He is a separate person? Shouldn't he have his own entry as one of the key figures in this case? I would like more information on this witness . -- 190.0.86.81 15:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
"On August 8, 2000 he was shot and killed by a group of men working for Jesse, in the mountains north of Goleta, California."
"He was apprehended on March 9, 2005 in Brazil"
I think a little more clarity would be useful here about who "he" refers to. I'm assuming that the first sentence refers to Nicholas, but could do with a pointer from someone who knows. Robotmannick 07:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
There is a discrepancy involving the debt owed, it ranges from $1500.00(US) to many thousands more. The "He" that was shot (9 times with a semi-auto)was Nicholas Markowitz the younger step brother of Benjamin Markowitz. Benjamin had a drug debt with Jesse James Hollywood.
Poorly written. Protokurios 20:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
On August 6, 2000, Hollywood ... abducted Benjamin's 15-year-old stepbrother Nicholas Markowitz. Nicholas was unaware of the danger he was in and spent several days ... partying with his captors, even losing his virginity. ... on August 8, 2000, ... Nicholas was shot and killed by a group of men working for Hollywood.
I'm a little confused by this section. Based on the dates given, Nicholas was killed two days after he was kidnapped. Yet the article says he spent "several days ... partying with his captors." How could he have spent "several days" doing anything if he was essentially their captive for only three days and two nights?
The date has been changed to August 9th based on the FBI Press Release of Jesse James Hollywood's capture.
He spent three days with them. then they took him to a popular hiking area in Goleta, dug a hole, and shot him.
My bet is that someone working for the studios wrote that lame description of Jesse James Hollywood, to make the story seem more true than fabricated.
This is not fake, and his name really if Jesse James Hollywood - I live in Goleta and it happened in the mountings which is like a 20 minute drive from the lemon tree in which is located in Santa Barbara where Nicholas Markowitz spent his last hours. Everyone should see the movie its supposed to be held very true to the facts since the Santa Barbara Jusge who presided over the trials of the others that were involved handed over all transcripts including confidential material to the director/writer of the movie (alpha dog). if anyone does a little research it will clearly show that these people actually do exist and this actually did happen.

"When Hollywood appeared on America's Most Wanted, some tips led to Canada, where Hollywood was a bitch." I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean or why it was there, but I deleted it. It was the first line in the Capture section. Mobkey 04:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Jesse James Hollywood is in fact a serial killer awaiting trial in California, this is no fake, Benjamin Markowitz was a citizen of Simi Valley, CA.
I know this is true b-cuz I knew Ben, Jesse James was a name he bought himself after he became wealthy, his birth name is not known to me.
Jesse James Hollywood associates still control much of the drug traffic within Ventura County.
THIS IS NOT FAKE and it would be a GREAT INJUSTICE TO the Markowitz Family to pulls this article.

Jesse James Hollywood is his birth name. You can find it in the California Birth Records (which are public). -- Kenny 18:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Jesse James Hollywood would not be classified as a serial killer (he himself did not kill anyone, one could only be a serial killer by definition if one were to murder three or more persons one by one in a series of incidents). moving on, his real name is Jesse James Hollywood as the above person has mention it is public information and fairly easy to find. Now majority of his drug activities took place in San Fernando Valley which is located in Los Angeles county - not in Ventura County. ---- User: Blackstarz26 17:58, 15 January 2007 Oh damn boo. I really like blackstarz26. you know your stuff!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.60.156.11 ( talk) 20:52, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
It seems that this article presumes the guilt of Hollywood in spite of the fact that his trial has not yet begun. Is it not necessary to write that the 'facts' in this article are disputed by Hollywood? I agree with the writer above that sources for this article are necessary, which that might clear up some of the issues. 67.190.100.152 19:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)BC
Is anyone heading the article cleanup. I am noticing a lot of "facts" that are not based on references such as "Markowitz also had threatened to reveal a $36,000 insurance scam involving Hollywood, who had sold a sport car for parts and then reported it stolen in an attempt to obtain insurance benefits." Markowitz had alerted authorities and there is no reference. Not going to change and reference if someone else is running the cleaning up of the article.-- DizFreak talk Contributions 08:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Reference 7 is unavailable at the court's website. JensMueller 23:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I believe it is completely obvious whos name it is. Jesse James People need to know when one alledged killer has the name of another. DiRilict 22:40, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
The grammar in this section doesnt look like it was crafted by a native speaker of English. Can someone who knows the facts clean it up, I'm not clear on what they're trying to say about the pregnancy and extradition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.75.209.47 ( talk) 23:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
This guy could not have been arrested in Brazil but had to be in Paraguay just as the film stated because Brazil has a law that anyone in Brazil cannot be arrested and extradited while in Brazil for crimes they committed in another country.
Brazil deported him because of a crime committed in Brazil. He was living in brazil under false documents
I can't find any supporting sources currently but at the time of his capture there was a story that he had a pregnant Brazilian girlfriend. Can anyone find a source on this? Chops79 14:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
The current article makes no mention of why Markowitz was killed. 68.166.64.212 ( talk) 12:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
His brother owed Jesse money.
Why was the section completely removed? I could see trimming it down alittle, but now there is no reference to the movie at all.
Also, the mentioning of Graham Pressley & Jesse Rugge gives no connection to Jesse Hollywood elsewhere in this article. Were they accomplices? If so, please give a reference. Otherwise, please remove those sentences. 68.0.226.152 ( talk) 01:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
According to the article, Jesse James Hollywood is on death row, serving a life sentence AND still awaiting trial. Can't be all three. Viciouslies ( talk) 12:53, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
I don't want to start a general discussion about this, but it seems very odd to me, that a person which has been arrested as early as 2005 is still awaiting trial nearly 4 years afterwards. Can someone insert a legal reference why this is the case, how this is possible and if this procedure is normal for the US legal system? (I thought the defendant has the right to be presented in front of court and that his trial needs to start as soon as possible)
By the way, in all I am of the opinion that this site needs some kind of general clean up, as it is not very structured. Akuram ( talk) 10:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
In the section "Narcotics Operation and Murder," it all gets really informal and biased after this sentence: They drove up to Richard Hoeflinger's house, a friend of Rugge's. Everyone was smoking weed, drinking, listening to rap music, playing video games, and having a good time.
It seems to be written from Jesse Jame Hollywood's defense attorney's perspective or something. Also, it has no citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.96.82 ( talk) 02:15, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
May 17'th 2012, this section still sounds incredibly biased and as if it were written by his defence attorney. It does not meet the standard writing criteria of Wikipedia and offers no sources or citations. The information needs to be corrected as soon as possible so as not to mislead readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.70.59 ( talk) 03:47, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
