Chicago Telugu bidda Srinivasa Erramilli has lost his court fight for acquittal and a new trial in the Southwest in-flight sexual groping case.

U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow of the Illinois District Court (Eastern Division) recently rejected Erramilli’s petition against the jury verdict that found him guilty of abusive sexual contact of his co-passenger on board a Southwest flight from Las Vegas to Chicago in July 2011.

On December 13, 2012, an Illinois jury convicted Erramilli of sexually groping the inner thigh of a Chicago area woman while they were seated next to each other on the Southwest flight.

Court Fight

In two court filings on January 31, 2013, Erramilli argued that his conviction was based on inadequate evidence and asked for acquittal and a retrial.

Erramilli also requested that the court vacate the jury’s conviction on count II for abusive sexual contact and enter judgment on the lesser included misdemeanor charge of simple assault.

The difference between the two charges is that simple assault omits the intent to cause sexual arousal element. Continue reading »

Telugu Bidda Raghunandan Yandamuri's Trial Begins on Sep.9, 2013The court system in Montgomery County, PA on Tuesday set September 9, 2013 as the start date for the trial of Andhra Pradesh native Raghunandan Yandamuri.

Telugu bidda Raghunandan Yandamuri, 27, has been charged with the murders of his neighbors, 10-month-old Saanvi Venna and the baby’s 61-year-old grandmother Satyavathi Venna in their King of Prussia apartment on October 22, 2012.

The September 9 date gives six months for Yandamuri’s Public Defender attorney Stephen Heckman to prepare for the trial.

Montgomery County court authorities will shortly start jury selection for the trial, a process that should take a couple of months.

The trial will happen in the court room of Judge Steven T. O/Neill of the Court of Common Pleas of the Montgomery County, PA.

Raghunandan Yandamuri is currently a “guest” of the Montgomery County jail in Eagleville, PA.

Multiple Charges

Besides murder, Raghunandan Yandamuri faces a litany of other charges including kidnapping, burglary and abuse of corpse.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Yandamuri since his alleged crimes are considered particularly heinous and egregious.

Raghunandan Yandamuri has confessed to killing his two fellow Telugus on video but claims their deaths were accidental.

Bizarre Behavior

The 27-year-old man has a bizarre sense of humor, acquired presumably by overdosing on tacky Tollywood films.

After killing the two Vennas, Raghunandan Yandamuri actively joined the search efforts for the kidnapped baby by distributing flyers and participating in a candle-lit vigil.

At his formal arraignment on March 15, 2013, Raghunandan Yandamuri pleaded Not Guilty to all the charges against him.

Like many of his fellow Telugus in America, Yandamuri worked as a software programmer until his arrest on October 26, 2012.

Yandamuri’s gambling woes triggered a poorly hatched kidnapping plot that ended in a catastrophe for the Venna family and his pregnant wife (now back in India).

Even if Raghunandan Yandamuri through some miracle escapes the death penalty, he will never enjoy two favorite Telugu pastimes, gorging on Dum Biryani and reveling in a Tollywood film, since he’s certain to be jailed for life.

Telugu bidda Raghunandan Yandamuri today cold-bloodedly decided to prolong the agony of the Vennas, whose lives he turned upside down by killing their 10-month-old daughter Saanvi Venna and the baby’s 61-year-old grandmother Satyavathi Venna in their King of Prussia apartment on October 22, 2012.

At his formal arraignment in the court room of Judge Steven T.  O’Neill in Montgomery County today, Raghunandan Yandamuri pleaded NOT GUILTY to all of the charges read to him.

Raghunandan Yandamuri

Raghunandan Yandamuri’s Not Guilty plea means the case will go to trial at great pain to the Vennas and great cost to Pennsylvania tax payers.

Montgomery County prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Raghunandan Yandamuri for the heinous crimes.

First Assistant District Attorney Kevin Steele of the Montgomery County DA’s office said there were number of aggravating circumstances that would allow the DA’s office to move forward with the death penalty.

Steele filed two notices seeking the death penalty, one for the first victim Satyavathi Venna and the other for the second victim, baby Saanvi Venna.

Raghunandan Yandamuri, 27, is a software programmer from the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, famous for its delicious Dum Biryani and infamous for its obscenely horrid Telugu films.

In a video confession, Raghu Yandamuri has already admitted to killing Saanvi Venna and Satyavathi Venna but claims the deaths were accidental.

Charges Against Telugu Bidda Raghu Yandamuri

Murder, Kidnapping Charges Against Yandamuri

Media reports have Yandamuri being produced in the court today in an orange prison jumpsuit with shackles on his hands and legs.

Telugu Bidda Loves Life

Raghunandan Yandamuri had no compunction in taking the lives of the two Vennas as a solution to his gambling woes.

But the Telugu bidda desperately loves life for himself.

Raghunandan Yandamuri’s wife was pregnant at the time of the murders and has since returned to India.

If Raghu Yandamuri had plead guilty today he’d have faced the death penalty since prosecutors have already declared their intention to seek the death penalty in the case.

Raghunandan Yandamuri is currently lodged in Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Eagleville, PA since the charges against him are non-bailable.

What Happens Next

Montgomery County court authorities will schedule a pre-trial conference in the near future.

A jury will be selected for the case.

Then Raghunandan Yandamuri’s trial will start.

At the end of the trial, jurors will decide whether Raghunandan Yandamuri is guilty or not of the charges against him.

The final step is sentencing.

The entire process will take several months and may be even a year considering that this is a death penalty case.

Since the Pennsylvania court system is not a Tollywood movie, we do not expect to see any miracles like Raghunandan Yandamuri walking out scot-free.

Even in the unlikely event Raghunandan Yandamuri escapes the death penalty verdict, the Telugu bidda will never again smell the roses, eat Dum Biryani or watch another Tollywood film.

In other words, Raghunandan Yandamuri is doomed to either receiving the lethal injection or spending the rest of his life confined to a tiny cell.

Tamil paiyan Sundar Pichai is the new commander of Google’s world-conquering, Apple-crushing battle known in common parlance as Android.

Sundar Pichai is New Head of AndroidSundar Pichai – iOS Ball Buster

Pichai hails from Tamil Nadu, a South Indian state with a bizarre fondness for worshiping immigrants like the Marathi Rajinikanth, the Malayalee M.G.Ramachandran, the Kannadiga Jayalalitha and the Hindi pumpkin Khushboo.

Just in case all ye Caucasians, African-Americans and Hispanics are curious, Sundar means handsome and Pichai stands for begging in the Indian context!

So you wouldn’t be wrong to refer to Sundar Pichai as Handsome Beggar in English although you’d be stretching the meaning of ‘handsome’ given this bugger’s Giraffe-like facial structure! ;) Continue reading »

If Telugu bidda Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu is indeed the killer of his wife and young children, then he certainly chose the right American state (Michigan) to commit the three heinous murders.

Even if Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu is extradited from the great Indian state of Andhra Pradesh (the famed land of the mouth-watering Dum Biryani, the heroic Allu Arjun and the divine NTR), brought to the U.S. to stand trial and found guilty, Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu will still escape the lethal injection.

That’s because death penalty has been unconstitutional in Michigan since 1963.

So even if Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu is convicted of the murders, he will be housed for the rest of his life in a state prison, fed three meals a day and his medical expenses taken care, all at a cost of $36,000 per year to American tax payers. And that’s not including the cost of a Public Defender if Nerusu does not have the money to hire a lawyer to defend him.

Now isn’t that a bigger win than holding the winning Powerball or Megamillion jackpot ticket!

Ides of October

Four years back, Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu allegedly committed the triple murders of his 37-year-old wife Jayalakshmi Nerusu, 14-year old daughter Tejasvi Nerusu and 12-year old son Siva Kumar Nerusu on October 13, 2008 at their Wexford Townhome on Novi Road and W 13th Rd in Novi, Michigan.

Soon after the alleged murders, Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu fled to Hyderabad in South India via Frankfurt.

Jayalakshmi Nerusu, her daughter Tejasvi Nerusu and son Siva Kumar Nerusu were cremated at the Charles Step Funeral Home in Redford, Michigan on November 2, 2008.

Like March for Julius Caesar, October seems to be a deadly month for the victims of some Telugu biddas. Raghunandan Yandamuri’s horrific killings of the Vennas in 2012 were also carried out in October.

Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu Arrested

The Novi Police Department found the three dead bodies with head and neck injuries on October 27, 2008 while responding to a “welfare check” requested by a relative of the Nerusus.

The Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office issued an arrest warrant for Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu husband/father of the victims on November 3, 2008 in the triple murders.

But Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu was not an easy guy to nab and the Telugu bidda managed to elude the police for over four years.

Finally, the Telugu bidda’s luck ran out.

Following the joint efforts of Novi Police Department, FBI, U.S. Department of State, Interpol and Andhra Pradesh state Police, Lakshminivasa Rao Nerusu was arrested around February 20, 2013 near Hyderabad.

Unanswered Questions

How Lakshminivasa Rao managed to evade the police for four long years remains a mystery. Continue reading »

Raghunandan YandamuriHappy Birthday, Raghunandan Yandamuri!

Notorious Telugu bidda Raghunandan Yandamuri’s 27th birthday passed off (hopefully) quietly today in a cell at the Montgomery County jail in Pennsylvania.

Until today, every February 21 must surely have been a joyous occasion for the ambitious software programmer, who hails from the glorious state of Andhra Pradesh.

A day of celebration and cheer with Dum Biryani, sweet Rice Payasam, spicy Gutti Vankaya and other delicacies crowding the dining table and ending with an Allu Arjun movie on the DVD player.

From fairly humble origins, the young man had completed his engineering degree and ‘made’ it to America where he worked as a software programmer.

But his 27th birthday must have been a deeply depressing occasion for the young man, a day filled with reflection and introspection.

After all, so much has changed for Raghunandan Yandamuri in the last four months since he went to his office in King of Prussia on the morning of Monday, October  22, 2012 and typed up the below ransom note to extricate himself from his gambling debts.

Raghunandan Yandamuri Ransom Note

No more Happy Birthdays

That fateful day, October 22, 2012, changed everything for Raghunandan Yandamuri.

On that Monday, the Telugu Bidda’s callous, cold-blooded greed led to the deaths of 10-month-old Saanvi Venna and the baby’s 61-year-old grandmother Satyavathi Venna in their Upper Merion Township, PA apartment.

Those twin horrific deeds sealed Raghunandan Yandamuri’s fate.

No more Happy Birthdays ever after for the Telugu bidda.

No More Dum Biryani, No more Rice Payasam and No More Smiles for Raghunandan Yandamuri for the rest of his life.

Now Raghunanda Yandamuri spends his time in jail wondering whether his ultimate fate is execution by lethal injection, a highly likely event.

Raghunanda’s wife was pregnant at the time of  his gruesome attack on the Vennas.

And Raghu Yandamuri would definitely be glad to know that in an online poll the majority of voters wanted his child to be given a fair chance.

Life in Montgomery County Jail

Like in most jails and prisons in the U.S., the Montgomery County jail too is crowded.

The diet is spartan, assaults on prisoners not uncommon and medical facilities below par.

Raghunandan Yandamuri’s plight must be even more precarious than that of other inmates since child-killers are held in great contempt by other prisoners and often viciously assaulted.

It’d be a mighty big surprise if Yandamuri has not suffered multiple assaults already in the Montgomery County jail.

The Montgomery County Common Pleas Court has fixed March 15, 2013 as the date for Telugu bidda Raghunandan Yandamuri’s formal arraignment at 9AM in Courtroom 5.
