Craigslist wins discrimination lawsuit
By admin | March 16, 2008
After several years of litigation, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on March 14, 2008 in favor of Craigs list over a discrimination lawsuit brought by Chicago Lawyers.
The suit, filed back in 2006, was brought because the plaintiffs lawyers claimed it violated the Fair Housing Act of 1968 by publishing discriminatory advertisements. Craigslist has become a powerhouse on the internet with more than 30 million people a month who post offers to buy, sell or rent goods and housing. Craigslist permits anonymous users to post free ads, which are unedited, unscreened and of unlimited length.
The ads the plaintiffs said it spotted on Craigslist contained language like “African-Americans and Arabians tend to clash with me” and “No kids allowed.” Other ads they claimed gave requirements like “single occupancy only” or “no minorities.”
The Federal Court of appeals ruled that Craigslist is not the publisher of the ads, as a newspaper would be and therefore did not come under the U.S. Fair Housing Act.

Blogging Leads to Criminal Charges
By admin | March 9, 2008
Kazuyoshi was wanted for an alleged 1981 murder of his wife in Los Angeles, California. He has since been living in Japan and Japan refused to extradite him to the United States because he was already prosecuted their for the same crime. However, a personal blog written by the defendant which was read by Los Angeles Police, led to Mr. Miura’s arrest in Saipan. He is 60 years old.
Ironically, on Mr. Miura’s website, he promotes himself as a human-rights advocate who helps those falsely accused of crimes.
According to his blog, he mentioned international travel plans, including a possible trip to Saipan, a U.S. territory and popular tourist destination north of Guam. Former LAPD Detective Jimmy Sakoda allerted LAPD who in turn alerted Immigration and Customs officials in Saipan to be on the lookout.
They were unable to arrest him during his arrival, but immigration agents on the island arrested Miura, last Friday when he attempted to leave for Japan.
Miura, who has repeatedly denied involvement in his wife’s murder, is awaiting extradition to Los Angeles. Miura has reportedly retained high profile lawyer Mark Geragos. Geragos previously represented Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson, and Winona Ryder.
In Japan this case is big news, the equivalent coverage of the O.J. Simpson Trial. In this case there is a Japanese version of the O.J. Simpson case. In this case, there are allegations of a hit man, a conspiracy with a former adult actress and a $650,000 life insurance policy he reportedly purchased.
The moral of the story? Don’t write a blog about where you are going to if the police are after you.
