As people age and their physical and mental health declines, conservatorships are often considered. If you're not careful, the entire estate can be spent on management costs and abuse can occur. There are things a family can do for better outcomes. Today's guest is Diane Dimond. Diane is the author of four books and is a veteran investigative reporter for radio, TV, and print. Crime and justice is her preferred genre and she broke the Michael Jackson story twice. Currently abusive guardianship and conservatorships are her focus. Show Notes: [0:55] - Diane shares her background as an investigative reporter. [2:48] - Her recent book We're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong is all about the possible pitfalls and risks of conservatorships. [5:15] - Diane explains how guardianship and conservatorship is granted. [6:21] - In a lot of cases, Diane has found that judges assume if conservatorship is being asked for that the family is dysfunctional. [8:59] - Guardians are paid out of the ward's estate and many charge an outrageous amount of money. [10:31] - The most public conservatorship that went wrong was Britney Spears's. But some celebrity guardianship scenarios have been beneficial. [12:29] - Diane firmly believes that guardianship needs to be harder to establish. [14:06] - Anybody can initiate a petition. [17:14] - Once it is in front of a judge, it can become a catch-22 situation. [19:11] - Every state is different and many are starting to pass some reform. Florida in particular is a terrible state for this system. [20:42] - SEAR is a very useful resource if you are in an abusive guardianship situation. [23:07] - It is almost impossible for the ward to make any decisions. [25:50] - It is you against a whole system. [27:52] - Unfortunately there is a lot of criminality that is possible. [29:51] - It isn't impossible for abusers to be caught and punished, but it is not common. [31:59] - There are alternatives to guardianships that really should be considered. [34:21] - If these abusers were punished, they would go somewhere else and commit a different crime, but they would at least leave these vulnerable people alone. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

It's a not entirely merry episode of Media Path with some hard but cautionary truths about guardianships AND, a new Christmas musical that celebrates our festive diversity.Greg Thirloway and Maurice Godin are launching a new musical called Oy To The World, that celebrates the Jewish composers who brought us so many carol classics like Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Oh, Holy Night and I'll Be Home For Christmas. Then, we're speaking with investigative journalist, Diane Dimond whose new book about the dangers of guardianship is required reading in a Post-#FreeBritney world.Oy To The World: Christmas With A Twist will premiere, December 14-23, at North Hollywood's El Portal Theatre:  Greg and Maurice give us a sneak peak into their new show which takes place at a Catskills lodge where the new owner decides to put on a Christmas show. In so doing, Christmas carol backstories emerge. Did you know, for example that Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer is inspired by writer Bob May being teased as a child about his “Jewish” nose? So, yes, not just Jesus, but also Rudolph was Jewish!Diane joins us to discuss her new book, We're Here To Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong. She shares her extensive research into the dangerously secretive and insular “legal” practices which lead to citizens losing control of their finances and their freedom. The guardianship or conservatorship systems in the U.S. are state-run,largely unregulated and increasingly populated by financially motivated predators.As we've learned from Britney, anyone who has saved some money or who is earning money is at risk. Diane offers shocking examples of the system's dysfunction and the victims and devastated family members left in its destructive wake. Diane also offers solutions and tips for keeping yourself and your family members safe. As a generation of Boomers continues aging, it is vitally important that we address, amend and federalize guardianship law.Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending the new Joan Baez documentary on Prime and Apple TV, I Am Noise and a new crazy cult doc mini-series on Max, Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God.Path Points of Interest:Diane DimondWe're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong by Diane DimondGuardianship Central ResourcesDiane Dimond on FacebookDiane Dimond on TwitterOy! to the World: Christmas With A TwistUse Code: FRITZ for $5 discount on any performance!El Portal on FacebookEl Portal on InstagramMaurice Godin on IMDBGreg Thirloway on IMDBJoan Baez - I Am NoiseLove Has Won: The Cult of Mother God

Mark is back and there's a lot to talk about! Trump was in a New York courtroom for the first day of his fraud trial. The minute he arrived outside the courthouse, he started disparaging New York Attorney General Letitia James, saying she's a terrible person and he called the judge, Arthur F. Engoron “rogue” accusing them both of being criminals. In this case, it's the judge who will decide the outcome. The trial, it seems, will give Trump the chance to give daily campaign speeches from the courthouse steps. Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz started the process to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy by filing a resolution that may lead to a no-confidence vote. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and scholar David Cay Johnston will stop in to discuss that and more. Author and investigative journalist Diane Dimond will stop by to talk about her new book, “ We're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong.” The Mark Thompson Show 10/3/23

The explosive definitive account of the Michael Jackson saga, chronicling the King of Pop's battles against child molestation charges from 1993 to 2005, from award-winning journalist Diane Dimond, who broke the story first, over twelve years ago Michael Jackson has long captured the world's attention, first as the dynamic lead singer of the Jackson Five, then during his highly successful breakout solo career. But somewhere along the line Jackson transformed himself into something hardly recognizable and was investigated - not once, but twice - for crimes we could hardly imagine. Even now, after his unexpected acquittal on multiple charges of child molestation, there is a sense that the real truth behind the allegations is not known. The character of Michael Jackson - from his humble beginnings to his rich career and the birth of Neverland Ranch - is destined for great debate among fans, journalists, historians, and psychiatrists for years to come. In the meantime, there is Diane Dimond, the journalist of record on the Jackson case. In November 2003, when the Santa Barbara county sheriff's department conducted another raid on Neverland Ranch, Diane Dimond and her camera crews were the only ones there to capture the moment and report the news to the world. Now, for the first time, Dimond recounts the multifaceted details of the Jackson case, utilizing her extensive notes and sources. What she tells us is a shocking story. Be Careful Who You Love will take you behind the scenes and into the courtroom of one of the most controversial cases of the decade, while giving readers a dramatic glimpse of one reporter's vigilance and unending quest to uncover the truth.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

She appears regularly on the Investigation Discovery Channel to offer commentary and to discuss past cases she has covered, notably: Jeffrey Epstein, OJ Simpson, Robert Durst, Aaron Hernandez, Jerry Sandusky, Casey Anthony, JonBenet Ramsey, Pamela Smart, and the West Memphis Three.

The hit movie I Care a Lot focuses on a fictional lawyer who abuses her clients when she  becomes their legal guardian. The details are reminiscent of what syndicated columnist Diane Dimond found in New Mexico in 2016.  She talked about it on HERE & THERE back then.  But Dillon Bergen of Searchlight NM says some of the very same abuses are still very much with us here in the Land of Enchantment. Reforms put on legal paper seem not to have reached the ground, or the people in guardianship care. 

The special event begins with an exploration of the disturbed psyche of serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, chillingly narrated from his police interview transcripts in Jeffrey Dahmer: Mind of a Monster on Monday, May 25 at 9pm.

On Sunday, May 31 at 9 pm ET, ID will premiere the three-part expose, Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?, exploring the repugnant saga and questionable suicide surrounding the convicted sex trafficker. Then, the mystery and suspense programming event culminates with an explosive tell-all from the TV producer who was embedded with Joe Exotic from the beginning with The Truth About Joe Exotic: The Rick Kirkham Story, on Tuesday, June 2 at 9pm ET. Diane Dimond is one of the few journalists to have mastered the art of her craft across several platforms – radio, television, books and internet publishing. Dimond began her journalism career as a radio newscaster and crime reporter for KOB Radio, before taking over as a news anchor on NPR’s All Things Considered. She then worked as a Capitol Hill correspondent for the RKO Radio Networks, a correspondent for WCBS-TV in New York and the Senior Investigative correspondent for the syndicated program Hard Copy, where Dimond built a reputation as a dogged investigative journalist, breaking the story about claims of child sex abuse against entertainer Michael Jackson. After anchor/reporter stints at CNBC and MSNBC Dimond moved to Court TV, where she again got the exclusive on another case of child molestation allegations against Jackson. She covered the subsequent criminal trial through Jackson’s acquittal in 2005. Dimond’s book, “Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case” is seen as the definitive work on Jackson’s legal troubles.

Burl Barer and partner, Don Woldman, hold court with journalist and author, Diane Dimond. According to the write up on Burl’s site: I’ve always had a weakness for strong women, and there are sure a lot of ’em in broadcasting.
