A relative received a cheque from an insurance company mistakenly and he banked it. Is he liable to be sued?

The insurance company still has not found out the mistake. But, if they did, would my relative get in trouble with the law? Should he own up first?

Twice-deported man guilty in traffic death
Saturday, November 4, 2006

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

YAKIMA -- A twice-deported illegal immigrant with a history of drug arrests has been convicted in the traffic death of a Yakima Valley Community College educator.

A Yakima County Superior Court jury deliberated for barely half an hour Thursday before finding Marcos Ramos Medina, 35, most recently of Portland, guilty of vehicular homicide in his second trial.

Medina faces 2 1/2 to five years in prison when he is sentenced Nov. 16 for the death of Peggy Keller, 53, a radiology expert and dean of distance education and technical services at the two-year school.

Keller was on her way to an education conference in Vancouver, Wash., when Medina's 1997 Chevrolet Lumina crossed the center line and hit her 2000 Lexus nearly head-on on U.S. Route 97 between Goldendale and Toppenish on Aug. 4, 2005.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to testimony by a state toxicologist, Barry Logan, a blood test following the crash showed that Medina had a high concentration of methamphetamine in his system, adding that the miles of erratic driving described by witnesses and his mood swings after the crash were indications of drug-induced exhaustion.

Testifying in his own defense Thursday, Medina said he was exhausted from a trip to sell a pickup in Portland, had gotten very little sleep for several days because of generalized bouts with fear and nervousness and had been given some pills by a friend the night before the crash.

Defense lawyers did not deny that Medina was to blame but argued that his conduct was reckless or negligent, which would be treated less severely under the law, rather than impaired driving, which is grounds for a vehicular homicide conviction.

everyone has somw great answers for my question about my friend found guilty of a crime he didnt commmit?

i have been reading the news paper articles and his lawyer says he wil appeal he is only court appointed though do u think he will do good or should we look for someone else. and he did take a lie detector test. there has also been evidence that he didnt commit the crime but that wasn't brought before the jury so i am clueless as to what to do, but it truely makes me sad to think about anyone who is spending their life locked up for a crime they didn't commit. if i had any dought that he did this i wouldn't stand behind him but i truley feel that he didn't and didn't get a fair chance. and what exactly does it mean when there is jury misconduct?

Do they have the right?

The Amazon rain forest is absolutely vital to the health of this planet.(It is said that every 6th breath you take is air from the Amazon) But, more and more, we see an increasing trend of corrupt politicians in Brazil allowing it to be destroyed at an ever increasing rate. Do they have the right to rob us all of this valuable natural treasure just because it lies mainly within their border? They are proving to be incapable stewards of this forest, but the rest of the world seems powerless to stop the destruction their greed is causing! Can we trust the political will of the Brazilian people to clean up their government and start to protect what many feel belongs to us all?
