To Honour Those Who Served, We Must Do Better

Officials stop scheme to register dead voters as Democrats
Investigators in South Florida have uncovered an attempt to register dozens of dead people as Democratic voters, though no mail-in ballots were requested or cast under the falsified IDs.
Officials in Broward County, a Democratic stronghold and Florida’s second most populous county, uncovered the scheme over the summer.
Someone in Columbia, South Carolina, mailed 51 new voter applications — each bearing the same neat handwriting — to the Broward County elections office in July, officials said. The story was first reported Friday by the South Florida SunSentinel.
Broward County supervisor of elections officials flagged the registrations as suspicious and turned them over to the Broward state attorney’s office.
“We cannot comment on an ongoing, active criminal investigation,” state attorney’s office spokeswoman Paula McMahon told The Associated Press in an email.
But correspondence between the state attorney’s office and Broward Elections Supervisor Pete Antonacci shows that officials could not determine who mailed the registrations because there was no return address. The registration applications were received in 19 envelopes.
Thirty of the 51 were verified by the state attorney’s office as being deceased. The identities of the other 21 could not be verified by only date of birth and name, Assistant State Attorney Tim Donnelly said in a letter to Antonacci dated Oct. 22.
Five of the names were already on the voter rolls, but investigators said no absentee ballots had been requested. The deadline to request a mail-in ballot was Oct. 24.
The SunSentinel reported that at least three of the applications evaded detection and were added to the Broward voter rolls in July. Two of those people had died in June.
“This is an organized effort by someone who knew a little bit about Florida law but not a lot and had a scheme to either undermine the Florida registration system with fake voters or intended to vote 50 times,” Antonacci told the newspaper.
Elections officials said the applications were left blank in spaces for driver license and Social Security numbers. Voting under a false registration is more difficult because the voter would have to show identification before either voting or mailing in a ballot, according to Antonacci.
Antonacci told the newspaper that there is a lag time between when a voter dies and elections officials are notified, and the scammer appeared to take advantage of that.
“The system is based on the honor system, and the honor system is supposedly bolstered by the fact that if you lie on one of these applications, it’s a crime,” Antonacci said. “With determination, you can muscle your way in.”
In his letter, Donnelly said the most serious potential violation was criminal use of personal identification, which would carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison.
“We take any allegation of voter fraud very seriously because it affects our very democracy,” Broward State Attorney Mike Satz said. “Anyone who has information regarding any attempt to commit the crime of voter fraud should report it to the Broward Supervisor of Elections and the Broward State Attorney’s Office so it can be thoroughly investigated.”

The office of a former celebrity psychiatrist in Newburyport, Massachusetts was raided by federal agents, Thursday.
Drug Enforcement Administration officers executed a search warrant at the office of Keith Ablow, a prominent former psychiatrist whose license was suspended following allegations he sexually exploited patients.
DEA Special Agent Timothy Desmond said the search warrants were executed as part of an ongoing investigation but did not elaborate further.
Ablow, a nationally known author, last year settled several malpractice lawsuits that alleged that he engaged in sexual relationships with patients, inappropriately prescribed drugs, and committed "boundary violations” between 2011 and 2018.

Three women settle medical malpractice lawsuits against prominent psychiatrist Keith Ablow
Lawyers for Dr. Keith R. Ablow, a nationally known author and former Fox News contributor, and the three accusers recently reached out-of-court settlements, according to court filings.
The terms and settlement sums were not disclosed.
In their lawsuits, the women alleged they traveled from out of state to be treated by Ablow, 57, in Newburyport, where their relationships eventually turned sexual. While under Ablow’s care, all three said they received infusions of the anesthetic Ketamine to treat depression.
Two of the women alleged Ablow charged them for therapy during meetings where they engaged in sex acts.
During some sexual encounters, the women said Ablow beat them with a belt with a skull-shaped buckle and told one words to the effect of “I own you,” and “You are my slave.”
The same woman wrote in an affidavit that she had Ablow’s Facebook name tattooed on her inner forearm.
Massachusetts regulators barred him from practicing medicine last month after concluding he poses “an immediate and serious threat to public health.”
In May, a different medical malpractice case filed against Ablow in 2016 settled shortly before trial. Details of the agreement weren’t filed in court. In that case, a 55-year-old antiques dealer from Cape Cod accused Ablow of crossing clinical boundaries by e-mailing and texting her outside of therapy sessions, helping her open a store in Newburyport, prescribing medications for her family members, and suggesting she have an affair with help from the online dating service Ashley Madison. The company’s famous slogan is: “Life is short. Have an affair.” The lawsuit didn’t accuse Ablow of sexual misconduct. In court papers, Ablow’s lawyers said his treatment was within the standard of care and “is to be viewed in the context of the development of communicative technology” and that the patient’s ability to “reach, check in, and otherwise contact her psychiatrist was valuable.”

He has testified as a defense witness in the high-profile trials of Dr. Richard Sharpe, who was convicted of killing his wife in Wenham, and Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, the German national serving time for murder in California who pretended to be a member of the Rockefeller dynasty.

LOS ANGELES — A small, bespectacled German immigrant who invented a glamorous life for himself in the United States by posing as an heir to the fabled Rockefeller fortune was sentenced Thursday to 27 years to life in prison for a California cold-case murder.
Representing himself after firing his lawyers, Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, 52, asserted that he did not commit the mid-1980s murder of John Sohus in the wealthy city of San Marino and asked to read a voluminous motion he had submitted to the court. When Superior Court Judge George Lomeli refused the request, he withdrew the motion.
Gerhartsreiter — who fooled friends, lovers, and a wife during an extraordinary three-decade charade — entered the courtroom balancing in his arms a mountain of transcripts from his trial. He asked that he be given time served and probation. The judge rejected that.
The hearing was marked by an emotional statement from Sohus’s sister, who said some questions in the case will never be answered. She said that until his dying day, her father always asked, “Why John?”

Ellen Sohus told the judge: “You cannot give me back my brother. All I ask is that you hold Mr. Gerhartsreiter accountable.”
Gerhartsreiter, handcuffed and wearing a blue jail uniform, was calm and respectful as he addressed the judge, saying he wished to read his motion for a new trial aloud for the benefit of reporters and others.
“There is great public interest,” he said. “It would save time for the media.”
The judge told him his motion would become part of the public file where anyone can read it. But it did not become part of the public record because Gerhartsreiter said, “If I do not get to read the motion, I will withdraw it.” The judge said it was his right to do so.
Asked whether he had any last words, Gerhartsreiter said: “I can only say again I want to assert my innocence. I did not commit the crime for which I was convicted.”
Gerhartsreiter took over his own representation after a jury convicted him of first-degree murder in the death of Sohus, whose bones were found buried at the suburban San Marino home where the defendant had lived under the name Chris Chichester.
It was a heavily circumstantial case built 28 years after Sohus vanished. There was no slam-dunk DNA solution to a murder mystery. But discovery of the bones with a bag bearing the logo of a university once attended by the defendant added a crucial piece to the puzzle of the man who later called himself Clark Rockefeller.
Sohus, a 27-year-old computer programmer who was the son of the defendant’s landlady, vanished with his wife, Linda, in 1985. No trace of her has been found. Gerhartsreiter hinted at a recent hearing that he might have information about her whereabouts but never expanded on that.
During the years, Gerhartsreiter was variously known as Chris Crowe, Chip Smith, and as a Rockefeller while worming his way into high society, moving from New York to Connecticut and Boston. He married a wealthy woman and controlled her funds. But his identity unraveled after he kidnapped their daughter in Boston during a custody dispute.
The publicity led California authorities to revisit the Sohus disappearance and the bones found in 1994.
He was near the end of his sentence in Boston for kidnapping his young daughter when he was charged with murder.
Jurors took a scant six hours to convict him.
