The Corrupt Arrest, Prosecution, Conviction and Death Sentence of Debra Milke

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Phoenix, AZ—Little did I know when I was assigned to investigate the Debra Milke case by Channel 10 television what I was ahead for me during the next nearly quarter of a century.  I’ve been on this story since the day of her arrest December 3, 1989.  I’ve gone on to produce many stories for local national and European broadcast news organizations. I’ve been sent to Europe twice in connection with this heartbreaking saga. 

Within days of the arrest I obtained a police report authored by homicide detective Armando Saldate and knew immediately his claim of obtaining a confession from Debra Milke was pure hogwash. That was bolstered by a small number of Phoenix cops that said Saldate was a politically connected scumbag that should have been fired years earlier.
In horror, I watched an inexperienced and inept defense lawyer try to defend this young mother in a hostile climate of vile publicity and a hatred campaign.  I could only watch this legal bloodbath from the sidelines and try to get the truth out through a few television broadcasts.
Debra Milke’s show trial was a total sham.  Detective Saldate went out and located acquaintances, friends and even Milke’s own younger sister.  Saldate methodically poisoned the minds of these people with the claim that Milke confessed to monstrous murder of her innocent four year-old son.   After Saldate convinced the witnesses that Milke was an abusive and uncaring mother he’d then tell them he needed their help through court testimony.
Saldate also convinced Milke’s Mother, Renate Janka who came in from Switzerland that her daughter did this evil deed and to go away.  Renata Janka would not return for nearly a decade.
What Saldate did was improperly influence and manipulate everyone he could to remanufacture malicious gossip into sworn testimony.  Human nature provided a vehicle to fixate hate upon Milke.  Saldate invited and auditioned people to exaggerate or convincingly lie as witnesses in court settling the score for what happened to little Christopher Milke.
Then there was that cold demeanor of Debra Milke at her trial.  The woman was understandably an emotional wreck.  She was isolated in jail because of constant threats from fellow inmates.  Under normal conditions there was no way Milke could function as a participant to her own capital murder trial.  There was however a medical solution with the help of modern pharmacology.  The jail doctors drugged her up with enough anti-depressants to turn her in an emotionless chemical zombie.
The jurors, reporters and spectators in court began to talk about Milke’s demeanor because she was void of human emotion.  They were never told about the mind-bending drugs administered by jail medical personnel that successfully curbed Milke’s emotions.
Beyond that there was the win at any and all cost mentality at the Maricopa County Attorney’s office.  During that small time period many innocent lives were destroyed through the corrupt, fraudulent and despicable conduct of a handful of prosecutors.
Who could forget the Buddhist Temple massacre of 1991?  Maricopa County officials used a phone tip from a hospitalized mental patient to terrorize, victimize five young men.  They did everything they could to politically propagandize the case by doing everything possible to send them to Arizona’s gas chamber.
Then there was the cases of Ray Krone the mailman officials framed for killing a Phoenix barmaid. He was tried and convicted twice of murder!  However DNA finally linked a nearby paroled sex offender to the murder and Krone was cleared.
David Hyde was likewise framed and put on Death Row for the East Phoenix brutal murders of a market owner and his popular schoolteacher daughter.  
Taxpayers in Mariciopa County have a better chance of being framed by corrupt officials and put on Death Row than they do to win the Power Ball lottery. One thing for sure taxpayers paid out many millions to the known victims of this government tyranny. 
Aside from the innocent people placed on Death Row there are the presumed guilty where the evidence was overwhelming.  Or was the evidence overwhelming?
Arizona needs to relegate the death penalty to history like Hitler’s Nazi Party.  Our politicians and the officials they appoint cannot be trusted with the power to kill anyone.
It is time for the Justice Department to vigorously follow up on the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals’ call for full investigation of the Milke case for Civil Rights violations.
