Radio Appearance by Jeffrey Caminsky

Michigan author and retired public prosecutor Jeffrey Caminsky will appear today in the "Ebling and You" radio program on WILS-AM out of Lansing. Among the topics up for discussion will be the action of the Senate Judiciary Committee in passing on the nomination of Solicitor General Elana Kagan as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Caminsky, who worked for years as an appellate prosecutor with the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, has briefed and argued cases before the Supreme Court during his 30-year career as a public prosecutor. Among his last cases was the case of Michigan v Bryant, which is currently set for argument before the Supreme Court in October, 2010.

Radio Appearance by Jeffrey Caminsky

Local author Jeffrey Caminsky will be a guest on the "Ebling and You" radio program today.

Caminsky, who is also a retired public prosecutor, will be discussing the recent United States Supreme Court case of United States v Comstock, in which the Court's liberal majority sustained a law allowing federal courts to detain prisoners indefinitely after they have served their sentence. The law, commonly called the Adam Walsh Act, lets federal judges authorize the indefinte detention of those found to be sex offenders who are suffering from a mental illness, or who pose a threat to others, until the court determines that they are no longer a threat, or the state in which they live assumes responsibility for their custody.

College Days Redux

Author Jeffrey Caminsky will be putting down his pen, stepping away from the keyboard, and stepping onto the stage this weekend. Returning to his alma mater, the University of Michigan, Caminsky will be singing with his old college choir, the Michigan Men's Glee Club, joining with other alumni to help the group celebrate its 150th anniversary.

The Glee Club was founded in 1859, and has a reputation as one of the finest men's choral groups in the world. Caminsky was part of the group's European tour in 1971, singing under the direction of Dr. Willis Patterson, when it was named the best men's choir in the world at the Llanglollen music festival in Llanglollen, Wales. One of the selections the alumni group will perform, Randall Thompson's Last Words of David, was the piece that won them the competition.

Currently Caminsky performs locally in the Metro Detroit area as part of the Madonna Chorale, under the dirction of Dr. David Wagner. His books are published by New Alexandria Press, and are available on Amazon and other online sites, as well as through local bookstores.
