The watershed moment was Ryan Jenkins, who allegedly murdered his wife and was a contestant on reality show “Megan wants a Millionaire”  Jenkins passed an initial background check, apparently due to a Canadian court clerk missing filed cases.  Canada has since revised its background checking policies and tightened up it’s Canadian screening policies.

Corra’s entertainment industry background check packages are the Prime Time Package, a basic introductory package, the “Red Carpet Package”, and “The Industry Package” each provides an increasing level of screening and helps studios screen different strata of employees and contestants.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the man was confined to a wheelchair.

If you’ve been wondering how our California State has gotten info this budget crisis, look no further than some of these jury payouts.  Let’s assume the complaint is valid and the State neglected to do anything about the danger, such as posting wild pig crossing signs, or limiting the speed limit in the area to allow a speeding cyclist to avoid a fleeing pig.   Even if the State is correctly at fault, is it really worth 8.6 Million?  How could the victim incur this much damage from the accident, or was some of it punitive?  If so, why so much?  How about forcing the state to spend 8.6 million on improving the highway conditions? 

And finally, we wonder about the fate of the poor wild pig.   This was San Francisco; wasn’t anybody standing up for the rights of the pig?  Where did he end up? Into the meat grinders at Buena Vista Restaurant?
