• How Many Public Enemy Number One Death Squaders Can You Squeeze Onto Death Row?

  Billy Joe Johnson, Orange County's most infamous white supremacist and killer, inched closer this week to San Quentin State Prison's Death Row. Deputy District Attorney Ebrahim Baytieh charged Johnson (pictured) with the lying-in-wait 2002 murder of a fellow Public Enemy Number One (PENI) Death Squad member in Anaheim. In July, a jury convicted Michael Alan Lamb and Jacob Anthony Rump for the killing. But during the trial Johnson tried to save his friends from convictions by claiming he alone

  Sheriff's Lawyer Pal Going to the Slammer: Somehow defense attorney Joe Cavallo—indicted Sheriff Michael S. Carona’s longtime drinking buddy—was able to operate a bail bonds scheme inside Carona’s jail. Hmmm. Wonder how that happened. Any ideas Mikey? Anyhow, yesterday Cavallo (pictured) became the latest in a series of Carona associates to win incarceration. Superior Court Judge Carla M. Singer ordered him to serve six months in jail, which—given his creativity—could prove profitab

• Murder, MySpace, Babysitters, Betrayal: The Best National True Crime Stories of 2007

  They are the modern versions of monster stories. True Crime writers seek out such tales every day, finding them in two sentence-long police blotter blurbs, law enforcement sources lamenting the one that got away, or victims looking for justice. They pile on hours of research and interviews, building a case while crafting a narrative. But unlike campfire tales, these monster stories cannot be embellished. The tale must be told straight. And as you will read in this collection, no amount of creat

• Lamb Chopped: White Supremacist Gets Death

  White supremacist gangster and killer Michael Lamb (pictured) trotted into a heavily guarded Orange County courtroom this afternoon, chuckled with his lawyers and watched quietly as a court clerk announced the jury's verdict: death. But the proceedings, which took less than two minutes, nearly left Senior Deputy District Attorney Ebrahim Baytieh 0-2 in his attempts to give Lamb, a career criminal and member of Public Enemy Number One's (PEN1) Death Squad, the ultimate punishment. A lone, sobbi

  Who created Billy Joe Johnson?​There was something comical about defense attorney Michael Molfetta's opening performance today in the trial of legendary Costa Mesa serial killer/white supremacist Billy Joe Johnson. Molfetta, a former prosecutor with legendary oratory skills, represents Johnson--a vicious, lisping specimen for California crime annals. If convicted, the Public Enemy Number One Death Squad (PEN1) and former Nazi Low Rider (NLR) killer faces a one-way trip to San Quentin State Pri

An animated, wide-eyed smile appeared on Johnson's prison pale face when he saw his defense lawyer, Michael Molfetta. In court, the 46-year-old white supremacist gang member, Nazi lover and career criminal from Costa Mesa often looks like the guest of honor at a backyard b

Johnson accepted the outcome of the hearing, which took less than six minutes, with the same aplomb he's exhibited during the month-long proceedings.

His website puts the California-certified attorney on the same professional level as a lawyer who uses a Gmail account as their work email. He once represented convicted neo-Nazi killer Billy Joe Johnson, laughably denying to the Los Angeles Times that his client belonged a white-power gang. And despite his wab ethnicity, O
