So what's the concern? That someone might use those directions to
burglarize Ken's garage? (Just kidding. Ted, you really do have a
problem.)
Things haven't been going too well for Ted Kaldis lately.
He and Patty are out of money. He's been humiliated on Usenet. His
brother-in-law is still in jail, awaiting a retrial for murder. The
original lawyer, Mark Geragos, has dropped the case, after Ted and Patty
paid out probably hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it was mainly
Ted's fault when he insisted Geragos withheld the "H-bomb class
evidence" in the first trial. The replacement lawyer, a colleague of
Geragos, is taking the case at the public defender's pay scale, and his
effort will be mailed in if the case goes sour in the least. All of that
pales in importance to the biggest, most urgent crisis he currently
faces: the local grocery store is out of the discount bulk bags of cookies.

Like what? If you don't know the location, the directions don't tell you
anything.

Okay, now YOU'VE just told everyone what the directions are to. But then
again, the particular exit has not been identified, so without that, Ken is
still somewhat "safe". (Though I was EASILY able to find out this location
-- EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE -- so anyone else who is determined
could do so without terribly much effort.)

If I were to make the sharp hairpin turn to the right at the end of
the ramp seen here, follow the road down a ways, and take the first
right as the road curves around to the left, then follow that road
and take the third right, and then turn into the first parking lot
on the right, what would I find in [I believe it's] the 2nd building

What "problem"? I just happened to be driving by, so I snapped a picture.

Oh, you think? What do you know about me? (As for example, where am I

Cripes, that is too much, even for Teddie. What the hell was he
THINKING? What's the point of making directions to Kent's home unless
Teddie wanted someone else to DO something to Kent? Worse still, he
still has his brother-in-law's frigging MURDER trial coming up and
something like THAT could seriously end up biting him on his big fat
ass.
Teddie you idiot. Get help for your OCD or one of these days you are

Then sue, fatass. You know damn well what the felon reference is
about. When you were in Australia BY YOUR ONW ADMISSION you and your
buddies particiaped in bashing gays with a tyre iron you OWNED you
gave one of your buddies straight out of the trunk of your car, and
when the police arrived, you ran like a coward Not to mention your
increasingly dangerous OCD involving Ken Smith. You aren't a CONVICTED
felon, yet, but you have commited felonies, criminal acts...

You and Patty moderate your crappy little blog, You both have the
judgment to allow or NOT allow such a thing to be posted. The fact
that it is stilll there means you WANT it there, while posts from
people like me and Wayne and a few others are curiously cenosred out
as soon as you find them.
Do you remember the case a few years ago were a " pro-life" web site
published the names, faces and addresses of " abortion providers" and
because of them at least one person was murdered? The web site was
blatantly calling for people to be murdered and the news of the murder
and its connection to the web site seriously damaged the " pro-lifers"
credibility to the public.
Tell us Teddie, what WAS your reason for posting that on your blog?
Any explanation at all?

Why post it at all? Why put quotes around the word" Safe" ? Doing so
indicates what your intentions are.
(Though I was EASILY able to find out this location

So you claim you have never been there. I do think there was a few
years ago where you pulled a similar real life stalking attempt in
Australia involving an assocate of Ken Smith. Last I heard the
stalking you do is a real probem as it can lead up to volence, even
death. You are oding you same damn hint and inference crap you pull to
give the impression you wll later claim to vehemently deny. The target
is Ken Smith and you damn well know it. Ken has sia din the pastthat
he knows what you are doing and has taken precautions to protect
himself and his wife.
Teddie get psych help for your OCD before you end up in the gutter
with your blood flowing down the sewer and the coroner bagging your
corpse.

So if someone posted directions to YOUR home ( actually your sister's)
would that be okay? I mean considering your racist, sexist and
homophobic comments in the past surely SOMEONE would love to make a
personal visit. You know the Golden Rule, Teddie, Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you.

He does have a wife, one whose training diagnosed you very well. You
OTOH have no wife and are living with your sister, and neither of you
are very well on personal grooming or a neat appearance, much less
simple household chores like doing the laundry. Needless to say
Teddie, you are pathetic.

We know by your own words what kind a fuckup you are, Teddie. Your
excuse that you were " just driving by" when you made a photo of Ken's
home falls flat when you live in California and he lives in Colorado.
Must be SOME " driving by". As to where you are currently who gives a
shit.
We know you and your sister are so financially bereft that you have a
court appointed attorney to defend Camoron. We know neither of you
have the common sense to show up in court in clean,decent clothes
instead of looking like trailer park trash. We know you, to use your
favorite word, prevaricate, claiming one thing then later backing away
with some lameass excuse to weasel out of the impression you were
deliberately trying to promote about you. We know you by your own
admission participated in an assault of gays even though you claim not
to have wielded your tyre iron and by your own admission when the
police arrived you didn't stay around to be held accountable We know
you profess to be Christian yet. your version of Jesus can't
distinguish the asterics in your cuss words.. We know you have a
serious case of OCD.
BTW how is your screenplay/book going on the Camoron Borowm case?
Anyone wanting to pay you for it yet? Got a new plastic shopping bag

That'd be almost as crazy as having people you know forge a criminal
record for you on an official state website! Or claiming that you did.
Take your pick.
Felons are as Felons do ...
So you're admitting YOU are a felon? Interesting.

Kent
Bless me, Father, for I have committed an original sin.
I poked a badger with a spoon.
Are you hallucinating again Kent?
Claiming that you colluded in forging records on a state court web site;
that could arguably be seen as admitting to a felony. But saying "Felons
are as felons do?" How do you figure?
I don't doubt his claim that he supplied a tire iron to gay bashers, so
it's a moot point. I regret that he was not caught, and hope he feels
shame and contrition.
On the other hand, I do doubt your claim that you colluded in the forgery
of official state legal records. I certainly can't think of a sane reason
for you to have done so. Then again, I can't think of a sane reason for
you to claim you did if you did not.
Or Kent Wills could try Burglary again, or falsifying State Court Records
...
Burglary or Forgery of State Criminal Justice Records, either way Kent Wills
is a Felon.
I'd need to try at least once to try it again.

That's what Ted said about your threats to repudiate Geragos ...
For someone with nothing to hide, you sure do duck a a lot of questions.
Please indulge me. Don't tell me to search in Google, just give me direct
answers. These are pretty much yes or no questions, so direct answers will
probably take less time than saying they've 'already been addressed' in any
case.
1. Are you under the impression that it's not a felony to forge official
state records in Iowa?
2. Is the Kent Bradley Wills who appealed his conviction to the Iowa
Supreme Court you?
2a. If not, is it someone else with the same name as you?
2b. If neither, are you asserting there was no such case?
Again, simple yes or no questions, requiring you to type either
two letters or three.
Here's one that might take a little longer, but given the amount
of posting you do here, you've probably got time:
2c. If there was no such case, why is it in the law books?
Post a scan of your firearms permit!
There were no threats. I informed everyone AFTER I sent the
complaints.
I don't know what, if anything became of them. I can
reasonably guess, based on Ted's actions, that Geragos chewed him a
new one, but this is only a guess.

What kind of non-sequitur is that? I dare you to turn me in,
since, according to you, I've committed a felony, and you reply with
"Post a scan of your firearms permit!" ?
I don't follow the line of thought. Please enlighten me here.
Do you understand what a serious crime it would be to forge
an Iowa Supreme Court opinion so as to make it appear that
the legal principles expressed therein were binding on every
court in Iowa? To forge an opinion in such a way that it could
be authoritatively cited in briefs presented to Iowa courts?
I would really like to hear Larry's comments on this claim of
yours, but he seems to be ducking this one. I suspect if he
believed that you did this, he would feel obligated to turn
you in. But maybe he will speak for himself.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF IOWA
No. 31 / 04-0202
Filed May 6, 2005
STATE OF IOWA,
Appellee,
vs.
KENT BRADLEY WILLS,
Appellant.
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Michael D. Huppert,
Judge.
Defendant appeals claiming ineffective assistance of counsel.
AFFIRMED.
Linda Del Gallo, State Appellate Defender, and Tricia Johnston, Assistant
State Appellate Defender, for appellant.
Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Kevin Cmelik, Assistant Attorney
General, John P. Sarcone, County Attorney, and John Judisch, Assistant
County Attorney, for appellee.
WIGGINS, Justice.
Kent Wills appeals his conviction for second-degree burglary contending
that an attached garage is a separate occupied structure from that of the
living quarters of the residence. In this appeal, we must determine
whether trial counsel was ineffective for (1) failing to move for judgment
of acquittal on the basis there was insufficient evidence to convict Wills
of second-degree burglary when he entered an attached garage of a residence
when no persons were present in the garage, but when persons were present
in the living quarters; and (2) failing to object to a jury instruction
based on this same argument. Because we find there was no legal basis for
the motion for judgment of acquittal or the objection to the jury
instruction, Wills’ trial counsel was not ineffective. Accordingly, we
affirm the judgment of the district court.

Around 1 a.m., an Ankeny resident called the local police to report that a
car alarm sounded in the resident’s neighborhood. The city dispatched a
police officer to the location. Observing nothing unusual, the officer
left the area, only to be stopped a couple of blocks later by a person who
informed the officer he had witnessed someone running from the area of the
car alarm. As the officer started driving back to the area of the car
alarm, he noticed a person walking on the sidewalk. The officer asked the
person, a minor, if he had noticed anybody running from the area. The
minor answered that he had not. While the officer and another officer were
speaking to the minor, another resident of the neighborhood arrived in her
car and informed the officers that she had observed two people, one of whom
was heavy set with a blinking light on his back pocket, walking in the area
of her neighbor’s residence. She observed the heavier-set individual,
later identified as Wills, enter her neighbor’s attached garage through an
unlocked service door. She further observed a smaller individual standing
by a van parked in the neighbor’s driveway.
The officers eventually let the minor leave even though they found a large
amount of coins, a flashlight, and an electronic pocket organizer in his
pockets. After releasing the minor, the police officers drove to the
residence where the neighbor observed the two suspicious people and woke
the owner. The owner, his wife, and two daughters were in the residence
sleeping at the time. After a search of his vehicles, the owner discovered
change and an electronic pocket organizer were missing from the vehicles.
The owner’s daughter reported a diamond ring and some change were missing
from her vehicle. The officers then contacted the minor’s parents, who
informed the officers the minor was with Wills. After the officers
questioned the minor again, he admitted his involvement in the theft and
implicated Wills in the burglary. Although Wills denied involvement in the
burglary, the officers arrested him.
The State filed a trial information charging Wills with second-degree
burglary. The State later amended the information to include two
additional charges of burglary in the third degree and using a juvenile to
commit an indictable offense.
The jury returned a verdict finding Wills guilty of the crimes of burglary
in the second degree, burglary in the third degree, and using a juvenile to
commit an indictable offense. Wills appeals his conviction for
second-degree burglary claiming ineffective assistance of counsel.
II. Scope of Review.
Claims of ineffective assistance of counsel are derived from the Sixth
Amendment of the United States Constitution. Strickland v. Washington, 466
U.S. 668, 684-86, 104 S. Ct. 2052, 2063-64, 80 L. Ed. 2d 674, 691-93
(1984). Our review for a claim involving violations of the Constitution is
de novo. State v. Fintel, 689 N.W.2d 95, 100 (Iowa 2004). We normally
preserve ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims for postconviction relief
actions. State v. Carter, 602 N.W.2d 818, 820 (Iowa 1999). However, we
will address such claims on direct appeal when the record is sufficient to
permit a ruling. State v. Artzer, 609 N.W.2d 526, 531 (Iowa 2000). The
appellate record in the present case is sufficient to allow us to address
Wills’ ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims on direct appeal.
In order for a defendant to succeed on a claim of ineffective assistance of
counsel, the defendant must prove: (1) counsel failed to perform an
essential duty and (2) prejudice resulted. Id. Prejudice results when
“there is a reasonable probability that, but for the counsel’s
unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been
different.” State v. Hopkins, 576 N.W.2d 374, 378 (Iowa 1998) (quoting
Strickland, 466 U.S. at 694, 104 S. Ct. at 2068, 80 L. Ed. 2d at 698).
Wills’ arguments also raise issues of statutory interpretation, which we
review for correction of errors at law. State v. Wolford Corp., 689 N.W.2d
471, 473 (Iowa 2004).
III. Analysis.
To find Wills guilty of burglary in the second degree, the State had to
prove Wills perpetrated a burglary “in or upon an occupied structure in
which one or more persons are present . . . .” Iowa Code § 713.5(2) (2003)
(emphasis added).
In this appeal, Wills first contends his trial counsel was ineffective for
failing to move for a judgment of acquittal on the basis there was
insufficient evidence to support a finding that at the time Wills entered
the garage, there were persons present in or upon the occupied structure.
Wills concedes the garage was an occupied structure, but argues the living
quarters and the attached garage are separate and independent occupied
structures; therefore, the jury could not have found there were people
present in the attached garage at the time of the burglary.
The Code defines an “occupied structure” as:
[A]ny building, structure, appurtenances to buildings and structures, land,
water or air vehicle, or similar place adapted for overnight accommodation
of persons, or occupied by persons for the purpose of carrying on business
or other activity therein, or for the storage or safekeeping of anything of
value. Such a structure is an “occupied structure” whether or not a person
is actually present.
Id. § 702.12.
Wills relies on State v. Smothers, 590 N.W.2d 721 (Iowa 1999), to argue the
garage and the living quarters are separate and independent occupied
structures. In Smothers, two separate and distinct businesses connected by
interior fire doors were operated in the same structure. 590 N.W.2d at
723. We held the defendant committed two burglaries by entering each
business because “[t]he facility’s construction history and physical
make-up demonstrate that the portions are independent working units which
constitute ‘[a] combination of materials to form a construction for
occupancy [or] use.’” Id. Smothers is not at odds with the present case
because the living quarters and the garage are not separate or independent
units of the residence.
Our review of the record reveals the garage in question was a three-car
attached garage separated from the living quarters by a door. The same
roof covered the garage as the rest of the residence. The living quarters
surrounded the garage on two sides. It was structurally no different from
any other room in the residence.
The garage was a functional part of the residence. On the night of the
incident, the door was unlocked. The owner of the residence used two
stalls in the garage to park the family vehicles. The owner used the third
stall for his motorcycle. As such, the garage and the living quarters are
a single “structure” or “building” functioning as an integral part of the
family residence. Thus, the residence including the garage is a single
“occupied structure” under section 702.12. See, e.g., People v. Ingram, 48
Cal. Rptr. 2d 256 (Ct. App. 1995) (holding defendant’s entry into an
attached garage constituted first-degree burglary because the garage was
attached to the house; therefore, burglary of the garage was burglary of an
inhabited dwelling house); People v. Cunningham, 637 N.E.2d 1247, 1252
(Ill. App. Ct. 1994) (holding “ordinarily an attached garage is a
‘dwelling’ because it is part of the structure in which the owner or
occupant lives”); State v. Lara, 587 P.2d 52, 53 (N.M. Ct. App. 1978)
(holding “burglary of the [attached] garage was burglary of the dwelling
house because the garage was a part of the structure used as living
quarters”); People v. Green, 141 A.D.2d 760, 761 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)
(holding “[s]ince the garage in the present case was structurally part of a
building which was used for overnight lodging of various persons, it must
be considered as part of a dwelling”); White v. State, 630 S.W.2d 340, 342
(Tex. Ct. App. 1982) (holding an attached garage under the same roof as the
home would be considered a habitation within the purview of the penal code
because the garage is a structure appurtenant to and connected to the
house); State v. Murbach, 843 P.2d 551, 553 (Wash. Ct. App 1993) (holding
the definition of a dwelling under Washington’s burglary statute included
an attached garage).
Had Wills’ trial counsel moved for a judgment of acquittal on the basis
there was insufficient evidence to support a finding that at the time Wills
entered the garage there were no persons present in or upon the occupied
structure, it would have been overruled by the court because the owner and
his family were present in the residence at the time of the burglary.
Wills also claims his counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the
jury instruction used by the district court on the same ground; that the
living quarters were a separate and independent occupied structure from the
attached garage. The instruction as given stated:
The State must prove all of the following elements of Burglary in the
Second Degree as to Count I:
1. On or about the 12th day of August, 2003, the defendant or someone he
aided and abetted broke into or entered the residence at . . . .
2. The residence at . . . was an occupied structure as defined in
Instruction No. 29.
3. The defendant or the person he aided and abetted did not have
permission or authority to break into the residence at . . . .
4. The defendant or the person he aided and abetted did so with the
specific intent to commit a theft therein.
5. During the incident persons were present in or upon the occupied
structure.
If the State has proved all of the elements, the defendant is guilty of
Burglary in the Second Degree. If the State has failed to prove any of the
elements, the defendant is not guilty of Burglary in the Second Degree and
you will then consider the charge of Attempted Burglary in the Second
Degree explained in Instruction No. 21.
(Emphasis added.)
Wills’ claim is without merit. As we have discussed, the residence is the
one and only “occupied structure” under the facts of this case. Had Wills’
trial counsel made this objection to the instruction, it would have been
overruled.
Therefore, Wills’ trial counsel is not ineffective for failing to move for
a judgment of acquittal or objecting to the instruction because there was
no legal basis for the motion or objection. See State v. Hochmuth, 585
N.W.2d 234, 238 (Iowa 1998) (holding trial counsel was not ineffective for
failing to raise an issue that has no merit).
IV. Disposition.
We affirm the judgment of the district court because Wills’ trial counsel
was not ineffective for failing to raise meritless issues.

I will speak for myself, as I always do.
I don't know for sure, but I think Kent is messing with you. I could
imagine someone forging an opinion and putting it on a private web site,
but I don't see how a completely false, forged opinion gets published in
the official and regional reporters. There are channels by which they
receive the official decisions released for publication, and I think it
would be near-impossible to slip a fake court decision through.
If Kent did do that, it would likely be a felony, I imagine.
However, if Kent is the Kent that Ted thinks he is, I don't see how he's
not locked up. That's one issue that Ted (or anyone) hasn't been able
to satisfactorily address.
Yes, and?

I dared you to turn me in. You won't because you know the
truth. It's OK. Really. Some day you'll be mature enough to be able
to admit the truth when you know it.

So it must be true them, if far better have called you far worse than a
lying felon.
So Kent forged the entire underlying criminal case, police records, court
records, trial transcripts and
all, then forged the Appellate Ruling which DENIED his appeal as being
without merit ?

So if it is in the official channel, then Kent Wills is the convicted

So is there a Kent Wills in the Iowa prison system right now? It would
be rather easy to confirm by contacting the Iowa Dept. of Corrections.
I believe the technical term for that is "lying."

Well, you may not see how he's not locked up, but the Iowa Department
of Correction website says that Kent Bradley Wills (born 1/8/69, which
I believe Kent has acknowledged is his actual DOB) is currently on
probation for Burglary 2nd Degree (C Felony) until 1/16/2009. Given
that, the fact that you "don't see how" doesn't really count for that
much.
This may account for Kent's unwillingness to post his firearms permit.
(So Kent, did you forge the records on that web site as well?)
Or by looking at their web site, which states that Kent Bradley Wills
(dob 1/8/69) is currently on probation for Burglary 2nd Degree (and an
unspecified aggravated misdemeanor) until 2009.
Wow, you're obtuse. We've already established you don't understand the
concept of identity, and this furthers it.
If this is an authentic court decision, all that it proves is that the
case involves someone who, in that case, used the name Kent Wills.
Whether that is the same person as the Kent Wills that posts here has
not been proven. Could it be the same one? Sure - Kent Wills isn't the
most popular name (though its not entirely unique, either). But no one
has explained how this Kent is free to post on Usenet, much less not
incarcerated, if he is the same one who was convicted of burglary.
That's why they take fingerprints when someone is arrested, so that the
prints can be used to get their criminal record and not just their name.

Actually, that you agree with me is causing me to doubt myself. There
must be a flaw in my argument somewhere. Or you're finally seeing the
light.

It can be confirmed without contacting them - this is public information
available on the internet.
The Probation Dept. should be able to confirm where, exactly, that Felon
resides.
Is it?

And the DOB, and the Address, and the Biomorphic descriptors.

So the asshat who posts here as Kent Wills may not be Kent Wills at
all, he/she may actually be Larry the Legal Imbecile.

As tjab has asserted, THE Kent Wills of Iowa Felony infamy is currently
on PROBATION, not incarcerated.
A simple call to the Probation Dept. would confirm exactly where this
convicted felon lives,
and with whom.

So after a complete trial, conviction, then an appeal and denial, the
cops/courts wouldn't
have the correct FBI print ID/Name record to ammend/append to the complaint,
eh Larry?

Already done.
Now what twisted extenuation are you going to pull out of your ass?
Why would a self-proclaimed law&order prosecutor defend a Felonious ex-drug
addicted Simpleton from Iowa ?
The implication there is that he does own/possess firearms, which would
be not only a serious violation of his probation, but an additional Felony
charge with some rather stiff mandatory minimum prison sentence attached.
Got any guns in the house, Kent?
No fair claiming they are actually your wife's weapons.

Don't forget the entry on the Iowa Department of Corrections web site!
All in all, it must have involved quite a bit of work. I wonder if he

Since I've not lied (if I had, you would have pounced on at
least one of my MANY requests for a cite), I've not needed to keep
track of any.
You, on the other hand, continue to offer evidence that you
are mentally ill. As such it is safe to state you either are mentally
ill, or want everyone reading to think you are.

At this time I could be on parole, but since I've never been
to prison (visiting Alcatraz doesn't really count), I can't be on
parole. And no one with all those convictions (a total of four or
five, depending on who's posting) is going to get away with probation.
Especially given Iowa's sentencing laws.
No one's been able to address the fact that I am able to do
things a convicted felon can't. Like be registered to vote, for
example.
Yes, a felon can *register* to vote, but not legally. And it
would be Jonez/vox poLIAR/Ultratwit stupid to offer evidence of being
registered to vote if being such is illegal.

At this time it would be possible for one convicted in 2003
(or was it 2004, you have listed both) to be on parole. The problem
is, I've not been to prison. Save for a tour of Alcatraz, I've never
stepped foot inside of one. I don't have any plans to visit one
either.

I thought I explained that.

That should make it easy. When I searched my name, two other
names came up. Kenneth Dean Welsch and Kandi Marie Wilks.
I'm pretty sure I'm not Kenneth and 100% certain I'm not
Kandi. I have the wrong innie and outie parts to be her.

You wouldn't have noticed right away (it takes some digging),

doing so from a hotel that, in addition to falling apart, had no

A 10 year sentence. Under Iowa law, the offended MUST serve
at least one third of their sentence before they can even ask for
parole. That's why Ted started claiming I'm on probation.

That's not what the Iowa Department of Corrections web site says.
According to that web site, Kent Bradley Wills is on probation
(not parole) until 2009, for felony burglary and an unspecified
aggravated misdemeanor.

We're supposed to believe that you would forge (or cause to have forged)
Iowa State criminal records for yourself, but yet are too honorable to fake
a fundraising letter from the Republican National Committee?
Post that weapons permit, ok? And don't blank out the date.
A moot point, since according to the Iowa Department of Corrections,
Kent Bradley Wills, convicted of felony burglary, is on probation
(not parole) from Jan 2004-Jan 2009.

Odd. When I entered my name, I got two other names. They're
kind of close to my name.
When I entered my full name (middle name included) and date of
birth, I got no results.
As an interesting, IMO, aside one of the names is Kandi Marie
Wilks. She's no longer on parole (it ended 12/26/2000) yet her
information is in the system. Odd that I'm not, huh? I mean,
according to you, I'm still "on paper". I should be there before
Kandi.
Bet you avoid this and post something that has NOTHING to do
with the issue I've raised.

You already admitted you were wrong. It's too late to change

I still don't see the reason for you posting all of the returns at the

an indication that you have issues.

Several, though most are civil war era or older. You couldn't

Dang, David. Obsess much?
No need, as Larry pointed out, their records are also on the web. And
those records say that Kent Bradley Wills is on probation until 2009.
Is that your middle name, Bradley?
Yes, Soundex results. However, the name Kent Bradley Wills also comes
up, as anyone who goes there and looks up "Kent Wills" will quickly
discover. With a birthdate that I think (correct me if I'm wrong)
you've acknlowledged to be yours. Check it out, Larry. Apparently
felony burglary doesn't necessarily mean prison time in the state
of Iowa.
