Rampant drug-use and prostitution was found at budget motels. The more the City visited local hotels and motels, the more unsanitary conditions they discovered. In response, the City Council passed regulations that gave the police chief the right to deny permits, and required annual health inspections.

SAN DIEGO A man already serving a life sentence in Mississippi was convicted Monday in the strangling death of a woman in downtown San Diego nearly 36 years ago.
It took a jury about a day to find Leon Johnson, 58, guilty of first-degree murder in the November 1975 death of Luz Borrayo, 26, who worked at a massage parlor.
…
During the two-week trial, jurors were told that police responded to the Twilight Massage Parlor on Fifth Avenue the afternoon of Nov. 22, 1975.
…
Deputy Public Defender Michael Garcia argued that the DNA might prove that Johnson visited the massage parlor but not that he committed premeditated murder. He acknowledged that his client had done terrible things but asked the jury not to decide this case based on Johnson’s past.

Those charges were severed by a federal judge, and this trial will focus solely on the murder of Deshawn “Kemo” McCray, a government informant who was scheduled to testify against one of Bergrin’s clients, William Baskerville.

He gained wider notoriety in 2005 when he represented Sgt. Javal Davis, a New Jersey Army reservist charged in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse case. Davis ultimately pleaded guilty to reduced charges and spent less than four months behind bars. Suspicions that Bergrin may have become too close to the criminal element he represented were bolstered when, two weeks before his 2009 arrest in New Jersey, he pleaded guilty in New York to misdemeanor conspiracy to promote prostitution in exchange for probation in a case involving a high-priced Manhattan escort agency run by one of his clients.
