No GHB was ever found at his residence, nor did any show up in any blood tests of the 3 accusers. The only reference of GHB was in the home movies he made. GHB wasn't a controlled substance at that time either, it was primarily an uncontrolled recreational drug at that time. There was no GHB found at the motel room in Mexico either, contrary to what Tonya says.
No actual physical harm was inflicted on any of the three accusers, and none knew there was even a crime committed until it was explained to them by the authorities.
While certainly no saint, I find it odd that he received far more prison time than even a cold blooded killer gets. In reality, the many sentences (84) applied for 3 incidents, means never a chance for parole or time served for good behaviour. Why does no one seem to find this so unusual, and not question that there may be other agendas involved? Maybe greed?
Also, he is not heir to the Max Factor fortune as mentioned in every reference of him. He received an inheritance from his grandmother's death and annual trust fund payments of far less than an exhorbitant amount.
According to his website, www.andrewluster.net he was advised by one of his attorneys to flee. The lawyer even provided someone to help in his flee to Mexico in exchange for the beach cottage. The lawyer did indeed end up with the beach cottage, so there is a strong possibility of truth to his statement.
Re: Andrew Luster - Habeas Corpus « Result #2 on Mar 19, 2010, 4:59pm »
The links go to a law firm, so no, it is being handled by them I would surmise. The documents are an involved read, but seem to untangle a very convoluted series of events. Interesting stuff for those who care enough about the truth to actually look.
I am just starting reading through it all, and some of it is slow-go but it's very comprehensive. Hope it works out for him. He's been in jail long enough, too long.
Harsh sentence is an understatement. It is unprecedented in it's severity. None of the 3 "victims" suffered even a scratch, yet Andrew's sentence is equivalent to LIFE without parole. Murderers commonly get much lessor sentences.
Does this not bring a question into anyone else's mind that there might be "other agendas"? These girls were coached for testimony, and 2 out of 3 were not even aware any "crime" had been commited, until explained by law enforcement. Now they are emotionally scarred for life? Give me a break.
I have had far worse happen to me at the hands of others, and I am no worse for the wear. No one went to prison over it either. IMO, Luster has served more than adequate time and punishment for any perceived wrongdoings, and should be able to start life new.
Does anyone really think that he would have any inclination to repeat any of what they accuse him of? Why do they call it Dept Of Rehabilitation or Dept of Corrections, if there is no concept that anyone can ever be rehabilitated or corrected. Is that concept an admission that their own system is so flawed that they cannot do what their label attributes to them?
So, here it is, the end of 2009. No changes yet. My opinion remains the same. Whatever Luster did, that he is being punished for, is history. People who have such negative opinions of him, have had their opinions molded by the press and bandwagon agendas.
Obviously he is no saint, who is? He has now served as much time as many who have murdered and were released.
All of the public opinion that railed against him, should now start asking why he is still there. With no physical harm ever inflicted on anyone, and dubious as to the emotional injuries, why 124 years? What logical person could possibly think that's justice? That's vindication, revenge, and stinks of sideways agenda.
People with any sense of fairness and justice should start speaking up. If not, then we can kiss true fairness in the legal system goodbye
Re: Andrew should be free « Result #6 on Dec 13, 2009, 7:04pm »
None of the 3 "victims" suffered even a scratch nor any sort of physical pain. None were aware that a crime was committed against them until explained by authorities. If Luster had not come from wealth, this wouldn't have even been a case.
The loudest (abrasive?) of the three lived with him for 6 months after the incident she called rape. Do victims of rape move in and pose for soft porn vids? Borrow money, get mad when asked to pay it back? Can no one see "vindictive" instead of "victim"?
The 1st "accuser - victim" made love with a guy in the back seat of Luster's car on the way to his house, then with Luster (consensual - wide awake) at his house, then again in the morning (consensual - wide awake), but called the time in-between rape.
All had consensual sex with him and granted, sex with someone asleep is low, it is not 124 years on 84 charges.
So, if a guy is making love to a woman and she passes out in the middle of sex, does he automatically become a candidate for 124 years in prison? This is precedence of the worst possible type and can be used against anyone in the future.
I agree islandtraveler, he was kicked to the curb for life, for coming from a family of means. The lesson here is "don't have money" or you're fair game for not only gold diggers, but the legal system as well.
Whatever punishment is expected, has been paid in full. It's high time this case is closely looked at by people who care to really look and can do something about it. It's time to forgive, forget and allow this man a 2nd chance.
As far as "Dawg", he was involved in the murder of 2 humans, served a few years and walked out free. How can anyone say his crime was worse, or that he served his time and deserved to be free. People died! Lusters 3 "victims" suffered emotional distress, because there seems to be big bucks in suffering distress. It's all a load of BS.
Will Andrew EVER be set free? « Result #7 on May 28, 2009, 11:44pm »
I keep waiting for the day to come when someone will reconsider Andrew's case and set the man free. He has kids and should have a future. Is he still in the same prison and does he ever use the computer? I STILL think it is absurd that Miss Tonya (or whatever her name is) is walking around California with her new husband, with whom she cheated on Andrew, and is doing as she pleases.... and Andrew sits in prison for the rest of his life. Tonya, I KNOW you still read this board and I know that you still have feelings for Andrew. You are just angry with him for not marrying you which I believe is the core of the reason you wanted him imprisoned forever. Sure, I think you have a right to be upset about the drugs and tapes but I think you are distorting your true anger about it when your REAL anger revolves around being rejected by him. As a woman myself, I can see straight through you; I only wish the Judge had (unfortunately it was obvious that the Judge was also jealous of Andrew and set out to put him in his place). Andrew doesn't deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison and you know that. I am a southern woman who was raised in a family with very high social, educational and moral standards, and if I can understand that Andrew doesn't deserve to rot in prison, I don't see why any other person can't. I realize that Andrew did something very wrong but haven't we all done bad things in our lives? You are a very cruel human being for putting the man away FOREVER. But you don't care, as long as he can't be with another woman,. What a pity you are.
The guy who allegedly fired a gun at "Dog" Chapman last month is officially off the hook for that incident -- because officials claim they can't prove the suspect was ever packin' heat in the first place.
The El Paso County Assistant DA in Colorado has dropped the attempted murder charge against Hoang Nguyen, claiming they received conflicting statements from Dog, his cohort Bobby Brown and Dog's son Leland about the shooting -- and that there was no bullet hole, bullet or shell casing found at the scene.
Prosecutors also claim Dog never forked over footage of the incident -- which was allegedly shot by his "Bounty Hunter" crew -- even though officials say they made several requests for it.
Chapman released this statement following the decision: "It's my job to find 'em and fix 'em, not put more charges on a fugitive. That's not my style. Nguyen apologized to me when I captured him, and I'm cool with that."
"Dog" Chapman was chasing one badass perp last night in Colorado -- so badass, in fact, that the guy was still able to escape Dog's grip after getting into a bad car accident.
Cops say just before midnight last night, Dog was tailing a guy who was wanted for being a no-show for a felony narcotics violation. According to KKTV, the dude's car suddenly crashed, rolling over in the process.
Not to be discouraged, cops say the perp jumped out of the wreckage and took off on foot -- and got away.
Re: Andrew should be free « Result #9 on May 5, 2009, 4:08pm »
I once met Andrew while living in Los Angeles and was taken by him, mostly because we share a commonality; we are both trust fund babies who grew up "spoiled." I was with my boyfriend at the time so our exchange didn't go far but I wanted to talk to him because I was curious to know if he had experienced the same issues that I had, just trying to be "normal." It is amazing how differently people see a trust fund baby who seemingly has it all. And some of us end up paying a big price because of it- Andrew sure did. Andrew was a nice guy and really no different from most; he simply had more money and an envied life. I can speak from my own experience and say that being a "trust fund baby" isn't socially easy. People are jealous and look for reasons NOT to like you, no matter how nice you are, or how well you treat them. And it doesn't stop with social circles... it also exists within the legal arena. Police officers are often just sitting on the sideline waiting to take the "big man" down because of their own insecurities, and people like "Tonya" who I didn't even find to be physically attractive, tend to cling onto guys like Andrew but then become monsters if it doesn't land them a nice secure marriage. If Andrew had wanted to marry Tonya, she wouldn't have acted in the manner that she did but when the DA's office came calling and played on Tonya's bitterness toward him (after he wanted to end it), the two of these worked together to end his life by putting him in prison. I wasn't there and don't know what Andrew did but he didn't take anyone's life and is serving the rest of his life in prison? Perhaps he deserved some sort of punishment but not FOREVER. This wasn't about any crime.... this was so much more about punishing the rich boy and making him pay. There are men who have taken peoples' lives who are released from prison after ten years! It's all crap and I think Tonya is a despicable human being (or animal). She knows EXACTLY why she was so insistent on putting him in prison and while I can understand her anger about the tapes, etc., I think the punishment is so much more about his rejecting her than anything else. As someone who comes from a long line of judges, I am baffled as to why someone in the California legal system hasn't been able to do something about the ridiculous sentence that was handed down to Andrew. But again, I think this is a classic case of envy and payback! Poor guy! If he had been a "nobody," he would have been released by now!
Andrew should be free « Result #10 on Apr 21, 2009, 4:51pm »
He is innocent and how in the world anyone would say otherwise is beyond me. I never knew him personally- however he did nothing wrong. He deserves to be out free -enjoying the holidays , summertime , and much more with his family and friends. I have sent Andrew a letter letting him know just what I thought of the movie about him- could tell there was very little truth in that movie- it seemed to all be based from those "victims"-who really were not victims at all.
