The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux tribe, which owns Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, pays this man almost 80,000 per month. He owns multiple homes, arrives to court in a limousine with driver and yet he pleads “poverty” in court.
What was his crime? Instead of calling for rescue when a 16 year old girl was dying of a methamphetamine overdose, he decides to rape her and even keeps others from dialing 911so she died.
The girl died but he can not pay restitution to the family because “one of his homes is in foreclosure.” Hey, we all got problems. I suppose we should feel sorry for this “untouchable” career criminal. He almost went to jail, he owes everybody money, his terrible record of being an abuser and flouting the law now has another tarnish on it. Perhaps the family of the victim should just forget about it. I’m sure his conscience has suffered enough. [sarcasm]
Daniel Edwin Jones served four years in prison for having sex with a 16-year-old Coon Rapids girl 10 years ago as she lay dying from a methamphetamine overdose.
In 2008, he settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Brittany Powell’s mother for $2 million.
His debt to society has officially been paid. His financial debt to Brittany’s family remains outstanding.
“He did not abide by the agreement he signed,” said Brittany’s mother, Victoria Powell. “He’s shown up at certain legal events in his limousine, with his driver, and then in deposition pleads poverty.”
The settlement calls for Jones, 28, a member of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux tribe, which owns Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, to pay the family $500,000 upfront, followed by monthly payments of $10,000 until the debt is paid.
“His income per year is over $900,000,” said Fred Soucie, an attorney for Victoria Powell.
Jones, who has never held a job but receives hefty checks twice monthly from his tribe, has made little progress toward paying the $2 million, Soucie said. Instead, he has claimed in court he is swimming in debt and unable to come up with more than $10,000 per month.
The unpaid legal judgment underscores any number of discussions about victims’ rights and a convicted felon’s obligations to the family of those he has harmed: How much is a human life worth, and when is it paid for in full?
The legal battle has also brought unwelcome attention
to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux, a small but prosperous tribe whose members have made millions from casino revenues. For the Powell family, it’s drawn salt into a gruesome wound they are still struggling to come to terms with.
Jones did not return phone calls seeking comment, but his attorney, Sam McCloud, said his client hopes to negotiate a new payment plan in light of his debts.
“The bottom line is he has very little spendable money,” McCloud said. “… He’s got problems like anyone else. He’s got a house in foreclosure.”
CONSERVATOR HANDLING CASE
In November 2000, as Brittany overdosed on more than twice a lethal dose of meth, Jones took sexual advantage of her at a Burnsville trailer home. At trial, prosecutors alleged that when his cousin and a friend stopped by and found her in obvious distress, Jones prevented them from calling 911.

Brittany, who had told her mother she planned to shake drugs by moving in with her older sister in Kentucky, was dead by the time the group arrived at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. Jones, who was 18 at the time of the assault, was acquitted of her murder but convicted of two counts of criminal sexual assault and one count each of child neglect and child endangerment.
To date, Jones has paid the family roughly $150,000, McCloud said, and his complicated finances are now being handled by a conservator, a third party designated by the tribal council.
“I am very interested in what the tribal conservatorship does with this man’s debt to the family of his victim, and whether or not his debt is going to be honored,” said Soucie, Victoria Powell’s attorney. “It’s hard for me to envision a more heinous act than what this man did to this child.”
In a brief written statement, however, the tribal council denied any involvement in the civil case.
“The issue is a personal one to Mr. Jones. The tribal government is not a party in this matter,” they wrote. “The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community firmly believes that individual tribal members must be accountable for their personal acts; in this matter, Mr. Jones must satisfy his personal obligations to the plaintiffs as adjudicated by the courts.”
In August 2008, Dakota County District Judge Kathryn Messerich found that Jones had breached the settlement agreement reached in May that year by failing to give Powell’s family the $500,000 lump sum upfront. Messerich ordered him to pay by September 2008, which he did not do.
Soucie maintains that Jones has the resources to pay. In fact, he believes Jones has been flashing his deep pockets and disrespect for Brittany’s family by showing up to court in a black limousine and making snide remarks as he leaves the courtroom.
“Jones conveyed and continues to flaunt a ‘you can never touch me’ attitude with broken promises and ostentatious behavior,” Soucie wrote in a November 2009 court filing.
TWO DIFFERENT STORIES
Separate depositions of Jones and his wife, Fabiola Martinez, reveal the Mdewakanton tribe pays Jones roughly $38,000 every two weeks.
In addition to Mystic Lake, the tribe owns the smaller Little Six Casino, the Dakotah Meadows RV Park, several smaller business ventures and 2,800 acres of land in the Shakopee and Prior Lake area.
News for Native Americans, Police Brutality, Government Conspiracies, Corruption, Cover-ups
Soucie said $2 million isn’t such a large sum relative to the $50 million Jones can expect to collect over the course of his lifetime. And he’s flouted legal rulings before.
Jones’ rap sheet includes convictions for fleeing police in a motor vehicle in 2004 and 2001, meth possession in 2003, drunken driving in 2004 and 2002 and underage alcohol consumption in 2004 and 2001.
In depositions, however, Jones has painted an entirely different picture of himself. He said he’s cash-strapped, overwhelmed by debt and demands from creditors and dependent on his wife’s family for basic necessities.
McCloud maintains the tribe plans to reduce his client’s income because the economic slowdown has taken a bite from its casino revenue.
He said the legal settlement has become a Catch-22 for Jones. The settlement, which was negotiated by a previous attorney, called for $500,000 upfront, which Jones had planned to borrow but said he was ultimately unable to do. When that money fell through, the Powell family began charging interest.
“He was making the monthly payments, but it turned out the monthly payments were doing him no good, because they were charging him interest,” McCloud said. “Every $10,000 payment that he made … wasn’t reducing the principal. That essentially means you pay $10,000 for the rest of your life.”
The conservator who now handles his money wants to renegotiate the terms of the settlement, McCloud said.
“(Daniel’s) not trying to run from it. He got bad legal advice that got him sucked into this. He’s not trying to avoid anything. He wants to pay them $2 million,” McCloud said. “If they would accept $10,000 a month until the $2 million is paid, we’d be done with it. The only reason we’re not in the position right now is because his prior lawyer made a deal to pay money upfront without having the money in place.”
TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR
Questioned before a Scott County District Court judge in Shakopee in March 2009, Jones said he was falling behind on mortgage and utility payments. His 20-year-old brother had died two months earlier, and he was paying for the funeral and shopping for a gravestone.
Among his creditors were the Internal Revenue Service, Dakota County, his mortgage lender, the tribe itself and Brittany Powell’s family. He was also paying child support and attorney’s fees related to a custody dispute.
“Lately, (I’m) borrowing money from family members and stuff, friends, when I can’t cover (my mortgage),” said Jones, who said he was having little success urging friends to buy one of his homes from him. “Right now, I’m just in a big slump.”
Jones, who said he had never held a job other than a brief stint with a youth-enrichment program as a kid, said he owned two homes, a Mercedes-Benz, a second car and a fishing boat, though one of the homes was in foreclosure. He planned to enroll in a chef’s school.
Jones has disputed aspects of the civil and criminal cases related to Brittany’s death.
In 2004, he maintained throughout his criminal trial in 2004 that he did, in fact, have sex with Brittany, but it was in the early afternoon, hours before she fell comatose from abusing meth. His attorney at the time said the reason he discouraged his cousin and another acquaintance from calling 911 after they noticed her in distress was because he felt it would be quicker to get her to a hospital by car.
A jury concluded he’d had sex with Powell when she was physically helpless but stopped short of agreeing he supplied the drugs that killed her.
Jones twice appealed his 8 1/2-year prison sentence, arguing it was two years longer than the term mandated by state guidelines. In February 2009, his term was reduced to six years and 10 months. He had already been released from prison in April 2008 after time off for good behavior.
Soucie hopes to convince Jones to pay Powell’s family at least $38,000 every two weeks. He said that if Jones does not increase his monthly payments, he could be held in contempt of court and jailed.
“At this point we have not had that order issued by the judge,” Soucie said.

Interesting to note that he was admitted to jail 2/24/2009 and was released 3/5/2009
Must be nice to have so much money. He’s been buying himself out of trouble his whole life, when will it stop, when he finally kills someone? oh wait…. too late.

DANIEL EDWIN JONES: A Career Criminal With No Conscience
Daniel Jones clearly has no intention of honoring the wrongful death civil lawsuit settlement he signed with advice of legal counsel, agreeing to pay Brittany Powell’s mother Victoria $2 million via a mutually agreed upon payment schedule.
Jones’ caustic, sneering, sarcastic comments deliberately uttered within earshot of Victoria during court appearances are designed to demean and hurt her; a snide and outrageous attempt to increase the pain and sorrow that Victoria endures as she grieves the tragic loss of her daughter.
Jones’ enthusiastic ally is criminal defense lawyer Sam McCloud, famous for admiring and defending drunk drivers but always willing to make excuses for any criminal who tries to avoid the consequences of his criminal conduct.
Jones should be found in contempt of court and sent to prison, and the court should order his conservator to immediately pay Victoria the $500,000 lump sum required by the settlement plus a minimum of $35,000 per month until the entire $2 million financial obligation is paid in full.
Career criminals like David Edwin Jones have no credibility and don’t deserve any favors from the criminal justice system. Jones’ excuses for failing to pay his debt to Brittany’s family are transparently false and ludicrous. Cry me a river, Mr. Jones.

While there is some legal evidence that those who claim to be the rightful tribal owners of that land are frauds (their surname of Crooks is a delicious irony), it’s also true that the tribes in the dakotas are insanely jealous of the Shakopee Sioux who lucked into their obscene wealth while the Indians in the Dakotas still don’t have a pot to piss in.

Your comment is crazy. Well Petters is rich and Enron was run by white males so should all white men over 5O have to pay people back who lost money? Those that won court judgments.

they are a sovereign nation which mean our laws do not apply to them and our rights are forfeited the second we put one foot on their soil. which begs the question. why isn’t a passport required for them to either leave the reservation or for us to go there?
Cut off all federal aid and state aid and charge a fee every time they leave the reservation.

The tribe members do pay federal taxes on there income which is like 35% of what they get. Maybe instead of racino, mn should get what they pay into federal taxes. just a thought. Again this is a individual matter so we cant blame the parents or a tribe for mistakes made by people.

Not one living indian today had ANYTHING stolen from them by a the white man. Why do the indians continue to recieve special treatment today? The only thing preventing them from being productive citizens of this country is the fact that they all seek refuge on their reservation and chose not to go forward and be fruitful. Anyone spending any money in the indian casinoes is just further enabling these people to be the lazy people that stereotypes (somewhat accurately) portray.

Take away the Tribe’s casino rights ASAP, then place this lazy person in prison to do hard labor until his debt is paid!!!! Prison should be hard labor no TVs and murder inside should be punishable by mandatory hanging. MN should have non-Indian casinos as competition, also why aren’t they giving a good majority of their earnings to South and North Dakota tribes, ones that actually resisted the US Army for them? Answer that Shakopee!

perhaps they should have taught thier daughter not to take or use drugs in the first place. How much did she contribute to society before her death? did she have job? Perhaps the united states should be sued for all the Indians that have died due to the army of the u.s. attacking them, man wouldn’t they owe the tribes and families a lot of money. get real greed greed and more greed

seriously? this just goes to show that if you are handed everything on a silver platter and never made to work for anything in your life you just aren’t functional. One more reason why the state of MN should get their hands in on the abundant revenues apparently being paid out to the Indians. See no reason why they should have the monopoly on something just because of what was done to their great ancestors who most of them probably can’t even trace back. If that is the case, why aren’t the ancestors of slaves being given $900,000 a year too. Jeesh- He makes more in one month than I do in a year and he can’t pay his bills? maybe they should garnish it from the tribe. Oh wait – they have their own tribal laws and council so they can’t. stupid!

i guess i don’t know how Indian tribes work but: a) why do they seem to have this guy’s back, and b) who decides to keep paying a felon $80,000 a month to do nothing simply because he’s a member of the tribe?

$2,000,000 judgment
-$500,000 upfront
-$120,00 (12 payments @$10,000 each)
Balance =$1,380,000
That is 69 payments of $20,000. I’m thinking monthly. He would seem to have the income to support that.

Another reason to vote for racino. If this tribe can give 38,000 every two weeks to noncontributing members then the tribe has made more than enough and the monopoly should end.

Unfortunately this is one area where stereotypes do fit. The problem of young people with huge incomes from casino profits getting into trouble with drugs, the law, etc. is repeated at every Indian casino. Tribes do nothing to alleviate the problem. The general attitude among tribes and their members seems to be, “Give me the money and f*%$ you! You can’t touch me. The laws of society do no apply to us.”
This behavior is enabled by all tribe members.
The Last Straw Saint Paul, MN
I was aware that tribe members received “a lot” from the casinos, but no idea it was this much. The fact that these casinos contribute next to nothing back to the state is the last piece of info I needed … I’ll never again step foot into a MN casino. Too many restaurants, etc. in the cities that need our support …

What short sighted moron ever thought up the idea of Indian Gaming. It didn’t empower them, it created garbage like this.
We pay our debt to Indian Tribes by showering them with money and keeping them completely incapable of surviving a modern day existence.
No offense intended, but I’m thinking that in 2010 Indians would not now be following the great herds of buffalo in a peaceful existence the way they had done for centuries whether the white man showed up or not?
Eventually they would have had to modernize like all other native peoples all over earth have done.

A simple solution for stress relief is one word – HUGS. The feeling of being hugged always makes us feel good. Better yet if we find someone that we really would like to hug. Just stop and think about getting or giving a hug ……..don’t you feel more relaxed and warm inside?
When you were a child getting a hug from Mom or Dad was an important part of growing up. Hugs share a closeness and love that isn’t felt any other way. From Grandma to neighbor a friendly hug gives you a feeling of love that maybe words just can’t express. The best part about a hug that it doesn’t need any special high tech equipment – just someone to put your arms around and hold up close.
Teddy Bears are there for a substitute – just in case you don’t have someone handy to hug. Children enjoy going to sleep with their arms wrapped around a teddy bear. It is a way for them to have that special someone close by as they drift off to sleep. A teddy bear gift is always a favorite!
No matter what the age of the person, a teddy bear gift will make them smile and feel better as they are comforting in time of trouble. Because of their softness, Teddy Bears are also great traveling companions and can even be used for a pillow.. A soft teddy is sure to make someone happy!
It is said that giving pleasure produces the same amount of stress relief for the body as receiving pleasure. Spread a little kindness in the world today, and give a Teddy Bear gift and make yourself and others feel more at peace. Teddy Bears want to be part of your life, your home, and your heart.
Remember to Hug Someone Today – maybe your Teddy Bear!

There is a refrain from that favorite holiday song that goes something like this; “the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifted snow”. These days we no longer can rely on a horse’s sense of direction to get us to grandma’s house for the holidays. And relying on dad with his big fold-up map and his exclaiming “I’m not lost” while driving past the same gas station five times will be a thing of the past if you give him a GPS system for Christmas.
Deciding which type of GPS unit to get dear old dad will depend on the type of guy he is. For the outdoorsy type who spends a lot of time in the wilds backpacking, hunting, fishing, or even geocaching a handheld unit is the perfect gift.
For a dad on the go who travels out of town for work, vacations, or other reasons a vehicular GPS system will get him where he wants to go quickly and easily. No more getting lost in unfamiliar cities or during those cross state jaunts.
Here’s a quick look at how and why a GPS will keep dad from getting lost when he ventures away from the safety of his home.
The Global Positioning System is a series of satellites placed in orbit by the United States Department of Defense. The original purpose was to allow military units the ability to keep track of where they are and where they want to go with pin point precision. As the cost of this technology has fallen it has found its way into the consumer market place allowing the average Joe the ability to tap into its power.
The GPS receiver is the piece of this technology that we are interested in. Using its ability to receive signals from the satellites its internal software and algorithms calculates its position usually within several feet depending on its accuracy. It also compares its current location with other mapped data to show you where you are, which way you are going, and how fast you are going.
In a vehicular GPS system it also is able to give directions based on way points its current position and a destination that is designated or pre-programmed into its memory. These directions are given through on screen prompts and in many models voice commands. Having a voice giving directions is nice because it keeps dad’s eyes on the road.
As with everything in the world of GPS technology you get what you pay for. Prices for GPS systems start at around $100 and can go up to $500 or more. A good system that does everything you need will run between $200 to $300. The important thing is to buy a GPS system that does what dad needs it to do and keeps him getting lost whenever he leaves the house.

Millions of people have discovered the usefulness of a handheld GPS receiver. This is particularly true of outdoor enthusiasts whether they are hikers, backpackers, hunters, or geocachers because using the Global Positioning System tells them where they are in the world and how to get to where they want to go. If you are considering purchasing a handheld unit you may already have a good idea what they do but still have questions about which type of unit is best for you.
The first thing you need to know when purchasing a handheld GPS unit is what do you need it for. This is important because most GPS systems are designed for specific purposes. For instance a GPS receiver that is intended for use in a vehicle or boat will have features and data that may not work so well in the wilderness.
A handheld receiver is also smaller then a standard vehicle mounted unit and many can easily fit into your pocket. There is also a weight issue for those who are concerned with how much they are packing weighs. As the technology has progressed these small units have become not only more powerful but also have become much lighter then their predecessors.
Add-ons, accessories, and the ability to download software/data is also an important consideration. Again, this will depend on what you need a GPS for but these are things to consider. Firmware updates keep your GPS up-to-date and fix bugs that have been found in the operating software. Map and data downloads can make your unit more functional for your specific needs. Being able to interface with your home PC or laptop allows you to customize trip information and download/upload data.
The last thing to consider is ease of use and functionality. Are the controls/buttons easy to use? Is the display screen easy to see and read? Is there the option to customize displays with information that is important to your purposes? All questions that need to be addressed when choosing a handheld GPS receiver.
There is no better choice then a Magellan Portable GPS handheld unit when it comes to finding your way in the world. To learn more about Magellan GPS Systems please Click Here.

Among the emerging applications, GPS cell phone is a well known feature in the mobile technology and is in great demand. The cell phones that are enabled with GPS have a higher range and price, but tech savvy users do not bother shelling out few extra bucks in buying them, and the craze goes on. The applications are enhancing manifold, though in practical purposes the usage is somehow limited. Acquiring maps, receiving directions and guide to reach the destination is a significant feature of the GPS enabled phones or devices.
Over all GPS devices are very appropriate for military use to track and control forces, as they help to locate people and targets. It can also be of great help during fog, darkness or some other low visibility situations, and also while traveling as it can be employed to get directions, customized maps to a particular place from the current location. As a result, many vehicles are featured with GPS devices to facilitate travelers taking the shortest and right route.
Today, many cell phones come with GPS and this is increasing as they have the technology to locate a person through their cell phone during emergency. Coast Guard and Navy also use GPS cell phones to locate lost people. Also the device is useful for wilderness explorers, hunters and other outdoor sportsmen as they can use it to navigate to find their way in and out. Surveyors may also have the need for GPS cell phone to survey as well as establish boundaries or other locations. As for entertainment, GPS is also present in the sport game GeoCaching which uses the device to find small treasures or caches in where a person hid the treasure or cache and post the details on a geocaching website, making it a fun and interesting game.
GPS cell phone can have applications supporting over 40 sub functions and this can be beneficial as users can find whatever they want by typing in the name of place. This works similar to Google like search and finds a list of all the nearby places, initiating from the nearest location. GPS cell phone can also be useful while hiking as there is a sub function called Fugawi, that offers information on topographical features apt for camping or hiking, besides the typical map which informs the street name and other related information.
Passing on information to your friends and family or followers about the exact location you are is simply possible by using Buddy Beacon, another sub function of GPS that sends information to your choice of people within a button click regarding your location. Truck tracking for GPS is also new and has shown significant effects in proving that this tracking of vehicles keeps the overhead down and the mileage tracking allows the fleet managers to understand the vehicle maintenance and performance. GPS cell phone is known for its versatility as it also supports amusement with its sub functions such as `Digging to China`, that offers fun and entertainment.

A few years ago, terms like ‘remote desktop’ and ‘remote support’ might have seemed alien to many people. Today they are part of the vocabulary of the fast growing field of web conferencing. While companies are always seeking ways to increase productivity, the current economic slump has imbued this effort with a sense of urgency.
When it comes to business trends, this is a particularly useful one. The Internet has become something of a gift to business that extends far beyond the dot COM boom of the late 1990s. It has helped many companies to reach new customers, as well as to forge partnerships and woo investors.
The most obvious effect of web conferencing is reducing travel costs, but there are also a number of other benefits. Here are a few more reasons why this is a smart business decision:
• Improved delivery of information: In the time it takes to organize a traditional meeting, one could be well underway with web conferencing. Companies can feed vital information to their employees quickly, with minimal impact on workflow. With features like remote desktop, computers can be accessed from anywhere and at any time.
• Meeting modern day challenges: The current business environment demands that companies think globally.

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have evolved since first emerging in 1978 for the US Military. Navstar 1 launched its first signal from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base on February 22nd 1978. Currently, the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing located at Schriever Air Force Base in East Colorado Springs, Colorado manages the global positioning system’s constellation of orbiting satellites. NAVSTAR, which stands for NAVigation Satellite Timing And Ranging, was declared fully operational in April, 1995 and currently consists of 34 satellites.
In the late 1980’s the US Government granted use to civilians of the global position system without charging any fees. This opened up a whole new world for the financial industry, especially with regards to ATM’s and the stock market transactions. In 2004, the next advancement took place with regards to GPS when we were able to have assisted GPS on our mobile phones and GM On Star vehicles. A common feature found on most cell phones sold on the open market today. In 2007, the final advancement happened with real time traffic reports available. A GPS receiver only needs a minimum of 3 signals to calculate the exact position and is able to work in any weather condition, 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year.
GPS is not only available on your cell phone, but it is standard on most vehicles manufactured today and is Bluetooth interfaced. If your vehicle does not have the built-in option, they do make portable global positioning systems that are wonderful if you have more than one family vehicle, or you travel to different cities and have to rent a vehicle once you arrive. The rental car companies charge a daily rate for this “extra” and it takes very little space in your suitcase!

We are living in a world that is technologically advanced and this has allowed every area in life to begin utilizing some of these advancements. One of the fields that have not been left behind in the usage of technology is travel. GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System, a navigation that is satellite-based and that consists of GPS twenty four satellites that have been placed in the orbit by the United States Department of Defense. The satellites encircle the earth two times in a day in a specific orbit and at the same time transmitting signal information to the earth. The receivers of the GPS receive the information and utilize it to calculate the exact location of the user. The receiver will compare the exact time when the signal was transmitted and when the signal was received. The difference in time informs the GPS receiver the location of the satellite. This distance plus that of the other satellites enable the receiver to determine where exactly the user is this being displayed on an electronic map.
GPS has become a darling of many travelers as it assists them to drive even to unfamiliar locations without the need of stopping and asking for direction. Though the driver may be familiar with the place he or she is driving through, GPS is still utilized to calculate the time and the distance that is remaining before one reaches his or her destination. This is helpful as it may assist the driver to make out whether the gas that is in the tank will be enough to complete the journey or filling it will necessary.
Different companies have gotten involved in the production of GPS receivers (pocket sized). Some of these receivers include NL740 manufactured by LG, NUVI 680 produced by Garmin and finally Maestro 4050 made by Magellan. There are some models that have installed traffic data service and for those without, one can utilize a smart phone that runs Google maps which provide identical information. If a driver has options such as Bluetooth, the built-in systems can be utilized to silence the stereo without any human intervention whenever one gets a call.
Using GPS in a trip is very advantageous as one can easily find the place that he or she is looking for and thus save time, money and any form of embarrassment as he or she tries to locate a place. Whenever one needs to find directions to hotels or gas stations, he or she just needs to type the name on the GPS and will be given the exact location. When one maps in an address and follows the route, the GPS will tick off the distance and time to the place without any vagueness.
To avoid any road accident occurrence while the driver is checking the GPS, a voice from the GPS will keep on issuing instructions whenever one types in the name of the location. Sometimes however, the GPS technology may fail thus the information that it offers is not always infallible. It may give directions that are not correct and if one is not so sure, he or she should use other sources of information.
