IS there a more contemptible criminal in St Helens than heartless thief David Lawson?

Lawson provoked outrage last year when he was caught stealing cash from a Salvation Army office in Hammond Street, Parr, narrowly avoiding a jail term.

But a court was told last week how the 42-year-old had sunk to new depths by stealing his terminally ill mother’s wedding and engagement rings to fund his chronic heroin habit.

He was jailed for five-and-a-half years last Friday (June 28) after he admitted breaking into the home of his mother’s 75-year-old neighbour and stealing her mobile phone from her bedside as she slept. He also admitted stealing two handbags from his mother’s carers at Parr Nursing Home.

DC Ian Harrison, of St Helens CID, branded Lawson a callous and “particurly heartless” criminal.

“He stole his mother’s wedding and engagement rings and other sentimental items and sold them to pawn shops to fuel his drug habit,” said DC Harrison.

“In one of his offences he broke into a nursing home in the middle of the night and stole from staff who were caring for the elderly residents.

“David Lawson is a particularly heartless thief whose targets included his terminally ill mother and other elderly women in the St Helens area.

“His jail sentence will make St Helens a safer place and brings to a successful conclusion our efforts to bring this man to justice.”

The court heard how Lawson broke into a pensioner’s sheltered accommodation overnight on February 4 and stole jewellery and a purse containing $400. When the victim woke, she also realised that her mobile phone had been taken from her bedside table.

Just five weeks later, two care assistants were finishing their shifts at Parr Nursing Home when they realised one of their handbags had been taken and the other emptied of its contents.

One of the handbags had contained three rings - worth a combined total of $395 - and more than $80 cash.

Lawson, of no fixed abode, was handed a suspended prison sentence last August after stealing cash and a mobile phone from a Salvation Army office in Parr.

Lawson’s mum passed away after he was remanded in custody for the offence.


Cheng also made the point, although she didn’t say it directly,Charming but sophisticated, this long soft popularjeans mesh stunner is the perfect wedding dress for fall! that it’s too early into the life of the Philadelphia Dorm Room Fund to say that it’s not going to help the region’s entrepreneurial community grow. That’s especially true if there are other efforts, such as the Startup PHL Seed Fund, and Drexel Ventures, which was announced Monday, directly trying to do what some people were hoping the Philadelphia Dorm Room Fund would do — encourage young people with ideas for high-potential companies to found and grow them here.

“If we can develop the talent,Like a lot of women,Custom made bicyclesaddles0? we can create interesting companies in Philadelphia and then attract people to come work at those companies … there is a self-feeding cycle,” she said.

“The impasse is it just takes a while to seed.”

O'KEEFE: After Congressman Moran's son resigned (his field director was telling us how to vote multiple times in other people's names) you started to see a begrudging respect because of our results. But let me just say that I have actually sued a journalist for defamation and gotten settlements, which is not an easy thing to do if you're a public figure. You have to prove actual malice. I have actually gotten money from journalists for defaming me and then use that money to fund more investigations. It's really incredible. We've gotten front page retractions at the Washington Post. We've had hundreds of corrections printed on our stories. And nobody in the mainstream media seems to view me as an ally, and my message is "I'm on the same page as you guys." We're trying to be government accountability people. There's a storied tradition of this kind of work going back to Mike Wallace.

RUSH: But they're not today.Has anyone brought a beadsfactory?‎ They're part of it all. Now they're pushing the government agenda. They're not calling into question anybody in power today. Certainly not in the administration. You're it, in doing it the way you're doing it.

O'KEEFE: It's definitely a challenge, and I think that goes back to your point before about not wanting to shake things up. It is political. A lot of it's shared politics and ambition and a pinch of fear. I think it's also just their hands are tied. There's forces of conformity and compliance in our society and ever since I was in college I was a disrupter. You know, kind of in the spirit of, you know, some of these people back in Woodward and Bernstein and Alinsky, you have to be a disrupter, you have to go against the grain,Fast shipping and best prices on ladyhandbag. Buy Now! and I don't see today's reporters wanting to fight with those in power. They almost want to protect them for their source material.

RUSH: Now, don't misunderstand this question, I'm not asking you to toot your horn. I'm asking for an actual self-assessment. How much of an impact have you had,A turquoisebeads is the most formal female attire for social occasions. how successful have you been, and what is your objective in all this?
