Federal Jury Convicts New York Man for Interference with Flight Crew and Impersonation of a Federal Air Marshal

NEW ORLEANS, LA—PAUL HENRY BORITZER, a/k/a John I. Michaels, age 46, a resident of New York, New York, was found guilty by a federal jury after a two-day trial of interfering with a flight crew and impersonating a Federal Air Marshal while he was traveling from New York to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, announced U. S. Attorney Jim Letten.

The federal jury found that on February 20, 2009, BORITZER, while onboard JetBlue flight 119, created a disturbance by refusing to obey the lawful instructions of the flight attendants and the Captain. BORITZER intimidated and threatened a flight attendant after he was denied alcoholic beverages during the flight and falsely claimed he was a Federal Air Marshal to the flight crew.

Speaking to this important conviction, U. S. Attorney Jim Letten stated:

“The conviction of an intoxicated and abusive air traveler for federal violations including interfering with a flight crew and impersonating a U. S. Air Marshal will serve as a clear and unambiguous signal that we in federal enforcement have absolutely no tolerance for disruptive conduct which threatens to diminish the efficiency of flight crews and thereby threatens the safety of passengers. Any such conduct will be met by swift and decisive enforcement action by the FBI, U. S. Air Marshals and the U. S. Department of Justice.”

Special Agent in Charge David W. Welker stated:

“The FBI’s authority to investigate crimes aboard an aircraft, to include interference with a flight crew and impersonating a federal law enforcement officer, are taken very seriously. The danger these crimes pose places the passengers in harm’s way, and will therefore continue to be aggressively investigated and prosecuted”

According to Federal Air Marshal’s Service, Houston Field Office Special Agent in Charge Joanne Oxford:

"Federal Air Marshals are law enforcement professionals dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of the nation's traveling public. The Federal Air Marshal Service fully supports the U.S. Attorney's efforts to prosecute individuals who impersonate federal law enforcement officers."

BORITZER faces a possible maximum sentence of twenty-nine (29) years imprisonment and a $1 million fine. U. S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier scheduled defendant’s sentencing for December 9, 2009.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys W. Scott Laragy and Gregory Kennedy.

"Human Torch" Dies After Mall Blaze | NBC Miami

Miami Herald

The woman who set herself on fire in a crowded Miami mall last week has died.

Cecilia E. Casals died yesterday at Jackson Memorial Hospital, five days after setting herself ablaze at the Mall of the Americas, according to the Miami Herald.

The 42-year-old had third-degree burns throughout most of her body after she poured a flammable substance on her body, set herself on fire and walked through the mall last Thursday.

Casals made it out of the mall and into the parking lot, according to witnesses. Several concerned people who saw the amazing and disturbing sight were burned while trying to put out the flames.

"It looked like a big fireball," eyewitness John Torres said. "I know she lost all her clothing."

Casals was eventually extinguished. Police believe Casals was trying to kill herself through self-immolation.

According to her husband, Casals had mental issues and had recently spent extensive time seeking psychiatric help. But court records also show that Casals had legal woes as well and was accused of attempting to kill her ex-boyfriend in 2004 and was still on probation on drug trafficking charges from 2008. The attempted murder charge was dropped.

Woman who set self afire in busy Miami mall dies

MIAMI — A 42-year-old woman who set herself on fire at a Miami shopping mall died less than a week after the shocking scene, police said.

Cecilia E. Casals died Tuesday. Police say Casals covered herself in flammable liquid, set it ablaze and walked about until witnesses used two fire extinguishers to put out the flames.

Miami-Dade police wouldn't divulge any other details Wednesday.

Authorities found Casals unconscious on Aug. 13, with third-degree burns over 75 percent of her body, and airlifted her to a hospital. She was on fire about two-and-a-half minutes.

Court records show the woman had a history of mental illness and had been convicted on prescription drug trafficking charges, The Miami Herald reported. In October, Casals received probation in the drug case.

The Associated Press could not immediately find a phone listing for Casals' husband.

Witnesses said Casals was in a clothing store called Savage Boutique when it happened. Jose Morales, 24, said he was about to pay for earrings for his girlfriend at a nearby kiosk when he heard screams and thought someone had fallen.

He turned around to see the blaze and realized someone was burning.

"This woman is just walking like this, super slow, completely on fire," Morales said, his arms stretched out at his side. "You couldn't see nothing but fire."

Cecilia Casals, 43, went to the Mall of the Americas in Miami, where her daughter worked, and set herself on fire. She was ablaze for about two and a half minutes, during which she reportedly walked slowly without making a sound. The flames were doused by firefighters and she was rushed to a hospital. But yesterday she died.

According to news reports, she had a criminal history, mental illness and had been desperately trying to get psychiatric help, to no avail. The very sensitive NBCMiami.com features the headline: Human Torch Dies After Mall Blaze. Is that a class act or what?

The real class act is John Torres who, rather than breaking out his cell phone, injured himself trying to help her.

Woman Sets Herself On Fire At Mall Of The Americas

A woman tried to commit suicide by setting herself on fire inside the Mall of the Americas in West Miami-Dade on Thursday, August 13, 2009.

A Good Samaritan pushed the woman to the ground in an attempt to extinguish the fire. Two other people used fire extinguishers to help. After the fire was out, Casals walked out of the mall and into the parking lot where firefighters found her with third-degree burns on more than 75 percent of her body. Police and fire officials are looking into a motive.

Casals walked into Savage Boutique at about 3 p.m. and appeared to be drenched in gasoline when she lit herself on fire, then walked around engulfed in flames as shocked shoppers watched, authorities said.

The woman's husband told @mrjyn http://twitter.com/mrjyn he did not know why his wife set herself on fire, but he did give this revealing bit of information: he said their oldest daughter worked at Savage Boutique. Eyewitness told @mrjyn http://twitter.com/mrjyn they thought it resembled something out of a movie. Three people were also injured trying to rescue her. "It looked like a big fireball," said John Torres, as he broke open a glass case to grab the fire extinguisher. "I know she lost all her clothing."
