LEAGUE CITY Defense attorneys Wednesday attacked the validity of a videotaped confession, saying their bipolar client was off her medication and high on cocaine and ecstasy when she told police she had strangled her mother.
Erin Ashlyn Moffatt, 20, admitted during her interview with League City police that she strangled her mother, Jana S. Moffatt, 47, and helped dump her body in a Brazoria County oil field.
During the second day of testimony in Moffatts murder trial, defense attorney G. Byron Fulk questioned Cory Beyer, the lead investigator in the case.
During her interview, Moffatt agreed to speak to investigators without an attorney, but she said the word lawyer. Fulk said his client asked for legal representation, but the interview continued.
Moffatt, who used drugs and worked at a strip club, had only a ninth-grade education and suffered from bipolar disorder, testimony revealed.

Houston Strip Clubs: Defense: Confession to strangling mom not reality
Published March 4, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsHouston Strip Clubs: 2 Texas inmates set to die in March lose appeals
Published March 1, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsThe court also refused an appeal from Hank Skinner, 47, who faces lethal injection March 24 for the 1993 New Year’s Eve killings of Twila Jean Busby, 40, and her two grown sons at their home in Pampa.
Maxwell, who has a March 11 execution date, and his girlfriend were charged with Lopes’ slaying and were likened to characters in the movie “Natural Born Killers.”
Maxwell’s lawyer did not immediately return a telephone message Monday seeking comment.
The couple was arrested in San Francisco five days after Lopes’ body was found behind a San Antonio strip mall. Driving Lopes’ truck, Maxwell, an ex-convict from Indianapolis, ran a red light in San Francisco, then opened fire on police when they tried to pull him over.
Maxwell and his girlfriend, ex-stripper Tessie McFarland, were both charged in Texas with capital murder. She received a life prison term in a plea deal.
Houston Strip Clubs: Warning for Tiger hecklers
Published February 21, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsWilliams has a reputation for being Woods’ enforcer on the green. He does not tolerate distracting behaviours, going so far as to wrestle a US$7,000 (S$9,800) camera from a fan who clicked a picture of Woods during his backswing and throw it in a pond at one event in 2002.
‘Nothing changes,’ New Zealander Williams told The Sun-Herald newspaper from the Gold Coast in Queensland, where he was on holiday with his family.
‘My job is to give him the best information I can and get him around in the fewest possible strokes. And as I have always pointed out, it is to try and give him a level playing field.
‘I won’t do anything differently. I won’t view him any differently.’
Attitudes towards Woods are already changing. Two employees from a local strip club had to be chased off the property on Friday at the Sawgrass Marriott, where Woods made his televised apology for his ‘irresponsible and selfish behaviour’ as he broke his long silence on the sex scandal that engulfed him last year. — AP
Houston Strip Clubs: Day chasing Tiger not worth remembering
Published February 21, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsRemember way back in November when the National Enquirer broke the story about Tiger’s affairs? Well, Friday morning felt like a five-hour long tabloid. Reporters chased anything they could find (sounds like Tiger, doesn’t it?) in Sawgrass. And sadly, I was out there, too. Not the reason why I got in to journalism.
I knew it when the camera guy asked me that question. I knew it when I saw two women with suggestive Tiger signs standing 50 yards from a day care. I knew it when I stopped a woman walking her labrador to get her take on the scene. The only thing missing were a few streakers, guys doing Irish car bombs and Gloria Allred looking for a few more of Tiger’s hookups to represent.
Everything about the Tiger Woods scandal has felt that way, hasn’t it? The car crash. The porn stars. Mistresses falling out of thin air. Stalkerazzi chasing Tiger’s children around for photos. Me trying to interview a 70-year-old woman about Tiger’s trysts with strippers.
Houston Strip Clubs: Golfer’s Admission Puts Self-Proclaimed Sex Addiction In Spotlight
Published February 21, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI – FOX2now.com) – Tiger Woods’s self-proclaimed sex addiction has drawn new attention to a disorder that some liken to alcoholism and others consider a mere excuse for bad behavior. Experts say few people talk about it, but a lot of people have it. Some say we are a nation addicted to sex. From strip clubs, to phone sex, internet pornography, it seems it is everywhere. There are some, apparently Tiger Woods among them, who take it all a step further. It’s the kind of behavior that implodes people’s lives.

Houston Strip Clubs: Tiger Woods owes his mistresses nothing, Joslyn James and Gloria Allred press …
Published February 21, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsTiger Woods mistresses are not victims, if anything, they are immoral women who slept with a married man and if they had any decency, shame, or one shred of self-respect they would stop appearing in front of the camera telling the world that they are classless women who sleep around.

Tiger does not need to address them, and if he were to have full restoration with his wife, Elin Woods, it would be best for him never to speak to them again.
Tiger did not commit a crime, he has not violated these women and he did not rape anyone. These women ( including strippers and porn stars) knew exactly what they were doing when they went to bed with a married man.
Houston Strip Clubs: DR. BOYCE: The Guts Behind Tiger Woods’ Press Conference
Published February 21, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsThere were more scores to settle in addition to the beef Tiger has with the American public. There was the one with Accenture, the company that dropped Woods right after the scandal broke. By having his press conference during one of Accenture’s events, he stole all of the golf-related headlines away from them. The golf writers chose to boycott, but that matters as much as the stripper’s union boycotting a church service. The truth is that golf writers don’t matter to mainstream America, only CNN, NBC, ABC and all the other networks that have every inch of Tiger’s attention.

… I want to say to each of you simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for the irresponsible and selfish behaviour I have engaged in.’
And so began a sporting comeback as eagerly anticipated as any of modern times, although Woods said he was unsure when he would return to competitive golf.
The disgraced golfer and the sport’s biggest star read for 13.5 minutes from a prepared statement as he faced a group of 40 family members, including his Thai mother, and close colleagues at a tightly-controlled event at the TPC Sawgrass resort, the home of American golf.
Conspicuous by her absence was Elin Nordegren, the Swedish model, the mother of Woods’ two children and the wife whom he repeatedly cheated on with more than 14 women, including a string of porn stars, strippers and waitresses.
Houston Strip Clubs: Tiger Woods to Break Silence Friday Morning
Published February 21, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsAfter three months of silence, Tiger Woods is expected to speak. He is scheduled to make a statement at 10 a.m. on Friday. People close to him say he will apologize for his behavior and discuss plans for the future. He is not expected to take questions.
Woods has managed to stay out of the spotlight ever since news of his infidelity broke Thanksgiving weekend when he crashed his SUV outside his home. Since then several women have come forward claiming they were sexually involved him.
Pictures from the location of where Woods will be speaking popped up on Twitter Friday morning, one showing strippers with a sign that read, “Tiger, can I be #16?”

Houston Strip Clubs: Stirred and Shaken: The Velvet Melvin’s Grapefruit Delight
Published February 17, 2010 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsBack in the good column, the Melvin’s staff and regulars seem friendly. While Katie’s behind the bar making me a Grapefruit Delight (the “best shot ever”), I strike up a conversation with a guy named Matt. Turns out we’re the same age and went to the same private school, though he started the year after I left for HISD. After high school, Matt got a real job, hated it, bummed around Colorado for a while and is now back in Houston figuring things out. I ask Matt about my old friend T.; couldn’t have predicted it in fourth grade, but apparently he’s become a big fan of kinky group sex. And me, I’m just knocking out some research for a booze column before going on a hunt for an amputee stripper. Hail, St. John’s!
