GUILTY AR - Dr. Randeep & Sangeeta Mann for car bombing, West Memphis, 2009

[SuziQ]

What dr. is that? Do you have any links?
I've searched, with no luck at all, the first name listed on the ar. medical board notices. It's listed as emergency order of suspension with a Jan. 9, 09 date. I'm not sure what the acronym after his name means, but I looked it up and came back with this:
LRCP- Laboratory Research Cooperative Program
sorry if I got off topic

I think the poster was referring to this guy. I googled him, then promptly took a bath in bleach. Icky guy. BTW, thanks for the list!

Where in anything that you read did you get the impression that "the good doctor may not have been so good." Just curious. He was the medical director of a facility that had charges brought against it for neglect, it would be common for his name to be brought up in the suit as well because of the position he held. That does not mean that he committed any sort of crime what-so-ever. Physicians all over the country are sued without merit on a regular basis by money hungry attorneys who pray on the emotions of grieving family members.

They're also often sued for very good reason. I used to proof-read depositions, and most of the cases of medical malpractice were well deserved by the incompetent, arrogant, and/or ignorant doctors who were being sued.
In many of them, I could hardly believe criminal charges weren't being brought.
Now whether Dr. Pierce was negligent when he was medical director of the nursing home, I don't know. It's kind of hard to see how he could not have been negligent considering his position there and the proved allegations.
It could have just been a meaningless title, though, and maybe he didn't have a responsibility to see that the patients in the facility were given proper care.

Nomad, I'm bumping this up for you. The below links will take you to creepy doctor. His status hearing to prove he was registered in a sex offender program was this month. And the only days the board was meeting was yesterday and today. So it appears his case was to be heard then.

It's okay SusieQ

I was looking at this victim and I'm wondering if this might be job related retaliation?

He is on the board that supervises doctors and their license to practice.

If you google his name he has been in a few cases whereby a couple of physicians have been in trouble in the last year.

Might have nothing to do with this explosion but I'll post it all the same if no one minds:

Would the use of an explosive in this case, indicate a perp that is more sophisticated in thinking?

I don't post much, because the WS are so good. However, I just think they are rabid, chopping at the gate. I do not have the answers, but I DO understand the DELTA and Arkansas.

I'm sorry, I should have posted a link. This is the man I was talking about. I too think a bath in bleach is in order. Yucky!!!

You are correct there are many cases where suits are filed for legitimate reason. Speaking as a nurse who has worn many hats (labor and delivery,nursery, geriatric care manager, school nurse ect...) I have seen some fantastic physicians and then others who I would not allow to care for my dead dog!!! That being said, often times being the Medical Director for a long term care facility is a "meaningless title". It is often a position that needs to be filled in order for a facility to operate. I would guess as with any position the level of involvement/responsibility varies from one facility to the next. That being said, I am of the opinion if your are going to carry the title of Medical Director you better be sure your house is in order because when the walls come crashing down you will carry a large part of the blame.

Chief: Police at 'dead end' in Ark. bombing case

"A police chief said detectives investigating a bombing that severely wounded a state medical-board official were at "a dead end" Friday as they waited for lab results, a chance to talk to the victim and for anyone who saw the attacker to come forward.

West Memphis police made a televised appeal for neighbors to say if they saw anyone in front of Dr. Trent Pierce's home between 7 p.m. Tuesday and 8 a.m. Wednesday — the time the bomb exploded.

West Memphis police Chief Robert Paudert said no witnesses have come forward with information about who entered Pierce's driveway to plant the bomb.

"We've got no information yet from anybody who saw anything," Paudert told The Associated Press. "We're at a dead end right now."

Austin Banks, a senior special agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, declined to agree with Paudert's assessment, while acknowledging the importance of finding any witness who may have seen the bomber."

Continued prayers for the Doctor and his family.

I hope that whoever did this doesn't get away with it.

Hi Jubilee. I never lived in the delta. My Grandmother and GGrandmother helped raise me (I am 47) and they were from Memphis and Holmes MS respectively. So I was brought up with all the ideals of that area.

I'm not sure how to word this question. Is there still a strong sense of honor in that region among folks that when you or your family is "done wrong" then the family takes it upon themselves to right that wrong. I'm not talking vigilante style...I'm talking about honor or that sense of honor ... lacking for a better word. Perhaps it could have just been my family. But family is paramount, and an insult or grievance is righted...always. No matter how long it takes.

Sorry for the OT folks...just curious for insight into the area.

Bumping this up. Sure would think that this would get more coverage.

Anyone see the news story on CNN abotu 2 weeks ago, where United states citizens ( kids that came over from another country with there familes, and immigrated legally) and are now us citizens, being called back to there "home" country to train to become teriosts. And then coming back into the country, and they wouldn't even be investigated because they have legal us passports? And then comitting a terrist attack on US soil. Not sure if this has any connection or not, but maybe something to think about.

 

[nomad]

The news said LE had 100 leads, and a dead end. That's alot to wind up coming up with zilch imo.
So I looked at the virtual google map of Dr.'s home. His driveway is a "lane" where you enter at one end and just go straight through to leave. It runs parallel to his house and right next to the front door. It's also right next to the street, but secluded by a tall privacy fence between the two entrances. As for the street, it's a four way so there is some traffic, and I didin't see anywhere for off-street parking so if a person were to park there, they'd be parked literally in the traffic lane. The houses are set real close to the street, and pretty close to each other. I saw another entrance to the property when you turn the corner that looked like a side yard.
I just can't believe that nobody noticed their dog's behaving strange at least.

Not sure I saw the same show but it was very similar. Beyond scary. Many were refugees originally IIRC. They go "home" and disappear leaving their families behind.

Seems strange they'd say they're at a dead end when it had only been two days. I don't even see how they could track down all the people they needed to question in that amount of time.

 

[MeoW333]

What if they're just saying they are at a dead end since the FBI ATF told them to say that? They maybe can't jeopardize the investigation.. The police Chief is the one who said they were at a dead end, the special agent with ATF declined to agree about the dead end.

Alot of details about how a thick coat saved Dr Pierce, his injuries and how he's doing.

I hate to go there but no one else has yet (unless I skipped a post in which case I apologize)and I like to discuss every possibility, feel free to discount my theory because I have not had time to go through every article.
The first person we normally suspect is the spouse. Has anyone found anything on the state of their marriage, or a statement from LE clearing a family connection? I know his wife probably did not do this, but "no stone unturned" right? As far as the 24 hr protection she is receiving, it could simply be them monitoring her but giving them just saying it's "protection".
So....flame away if you must-but I think it needs to be discussed just as it is in all other cases.

What is curious, other than the family is under protection, there really has been no info coming out about them. Not that that is a bad thing, but IMO, it's unusual.

I had read that LE has cleared the wife. They went through his computers, email, etc, and found that the couple had a strong 26+ year marriage. Doesn't mean she couldn't be a suspect in the future, but they specifically said she isn't one now.
