Auditor: Cochran broke law
March 26, 2008 at 9:17 am | Mobile Reader | Print
Dawson says that he never noticed the FEMA trailer when he conducted his audit, and wasn't aware that the fire station was used to house a couple from New Orleans. Dawson will be reviewing the 2007 records of the St. Rose Fire Station on April 15 and plans to complete his report by June 30.
"If the audit proves that he (Cochran) allowed people to live at the station, I will inform the state's auditor and they could decide to take it a step forward to the ethics board," Dawson, who works for ErickesenKrentel and Laporte Certified Public Accountants and Consultants, said. "We may also speak to the district attorney about the situation."
Dawson also said that if Cochran's mother and the couple did in fact use the utilities, they would have to pay back the fire station in one lump sum. Payment could resolve the situation.
"The St. Rose Fire Department is not a lender, so accepting monthly payments is out of the question," he said.
Dawson says that the new audit will help determine how much money is owed.
"It's a FEMA trailer, so just estimating, it couldn't be anymore than $10,000 or $15,000 in utilities," he said. "The question still remains about why the FEMA trailer was there to begin with because, as far as I know, the station didn't have any damage caused by Katrina. I want an explanation about why the FEMA trailer was needed."
The 2006 audit showed that $6,000 was spent without the proper invoices or receipts to justify the payments, Dawson said. That audit also showed Cochran sold a trailer that was purchased by the fire station with public funds to an individual without holding a public auction, which is also a violation of state law.
"He simply sold a trailer that was purchased with public funds to someone and then deposited the money into a private account at the fire station," he said.
Dawson says this was done in 2005 (after Katrina) and it's too late to ask the person who purchased the trailer to give it back.
"We're not sure if he actually sold it for that amount or not, or if the person even paid the value for what the trailer was worth," he said. "That's the reason that a public auction is held."
Even with the cloud of suspicion hanging over Cochran's head, five council members voted to appoint him as an ex-officio member of the planning and zoning board. Dennis Nuss, Billy Raymond, Shelley Tastet and Wendy Benedetto voted for Cochran, while Terry Authement, Paul Hogan and Carolyn Schexnaydre voted against Cochran's appointment.
Cochrans alleged illegal activities were not addressed at Mondays council meeting.

Everton's Joe Williams sent off for a disgraceful tackle on Liverpool's Pedro Chirivella in the U18 mini derby [Video]
After Saturday's pulsating Merseryside derby at Goodison Park, Tuesday saw Everton's under-18 side hosts Liverpool's youth team in the mini derby.
Everton picked up a 3-1 win over their city rivals, and the Toffees claimed their win despite having Joe Williams sent off for a disgraceful tackle just before the hour.
The action started when Liverpool's young Spanish central midfielder Pedro Chirivella won a meaty 50/50 against Everton's number 10 (which some could also claim was a sending off offense).
Having escaped that challenge, Chirivella regained enough of his balance to lay off a forward pass, but then the Liverpool midfielder was brutally wiped out by a late, high tackle from Everton's Williams.
Williams collected an instant red card, while Liverpool had to withdraw Chirivella because he was injured.
See how Everton's Joe Williams was sent off for a disgraceful tackle on Liverpool's Pedro Chirivella in the U18 mini derby below.

Ashes 2013: Matt Prior - 'I asked Brad Haddin if he had edged it... he nodded'
Prior tells of the crucial moment when Hot Spot came up trumps for England
Stephen Brenkley
Stephen Brenkley is Cricket Correspondent for The Independent.
Cricket Correspondent
Wednesday 17 July 2013
England's wicketkeeper Matt Prior yesterday relived the moment when the team called for a review of the decision which eventually won them the first Ashes Test. It is fair to report that his heart was in his mouth.
Prior's description of events also demonstrates how difficult it is for umpires to declare big, match-altering verdicts. In the second Test, starting at Lord's tomorrow, the Decision Review System, and the Hot Spot camera in particular, will be the object of constant scrutiny.
With the match at Trent Bridge nearing a pulsating finale, Australia needed 15 runs to win with only one wicket in hand. The last wicket pair had put on 65 when Brad Haddin appeared to get a thin edge to a ball from Jimmy Anderson. Umpire Aleem Dar rejected England's appeal, which was led by Prior but joined belatedly by Anderson.
"It was a strange one because you're obviously hoping every ball for that final wicket. And then thankfully – I knew he had hit it, or assumed he had hit it. I heard the noise and for a keeper it can be the faintest nick but it just changes the timing of when the ball hits your gloves. You can almost feel when a batter hits it.So when Jimmy hadn't appealed I looked at Cooky [captain Alastair Cook] and he said, 'He's hit that, hasn't he?' and I said, 'I think so, definitely' and that's when we reviewed it. After we had reviewed it I actually turned to Hadds and said, 'You've hit that, haven't you?' and he nodded. I was then hoping Hot Spot was going to work and we'd get over the line."
Hot Spot did its business, albeit faintly, and England won an epic victory. Lest there still be any doubt, Haddin himself banished it forever by saying yesterday: "Yeah, I hit it. I knew I was out; it was obvious."
Obvious to all but Dar, who turned down the appeal, aware that England still had reviews up their sleeve. It was the last decision in a match that seemed to contain a series of umpiring lapses, although the International Cricket Counci issued a statement yesterday to show that Dar and his colleague Kumar Dharmasena were more often right than wrong.
Between them the pair had to make a total of 72 decisions during the match, well above the average of 49 for a match in which DRS is being used. They were assessed as having made seven errors, three of which went uncorrected. The percentage of correct decisions before reviews was 90.3 per cent, which rose to 95.8 per cent after the use of DRS. This was an increase of 5.5 per cent, which the ICC was clearly delighted to point out was the average increase from DRS Test matches in 2012-13.
The three uncorrected errors included the lbw decision against Jonathan Trott when Dar's correct decision was overturned and two involving Stuart Broad, who was caught at slip and struck leg before but given not out on both occasions, with Australia having no reviews left.
David Richardson, the chief executive of the ICC, said: "With reverse swing and spin playing an important role, and the added intensity of the first Ashes Test, it was a difficult match to umpire. The umpires did a good job under difficult conditions. This reflects the calibre of umpires Dar, Dharmasena and [Marais] Erasmus, who have consistently performed at a high level. Like the players, umpires can also have good and bad days but we all know that the umpire's decision, right or wrong, is final and must be accepted."
As for Prior, he has had a word with Anderson. "I've said to him, don't ever not appeal again."
Decision Review System: The difference
* A total of 72 decisions were taken by umpires Aleem Dar and Kumar Dharmasena during last week's first Ashes Test at Trent Bridge. According to the ICC, 65 (90.3 per cent) of those were correct first time, but that number increased to 69 (95.8 per cent) when the DRS was called upon. That still leaves three incorrect decisions for the entire Test, a shortfall of roughly four per cent.
Total umpire decisions 72
Correct before review 90.3%
Correct after review 95.8%
Increase using DRS +5.5%
England reviews 4
Unsuccessful 3
Australia reviews 9
Unsucessful 7*
*Australia had one decision incorrectly reversed by the TV umpire.

Tornado warning ends for Barrie region
Environment Canada ended its Tornado warning just after 6 p.m. Wednesday for Barrie, Orilla, Midland, Collingwood, Hillsdale, Coldwater and Orr Lake.
Share via Email
Environment Canada ended its tornado warning for the Barrie region just after 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Environment Canada issued the warning around 5:30 p.m. after a thunderstorm may have produced a waterspout over Nottawasaga Bay, on Lake Huron.
The warning included Midland, Orilla, Collingwood, Hillsdale, Coldwater and Orr Lake.
The national weather agency always advises residents to take shelter immediately if threatening weather approaches.
In the case of tornados it strongly suggests people go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Those who live in mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary shelters, should move to a strong building, if they can. As a last resort, you can lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.

The daughter of a Kansas attorney, Louise Brooks was 15 when she accompanied her mother to New York. A talented if not inspired dancer, Brooks performed with the Denishawn dance troupe, then worked in such annual revues as George White's Scandals and The Ziegfeld Follies. Signed to a Paramount film contract in 1925, she was largely confined to nondescript leading lady roles in such films as W.C. Fields' It's the Old Army Game (1926), directed by her then-husband Eddie Sutherland. Better roles came her way in Howard Hawks' A Girl in Every Port (1927) and William Wellman's Beggars of Life (1928). With her darkly exotic good looks and distinctively bobbed-and-banged haircut, Brooks gained popularity with filmgoers, but neither critics nor studio executives were particularly impressed with her acting ability. All this changed when she was invited to work in Berlin by director G.W. Pabst. Her haunting, provocative performances in Pabst's Pandora's Box (1928) and Diary of a Lost Girl (1929) not only established her as a screen personality of the first rank, but also fostered a Louise Brooks "cult" which continued to flourish.
Alas, when the temperamental Brooks refused to return to Hollywood to film sound retakes for her silent picture The Canary Murder Case (1929), she was effectively blacklisted in Hollywood. Despite another brilliant performance in René Clair's Prix de Beaute (1930), Brooks found herself consigned to thankless supporting roles when she returned to America. Soon she was scrounging for work in two-reel comedies and bit roles; her last screen appearance was a demeaning leading lady assignment in the 1938 Three Mesquiteers Western, Overland Stage Raiders, which she accepted because she needed 300 dollars in a hurry. She spent the next two decades in virtual obscurity, occasionally obtaining radio work, but generally limited to clerical and salesgirl jobs. She was rescued in the mid-'50s by a millionaire media executive with whom she'd allegedly had an affair, and who provided her with a modest monthly annuity for the rest of her life. She moved to Rochester where she formed a lasting friendship with film buff/curator James Card of the George Eastman House. It was Card who drew the reclusive Brooks out of her shell with a series of well-received Louise Brooks retrospectives. In her last two decades, she began a whole new career as a writer, producing well-researched and well-balanced articles on movie history. Still, she remained a mercurial personality to the end, alternately attracting and repelling her admirers with her unpredictable behavior. In 1982, Louise Brooks collaborated with Hollis Alpert on her witty, extremely candid autobiography, Lulu in Hollywood.

Five JAS-39 Gripen aircraft and six pilots have successfully completed 80 refueling contacts with German Airbus 310 MRTT tanker in training within ATARES Program.
"The training has increased number of Czech pilots who are able to refuel in the air and advanced capabilities of our flight and, at the same time, advanced combat skills of all the air force," Captain Pavel Pavlik, Deputy Commander of 211th Tactical Flight says.
The air-to-air refueling training mostly held over the Giant Mountains in the north of the Czech Republic at the beginning of this April followed the initial theory and practice lessons which Czech pilots took in Ronneby, Sweden, last year.
The Air Transport and Air to Air Refueling and other Exchange of Services (ATARES) is a joint NATO and EU program enabling sharing air transport and services capacities. Any participating country can offer its free air or ground services to other partners thus gaining advantage to use free services of other member countries.
The Czech Republic joined the ATARES Program in 2010 and first flights were transportation of Hungarian KFOR soldiers to and from Pristina, Kosovo, this February.

Keep Henrico Beautiful seeks nominations for top properties
The Keep Henrico Beautiful Committee is looking for exceptional residential and commercial properties for its 2012 Land Lover and Clean Business awards.
The awards, presented annually since 1995, recognize home and business properties that are attractively landscaped, well-maintained and litter-free. To be eligible for a Land Lover Award, residents must perform their own landscaping and lawn care. Nominees for a Land Lover or Clean Business award must participate in an ongoing recycling program, such as composting, curbside pickup or drop-off service.
The Keep Henrico Beautiful Committee, which is appointed by the Board of Supervisors, will vote in May to select a residential and commercial winner from each of the five magisterial districts. The winners will have signs placed at their properties in June and will be recognized at the June 26 meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
Nominations will be accepted through April 30. Residents and business owners may nominate their own properties as well as others. Forms are available by calling Hallie Boisseau at (804) 501-4502 or visiting http://www.co.henrico.va.us/utility/keep-henrico-beautiful/awards.

A hero is born
Disney's 'Big Hero 6,' lovable robot Baymax delight
It may be time for Olaf to step down as our nation's reigning cartoon character. Big Hero 6, the latest animated feature from Disney, contains a challenger to the throne: Baymax (Scott Adsit), another lovably chubby white wonder, who will bring joy to children's hearts and invade every home in America inside a six-foot pile of Disney merchandise.
Big Hero 6 (based ever so slightly on a Marvel comic of the same name) is the story of Baymax – and also his closest companion Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter). And then also their four friends, all of whom join together to form the titular superhero team.
At first, though, it's only Hiro, a young boy and an engineering prodigy, who'd rather spend his time in underground robot fight clubs than do something productive with his gifts. > Read more.
Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Biblical Home of Abraham Possibly Discovered by Archaeologists
Archaeologists have uncovered a massive building complex near the area that is thought to be the biblical home of Abraham in Iraq. Researchers say the structure may have served as a sort of public meeting building 4,000 years ago near the ancient city if Ur, where Abraham was born and lived before he moved to "the land of Canaan". Among the artifacts uncovered at the site was a plaque that depicted a worshipper in a long robe nearing what they believe is a sacred structure. According to scripture, before Abraham introduced the idea of a single God, idol worship was common in the region …

Winthrop, Mass. teacher accused of taping autistic student's eyebrow
A Winthrop teacher is under investigation for alleged misconduct at an elementary school.
Police were notified of the alleged inappropriate behavior last week.
According to a search warrant, another teacher at Cummings Elementary told investigators that the teacher in question put adhesive tape on an autistic student's eyebrow and then ripped it off, while the student said "ouch."
The investigation revealed the teacher shared video of the incident with other faculty and staff.
The Winthrop police have not arrested the 26-year-old teacher, but they executed a search warrant, examining the teacher's iPhone.
NewsCenter 5 and WCVB.com are not identifying the teacher, because the teacher has not been criminally charged at this time.
Chief Terence Delehanty, with the Winthrop Police Department said there's a potential that the incident may not be classified as criminal conduct. "It [could] be handled administratively and we are working through those facts."
Court paperwork also details a second incident in which an inappropriate photo was taken of a second autistic student.
"Children in general are a protected class, not able to protect themselves, so its up to the superintendent of schools and police department to protect them," said Chief Delehanty.
Attempts to reach the teacher Friday were unsuccessful.

Ukraine Prepares for Presidential Elections, Declares Day of Silence
Ukraine has began a Day of silence on May 24, a day before the early presidential elections scheduled for Sunday, according to international media reports.
On the same day, elections of mayors will be held in seven regional centers - Kiev, Nikolaev, Odessa, Sumy, Kherson, Cherkassy and Chernovtsy.
According to the law, any campaigning is prohibited on Saturday. In particular, on the night of Saturday, all campaign materials posted in public places should be removed, Voice of Russia informs.
According to surveys, the confectionery tycoon Petro Poroshenko and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko are among the main favorites in the forthcoming elections.
There are 33.7 million voters in the country. 3.3 million of them live in the Donetsk region and 1.77 million - in the Lugansk region, the Russian news agency reports.
Meanwhile, Russia's President Vladimir Putin announced he will respect the results of the presidential elections to be held Sunday in Ukraine.
"We wish that peace and calm come in Ukraine [and that] conditions are created for the country to move out of the crisis. I am speaking with no irony, so that in a country brotherly to us there is order. We will work with those who are now controlling power [and] after elections will work with newly-elected structures," Putin was quoted by Peterburgski Dnevnik, a local daily, as saying.
He asserted his country would support any choice made by the Ukrainian people.
Pro-Russian separatists occupying a number of buildings in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions at Ukraine's eastern borders have also vowed not to hold the vote in the cities which are currently under their control.

Marlon Samuels got to a double century in the 2nd Test against Bangladesh, his first ever in Test cricket. Despite the achievement, Samuels was disappointed to have been dismissed for 260 as he failed to cross the 300 run mark. "I'm definitely very disappointed that I did not pass 300, but a double-century is a double-century, and it's a big milestone, so I guess I will have to allow it to sink in and enjoy the achievement," he told reporters. "To be honest, if I did not get out, I would have been waiting for the spinners to come back on to bowl. The ball was still new and it's still a slow surface, and I would have been hitting sixes for the rest of the evening." He continued: "I said before the series I wanted to score a few more international hundreds this year and so this would count as two in my mind, but I am looking forward to the One-day Internationals to follow, and I'm sure everyone will enjoy watching." Samuels altered the tempo of his innings, often settling for easy singles, in order to manipulate the field set by Bangladesh. "The way Bangladesh have played the game, it's a slow pitch and they have placed a number of fielders on the boundary and they were tempting me to score over the top consistently," he said. "When I slowed down, I was just playing smart cricket because there were a number of singles that were there to be taken and I didn't mind doing this until the fielders came closer and gave me the chance to score over the top."

On Revenues, Obama Has Just Begun To Fight
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tells us the tax issue is behind us and that we can now move on to spending. Really? What makes him think the GOP will succeed this time when it couldn't last time?
The just-concluded fiscal cliff deal included no material spending cuts, which the GOP justified by saying it had achieved locked-in rates for most of Bush's tax cuts, which would force Obama to seriously discuss spending cuts and entitlement reform as part of the upcoming debt ceiling negotiations.
But a White House memo announcing the deal said that postponing the sequester for two months "will give Congress time to work on a balanced plan to end the sequester permanently through a combination of additional revenue and spending cuts in a balanced manner."
Does that sound as if the White House has satisfied its appetite for further "revenues"?
The memo is not the only evidence of Obama's intention to further punish producers. After the deal, he said, "Cutting spending has to go hand in hand with further reforms to our tax code so that the wealthiest corporations and individuals can't take advantage of loopholes and deductions that aren't available to most Americans."
We should be concerned because this deal didn't just raise income taxes on the wealthy. It raised capital gains, dividends and estate tax rates, as well as phasing out the personal exemption and deductions for individuals making $250,000 and couples making $300,000, which can add up to serious dollars. What further squeezes does Obama intend to impose?
It wasn't just Obama making threats of additional taxes, by the way. On CBS' "Face the Nation," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said, "In this legislation, we had $620 billion … but that is not enough on the revenue side." She said we must rid the tax code of unnecessary loopholes and "unfair" benefits that help those who don't need it.
So much for the Democrats' new attitude toward taxes. How about spending? Should we be any more optimistic that Obama will finally be willing to cooperate on spending and entitlement reform?
Though the last page of the post-deal memo casually mentions entitlement reform as an afterthought, the very first paragraph includes this sentence: "And this agreement ensures that we can continue to make investments in education, clean energy, and manufacturing that create jobs and strengthen the middle class."
In Obama's mind, tax rate hikes on the "rich" will provide him extra spending money to further tinker with the economy, redistribute wealth through spending allocations, waste billions more on green energy programs that private enterprise won't support, and increase the federal government's control over education. Obama has no interest in balancing the budget, even with tax hikes. He only views new revenues as a license to spend more.
So why do McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner think they're now in a better bargaining position to achieve spending cuts and entitlement reform? Well, that's just the question George Stephanopoulos asked McConnell on ABC's "This Week." "Are you prepared … to see the country default if the president won't sign the spending cuts you demand?" asked Stephanopoulos.
McConnell replied that it shouldn't get to that point — that the parties could begin working now and get a deal. He said: "It's time to confront (our spending addiction). The president surely knows that."
Seriously? Obama's known this for years, so what has changed? Is McConnell saying that Obama will now be serious about cutting spending because he's already achieved tax hikes on the rich, which we've already seen is a woefully unwarranted assumption? Or is he saying the GOP can finally expose Obama as a charlatan if he won't agree to cut entitlements?
If it's the latter, McConnell never said so, nor did he demonstrate how the GOP would be in any better position to make its case to the public than it has so far — which is to say, not at all.
I don't grasp the thought process leading GOP leaders to believe either that Obama will now come to the table on spending and entitlements or that they would now be in a better position to expose his unreasonableness to the public if he were not to.
But maybe we're making progress if they: finally believe they have some leverage and will be willing to use it. We will never convince the American public that Obama is bankrupting the country if Republican leaders don't start making their case to the people repeatedly, obsessively, with multiple megaphones.
So more power to them if they're going to be aggressive this time in articulating their case. We're quickly approaching the point that we have little to lose with a government shutdown, because if we don't cut spending and reform entitlements very soon, we'll run out of this Monopoly money, and the government will go broke.
Please let us finally have this debate in public — a debate the liberal media will be forced to cover because it will happen in the context of a threatened government shutdown. Holding my breath.

EXCLUSIVE: Girl who claimed to be Harry's Vegas lover planning 'tell all' book about parties with Tiger Woods, Jack Nicholson and Mick Jagger
The party girl who claimed she was Prince Harry's Vegas lover is writing a book about her escapades with the rich and famous, MailOnline can reveal today.
Beautician Carrie Reichert, 40, has written over 500 pages about her nights out and even vacations with a raft of American superstars.
Reichert lists bad boy golfer Tiger Woods, British actor Jude Law, one-time pop party animal Robbie Williams, basketball legends Charles Barkely and Michael Jordan among those she has partied with.
Party girl: Beautician and massage expert claims to have written 500 pages of a book about her nights out with the rich and famous
Diary: Carrie likes to compare her exploits on the LA and Vegas party scene to those of Belle Du Jour
Other stars she claims she will talk about include Sir Mick Jagger and Jack Nicholson. She has also enjoyed drunken nights out with Hollywood It girls Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears.
The blonde promises the book will "not hold back" on details.
The massage specialist has partied in her home town of Los Angeles and Las Vegas for over two decades.
Reichert shot to international prominence after she partied with Harry in his bedroom suite during his naked billiards game at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas last August.
In a taped interview she alleged she kissed the second-in-line to the throne in a naked 'drunken fumble'.
When she sold her story, a St James's Palace spokesman flatly denied the girl's claims, saying 'the story is untrue.'
And a source close to the prince also questioned Reichert's account, saying: 'This lady was not present with Prince Harry on the night in question or on any occasion.'
A few hours after coming forward with her story, Reichert was arrested and placed on remand over fraudulent cheques.
Not pulling punches: Reichert is hawking for an agent for her book in which she claims she will name those she partied with including Tiger Woods and Mick Jagger
Extraordinary: Jack Nicholson and her time with Paris Hilton, Britney Spears will also be touched on
She insists that the British secret service were responsible for her incarceration.
Reichert is shopping the manuscript to major Hollywood agents like CAA in a bid to land a book deal and get TV rights for a novel, and she is comparing its style to that of high class call girl Belle Du Jour.
Reichert said last night: 'I am writing a book about what happened with Harry and other people too.
'I want to put the record straight on the many things, which have been said about me in recent months. I think many people will be surprised at my life story.'
A spokesman for Bad Girls PR, who are representing her, added: 'Carrie has an extraordinary story to tell from her time with celebrities.
Spooks: Reichert, now 40, claims the British Secret Service had her locked up after she claimed she'd had a 'drunken fumble' with Prince Harry in a Las Vegas hotel suite last year
'She has hung out and been in unique positions with many celebrities and well know people.
'We are keeping the stories under wraps until the book's release. But during early meetings, we have been shocked and surprised by what she had to say.
'I cannot say too much, but I feel there may be some stars quaking in their boots when this is published.'
A source close to Reichert added: 'Carrie feels that she has a lot of content, which will make readers pick up the book.
'She has been joking that there are themes of Fifty Shades Of Grey, the Joy Of Sex and the TV series Californication throughout the book. She has not told everyone about all the stars involved, and we expect some surprise names.'
British TV company ITV turned the famous diary London party lover turned call girl Billie Piper into a hit series.
Brooke Magnanti worked as a high class prostitute while completing her doctoral studies, between 2003 and 2004.
Actress Billie Piper played the role which aired around the world, including on HBO in the USA.
Last summer, MailOnline revealed Reichert blamed Harry's minders and the British secret service for her arrest and month long stint in jail.
Beautician Reichert feels that British spooks have put pressure on US authorities to gag her for talking about the Prince with time behind bars.
Wrong impression: The beautician said she wants to show people she wants to counter what people have said about her since the Harry incident and her arrest for cheque fraud
Hours after talking about her escapades with Harry, the blonde divorcee was arrested on a felony warrant at San Diego airport on a Mexico bound plane on August 24. She was released on bond in October.
She allegedly wrote four bad cheques worth a total of $21,672 starting in August 2003.
Reichert's lawyer insists she is innocent, and are still negotiating a deal.
At the time lawyer Donald Rafferty said: 'Carrie feels like she is being treated much different to other people.'
'Professionally since 1984 in my experience a charge of this nature is typically not prosecuted at the same level that she is being prosecuted at.
'All she had to do was obtain a fugitive bond out there and turn herself into Mississippi. She became high profile very quickly because of an interview she gave and that had an impact.
'I am not convinced that Mississippi authorities were the ones necessarily stirring that gumbo as we say, but something was.'
The buxom blonde spent almost a month in Harrison County, Mississippi jail – known as one of the toughest prisons in the US.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in Newton, Connecticut has made many Americans think about future restrictions placed on private firearm use. Proof of this heightened concern is that background checks required for gun ownership skyrocketed in the U.S. for the month of December.

Keywords: Gun ownership, backround checks, tragedy, gun bans, gun control
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The FBI said it recorded 2.78 million background checks during December, surpassing the mark set in November of 2.01 million checks, which is a 39 percent rise, up 49 percent over December 2011, when the FBI performed a then-record 1.86 million checks.
U.S. gun purchases accounts for the sudden uptick in activity. According to FBI spokesman Stephen Fischer, there were no changes in FBI background check procedures that would have affected the December numbers.
December is always the busiest month of the year for gun background checks -- in part to Christmas gift sales. It must be noted that the current figures do not represent the number of firearms sold, which a statistic the government does not track. The figures also do not reflect activity between private parties, such as family members or collectors, as federal law requires background checks only for sales from commercial vendors with a federal license.
The FBI system - known as the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) - "processed transactions following normal established protocols," Fischer said in an email.
Debate on the Second Amendment and the right of Americans to bear arms has intensified after 20-year-old Adam Lanza forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 20 children and six adults before committing suicide December 14. The tragedy was one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.
Public interest in guns always tend to increase after a mass shooting, as customers fear for personal safety or worry that lawmakers might ban certain firearms. President Barack Obama has suggested about possibly including a ban on some semi-automatic weapons this year.
Gun manufacturers have enjoyed the recent windfall. "The last eight years (have) been very good to be a handgun company. The market has expanded significantly, and long guns having done pretty good, as well," Smith & Wesson Chief Executive James Debney said at a conference for investors two days before the Newton shootings.
Shares of gun maker Smith & Wesson Holding Corp were up 1.2 percent at $8.54 at Wednesday's close, while those of Sturm Ruger & Co Inc were up 1.1 percent at $45.88, during a broad rally in which the Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 2.5 percent.
Some find the trend disturbing. "While the majority of Americans look for solutions to stop the next attack, a minority of gun owners runs to hoard the very guns used in the most recent" incidents, Josh Sugarmann, executive director of the Violence Policy Center, a group that favors gun control says.
