Michael Pinkus murder: See mug shots, get details about 3 men busted in his killing (26)

• "Danielle" Do you somehow believe because you have a DNA test proving paternity that his other children are somehow less significant?  You had a DNA test because Maliek was not the only possiable father of your daughter.  You seem to forget that he came to Seattle mourning the loss of his son (also with his DNA) and his other children in Colorado also have his DNA.  So your point is what?  For your brief time spent with Maliek you have somehow convinced yourself of some importance that only you believe in.  You are the epitomy of a DRAMA MAMA.  If there is no drama you try to cause it, if there is drama you are somewhere lurking in it. Do you stalk your son's fathers like this?. Once again you have used your daughter to jump in the middle of something no one in their right mind would want to be in the middle of and have used it as an opportunity to open your mouth about something you have no knowledge of.  You should really try speaking only when you have something significant to say.  You are in desperate need of professional help!  For your daughter by Maliek proven by DNA seek that help quickly!

• Wow this shit is DISGUSTING!!!! At the end of the day there is man who lost his life and his "FRIENDS" are on here blogging about who he dated, who knew him better than who and a bunch of irrelevent bullshit.  You have another 2 men who have been railroaded through a corrupt "IN JUSTICE" system and are being held accountable for a crime they did not commit. Another 2 people who have never been charged with this crime. And another man who is still awaiting trial  And another "person" no one is even looking for!. I have a suggestion for both sides.  The "friends" of Michael Pinkus could be spending their time and energy setting up a memorial fund for his children.  And those that know that 2 men have already been railroaded through a corrupt Arapahoe County "in justice" system, take action and contact your Governor, Senators,the  NAACP innocence project (www.innocenceproject.org), Amnestiy Internationa)(www.amnesty.org)l,subscribe to www.justicedenied.  become aware of the mass numbers of wrongful convictions and spread the word.  Contact the media and demand that  they report accurate accounts of the stories they have covered.  Make your voice heard Let ACDA"Carol Chamber"  know we will not stand by quiety  while she and her croonies constantly break the laws yet have no consequences. Pay attention people the next time it  could be your husband, son, brother, father 

• @Danielle You live in Seattle almost 2,000 miles away.  Pick up your phone and call the Detectives or the D.A's office and get your "FACTS".  Will you get the complete truth? Probably NOT. I have no idea why a Mother would want to tell her child about her biological child's Father's wrongdoings?!  Especially a biological Father she will never know.  If you were smart you'd quit assuming things, like the assumption that your daughter is Maliek's first daughter lol, and that you know anything about Maliek or this case.  Your big mistake was jumping in bed with a man you didn't really know all that well; and you haven't spoke to him in ages.  You have a big case of promiscuity of the mouth.  If you had any common sense you would know some things are better left unsaid; do your kid a favor and don't tell her about Maliek.  You are so OBVIOUSLY holding on to something that never was dear.  The only thing you are is one of the many mothers of his many children.  You should get over him, get a life, get a education (you clearly need one as evident by your grammar) and do right by your kids.

• @BlueRoseInThe Sky: For the record, Miss Thinks She Knows, BUT SHE DON"T, Ignorant, obviously is you, shown by your actions as far as these words you've posted. Now, desperate is what I'm NOT! Curious & Concerned, YES, very much so!!!! As the mother of his daughter, it is important that I get what imformation I can, because when my daughter gets older I need the facts to be able to tell her in a much positive way possible of the status of her Biological Father( her TWIN). That's only right. All this negativity you keep trying to spread on here is nonsense and makes you look like some chick wanting attention, but running her mouth about her own assumptions. Not facts!!!! So, before you try to tell me anything concerning me, get to know me 1st, and even then you'll just be assumings things & CLUELESS!!!! So, hun, you get a clue.

• OK Danielle first of all when you put your name and business on a public forum you are clearly airing your dirty laundry for all the world to see.  It would probably have been better if you sent a card to Pinkus's son and mother of his son.  Why did you pick a public forum to tell the world your business?  I do not believe Maliek had anything to do with the death of Pinkus.  There were two other White accomplices who were never charged; get a clue.  So commenting  on a case you know nothing about really makes you look ignorant and desperate.  Lastly God has nothing to do with the actions of human beings and it's "condolences" not "condolances" geez you spend so much time on the INTERNET why don't you get a proper education and do some serious research on how you can help Maliek?  Thank you.

• @ BlueRoseInTheSky: 1st of all posting any of my business about my past issues with Maliek don't matter, and it's not your business to even be speaking on, so grow up. I didn't turn this into a gossip log to bad mouth anyone on here! I simply just wanted to give my condolances to all that ARE affected by this!!!! ONLY GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH AND THE FACTS OF THIS MATTER, SO TO JUST ASSUME BECAUSE "PEOPLE" SAY SO, IS NOT OKAY!!!! I SURE DON'T WISH A LIFE PRISON SENTENCE ON ANYONE & ONLY WISH THE BEST FOR EVERYONE!!!! TO BELIEVE MALIEK DID THIS IS HARD FOR PEOPLE THAT REALLY KNOW HIM!!!! YES, BAD TERMS IS WHERE HIM & I LEFT OFF, BUT THAT WAS PAST LOVE ISSUES BETWEEN US. I STILL COULD NOT SEE HIM DOING SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE!!!! & ON THAT NOTE HE STAYS IN MY PRAYS. GOD BLESS...

• "Danielle" the only thing you are right about is that ALL of Maliek's children won't see him.  But really in the 4 years that your daughter has been on Earth she has never seen Maliek.  Your daughter has a "Father" that has been in her life for her entire life and she probably wouldn't have ever seen Maliek seeing as though you are in a different state and you two separated on seriously bad terms.  None of us really know what happened that unfateful night that Pinkus lost his life.  Pinkus's son has also lost a Father.  Nobody wins here Danielle and certainly not the dozens of children Maliek has nor Pinkus's son.  For some reason I suspect other crazy BabyMama's to be coming out from hiding.  To ALL Maliek's BabyMamma's please do yourself a favor and don't post anything else about Maliek you women seriously have to get a clue.

• Hello. I am the mother of Maliek's 1st born daughter; proven with a DNA test. Our daughter is 4 now, and due to careless actions she won't ever see him or know him. That's sad!!!!   My condolences go out to the family & friends of the victim, Micheal Pinkus! Just please remember one's pasts really doesn't matter after they die! In this matter there are SO MANY MORE than one victim, all the children who are left without their father's will continue to hurt OR LEFT UNKNOWING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN...

• KRISTY YOUR A JOKE....WERE YOU AT THE PRELIMINARY HEARING???? BECAUSE IF YOU WERE AND YOU BELIEVED EVERYTHING YOU HEARD IN THERE...THEN YOU WOULD ALSO BELIEVE THE RECORD THEY SAID MIKE HAD UMMM YOU KNOW THE CRIMINAL ONE THEY DISCUSSED...THEY ALSO SAID HE WAS A DRUG DEALER AND A PIMP SO SHUT THE HELL UP YOU WOULD'NT KNOW A FACT IF YA TRIPPED OVER IT.

• LETS MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE POSTING ON HERE...3 MEN WERE RESPONSIBLE.....UMMMM NOT!!!!! YOU MADE THIS COMMENT OFF A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE OBVIOUSLY.... BECAUSE YOU MADE IT 7 MONTHS AGO...SO HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH WAS UNLESS YOU TOO WERE INVOLVED....AND THAT IS THE TRUTH AND THOSE ARE THE FACTS...PERIOD....GET IT RIGHT!!!

• I too have NO CLUE what kind of a mother would wish a life in prison on her son's father (if it is her son's father) you are truly a sick woman.  The fact is that you LORI don't know who his father is because you tried to pull the oakey doak with the courts claiming not to know where "his father" was, when at the time you knew very well where he was.  You did'nt know who the daddy was which is why you avoided him taking a paternity test.  Let's be real.  Just out of courosity did you attend the trial before making your little debut on this  .....Let me answer that for you NO you did'nt...just like most that are commenting on this page did'nt.  You wish life in prison with no parole on a case you know NOTHING about, and people you know NOTHING about.  You my dear are a woman (and that is being extremely generous) scorned.  And you know what they say about scorned things . So you would'nt know or care that the DA has NOT charged a couple of "people" who just happened to be  white  who were self admittidly involved in this nor have you seen their names in any newspaper articles. HUMMMMM wonder why that would be. Why don't you take a look at project innocence  and then make an EDUCATED comment on our legal system and just how fair it is (about as fair as when you pulled the oakey doak of dodging a paternity test) before you start wishing life in prison on people...And let's not forget the BONUS that the DA gets for their conviction record. Still trying to figure that one out because LEGALLY that is against the law!!!!! I'm just sayin though...I'm also just a little curious as to where all these long time friends of Michael Pinkus's were during the trial...because they sure as hell were not in that courtroom.  But his ex-wife was, humm so while you all try to put her down, she was the one there with his mother..And she will be the one raising his son....so if you were truly FRIENDS of Micahel Pinkus's at the end of the day you would be attempting to support the mother of his son so that his son would know and be constantly reminded and surrounded by good and loving memories of his father.  Not a bunch of idiots who claim to be friends who feel the need to discuss who he was or was not dating and feel it's o.k. to put this little boy's mother down on a public forum.  By no means do I believe Mike Pinkus deserved to die.  But with that said make sure you have the right people who committed this crime.  Not  the one's THEY would like you to believe comitted this crime. And as far as you go Lori " I HOPE FOR THE RECORD YOU GET A LIFE AND I MEAN THAT!!!!!!!!  

• First of all would you be commenting on this case or even care if Maliek Bailey wasn't involved?  Come on get off your trip. People die everyday and you certainly don't comment on each and every death that affects many lives in Colorado.  Yes it was a tragedy but had Mike Pinkus not been selling dope perhaps he wouldn't have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.  I am not trying to take away from the sadness of a loss of life but you of all people have much nerve.  You should be concerned about the 3 or 4 kids you have by the 3 or 4 Fathers; anyone could be your son's Father it was never established that Maliek actually was the sperm donor.  You should also be more concerned about your 13 year old daughter who is pregnant who has two babies of her own.  You don't know the inside facts about what happened were you there?  Arapahoe County is one of the most racist counties to try a minority for any crime; do not under any circumstance be a minority and get caught up with anything in Arapahoe County whether you are the perpetrator or victim.  Lastly I will heed you a word of advice: think hard about who you want for your next BabyDaddy because you never know who will end up on the news keep your herpes legs closed and I mean that.

• I have read all of the comments made...I am the Aunt of Mike's son! My son still refers to him as Uncle and is old enough to read this, and be upset by it.  I am appalled at all of the comments with the exceptions of "Whiterose". It is my true belief if Mike was still here, all of you would be receiving a call from him asking you WTF!!? I'm pretty sure he would be pissed! Would you like these things being said ….if it was you, who died! You claim to be his "friends" and to" love "him, but what you have done is GOSSIP about his personal life. My question is, As "friends" of his and people who "loved" him, Do you think this is an appropriate forum to talk about his life? And using my nephews name, who is a minor, Who gave you permission to do that? The news papers and TV stations didn't do that, what makes you think that’s ok? All of you are heartless. Where are you people, are you sitting in the court room so the jurors can see Mike was a person with friends and family who loved him? NO! You are on this website gossiping!!! Food for thought!!! You can't take any of the comments back. There is a little boy who, almost a year later, is still grieving the loss of his "Daddy", there is another who Dad is going to jail. FAMILIES ARE EFFECTED BY WHAT YOU SAY HERE!!

• I am the "hags" sister...You don't have any right to say antyhing about my sister!!!! She went through HELL because of people like you SHAME ON YOU!!! She is the mother of HIs son...you know shit about how any of us felt about Mike's MURDER OR WHAT HIS SON HAS TO FACE EVERYDAY....YOU ARE A REAL PIECE OF WORK.

• Kristy have you actually read your post and how truly ridiculious you sound.  You say in your post that since so much time has passed why is there so much hate,  then you make reference to error is human thats how we learn...then you say all these men should be hung from a tree and You know the perfect tree ( are you serious) then you go into the fact that he smoked pot...were you at the preliminary hearing? because if you were then let's be real that is not the only business he was involved in. And yes he had a record also.. Then you have the odacity to mention the women he loved...like it makes a difference that only you have been priviledged with such information...Really I have never seen such nonsense posted after such a tragedy..You call yourselves friends Wow that's truly sad that in the midst of such tragedy you feel the need to spotlight yourself 

• Let's hope none of you are wrongly accused of such a heinous crime.  I believe the trial is just starting but apparently all of you have already convicted him.  It is extremely disturbing to see all of the un informed comments on this page.  I too am very sorry for the loss of this man, and my sincere condolences go out to his family...  but a lynch mob is what you seem to be without even knowing the facts of the case.  It's shocking to see all of these comments about the victim.  Obviously you have completely lost sight of whats important. We don't need trials anymore Westword Bloggers have all the un informed answers..we can just make all of the idiots on here the judge jury and hangmen.Get your facts straight before you make all of these uneducated statements...What a bunch of gullable people you are to believe everything these idiots and the newspapers post.  Hell I have swamp land in the mountains- Who's buying?

• I was priviledged to know Mike for about 8 months. We dated off and on during that time. I was shocked when I came home from vacation to have the news on and see his picture come up as having been murdured. He had called me that particular Thursday (or maybe Friday) that he passed away asking for me to come over, but I could not. I knew he was dating others and that was our understanding. I had met someone else that I fell in love with and Mike understood that I could no longer see him. When all of this happend I was devastated that I might have been able to see him one last time. During our times together there was no one that he talked about more than his son. He love him very very much. He mentioned others now and then if anything just to vent. Above all, and in spite of what everyone else has to say about Mike, I am glad to have known a very kind hearted and intelligent man. So someone says - what about the pot? Well, I've never dated anyone that had anything to do with drugs until Mike. I'd like to think I am a pretty smart individual, but when I met Mike, I knew this was his thing and anytime I was with him he was respectful enough to not do it around me. That not being the point at all, the real point was that a human being was stripped of his life and for what? Rest in peace Mike. I think of you often. Thanks for all the talks and...

• only Maura would say this about herself, even her friends would never say this period.  She is full of revenge and entitlement and she thinks it's ok to go after anyone.  She told one of her closest friends kids that their mother did not go to college because they "according to her"  deserved to know the truth. If her kids knew the truth about her they would freak out I am sure.       She will do anything she can to destroy other people but won't own any of her own behavior.  Nice or not, I am glad Mike was never arrested for dealing pot when he stayed in the same house as her daughters, with everything else she puts them through, that is not a memory they would need.   I have known her since 1984 and I can assure you that her behavior could have landed her in prison a million times, hearing that she stole from Mikes estate was nothing compared to what she has done.   She is all about pointing the finger and making herself seem so great.  She cut me out a long time ago and I am actually grateful.  She destroys lives with lies for her own selfish self promotion.   I had heard she was moving back east but I guess they don't want her either, who would?   People are posting because like me their are a ton of people she has screwed over and she leaves a bad taste in everyones mouth.   I saw her recently at the store and went the other way, you never know what she will do.     Dan

• Met mike for the first time at my wedding. I knew who he was before I was introduced. He was loud, confident, enthusiastic. If you had a name tag on you better believe he'd make sure you knew he noticed it. He thought out loud and no one would argue. A true Officer of the US Military. Many conversations I had with him as if he were my own father. I would have taken notes. You will be missed...Sir. From one branch to another...Semper Fi. See you on the other side. To his closest friends and family...to his Daughter and Son... I am sorry for your loss. May he watch over you.

• I would like 2 apoligize for all of your lose, I am the mother of Maliek Bailey's son, I've known Mailek for about 26 yrs, and this is NOT the man I knew back then the man @ 1 time I loved. When I saw what he did to that man my heart fell outta my chest. U all lost from what I hear was a great man so stop worrying about the women in his life it doesn't matter anymore. Remember what a wonderful man he was. So from the bottom of my heart I hope u all can heal, and move on. I hope for the record all 3 men (including my sons sperm donor) get life with no parole and I mean that

• WOW! your reference to Mike not being the smartest guy, ummm you are actually very uneducated, probably didn't go to college, or maybe even finish school by the way you respond to comments. Mike however did go to college, was a teacher, worked in New York in the stock exchange. You are about as smart and as wise as "cookie monster" from seseme street. Stop referencing people you didn't really know, and only what you think you might have possibly heard while you were stoned genius!

• Sir...you only knew as much of Mike as he wanted you to know and......that is about it! I knew Mike waaaaaaaaaaaay longer than you and can tell you that his family and closest friends do NOT appreciate you posting lies about a criminal background involving stealing that never took place. How dare you! Shame on you! Of course you wouldn't post your name because I might actually know who you are and so would Mikes family. Unless you have a document that proves what you are saying maybe you need to refrain from further comments that is hurtful to Mikes real friends and family.

• Were you at the prelimnary hearing last week sir? Guess not! All of them were involved including Basset! They all have extensive criminal records! This has nothing to do with their color......... the fact is that they murdered a man because they didnt want to pay for a bag of pot. There is a little boy out there who is fatherless because of their plan to murder mike and robb him. I pray that nothing like this ever happends to someone close to you.

• My name is Kristy. I have known both Mike and Suzie for years (and I do mean years). I just got done reading all of the comments that have been made, and can truly say that I am shocked. Why after so much time has past since Mikes murder is there so much hate? This really isn't what Mike would have wanted. I know this! Divorce is a horrible thing, we all know this. The thing that people need to remember is that we dont know what goes on behind closed doors. Mike knew this, and told me so. I went through a divorce with Mike's very best friend, and I will never forget my last coversation with him. He said that if I ever needed anything to give him a call. He said that not only was my ex his friend but that I was too, and that he meant what he said. "If you ever need anything, even just to talk, give me a call". These were his last words to me, and something that I carry with me. He really was a great man. Is there anyone out there that has never made a mistake? To error is human, that is after all how we learn. Yes, Mike smoked pot. I can name atleast 50 people I know who currently do. They are: business men and woman, teachers, doctors, nurses, construction workers, mothers, fathers............I could go on and on. This is not a perfect world and we are not perfect people. Don't judge, it just a fact! Mike was a well respected collector, he was known world wide "literally" He knew his stuff well I can tell you that. One of the very most intelligent people I have ever known. Maybe to a fault. Mike was great at analyzing the market and did it for many many years. He knew his stocks that is for sure! He could buy, sell and trade like you wouldn't believe. Yeah, Mike was a little rough around the edges but what do you expect from a man who was in the military, someone who was a true partriot, someone who was from the east coast and worked in New York. Come on! Mike was a mans man! Did he have a lot of woman? Yeah he did! Anyone who really knew Mike knew that he did. Suzie knew this from the get go too. The problem is that you cannot change a tigers stripes. The one thing that Mike and Suzie did right was to make their beautiful son. He is bright, smart, funny and alot like his Dad. I love that boy! We use to go with mike and his son to the museum. There are many sides of Mike that I do not think that any of you are aware. The only thing that I saw in the comments that were made that was truly accurate was that Mike would give you the shirt off his back, that he would feed you if you were hungry that he would give you a place to stay if you needed it. Your right he most certainly would have. I can say that I was fortunate to spend Mike's 50th Birthday with him and all of his "true" friends. Only people who were close to him and knew him well were invited. I know who they are. Anyone else only knew of Mike what he wanted you to know, and that is about it. He cried that night, it was almost like he knew that the end of his time was drawing near. I miss him dearly! Mike was a wild guy, I agree with that. But, he loved his son with all of his heart and made sure that both of his children would be well taken care of if anything should have happened to him, crazy, it did. I will say that the way that his estate has been handled sickens me to no end. Have you ever noticed that when someone dies everyone comes out of the woodworks, like termites! From Family, to Ex's, to people in the collecting world. People change when there is a LOT of money involved. Sad to say the least, but that is how it is. Mike made sure that his daughter was taken care of, and Cullen was suppose to be taken care of until everyone stuck their nose into what was to be "HIS" estate. What Mike wanted him to have will be gone by the time the battling is done. GOD only knows what that little boy will have left of what was once his Fathers passion. Shame on all of those that have taken that away from him. To be honest I only know of 3 woman that Mike truly loved, besides his daughter Heather and his Mother. So, if you think that Mike "loved you" well you may want to remember that he loved everyone but only gave his heart to 3 woman. Again, they have not been mentioned in this forum and probably wont, but they know who they are! I just wanted to give everyone a more in depth look into who Mike "really" was. He died a very horrible death that still haunts me to this day. Imagine someone you love being beaten and strangled to death. Imagine that being your father. Imaginge that being your Son. Imagine that being your Brother. Imagine that being your closest friend. I pray that these men are held accountable for what they have done. I say again, and not because I am a racist person, but because I am a believer it "real" justice that I would like to see "ALL" of these men hung from a tree! I have the perfect one picked out! I am sorry but I do not have faith in our legal system and neither did Mike.

• I will be back, on my way out but may I just say that Kittie (maura) showed us her true colors by mocking Susan's relationship with Mike. I continue to be disgusted by this person. Go after his family, class act.

• I cannot BELIEVE that you seriously think that I'm Maura! But, whatever. YOU have ALL lost sight of what REALLY, TRULY matters here: MICHAEL PINKUS was BRUTALLY murdered on October 15, 2010. Anything else posted here is just a bunch of nonsense. The fact that you're wasting SO MUCH energy bashing someone who NEVER did anything to you personally and of whom you don't know makes one think that you have way too much time on your hands. You say that Maura "robbed" Mike's estate. How exactly did she do that and what proof do you have? Or are you just repeating hearsay? BTW, has anyone asked Susan whether or not Mike was on speaking terms with her when he was killed? The answer is NO. PLEASE people...focus your energies in seeing that the scumbags who took the life of a son, father, friend and brother, are dealt with in the most severe way that our state will permit. Isn't that what you would want if something like this happened to a member of YOUR family?

• I am Susie, not the one that is in Johns post.

• My name is Don. If it's ok, I prefer to mention only my first name, people will know who I am.

• First I want to apologize because I don't know or ever met Micheal Pinkus. I feel sorry for those of you who lost a friend or family member in such a terrible way. But I do know "Maura" or who was sometimes refered to as the "Hag" on some of these comments. Mauara has written very nasty facebook and e-mails rants and raves accusing my wife and her ex-husband and her husbands girlfriend of writing all these comments and has made various threats to them. This is the first time that anyone of us has ever written on this blog. But "Maura" or whatever you prefer to call her needs to know in her phsychotic brain that we were not the ones responsible for the outpouring of feelings for her on these comments. So I would like to ask each and everyone if they would to post their real name or partial name and own up to your words about Maura or whatever your personal name for her may be. She is making life hell for her ex husband and his girlfriend (who is a wonderful person) and for her kids by her destructive accusations. My name is John Evans and I have no fear of Maura or the "hag" or whatever name you call her by, and you shouldn't either, but you should give the respect of using your name so the rest of the family and friends don't have to suffer her accusations and rants. I will post her face book tirade verbatim so you know why I am writing this and asking your help. Thank you, and again my heartfelt condolences to those of you who lost your friend and loved one. From Maura on Face book I am going to say this one time only...and I do not care if you block me...I am sick and tired of Gary and Suzie continueing to lie about me and spread rumors that are not true!!! Appararently you are best friends with the huge,disgusting beast so you can pass this along. I will no longerput up with all the crap that is being said about me!! I am divorced and in my brain I have been for years!! I do not care one bit about what Gary does or doesn't do, yet he continues to harass me with e-mails, etc... I have a series of e-mails over the course of 6 months from someone very close to the situation and I am planning on hiring a private detective to get to the bottom of this. They were stupid enough to attach pictures of Suzie in their e-mails, so it won't be hard to find the trail...and who would have pictures of Suzie... either her, Gary or one of her "friends"...I am a wonderful mother and have devoted my life to my girls...anyone that says anything differntly is crazy. Mike was an ex boyfriend and one of my best friends when he died. I don't need to explain our relationship tp anyone...I loved him and he loved me,period. Anyone who knew us,knew how much we meant to one another...anything else being said is simply lies!!! So he smoked pot, so what...I don't but you and Gary both do...not a day went by in my marriage that Gary wasn't stoned!! I hope you are not a part of this, but my guess is you probably are.....I am incredibly happy and healthy with my life. Suzie is sick and obsessed.....and apprarently is so jealous of me she cannot seem to mind her own business and out of my life!!! I want all of you to leave me alone....and leave my daughters out of all of the nonsense!! They are wonderful young women, and I had everything to do with the way they turned out!!! Just be aware that I will not allow any of this to go on....it's none of anyones' business how I choose to live my life, and I won't put up with slandering of me any longer. Of course this was also followed with 6 more hate filled ranting and raving e-mails to us. All I want is for "Maura" to know it wasn't us who has written any of these comments. That, and maybe get some proffessional help and medication. So if you are willing please let the blog comments know who you are and own your own feelings towards "Maura" or whatever you choose to call her. Hopefully then this blog and comments can get back to being about Micheal Pinkus and those who loved him and finding some justice for him from the trial. Please accept my my condolences and apology for having to post here.

• My child went to school with hers and she is the cruelest, most judging person I have ever known. We had to spend time with her and it was torture. When we heard about this poor guy, we were told they were dating when it happened, that's what she is telling people. I wish I could put my name on this but she is the type that has list of people who she thinks have "f'd" her and trust me, she goes after them. I feel sorry for her kids, her behavior around the kids is horrible, the stories would make you cringe. I actually think a forum like this is good for people like me who have wanted to speak up but are afraid to.

• actually, the damage you did to our friend matters and the fact that you behaved the way you did after matters too. You are a poser, his real friends knew what mattered to him, no matter what twisted interest you put on it, you robbed his estate and that shows exactly who you are.

• WOW! You're batting 1,000! No, its not Maura.... but someone who truly knew and cared about Mike. Everything that's been said in the past few days is a total waste of energy. As I said before, the ONLY thing that is important is seeing that the thugs who killed Mike are met with proper justice. Name calling and trashing other people reminds me of high school spats. PLEASE....let Mike rest in peace and PRAY that those who killed him will get what they deserve. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!!!!

• I have been asked to stop so I will stop. In an interest in protecting Mikes daughter Heather, I apologize. It's so obvious by the last post that Kittie is Maura and it's a waste of words on a person like that. I apologize to the people who encouraged me to stop, I let my anger and resentment take over. RIP my friend, I miss ya.

• @Dagnabit62: Bring it on baby! You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. If you truly knew and cared about Mike, the only thing that would be important is seeing that the thugs who killed him are me twith proper justice. Everything else is insignificant.

• They have a good Father and they are very close to him.

• I can't make any promises here. This has sparked a lot of people calling me with stories and I have to tell you, I wish I would have known the truth about my Father when I was a kid, it would have saved me a lot of anguish, a lot of therapy and some bad relationships. From what I hear, she does not behave like a mother, she behaves like a teenager, irresponsible and self centered and inappropriately dressed for her age. When I heard she had kids I could not believe it, God help those kids and I am with lady love, I hope they have a good Father.

• Well I hope they have a Father or they will certainly turn out like their Mother. Last post. Thank you for reminding us what matters and I mean that.

• I am not a friend of Maura's but what I do know is that she has two children who will not benefit from reading all these bad things about their Mother. Whatever you feel was done or not done to Mike, bashing Maura will not bring him back. I would encourage all of you to focus your energy on justice with the trial, not with his life or the choices he made. I know that after you lose someone you love, your anger towards what you consider injustice is elevated but speaking your truth is only going to hurt innocent people (her girls.) I am not defending her and I can validate your feelings, it's not the first time I have heard these things about her but there are two children involved and you know how people like to talk. Please stop.

• I forwarded all this to Susan (mikes sister) and encouraged her to share her truth. She knows exactly what happened as does Susie. I won't write Heather, she has been though enough.

• MIKE DID NOT GIVE MAURA THE SHIRT, SHE STOLE IT!

• And Kittle, why did you not deny that your "friend" stole from Mike after he died? And please don't try to deny that because there is a police report that I can pull. Who does that? Who thinks it's ok to make people who are dealing with a death to have to deal with someone poking their own selfish issues into a bad situation. I am done with this, Mike was a good man who made bad choices, the fact that he was supposedly "defended" by Kittie insults those of us who did care for Mike, we loved Mike, we just recognize that he made bad choices and she was CLEARLY ONE OF THEM. I knew Mike for years, she was a small small part of the big picture of his life, she tries to act like more but she was nothing and I am writing 1% of what he shared with me. If she continues to come back with lies, I will get others to write the truths and they are not pretty. She made Mike feel bad about himself, I was the friend who listened.

• You know what. I have remained silent through this because mostly I am afraid of retribution from her because she is somewhat still in my life. But here is the truth and I am going to speak it. She knew Mike for a whole two years so anyone claiming to have known them both for years is lying, knowing Maura, she wrote that herself. She is a bad person and she has had falling outs with every friend she has EVER had, including me. I let her back into my life because I was tired of hearing what she was saying about me. I have watched her lie and make things up about people to make herself look good and nearly destroy people with what she says about them. In my opinion she is ill. I don't know Mike and I think what happened to him was horrible but at least he had the sense to leave her like all other men do. She probably went after Linda his girlfriend, I know she has done that to anyone who dares to date someone she has been with. She is a self serving person who thinks she is so much better than anyone else. What I pray for is that she hears some of these words that people are saying she will take a good look in the mirror and ask herself if she wants to live the rest of her life with people saying that she is evil and to be careful around her. If she did not write that "kittie" post herself then I encourage you to be a good friend and be honest with her, she lives her life with revenge and cruelty and I don't believe for ONE SECOND that anyone would not agree with that. Anyone who really knows her thinks exactly what I am saying. Do her a favor and try to get her help instead of being co-dependent and making her worse off than she is. I am sorry, I do feel sorry for her but I can't listen to the lies anymore!!!!!

• you need to get your facts straight before you dog someone....

• I've known Mike AND Maura for a very long time. All who are nay sayers obviously haven't known them at all or you wouldn't be posting what you did. Mike was a very good man; kind hearted with a very good soul. He didn't deserve to die in the heinous manner that he did. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. If you needed a place to sleep or food in your belly, he'd make sure you had that as well. Get it through your head: MIKE WAS MURDERED BY THREE MEN who have no regard for life!!! THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT HERE! NOT who he dated. As for Maura....lay off! You don't know her either! She is a kind soul who'd do anything in her power to help people in need. She's a good friend to those who DO know her and is a friend for life. So...BACK OFF of your negative stuff about Mike and Maura!!! Keep in mind that the REAL issue here is seeing that three heartless men burn in hell for what they did. Bassett should be put into general population with the other two and "jail justice" will be served. MIKE WAS A GREAT FRIEND AND A WONDERFUL MAN!!!

• Her name was Maura and she caused all kinds of issues after the death like she stole clothes from him and Mikes sister had to get a restraining order or a Lawyer. Something is wrong with her, she was a real problem for Linda too. I felt bad for them, as if the death was not enough, they had that wacko with her own agenda.

• There should be a web page where you can post women like that and say "dont date this woman"! I was telling a friend the story about Mikes ex gf today and he said it would be great if there was a web page to warn guys about selfish mean women. What was her name?

• Who cares who Mike dated, they never lasted anyways. I don't want to make him into a saint but I did think he had good intentions, he like to fix things and people so maybe he was just trying to help women out, maybe he saw the good in people no matter what? I only know Mike from Chess club and I did not know his women but the focus has shifted off the fact that he was murdered and we should get back to that, a Father is dead and he leaves a grieving child behind.

• Mike had a way of picking up strays at least we know when he died that he had Linda, who is a kind compassionate woman. I never knew the other one but I heard stories too, a real piece of work I hear and very selfish. I miss Mike, he did not always make good decisions (women) but he was a good guy who always had a kind word for me.

• I didn't know Linda, it was the other one, the one that was getting divorced and thought she was too good for everyone, she was a gambler or something, she was the hag. Mike had some stores about her that kept us laughing, she was a bad seed. The one before her that was from lakewood, she was stupid too. I am glad he met a good girl, he needed that, so please no offence meant.

• I know Linda and she is a good lady, and what she went through at the end was so horrible that I really can't believe this is in reference to her but if it is, you are off base and wrong. So Mike got high and sold a little weed, if that is the worst they can say about him then he ran a good life. He was just trying to get by.

• I knew Mike and bought pot from him. He was not the smartest guy and he dated some real hags as of late but he was an ok dude. He had a criminal past but not that bad, I guess he stole from some guy that owed him money and got caught. Mike was good for a laugh, he did not deserve what he got, that's for sure. I don't see this as a color issue at all, I think he just pissed someone off or was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

• Some of what you say may be true, but you should get your facts straight before you put anything false on here. Above all this, the truth of the matter and the fact of the matter is that there was a killing. A human life was taken. Three men are responsible. White or Black? Who cares???? He was a human being. The three men who did it? They were what color? Ummm, they killed a man and that is the truth and those are the facts!! PERIOD! Unfortunately, our justice system doesn't always come through, but lets not lose focus over what really happened here.

• Michael Pinkus was no Angel he had past charges of robbery and he was a Pot drug dealer. Bassett was a pedophile and the other two were just accomplices. Westword get your facts straight. But yeah over sensationalize this story like you do every Black on White crime like Whites don't committ far more serious heinous crimes like killing their children and sleeping with their students which by the way in this country most White people get away with or get light sentences. And don't get me started on the pedophiles are White, usually, who are constantly released to yet re-offend umm Jaycee Duggard.

• Mike was a dear friend of mine. I hope and pray that all of these men are found guilty, guilty, guilty.......... I wish that things could be handled like they were in the west, an eye for an eye. I say let Mike's friends and family take care of them the way they should be taken care of. Forget a nice cozy prison cell with free food and activities. I have a few less comfortable ideas that wouldn't cost the tax payers a DIME!

• Dude, Basset looks like a total douche. Only douches have those retarded little tattoos by their eyes. What a douche. Shave your throat mullet, asshole!
