It has now come to the attention of the DA’s office that the evidence obtained in the Murdoch case was obtained illegally. The Great State of New Mexico passed a voyeurism law that prohibits the video taping others in their homes, restrooms, etc… What does this mean, for Murdoch’s dream team; it means that the video will be suppressed. As a result of suppression, everything else obtain as a result of the illegally recorded video will be suppressed by the courts as well. This means that the Albuquerque Police Department does not have a case and the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office looks like a bunch of buffoons for allowing this bogus trash in the first place.
This will clear the way for Murdoch to sue the Albuquerque Police Department and the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office. The dollar amount may be well over a million dollars. This case will never go to trial. Any jury that sees a respected presiding district court judge who is paralyzed from the waist down, whose career and life was ruined by the reckless acts of the Albuquerque Police Department and the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office will quickly grant an enormous award; around the four to ten million dollar range. Berry may be asking for a tax increase to cover the millions of dollars that Schultz keeps costing the City of Albuquerque. The City will be wise to pull out the “Sam Costales Check Book” and start writing out those zero’s behind that first digit.
One last thing for Kari Brandenburg; amend the charges against Murdoch; this will help Murdoch’s dream team show malicious prosecution. This will open up the DA’s checkbook wider. As you know juries are big on retaliation.
Here is another case for the IRO to look into. The Murdoch caper will need to be administratively reviewed and swift action must be taken in order to save what little credibility APD has left. At this point the final domino from the Fifth Floor will fall; DC Paul Feist. Obviously Feist being a deputy chief had knowledge of the shoddy investigation and approved it. When the Murdoch fiasco broke, Feist was on television acting conservatively smug and victorious, as did Commander Doug West. Another two careers flushed down the toilet.
Gov. Martinez; get off your tail feathers and do something. The “lame duck” routine is getting old and quite frankly, it has been old for a very long time. This goes for all of us including the Republicans who back your duff. All this is “public corruption,” do something, anything or you will be a one termer just like Berry.
Berry will need to be a man and give the orders to clear the Fifth Floor. Berry needs a lifeline from someone out there who is known for their credibility, boldness, a stand-up kind of guy, who has dignity and honesty to lead APD. The new leader will need flexibility to hire, fire, and promote as he deems appropriate. Repairs will take many years.

I hope Mayor Berry, also looks at the AFD's DC's. The HR DC should be in jail. I feel for Judge Murdoch. It is very difficult to have a love life in this world of perfect bodies. Chief Austin Powers Schultz, will soon have his name on the wall of shame. It will be next to Ken Schultz, and Manny Aragon. Just go you POS! P.S. take scary Kari, shit for brains with you.
This spells the end, and in no way does it allow for any more political appointments for either Darren White or Ray Schultz. Sorry you had you fun boys.(20 years worth) You both are disgrace as public servants.
Judge Murdoch, It is unfortunate that you have been one of many victims by the Albuquerque Police Department. I hope that you and your reputation can take down the Corrupted Beast (APD) and gain everything that is entitled to you by the law. APD continues to abuse the public in their attempts to smoke screen their own BULLSHIT! I think that APD needs to be replaced from ALL Sworn Supervisor ranks and start from scratch. This path of destruction is far from over and I commend you EYE for your efforts well done!
If you are both nowe finished, you may leave the table, you are excused. Go feed from the trough in another state. You and Darren have fleeced the taxpayers here long enough.
Oh, and while we're at it Darren, this Tru Touch thing is not over. You owe the taxpayers for that one and the kickbacks that you received as well.
You're a thief and Governor Martinez ought to have Gary King throw the book at you.
Don't come back looking for another hand out. You and Schultz should just leave New Mexico, or stay and possibly serve the next 20 years at the state pen.
What's up with the extreme makeover?
Please don't get the Trish( swollen lips) Hoffman package.
Amazing how fast they wanted to hang this judge out to dry, but we still haven't heard anything about the IRO investigation about Darren. Guess Deaton's been busy at lunch with Ray. At least, that's what's been posted. Disgusting!!!
Eye - REALLY! Do you always have to threaten not to back a Republican unless that do something. Is this really a Republican site. Too bad all the people you talk about are Republican. If the Gov cared about what you have to say, she wouldn't have appointed REPUBLICAN Darren White to the Judicial Standards Commission. Is it so hard for you to comprehend they don't care about public workers (middleclass) that's a no brainer. I'm basing my opinion on what I've read on this site. You are all wannabe's and they could care less about you. In their eyes you are no better than an illegal alien. Sorry to burst your bubble! Let's see if this gets posted or will you practice censorship too!
Sadly It is us the people that lose the most from all this. Granted we will be able to clean out some of the crap and corruption, but at the price of a honest and fair judge.
I am not sure it is worth it , but the damage is done.
To the rank and file of A.P.D., stand strong , be proud , remember who you are and what that badge means. Keep doing what you do. Keep our City safe. God bless you. Stay safe.
Doug West,the commander who got caught with who on the fifth floor by his wife ? Are you telling me he is casting the first stone !!!!!!! Time for everyone to post what they know about West, Fiest, and the rest of these clowns. Lets clean this mess up.
I disagree completely with the Eye that Murdoch will walk on all charges and sue the City for money and win. First, the search and seizure was not illegal. The APD Officers were told that a video existed of a Judge paying to have sex with a Prostitute. That would be abhorrent for any APD Officer to ignore! Given the fact that Judge Murdoch listened to cases of a Lorenzo Montoya birthdate 1967 and though that Lorenzo Montoya might not have been the same Lorenzo Montoya that APD lists as a possible suspect for killing and dumping 11 prostitutes, then "YES" APD does have merit in the decision to find and locate that video! It is possible for a Judge to hear a case, know the facts of the case and then dump bodies near where Lorenzo Montoya lived as a frame up.
Police interviewed the Prostitute and her pimp and watched the sex video. Police determined that Murdoch ignored the "No" from the Prostitute and did what he wanted to the Prostitute's body. Yes, the Prostitute admits to being a Prostitute, but maybe she taped the video with the Judge out of concern for her future safety. Murdoch isn't admitting to past acts with Prostitutes. Ok, lots of people fill sorry for Murdoch because of his physical challenge, but his role in the Judicial system is crucial enough to have warranted a search and seizure. Not only that, but APD viewed the tape and had an impression that the prosititue was raped. It is not only possible for a prostitute to get raped, but also get killed by a man.
Based on the evidence, I would say that the search and seizure was not only neccessary to protect the safety and welfare of the public, but also the judicial system!
Response to "Eye - Really"
Hate to burst you bubble. APD administration, AFD administration, City Hall, the state's biggest blogger's, the Govenor's office, the main stream press and lawyer's all over town read the eye everyday. The eye causes havoc in the ivory towers of injustice in Albuquerque! Why do you think they tried everything they could to shut it down? Did you happen to notice that the eye was 2 steps ahead of the entire Darren White cover story collapse? That's because we the members of APD and AFD know what happens in this town and the eye has given us a format to make the truth public knowledge. And, the TRUTH is what currupt public officials fear.
Keep an 'eye' on TJ. he's now in charge of the dirt. Don't worry about what his job title is, that ain't gettin done whatever that is.
His mission now (and we taxpayers fund this) is to keep moving the insurance policies around so nobody finds them.
pOST AT 8:26 YOU MUST BE COMMAND STAFF. ARE YOU SERIOUS AND HAVE NOT READ EVERYWHERE ABOUT THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN YOUR OWN HOME. THAT TAPE WILL BE SUPRESSED FASTER THAN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PULL UP THE EYE WEBSITE. ONLY ONE PERSON CAN GET THAT TAPE ADMITTED ANYWAY.
Beth Paiz. Please do the right thing and tell the truth to the IRO tomorrow. It's the last thing Deaton wants to hear but you have a duty to THE PUBLIC, not to Ray and Darren.
Speaking of which, White was hanging out on the 11th floor on Friday. If he resigned why is he still hanging around the Mayor's Office? Wants to make sure the IRO report goes according to plan???
So does that mean if you murder your wife in your own home and the APD police help you cover it up, you have the right to privacy because it happened in your own home. Wow I never realized how upside down justice is. Sounds like we are becoming a 3rd world country. I don't agree with the whole prostitute/tape extortion plan and APD's attempt to throw him under the bus to take the heat of Darren, but really soliciting a hooker. That doesn't sound too honorable to me, only because it's illegal. I absolutely feel this judge was SET UP! Do I have as much respect for him - NO! He's a hypocrite!
It's not about Democrat or Republican, it's about right and wrong. If a republican is doing it, then so be it! (This is to one of the above posters).
It is so funny to see TJ, Peaches, Darren and like company post their comments on here. So obvious and nobody buys your bullshit.
As far as TJ moving insurance policies around...the first place anyone needs to look is Taco Bell....I'm sure he's got all of the stuff there, where he can keep it nice and safe with his gorditas! HA!
btw, love the new lady gaga look for Kari...it's a HUGE improvement!
Ref: So does that mean...Friend, you're missing the bigger picture. This whore went back for her $200 run with the plan to commit extortion. She is not the victim; SHE is a CRIMINAL. She is involved in a criminal enterprise (Prostitution/Extortion). This was staged by her and her pimp. There was an "exchange" of money for "services" rendered. You're stuck at the wrong point. She could have left at any point; she voluntarily went there. Murdoch could not have run after her. Her boyfriend (pimp) was outside waiting for his cut of the money and the tape. This was all "role playing" and she was paid for her participation in the “role.” When she threaten to extort Murdoch and he told her he would go to the police, she and her pimp started selling the “sex video.” APD and the DA’s office screwed this up. Now it’s time to pay the piper…
At 4’1’, 135 lbs, on two crutches, crippled from the waist down, she was there participation voluntarily and paid for her services with the thug pimp waiting outside---There was no rape involved here…You see the bigger picture now?
The real "rape" is what Schultz has done to the department, the city and taxpayers. Attempting to rape Murdoch is just the latest in a long sordid pattern of corrupt behavior by Schultz.
Wonder if his Redflex pals will visit him when he's in prison.
I get the big picture! However, you could never get a prostitute or pimp to entrap someone if they were not willing to break the law. I agree he will probably get off, but he has still lost my respect. And NO, I'm not on the side of the prostitute and pimp, but it amazes me how a lot of these "honorable cops" "Chiefs", "Public Safety Director's", "Mayor's", "Governors" are so easily pulled into illegal activity and corruption. Does a judge hiring a hooker (which is illegal) just a bit disconcerting to any of you? BTW I have a college education and make a lot more than most of you cops, so don't act so high and mighty with your do you get the picture talk.
TO the poster who wrote that the eye has it wrong. REALLY? The whore was afraid? If she was so afraid why didn't SHE GO TO THE POLICE! THat is usually what people do when they are scared, they dont return over and over and over and then sell the proof. IF someone thinks there is a video of a criminal act they can get a WARRANT! why did they rush to get an arrest of the Judge? Now they are "thinking" of pursuing other charges, why wouldnt they do a full investigation, take the case to a grand jury?
You know why the department rushed to the Internal Investigation, because nothing from that investigation can be told to the public. Deaton will say that Darren did nothing wrong, despite what is told to him and there is nothing that the citizens can do to see what really happened, as the file is confidential.
Now remember Trish during your interview tomorrow credibility is everything, if they read you Garrity keep in mind if you lie you could be fired for it!! That means be truthful what you said on the phone to Officer Al Walck,,there will be phone records and they may have been taped! Remember "Im a sergeant and im ordering you to change that report" and "if you dont do what Im ordering you, I will write you up for insubordination"!! Keep in mind its so important not to lie because if you get fired for lying you are still a Defendant in a Fratinization lawsuit for having sex with a married LT newly promoted in SID while he was your suporvisor in IA,,,you dont want to lose that lawsuit as well for the city, but, thats not the only married husband you had sex with is it?? Hint ES-TB just to name a few! Us wives are sitting around the pool drinking a toast to you and Karma as we type!! TSK TSK
Also remember you may be drug tested and good thing EX-Lax is not a banned substance but Vicodine is I'd go easy tonight! One of your ex-girlfriends just made a funny!! She said maybe on your last procedure you should have had some of that Ego sucked out of your body not jus the Fat! Lastly have your parents get you a good attorney because ordering someone to change a Police report amounts to a felony as well as intimidation of a witness does! I hope St Pius doesnt find out about this its not a good example for the volleyball girls team
Nothing condescending intended friend. I was only trying to hit my point hard. I agree with your last post completely; they are all trash and Murdoch was wrong for purchasing the “services” of a prostitute.
12:59 - Thanks for your courteous response. I apologize for being so defensive. I am just so disgusted with what is going on in this city, state and country. No one seems to have any morals, values or integrity. Honestly, I agree it was extortion and all a big set-up. Amazing how fast Schultz can respond to this, but where is the report on Darren. I say, if Deaton doesn't provide an accurate account we all show up at the next city council meeting and demand an independent investigation. Better yet, why investigate at all. He removed a possible DUI suspect from the scene of an accident. I think that's a no brainer. Ben Kirby comes to mind.
Geraldine Rivera swore in RJ Berry on December 1, 2009.
Hiring at APD is questionable. Take the recent promotion of the clerical staff memeber in payroll to supervisor. She is not qualified. Seems those that liked her sat on the interview team. The likes of her all to obvious boss and her boyfriend's friend. Why did she order a name plate for the "door" to the supervisor's office two months prior to being offered the job. Pre-selection at it's finest. Chief Schultz, review all applications yourself, then you decide if she is the most qualified.
So he purchased a prostitute. Boo hoo.
Who of you hasn't. Go to Mexico buy a hooker, go overseas,buy a hooker. Work DWI unit during Ray & Darren's tenure, just get one drunker, then F em.
The only thing he's guilty of is not getting better quality stuff and one that works on her own without a scumbag pimp.C'mon Pat, get the prime stuff next time, not chuck roast. Get one of those online imports from the Ukraine.
Or just do what Darren did.
Beth won't fess up. She will lie.
Her MO. Thee end.
Tapes are being made of all the IRO interviews. The people being interviewed have their own copies. If the IRO makes some white washed report that will only drag the mess out longer and keep it in the news. That would be great! If there is a BS report done by the IRO there be and out cry for an independent investigation and the Counsil will get one. Plus, I guarentee the tapes of the IRO's interviews will be leaked if the IRO's report is BS. Berry, Perry, Shultz all of you crooked thugs who are involved, the tapes are already lined up to be given to the press if your IRO report even skirts the truth. Try us! We have kicks your ass through out this entire Darren White cover up. We are multiple steps a head of you and we know everything a have HARD evidence. Both departments despise all of you and we run the city not you idiots. So, please keep leading with your chin and we will keep knocking your ass out.
There are rats all over the 4th and 11th floors. Were you aware that the AFD EMS report that channel 13 has came from down town not AFD? You entire gangs of rats are all positioning them selves to save their own asses. None of you are willing to go to jail for the other. You see us the rank and file are brothers and sisters and we are loyal to eachother something none of you have and to know it. We are going to destroy every single one of you...
Sweet dreams,
FMB
West I know you don't have any investigation experience but you can't charge 2 people with the same crime (Murdoch and the prosecute) unless you have another witness. Kinda police 101.
4:37 - Boo hoo - Hope you don't have children! I bet you are a conservative with christian values. Wouldn't surprise me!
7:57---Is there a higher standard than being a conservative with Christian values? If so, what standard is that?
None of us, including the government, should care what two consenting adults do behind closed doors.
I found the below article about how McGrath's Bar at the Hyatt was recently changed to a different name in May 2011. In June, Garcia fell from grace. In July both White and Murdoch fell from grace. Is the current events with White, Murdoch, Garcia a haunting reminder from the former Madame Lizzie McGrath? Or, is this a sign that a name change is a new era of exposing those engaged in illegal activities. (See below article)
"Forque rises as McGrath’s laid to rest
New Mexico Business Weekly - by Megan Kamerick, NMBW Senior Reporter
Date: Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 3:02pm MDT - Last Modified: Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 3:09pm MDT
"Albuquerque got a little taste of a New Orleans funeral on Tuesday when a horse-drawn carriage carried away a coffin bearing the sign from the former McGrath’s restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque Hyatt Regency Albuquerque Latest from festival Follow this company .
It was all part of the Hyatt’s renovation and re-branding of its street-level restaurant, which officially re-opens May 18. Daniel Kuperschmid, general manager of the hotel, said the elaborate memorial service was to honor the restaurant’s namesake, Lizzy McGrath, and ensure she didn’t haunt the premises out of revenge.
McGrath was a madam who ran a brothel at the site of the restaurant in the early 1900s, Kuperschmid said.
“There were always legends that she shows up and you can feel her presence, and there were all these stories that she would haunt us if we took down the sign,” he said.
So the staff and others dressed in 1920s-era garb, and a priest and a sous chef spoke on her behalf before the McGrath’s sign was lowered into a casket and placed in the carriage, accompanied by a bag piper..."
There's so much shit going on I can't keep it all straight. All I know is that this administration ( 3 ring circus) is imploding.
Berry, just keep doing what you do best; NOTHING !
Marty Chavez would be walking floor to floor with a fucking blow torch blasting all of the cock roaches the hell out of there.
You"re ALL over your heads in his. A freaking pack of incompetents you have hired Berry. Christ, no wonder Roosevelt had the presence of mind to get rid of that phony Joe Kennedy before he caused anymore damage. Take a page out of history and learn from it
The hit's just keep on coming. This Department needs an outside Chief with fresh eyes who is beholden to nobody. The culture of the APD needs to change - from top down.
Schultz must go.Dept of justice is our only hope of cleaning house.13 young men has been killed since jan of 2010. Lets not forget them. Apd Shoot to kill policy must go with Schultz
Can anyone advise why Sgt. D. Barela was demoted and now working NW dayshift as a regular officer? And what does Shaun Casaus have to do with it, as he was also reassigned. Cover up?
Barela did what a lot of other cops do and sends text messages of his body parts to girls. The problems is, maybe the girls dont want to see the pics and when he is told to stop, well it continues. All decisions we make. I heard Shaun was ok.
WHERE IS SCHULTZ AND FEIST? OH IT JUST CAME TO ME THAT THEY ARE IN GERMANY FOR A CONFERENCE WHERE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE WEST MESA MURDERS. HMMMMMMM, DONT THINK WE SHOULD BE SPEAKING ABOUT THEM UNTIL THE CASE IS ADJUDICATED. STILLY ME THO, I M JUST A PATROLMAN AND IT IS THE POWERFUL CHIEF AND HIS BOYS. DID THEY TAKE KATHY LEVY? YOU NEVER KNOW SHE MAY PICK UP "CONTEMPT OF COURT" POINTERS OR BETTER, HOW TO IGNORE THEM.
i GUESS IS JUST ABOUT 9000 COPS WHO FEEL THE DEPARTMENT IS IN A BIT OF A QUANDRY LOOKING FOR LEADERSHIP FOR LOW MORALE, MEDIA BREAHING DOWN OUR NECKS, ETC, ETC. AND WE ALL SHOULD BE IN GERMAN "GET MORE BEER."
HOW RIDICILOUS IS IT THAT OUR LEADER HAS LEFT THE COUNTY DURING THE DARREN WHITE INVESTIGATION. THAT SHOULD BE A CLEAR INDICATION TO ALL OF WHAT SHCULTZ THINKS ABOUT US AND HIMSELF. GUESS WE ALL COME SECONDS SINCE HE IS SO SELF-CENTERED. ANY LEVY SIGHTINGS OR IS SHE AS SEASONS? OH MY BAD ITS NOT FRIDAY YET.
What city in Germany is he in? Post it, and I bet we can easily find a German "citizen reporter" there, who is willing to get photos of him knocking back a beer, or going on a stroll with Levy, etc.
Real nice of Ray to leave Paiz behind to deal with HIS latest mess. Classy...
FMB website says they have started the process for a recall of Mayor Berry!!!!
12:00 poster - I really don't care what the judge thinks. Just because he's handicap doesn't mean he's above the law. Just like Darren is (was) the PSD doesn't mean he's above the law. Isn't that what you are all ranting and raving about? If you are jealous of my education go get one!
