I stopped by to check on things, but didn't stay for a story. An investigator told me they are going through a number of prosecution witnesses providing testimony about DNA. I'll check back tomorrow to see how things are progressing.

CALIFORNIA SEAFOOD CORPORATION SENTENCED TO PAY $1 MILLION FOR FALSE LABELING OF SEAFOOD PRODUCTS

LOS ANGELES - Seafood Solutions Inc., a Torrance-based corporation, was sentenced today to pay $1 million in fines and community service payments for its role in the false labeling of frozen fish fillets.

The corporation was fined $700,000 and ordered to make a community service donation of $300,000 to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The money is to be used to fund projects related to methodologies, databases and other research into the identification of marine organisms. In addition, the company was sentenced to three years of probation, was ordered to forfeit all remaining inventory of the falsely labeled fish and to develop and implement a corporate compliance plan.

The sentence stemmed from the conviction of Seafood Solutions on July 25, 2011, on a single count of trafficking in fish knowing that the fish had been transported and sold in violation of the U.S. Lacey Act. Specifically, the fish was Pangasius hypophthalmus, a species in the catfish family that were misleadingly labeled as "Paradise Grouper" and "Falcon Baie Grouper." Seafood Solutions was one of three defendants named in the same charging document. Co-defendants Chau-Shing (Duke) Lin, and Christopher Ragone also entered guilty pleas on July 25, 2011, according to plea agreements.

Duke Lin, 64, of Rancho Palos Verdes, pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking in fish when in the exercise of due care he should have known that the fish had been transported and sold in violation of the Lacey Act. Duke Lin also pleaded guilty to one count of misbranding food. Christopher Ragone, 50, of Santa Ana, pleaded guilty to two counts of misbranding food. Lin and Ragone are scheduled to be sentenced on February 13.

According to the plea agreements, in approximately June 2004, Seafood Solutions began to sell a fish it declared to customs as "ponga." The fish being imported as ponga was Pangasius hypophthalmus, a species in the catfish family. The fish was then sold under the brand names, and in boxes labeled in part as, "Paradise Grouper" and "Falcon Baie Grouper."

Between July 2005 and February 2006, a wholesale distributor that had purchased this product returned approximately $411,194 worth of the product labeled as "Paradise Grouper" and "ponga" or "Falcon Baie Grouper" and "ponga" because the wholesale distributor's customer mistakenly believed that the fish product was grouper. Seafood Solutions agreed to be invoiced for and received the returned product, knowing that it had been inaccurately labeled. Defendants Lin, Ragone and Seafood Solutions knowingly again sold and transported the fish in interstate commerce even after its return from the customer, knowing that it was misleadingly labeled. From February 2006 to April 2006, Defendant Ragone sold approximately $2 million worth of Pangasius fillets knowing that the product bore the "Paradise Grouper" and "ponga" labels and was thus misleadingly labeled.

The case was investigated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Law Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The case is being prosecuted by the Environmental Crimes Section of the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.

The local contact on this matter is Assistant United States Attorney Joseph O. Johns, chief of the Environment Crimes Section in the U.S. Attorney's Office, (213) 894-4536.

Here I am unable to sleep for the second night due to all this craziness.

I had put a little story on Facebook regarding this. I couldn't just sit there and not have an opinion of my own little town.

See, growing up here you have three things that keeps Wilmington in the news.

1) The Port
2) The Refineries
3) The violence

I've always said that our town needs to be funded to have more activities. It's sad to say our community is not as involved and our Mayor is never present. Things were quiet and all of sudden since this girl's death things are popping up.

I prayed heavily last night because this little town is all we're left to, so thank you for answering them and letting me know more will be done.

Our town never had like a town meeting and I wouldn't even know where to start but I do believe we all need to come together and do more besides being on the map for the 3 main things I told you about.

I think that Wilmington should do the same think that Redondo Beach did in 1995 with the Redondo Beach Project. They basically set in place an injunction on everyone and didn't allow them to enter a 24 block radius. RBPD enforced this to the fullest. Along with the RB citizens Redondo is now a great place to live. I think that Harbor Division should make a much stronger version of this.

Wilmington has the potential to be more. We need to nurture our youth, instill a confidence that allows them to do right by themselves and others, If we instill this in the formative years there will be no need to worry when adults because the foundation had been place.

My heart breaks watching these young boys self destruct, following a path paved by lost hopes and dreams. My little brother-in-law is serving a few months for weapon charges. When you ask him why he carried a semi automatic, he with cold eyes will reply, "For protection. Watching my dad and brother get shot in front of my house would change anyone and I am no different. If no one will protect me then I will."

Now how is this right. His dreams shattered because of our failures; our community's failures. His childhood gone; washed away with each blood soaked block.

Wilmington is covered corner to corner with candles, crosses and carnations. The constant reminder of death. Mobs of photographed tee's baring the names of loved ones lost. Friends losing their brothers and sister, children losing their parents and mothers placing their children in plots intended for themselves.

And this is Life in Wilmington....not a life to live....

All greatness overshadowed. What beauty this city carries is fading with each article printed in the crime section.

Time to reclaim what is rightfully theirs and take back their city. The blood shed needs to stop. Police need to enforce laws and stop this war among the children.

The Redondo Beach Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on Friday, January 27, 2012 at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

DUI checkpoints are a proven enforcement tool effective in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes. Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when well-publicized checkpoints are conducted often enough.
