South Bend, IN - Joshua Kati is currently serving a twenty-year home detention for dealing cocaine. At least, he was until early Saturday morning, when he killed a man. James E. Muddiman Sr., 63, was working his first night as a security guard at South Bank Bar in South Bend. When Kati’s girlfriend tried to leave with a drink in her hand, Muddiman stopped her.
James Muddiman got hit for his trouble. Hit hard. With one massive punch, Joshua Kati clocked Mr, Muddiman in the side of the head and sent him falling to the concrete floor. Muddiman’s head bounced, and it was lights out for the man who was just trying to do his job. He died later on Saturday of his injuries.
Joshua Kati’s Myspace has been made private - too bad. But it does show a picture on the front, and his “mind is on his money”. Kati has a record. He’s been convicted of theft, domestic battery, harassment, and resisting arrest - all that aside from his 2004 conviction for selling 30 grams of cocaine to an undercover cop. And what the hell kind of home detention lets people go to bars? I’m just curious, because if that’s the case, I’m moving to Indiana before I commit any felonies.
James Muddiman, Sr. has a record, too. He was a Vietnam veteran who served his country well, raised his family, and ran a private investigation company, Infinity Investigations. He also worked as a part-time security officer for Indiana University South Bend. Not really the same kind of record, is it?
Joshua Kati is charged with aggravated battery and reckless homicide. He is being held in the St. Joseph County Jail on $100,000 cash bond.
Thanks, Kathy, for the link in our forums!

Anyone who could punch an elderly man hard enough to kill him, and any of the baby rapers and murderers, I could kill them very cheerfully!! And trust me, i’m not a violent or crazy person. But these scumbags get off on everything so easily and then the next thing they do is worse. I have an nice 9mm that could easily do the trick

When we went to Indiana, I learned to take out food in a restuarant was not permitted unless they had a license for carry out. (I’d never heard of that before) I had to wrap up my other half of sandwich in a napkin and put it in my purse - yuck

Who gives someone with a record that dealt that much coke to the police HOUSE ARREST for 29 years???
what in hell kind of punishment is that??
Obviously since he was at the bar partying it was not a good one.
On another note this story may actually come in handy for me
I think I will print this and go post it in the hall and slide it under the doors of the two dealers we are trying to get out of my building Maybe they will pack and move to Indiana.
I may just get these asshats out of here after all

Yeah, she may not have known the details, but I’ll be you it showed in his behavior. Maybe she thought he was “manly” and “strong.” Or maybe she just wanted someone to buy her a drink. No excuse in either case.

IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. JOSH IS NOT TRYING TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED. WE’VE ALL MADE MISTAKES BEING INTOXICATED. WE SEND OUR CONDOLENCES TO MR MUDDIMAN AND HIS FAMILY BUT THIS IS A LOSE LOSE SITUATION. ON BEHALF OF THE KATI’S FAMILY WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE WHOLE INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE AT SOUTH BANK. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN JOSH SHOULD BE SLANDERED BY OUR COMMUNITY AND LOOKED AT AS A MENACE. PEOPLE DO CHANGE AND HE HAS BEEN DOING HIS BEST TO TURN HIS LIFE AROUND AND BE A BETTER MAN. JOSH FEELS EXTREMELY HURT BY HIS POTENTIAL ACTIONS AND WILL FOREVER HAVE TO LIVE WITH WHAT HAPPENED THAT FRIDAY NIGHT. BEFORE YOU JUDGE JOSH OR THE SITUATION TAKE A MINUTE AND THINK ABOUT THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN YOUR OWN LIFE THAT YOU HAVE DONE AND REGRETED. YOU CANT CHANGE THE PAST BUT WE AS A COMMUNITY CAN COME TOGETHER AND CHANGE THE FUTURE. ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND ACCUSATIONS ARE TEARING OUR FAMILY APART AND POSSIBLY THE MUDDIMANS FAMILY. LIFE CAN CHANGE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE WHO DOES LIVE A SOCIAL LIFESTYLE. WE ARE NOT SAYING JOSH IS A SAINT (BUT WHO IS). BUT HE IS A GOOD FATHER,A GOOD FRIEND, A GOOD BROTHER, AND A GOOD SON ,AND A GOOD BOYFRIEND AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF PERSON THE MEDIA HAS MADE HIM OUT TO BE. SO PLEASE BEFORE YOU JUDGE KNOW YOUR FACTS.

May 22, 2008 at 2:12 pm -Krystal,
I believe there is good in everyone. Really, I do. I’m sure that your boyfriend Josh is no exception to that rule. I’m sure there’s good in him.
HOWEVER, having “some good” in them isn’t enough to justify some people’s existence on this planet. And it’s definitely not enough to justify their stupid behavior for an entire lifetime.
I’m sorry that Josh is stupid. Really, I am. I’m sorry that he acts before he thinks.
But I’m GLAD GLAD GLAD that he feels bad for what he did. Because he should. He killed an old man for merely trying to keep your dumbass from walking outside of a bar with a drink.
If I saw every bouncer killed that stopped a drunkass from stumbling out with a drink, I’d have seen a lot of murders in my day.
But I’ve seen no murders. Luckily, I don’t hang around with dumb fucks who merely posess a “little bit of good” inside of them. I hang around with people who also posess a great deal of intelligence and have a high degree of ethical and moral judgement.
Perhaps you should follow suit.

May 22, 2008 at 2:34 pm -Krystal, i have made many mistakes in my life. I have been drunk many times…(many many) but I have never been responsible for killing someone. This was not an accident or an innocent mistake. He struck a 63 year old man! What an ass!
That is some cowardly shit and any hell he has to live with is well deserved. I hope he feels every bit of it.

May 23, 2008 at 8:05 am -well like i said you people dont know him and you have your right to your opinion and all the charges they are mentioning are from when he was younger and im trying to justitify what he did, its wrong i agree and he has to live with that all his life and the next 20 years. and it was not because i was walking out of the bar with a drink if you knew your facts it was because he tried to come back in the bar after he was already outside at closing time i was already outside he just didnt realize it and thats what it says in the police report so until you know your facts. maybe you should do your research and find the real truth because alot of what they are saying in the news is from when he was a teenager. you should at least have a little sympathy not for josh but for his 5 and 4 year old children that have no dad because of a stupid mistake you people act like he did this on purpose like he had intention he dont even remember. this would have never intentionally hurt mr muddiman. and like i said until you know the facts and the trial is over,then you can say whatever you want he has changed his life around every since he got caught for the drug case he has custody of our kids and work a good job and complied with his 20 years house arrest sentence he made a bad choice and he has to live with it and so do his kids parents and myself

May 23, 2008 at 8:25 am -Seriously, what was he even doing in a bar if he’s supposed to be on house arrest?
And you’re lucky. Josh GETS to live with what he did. James Muddiman doesn’t. Josh killed a man because he was so drunk he didn’t even know where you were? What a waste. What a senseless, stupid waste. I’m wondering whether public intoxication is okay under the rules of his home detention.
We do know the facts. Your boyfriend, who has a rather lengthy criminal record, was non-compliant with the terms of his house arrest, was intoxicated, and killed a man who served our country for your and Josh’s freedom. And you want to whine at us over the bad choices he made when he was younger, like that’s supposed to make it all better?
You’re an idiot. Bite me.

May 23, 2008 at 9:53 am -We have every right. Josh KILLED A MAN. If I say it in all caps does that make it easier to understand for you?
I don’t care if it was an accident. Was he even supposed to be at a bar in the first place? He’s a coke dealing murdering maggot, and anyone who will defend him instead of being outraged at the death of a Vietnam veteran who was just doing his job is beneath contempt.
You Josh-defending people amaze me. It doesn’t even occur to you that what he did was a heinous, horrendous act. He punched a 63 year old man in the head, for fuck’s sake! For that act alone he should be forced to give rim jobs to chimpanzees for life.
He hit a man hard enough to kill him with one punch. He didn’t think twice before punching the guy - he just punched him. Josh is clearly a violent asshole who should be beaten with baseball bats until his brains turn to mush and he exits the planet. James Muddiman should not have had to pay with his life for your buddy’s assholish behavior. Now your buddy needs to pay for his incredible dumbassery and years of continuous bad choices. And if that’s inconvenient to his family, imagine how James Muddiman’s family is feeling and fuck off.
I don’t doubt that he “loves his boys”, but I totally doubt that Josh has any ability to be a decent human being. He certainly has yet to show that.

May 23, 2008 at 10:12 am -Seriously. He knocked him down with one punch. Knocked him down hard enough to cause a fatal injury to his head when he fell. Most people are able to put their arms out, etc to soften their fall and protect their heads. This man was hit so hard, he was not able to. Get it?
This man was 63 years old for God’s sake.
And now you are going to blame the system for not rehabilitating this piece of shit? It isn’t the systems responsibility to keep all fucktards on the straight and narrow. Personal responsibilty seems to be a foreign concept to you coddlers. He failed himself. He failed his kids. He failed society.
DO you not feel at all for Mr. Muddiman’s family? All he did was go to work that day and do his job. They have suffered a far greater loss than any of you have.

May 23, 2008 at 10:20 am -Truth hurts, doesn’t it?
As much as it may hurt, he did kill someone. I can identify with you girl, more that you can imagine. But the fact is: He was drunk. He killed a man.
No amount of niceties will ever change that. Sentiments cannot bring that man back to life. Its tragic for his family as I’m sure it is to yours. But facts are facts. I had to come to that conclusion the hard way, too. I am sorry that you have to go through this, but excuses will not bring that man back to life. Period.

Tired of house arrest? Go to the bar.
Don’t like someones actions? Cold cock them upside the head.
Someone talking smack online? Stick up for the idiot.
Setting an example for kids you love so dearly should include accepting punishment for you past “oopsies”. Abide by the rules of said punishment. Avoid situations where you know trouble could happen (like getting shit faced). Take it like a man and show your kids how to have a BETTER life.
Those poor kids - going to grow up thinking anything is OK if you have good in your heart. Shame on you, so-called mom.

That is what taxes go for. sure they use some of that money to TRY and rehabilitate criminals, but sometimes some people are beyond help.
Your friend is one of those people. Apparently, his first brush with the law did nothing to deter him from fucking up again.

I don’t understand why people choose to make babies with career criminals, thus giving those kids a life sentence of sorts, of not having any kind of a normal family. You’re damn right I feel sorry for his kids. They’re in the situation they are in because of choices Mr. Kati made.
Mr. Muddiman’s family is also in the situation they’re in because of choices Mr. Kati made.
Mr. Kati has made choices his entire life that say, “Screw society, I’m going to do whatever I want, no matter the consequences to me or anyone else.” Now his choice to violently hit an old man who was just doing his job (while publicly intoxicated even being on house arrest?? Still waiting for the explanation on that one) has led to the death of an innocent human being. It’s about time Mr. Kati faces some real consequences. Our calling him names like asshat, dickwad, twatwaffle, etc (all of which he is) should be the least of your worries.

May 23, 2008 at 10:53 am -How fun. Reams and reams of cliches and non-think.
“YOU DONT KNOW HIM” - Oh, I think we do now!
“HE IS NOT A MURDERER. IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION.” — Situation! Situation! Great! Punching a man so that he dies is a situation!
JOSH IS NOT TRYING TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED. — But baby, you sure are.
WE’VE ALL MADE MISTAKES BEING INTOXICATED. — But few of us have killed a man with one punch.
WE SEND OUR CONDOLENCES TO MR MUDDIMAN AND HIS FAMILY — I’m sure they are just thrilled to receive them!
BUT THIS IS A LOSE LOSE SITUATION. - Joshy is still at home, the guard is dead. I’d say this is win-lose, with Joshy winning.
ON BEHALF OF THE KATI’S FAMILY WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE WHOLE INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE AT SOUTH BANK. — Hey! You all! All the Katis are real sorry ’bout the death and all!
BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN JOSH SHOULD BE SLANDERED BY OUR COMMUNITY AND LOOKED AT AS A MENACE. — Oh, no?
PEOPLE DO CHANGE AND HE HAS BEEN DOING HIS BEST TO TURN HIS LIFE AROUND AND BE A BETTER MAN. — When did he start this? Five seconds after the security guard died?
JOSH FEELS EXTREMELY HURT BY HIS POTENTIAL ACTIONS. What the hell does this mean? Josh’s feelings are hurt by his “potential actions?” What? That he might go out and do it again?
AND WILL FOREVER HAVE TO LIVE WITH WHAT HAPPENED THAT FRIDAY NIGHT. And the security guard will be forever dead.
BEFORE YOU JUDGE JOSH OR THE SITUATION TAKE A MINUTE AND THINK ABOUT THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN YOUR OWN LIFE THAT YOU HAVE DONE AND REGRETED. How many security guards have I punched in my life? None. How many elderly people doing a job have I hit? None. How many people weaker than I am have I sucker punched? None. Nope, nothing like this has ever happened to me or anyone in my life.
YOU CANT CHANGE THE PAST BUT WE AS A COMMUNITY CAN COME TOGETHER AND CHANGE THE FUTURE. — I love this! A call for a big hug-in. Hey! Let’s bond over asshole’s murdering ways! Let’s get out the pinatas shaped like old security guards and the pin the punch on the security guard game and sing the Kumbayah “Someone’s drunkie, Lord, Kumbayah” verse and dance naked and make a BIG “Feel Better!” card to send Joshy in jail and have the entire COMMUNITY sight it with XXX and OOOs.
ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND ACCUSATIONS ARE TEARING OUR FAMILY APART AND POSSIBLY THE MUDDIMANS FAMILY. — How dare you? It’s Joshy’s actions that are tearing your family apart and have torn the Muddiman’s family in its heart. It’s his actions, not anyone’s comments.
LIFE CAN CHANGE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE WHO DOES LIVE A SOCIAL LIFESTYLE. — Social lifestyle of a violent and irresponsible drunk, maybe.
WE ARE NOT SAYING JOSH IS A SAINT (BUT WHO IS). BUT HE IS A GOOD FATHER,A GOOD FRIEND, A GOOD BROTHER, AND A GOOD SON ,AND A GOOD BOYFRIEND AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN — No, no one on 20 years home arrest has been a good any of the above.
“… it was not because i was walking out of the bar with a drink if you knew your facts it was because he tried to come back in the bar after he was already outside at closing time i was already outside he just didnt realize it” — This doesn’t even make sense. Are you typing this while drinking to forget?
“you should at least have a little sympathy not for josh but for his 5 and 4 year old children that have no dad because of a stupid mistake you people act like he did this on purpose like he had intention he dont even remember. ” — Looks like Daddy will be home for 20 years to raise his boys. Won’t they be proud that he can’t leave the house? And that he was so drunk that he doesn’t remember killing an old man?
JOSH IS A GOOD PERSON HE DID NOT SET OUT TO KILL ANY ONE HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN IN A FIGHT — Not with a 63 year old man. Besides, what fight? He hit the guy and the guy fell down. That is an assault, not a fight.
HE DID NOT BEAT HIM — Woop-de-doo-de-do. Ain’t he a saint? You’re grasping at straws because your argument is drowning.
This is WryBread writing now. I give up. I can’t wade through any more of this, hilarious as it is. I hope CPS is reading this site and seeing what kind of ass they gave those boys to — and what kind of asses hang around with this ass. Those kids need a new home.

And, he made a “mistake?” Really? You think it was a “mistake?” No, a mistake is forgetting your keys and locking yourself out of the house. A mistake is not buying milk while you were at the grocery store. What good ole Joshy did was cold-blooded murder!!!!
He complied with the sentence? Since when does house arrest allow you to get shit faced in a bar?
Well, boo-fucking-hoo. I think what the Muddiman family is dealing with is a little more serious.

Lizard
May 24, 2008 at 2:26 am -You’re saying Josh no longer loves his boys? Fucking illiterate morons, can’t keep their fucking tenses straight.
I’ll assume you meant that Josh loves his boys. But guess what, idiot? He didn’t love them enough to spend time contemplating how any potential actions on his part might impact their lives. “I’m on home detention for a crime I committed in the past, is it in my children’s best interest for me to be in a bar, like, drinking and stuff?” “Some guy is trying to prevent my girlfriend from leaving the bar with a drink, what should be my response to this, considering that anything I do will influence the lives of my children and considering that it’s just a goddamn drink?” No, apparently these thoughts didn’t cross his mind, so with one blow he kills a man who–considering his line of work–may have one day crossed paths with these children and acted in a way to protect their interests. Josh can be sorry all he wants, but it isn’t going to bring James Muddiman back to life, fill the empty spaces in the hearts of James Muddiman’s loved ones, nor change the fact that for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, his children will know that their father killed someone.
And as if this didn’t make me sick enough, to claim that somehow this is “the system’s fault”! Yes, the system should step in and be helpful and apologetic when one tries to sell cocaine to an undercover officer or resists arrest! He needs, uh, therapy, right?
C’mon, ya’ll, his mind was “on the money.” He may love his children…but he loves that money more. I hope while he’s in custody he gets exposed to all kinds of new forms of “love”! Too bad you moronic posters can’t be subject to the same.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I implore you to consider the fact that my client did NOT kill the victim, the BULLET that went through his brain did”
or
The true tragedy of this case is that the state is trying to prosecute an innocent man. HE is not the one who killed the victim. Yes, he was intoxicated and behind the wheel, but it was the FORD bumper that cracked open the head of that young child”
BTW, we address these types of people in the podcast. Personally, it is simply a “birds of a feather” scenario. People like Kati are usually surrounded by friends who are a lot like…well, Kati.
