<p>After allegations popped up that Deborah Madden, a 60-year-old lab technician for the SFPD, stole and used cocaine evidence she was supposed to analyze, Attorney General (and, most likely, the future Governor of California) Jerry Brown "announced that his office will provide a team of specialists to assist in a thorough independent audit of the laboratory."</p>

<p>"My office will assist San Francisco police to get to the bottom of these serious evidence-tampering allegations," <a href="http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/release.php?id=1872">Brown said in a statement</a>. "It's critical that we act immediately to get the San Francisco crime lab back in service and restore the public's trust in our criminal justice system." </p>

<p>San Francisco Police Chief George Gascon recommended, Brown's crime lab specialists to "assist San Francisco authorities in re-testing of evidence, improving internal controls and taking whatever steps are necessary to return the lab to full operation." This major crime lab snafu will result in the dismissal of over dozens of drug cases.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[SFPD to Confirm Perez's Evidence in Zodiac Case?]]></title><description><![CDATA[We all laughed at Deborah Perez.

<p>We all laughed at Deborah Perez. We all chuckled when she (and her <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/04/29/zodiac_killer_guy_ward_hendrickson.php#comment-1648656">batshit insane lawyers</a>) held a press conference at the <em>SF Chronicle</em> building to announce, among other things, that Perez helped write the Zodiac Killer's letters, stitch his masks, and go with him on his murder sojourns. We chortled when she said that her father, <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/04/29/zodiac_killer_guy_ward_hendrickson.php">Guy Ward Hendrickson</a>, was the famous killer. We were all, 'duuuude, what?' when claims came out that Perez <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/06/15/zodiac_killer.php#comment-1955921">might have thought</a> at one time that she was <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/05/01/zodiack_killers_daughter_deborah_pe.php">JFK's biological daughter</a>. </p>

<p>Well, Perez may have the last laugh. Although we can't find it online, both KRON4 and ABC7 reported this morning that the SFPD, who are <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/06/15/zodiac_killer.php">questioning</a> the Zodiac Killer's alleged daughter this morning, will reveal that Perez's forensic and DNA evidence matches the evidence they have on '70s serial killer. </p>

<p>Stay tuned for further updates. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tiger Attack Update: Tiger Taunted, Says Report]]></title><description><![CDATA[According to police reports Paul Dhaliwal admitted to "<a href="http://cbs5.com/local/tiger.attack.affadavit.2.632723.html">standing atop a railing of the big cat enclosure and yelling and waving at t...]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2008/01/18/tiger_attack_up_6/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5c2422aa44ad066cdcf1eab6</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[blood]]></category><category><![CDATA[carlos sousa]]></category><category><![CDATA[Carlos Sousa Jr]]></category><category><![CDATA[Christmas]]></category><category><![CDATA[Christmas Day]]></category><category><![CDATA[evidence]]></category><category><![CDATA[Grey Goose]]></category><category><![CDATA[hearings]]></category><category><![CDATA[Jr]]></category><category><![CDATA[Kulbir Dhaliwal]]></category><category><![CDATA[Mary Jane]]></category><category><![CDATA[Paul Dhaliwal]]></category><category><![CDATA[sf]]></category><category><![CDATA[sf zoo]]></category><category><![CDATA[sfzoo]]></category><category><![CDATA[tatiana]]></category><category><![CDATA[tiger]]></category><category><![CDATA[tiger attack]]></category><category><![CDATA[tigerattack]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brock Keeling]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jan 2008 10:13:27 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2009/04/entry143018_thumb-thumb-640xauto-190247.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2009/04/entry143018_thumb-thumb-640xauto-190247.jpg" alt="Tiger Attack Update: Tiger Taunted, Says Report"><p>According to police reports Paul Dhaliwal admitted to "<a href="http://cbs5.com/local/tiger.attack.affadavit.2.632723.html">standing atop a railing of the big cat enclosure and yelling and waving at the animal that would later maul them,</a>" killing Carlos Sousa Jr. on Christmas Day at the SF Zoo. </p>

<p>The trio, it seems, were also hopped up on mary jane and expensive vodka. Toxicology reports turned up numbers indicating that Paul was especially wasted during the attack. His blood alcohol level was 0.16 percent after Tatiana's reign of terror, "<a href="http://cbs5.com/local/tiger.attack.affadavit.2.632723.html">twice the legal threshold for drunkenness.</a>" ("Threshold for drunkenness." Heh.) Kulbir Dhaliwal's blood alcohol level came out to 0.04 percent, and lightweight Sousa's was at 0.02 percent. <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2008/01/18/MNEIUH4B9.DTL">According to the Gate</a>:</p>

<blockquote>Police said they had recovered messages and images but apparently nothing incriminating in connection with the tiger attack. Investigators seized a small amount of marijuana as well as a partially filled bottle of Grey Goose vodka from the car, according to the inventory that police submitted from the search.

<p>They also found a kit commonly used to defeat drug testing, which included a vial of unisex synthetic urine, police said. Paul Dhaliwal was on probation stemming from a drunken driving incident that occurred before the attack.</p>

It seems that said proof is in the form of a footprint and blood found inside the tiger enclosure at the SF Zoo. According to <a href="http://cbs5.com/local/zoo.tiger.evidence.2.631882.html">the kids down at KCBS</a>: </p>

<blockquote>...a significant amount of blood was found on an exhibit sign inside the tiger enclosure, a foot and a half from the public railing. The blood on the sign indicates someone may have climbed the railing and was attacked while standing in the planted area between the moat and the railing.

<p>The source also said a footprint found on top of the three-foot high railing was located on a portion of the railing across from the sign.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Pro-Tatiana activist and SF Zoo spokesperson Sam Singer also confirmed that blood was found on foliage inside the tiger enclosure. But? How it got thee or whose veins the blood ran through prior to spattering remains unanswered. Khulbir and Paul Dhaliwal's team of attorney deny that the boys were inside the enclosure during the now infamous <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/01/08/tiger_attack_up_4.php">Christmas Day big-cat attack that killed their friend, Carlos Sousa Jr</a>.</p>

<p>Footprints? Blood? Rapscallions? We really need <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Fletcher">Jessica Fletcher</a> on this case.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
