I know I am a little late to this thread, but felt compelled to fill in some holes from the previous posts.I'm utterly disgusted by what I have learned about Jimmy. I grew up next to him. Let me say first off his parents were saints! I lived in the same cul de sac from the age of 5-17. His mom and dad were like grandparents to me and all of the kids in the neighborhood. Although we always did find Jimmy odd, since he was an attorney but still lived with his parents. His room was decorated like a teenager. He loved the Detroit Tigers and had baseball banners/posters etc all throughout his room. He spent most of his time in that room and rarely came outside. His poor mom would even take his meals up to him, even in her old age. We knew he was a coach and NO he did not ever have any kids of his own. We did see him with a boy about the age of 12 or so but they never stayed long at the house. Yes he did have a new Corvette about every 2 years that I think he would lease. He was very odd and never really spoke to us neighbors. His parents would even babysit me and I even spent the night over there on many occassions. Nothing ever happened to me, maybe since I'm a girl. But I feel horrible for anyone who was a victim of his. After his mom (Anita) could not take care of herself he put her in a home and she died a few years later. We went to the funeral where he showed up looking desheveled with a cut on his forehead and bruise on his face, supposedly from a car accident. Later I heard a friend saw him at a pharmacy picking up pain meds and another friend saw him again trying to go to a pharm thru the grocery store. We did not hear about his death but I did hear about his disbarrment. He really didn't have much family besides an aunt (Dolly) who I'm sure has passed. Dads sister. And maybe a couple of distant cousins. Again his parents were the absolute best people in the world and I'm just glad they are not around to see or hear about how sick their son was. They figured he never married since he did family law and always had to deal with the breakups of families. Poor things had no clue what he was up to. Thank you for putting this information out there. I really hope he is dead. I'll also see what I can find out.
Jim had a good family law practice going and coached Little League in El Monte and Arcadia when I knew him. When his mom died he freaked out and wasn't thinking right. He got in a car accident and left the scene of the accident. As an officer of the court, he was disciplined for this and put on suspension. He petitioned the court to be reinstated and because of his perfect record he was. He got pretty banged up in the wreck and got hooked on pain pills. This grew into a serious addiction where he simply let everything slip and was then disbarred for abandonment. He became homeless living in various shelters, which is why he had to access the computers from public libraries. When he first started practicing law he leased his first of two Pontiac Trans Ams and as his practice grew he started leasing Corvettes. He never married and never had kids. As far as I know, he never dated. I lost contact with him when he started coaching in Orange County. I didn't hear about him for quite sometime until I saw his picture in the newspaper and the story of what a sick bas**** he was. My guess, and it's just a guess, he was shown some jailhouse justice by other inmates who notoriously hate crimes against kids. Like a few of who have posted here, I too am curious how he really died. With no family or friends to take the body it is likely he was cremated and interred somewhere very cheap and unmarked.
