Can anybody out there tell me what the date and location was for Arthur's arrest at the Mexican airport? I remember reading that A. had absolutely no explanation for why he was awaiting someone's arrival from Tenn. It was a brilliant FBI sting. My dear pal wants to open her book with that scene and needs the reference.

[HeartofTexas]

Here's what I found, but you may want to do some more digging. This article was originally dated January 5, 2006, so I'm not sure the exact date AM was arrested, since it refers to Thursday in the article.

Early Thursday morning, Perry March’s father Arthur was arrested by U.S. and Mexican authorities near his home in Ajijic, Mexico and taken to Guadalajara. By Thursday night, he was in the United States. Both men are facing charges of conspiracy to kill Lawrence and Carolyn Levine, the parents of Janet March.




Arthur March is being held in Houston, Texas. Deputy District Attorney Tom Thurman tells NewsChannel 5 that it depends on whether or not he waives extradition when Arthur returns to Nashville. Thurman says if he waives extradition, he could be back as soon as Friday,or within the next ten days. But if he fights it, it could be several weeks or months.

A witness to Thursday morning’s arrest said it happened in similar fashion to Perry March’s arrest in July of last year, in which several men drove up and took him right off the street in front of his favorite doughnut shop.

It’s an arrest that does not come as a surprise. Deputy District Attorney Tom Thurman has said he wants to try Perry and Arthur together in the conspiracy case. It now looks like that will happen. "I've only heard that Art has been picked up by three guys in a red truck. That's all I know at this point," said Dale Palfrey, a reporter at the Guadalajara Reporter newspaper.

Apparently January 5, 2006 is the correct date (although I would still verify that for yourself).

Early on the morning of January 5, 2006, Perry March’s father, Arthur March, was arrested by U.S. and Mexican authorities near his home in Ajijic, Mexico. Arthur was taken to Guadalajara and within days, he too was in the United States facing charges of conspiracy to kill the Levines.

How about that yawning Perry, being presented as a victim? Didn't you all just love that? As far as my dearly departed mther goes, anyone who yawn without covering his/her mouth is guilty of everything that he's charged with.

yeah, Perry wouldn't even look at the judge Dozier sentenced him...lol, what a piece of scum!!...i'm happy with the 56 yrs...IF he gets out in 30 yrs he'll be an old old man....hopefully he'll just die there...

[HeartofTexas]

Wow, can't believe I missed this yesterday, but it's great seeing it today. I'm pretty happy with 56 years, too. Thirty years is a lonnnng time, and PM will be an old man when he gets out. Goodbye to scum.

I somehow missed this... did anyone else see it? The man has more gall that 500 people.

Perry March files lawsuit claiming former law firm owes him money



Weeks after being convicted of killing his wife, former Nashville lawyer Perry March filed a lawsuit from jail Thursday arguing that his former law firm may owe him "a substantial sum of money."

The suit, filed in Davidson County Chancery Court, names several lawyers who formerly worked with him, including his former father-in-law, Lawrence Levine.

(snip)

With the return address listed as the Metro Jail, the eight-page hand-written lawsuit asks the court to force lawyers at the firm of Levine, Orr & Geracioti to provide a complete account of all monies paid to him while he was in their employ. He also asked the court to order the firm to provide him an accounting of all funds and bank accounts where March has an interest.

Thanks, that is good.Doesn't matter how old you are if you are culpable. He is, time has run out on his culpability. Pay for this Arthur and if you pay with your life that is good too. Then, answer to our Lord. No free passes for murderors or those that seek to conceal. Nor those that conspire further.

This is one family that never needs to breed again.

Janet's children will forever in their hearts know and will forever in their hearts know that her legacy will carry forward. To the Levines if you ever read here...we are with you in your spirit. We are with you in your resolve. Not a single moment did I doubt what you went through and the abhorrent behavior of these cretins. I am so sorry for your pain.

I hope everyday has some sunshine. I hope that you know that Janet is in our hearts. I hope you know that someone out there thinks about you.

Beyond jaw-dropping. I no longer think of Carmen as an innocent victim whilst she was threatening Janet's brother!

The saddest part of all of it is poor Samson and Tziporah. I really hope they can find some sense of normalcy after everything Piggy, er Perry has put them through. I hope he has already been made someone's b***h!

[close_enough]

The US attorney today decided not to prosecute March in federal court on murder conspiracy charges.

A trial was scheduled for October.

March was already convicted in state court of those same charges, plus the murder of his wife Janet.

He was sentenced to 56 years in state prison.

Do you know if the American courts took into account his money and property in Mexico?

In any case, I'm glad he can't afford an expensive attorney for the appeals process. (Not that it would help anyway!)

sounds like Judge Dozier didn't?? :silenced:

In court, the district attorney showed documents that March was planning on opening a bank account in Belize with an opening deposit of $100,000.

The documents also showed a plan to deposit $2,000 a week beginning six years ago.

The DA also presented taped conversations where March hinted to his wife that he had serious money stashed away.

However, Dozier said that evidence wasn't enough, and suggested March may have money stashed, but it did not prove anything.

The judge wrote the following in Tuesday’s ruling:

"There has been no showing to the court that the defendant has access to any of the funds or that they even exist."

If there are assets in Perry and Carmen March's name, the court cannot order Carmen March, who is living in Mexico, to liquidate assets to fund March's appeal.

good riddance....imo

[RefLib]

I hope that the Levines do not allow either of Arthur March's two other children to take the grandchildren to any sort of memorial. Ron seems ready to pick up where his father left off.

If the kids do want to go to a memorial they should be escorted by the lawyer who is their advocate or a member of the Levine family.

Considering what Arthur March has done to the extended family it might be best if they just skipped having any service. He should have told Perry to turn himself in over a decade ago, and if Perry refused, he should have called the police himself. What a family history.

[yadler]

I couldn't agree more. Arthur not only should have turned his murderous son in to LE, he also should have asked Perry to leave the Mexican retirement venue so as not to injure his reputation. Bottom line: Arthur was a thug and Perry learned from his lap. I couldn't possibly imagine the Levines allowing their grandchildren to attend a memorial service, considering that he went after/chased them with a gun and threatened them "you'll never get out of Mexico alife." What, are you kidding?

March case becoming a book

"This story has an almost Shakespearean complexity to it," Glasgow observes. "Family was very important, and not just from the standpoint of Janet's parents, Lawrence and Carolyn Levine, but also from Perry March's standpoint. You had a father, Arthur March, who did what he felt he needed to do for his son, and you had a brother and a sister who stood by Perry for years and years."

As many Nashvillians recently learned, the story has taken on an added wrinkle with the Dec. 21 death of Arthur March, who was in prison in Forth Worth, Texas.

snip...

"First of all, we've lived in Nashville. We're not coming in from outside and just trying to get a peek at the court files and going back and writing a book. We've been here throughout the 10 years (since Janet's disappearance), we've followed the events and the gossip, and I think we have a sense of the case and how it has played in the community."

snip...

"There's a lot of discussion in the book about the inner dynamics of the investigation that the public has probably never heard before. Things were not always rosy in the police department.

Much more at link.

[yadler]

Is this book being written as a novel?
Many people in Nashville heard and knew of the case of the "missing" Janet March so that just by being a local doesn't mean all that much. I understand that the principal media and LE have never been contacted for interviews by this individual. I suppose that you could get away with that, but interviews with such individuals are a necessary prerequisite for first-hand impressions, re-quoted staments and evidence. So, I ask again, is this going to be a novel? If it is, it'll make rivetting reading.

Remember the weird-looking guy who wore a wire and testified against Perry and Arthur?
The one with the shaved head and the question mark tattoo on his neck?
He made the lead story on the news again last night:
Apparently he failed a drug test given by his probation officer last month, and was to be picked up on the probation violation.
He was at a seedy hotel (Knights Inn, in the armpit of one of the worst parts of town), and when they went to get him, he and his girlfriend (who accused him of domestic assault in October) engaged police in a standoff - from about 4 to about 9 PM.
He finally surrendered, just in time for the late news. He told police he wants treatment for some mental health issues - for an insanity defense, I guess...

Oh, this is wrong on so many levels. He just gets more and more disgusting as each day passes. Personally, I hope the judge throws it out. And, while I'm on my soapbox, I don't think convicted felons of any kind should be able to file any kind of lawsuit (with maybe a rare exception). To me, that should be a freedom lost when those iron bars close behind them. All most of them want to do is harrass others, and filing lawsuits is the biggest way they have to do that - and do it legally.

hes a lawyer, he knows how to work the system. its so pathetic.

his own daddy confessed that he disposed of the body. does it make sense that he did it for a supposed boyfriend? naw, dont think so.

he is showing his age bad...

http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070314/NEWS03/703140438 (http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070314/NEWS03/703140438)


"Former Nashville lawyer Perry March was moved to a maximum-security prison after becoming the subject of an investigation by officers from the Tennessee Department of Correction, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Prison officials refused to disclose the nature of the offense for which March, 46, is being investigated but said he is being held in administrative segregation for 30 days.

Administrative segregation is a more restrictive housing in which inmates have fewer privileges than in the general prison population.

"The placement is for the protection of the institution and other inmates and the community until the decision is made to move him from administrative segregation," said Dorinda Carter, a department spokeswoman.

March is serving a 56-year sentence for killing his wife, stealing from his former law firm and plotting from his Metro Jail cell the killing-for-hire of his former in-laws, Lawrence and Carolyn Levine.

March had been held at the Northwest Correctional Complex, a minimum- and medium-security facility in the far northwest corner of the state. On March 2, he was moved to the maximum-security West Tennessee State Penitentiary near Memphis, after being upgraded to a maximum-security prisoner.

"All I can say is there were concerns of the security of the institution," Carter said. "There's still an investigation going on, so I can't say much more than that."

Prisoners on administrative segregation are isolated from other inmates and required to eat their meals in their cells, where they spend 23 hours a day. They get one hour of recreation daily.

Carter said she did not know how long the investigation would take.

March's lawyer, John Herbison of Nashville, scoffed at allegations that March might have caused trouble in prison.

"It's really ridiculous to suppose that he poses a threat to the institution or the community. It's not as if he has a lot of resources at his disposal," he said.

He said that his client was abruptly moved from one prison to the other and that it was March who had been threatened at his new lockup.

"There is some real concern for his safety at the institution he's been moved to," Herbison said. "Apparently some inmates who appear to be affiliated with the Aryan Nation are unhappy about having a Jewish inmate."

The Aryan Nation is a white supremacist group in the U.S. with numerous members in the nation's prisons.

Carter, the corrections spokeswoman, said she was not aware of threats to March.

"We haven't been given any information that would make us think that he's been threatened," she said.

Janet March, a Nashville illustrator and artist, disappeared in August of 1996. March left the city with the couple's two children, first for Chicago and then for Mexico. In 2005, he was arrested in Mexico and charged with his wife's murder.

While being held in Nashville's Metro Jail awaiting trial, March orchestrated an unsuccessful plot to kill his missing wife's parents, who had campaigned for his prosecution. The plot failed after the fellow inmate March tried to hire to do the killings instead went to authorities.

March was convicted of the crimes last year."

[HeartofTexas]

I wish they would put him in solitary confinement for about a year, with no pencil and no paper and no way to write up yet another legal document to file at the taxpayer's expense.

[anneoakley63]
