My friend Tyler is 17 and a half years old. His male cousin who is two years younger accused him of a first degree felony of rape. His cousin claims it happened several times and even in his sleep. There is no evidence, and no witnesses.The cops held Tyler for a day and decided to let him off on probation. Tyler ended up taking a plea bargain and will be pleading guilty to gross sexual imposition (a fourth degree felony) His court date is coming up.. how long do you think he will get for this?

I wanted to know is it possible to sue for being a homeworker. I live in Florida and my Step- Dad hurt himself on the job very seriously. He was life flighted to a hospital and today he recieved flowers from a woman my Mother caught him cheating with years ago, thing is the woman's sister told my Mother recently that the two were still involved. The nurse brought the flowers to the room stating who the were from (the other woman!) my Mother burst out in tears. My family has been going through a lot of problems especially my Mother and Step- Father arguing and not having a good relationship for the past few years. My Mother wanted prior to this to get a divorce. I would like to know if you could sue and what kind of lawyer would I have to contact to help with my Mother. We want to do it the legal way to keep my Mother out of jail from confronting the homewrecker.

It has been over three years I had this roommate.I am not sure if she is bipolar or just crazy, but a year after I moved away, she started calling me and left 10 messages saying that she has lost her shoes and 3-4 shirts, which she believed I have so I must return it or else she will file a police report. So, I told her I don't have it and I think she find them herself, she came back apologizing to me etc for her behavior. In between,she send me emails asking and telling about her well being like nothing ever happened. I was not too responsive to her. Now 3 years after she again sent me emails with the list of things (4-5 piece of clothes eg shirt skirt etc) she has been missing which totals 500 dollars.She again told me she will file a police report if I did not return it. I never had her stuff, but i truely feel harrased/humiliated. I am sick/tired of her up/down behavior and her threatening. I am not scarred but just don't want to deal with her. What should I do? Or what can she do?

After all, liberals complain all the time that Iraq is a failure due to the violence. Innocent civilians die in inner cities all the time. Violence has gone on and on in inner cities since liberals began their great society programs under LBJ.

If in the face of the earth would you

kill
steal
sexually abuse

other poeple if there were no laws for it therefore when you do do it you would not be in trouble or go to jail.

Think all the stories you hear now about all the poeple that get in troble for killings, stealings, and abuse.

Imagine if there were NO laws how would you think this would rise?

and eliminate taxes for those who make under $300K per year.

This sound fair, and will be a huge tax cut for over 95% of all Americans. Even Republicans have to love that idea!

People who make over $300K per year can't find enough ways to spend all their money anyway.

the official version never dealt with building 7 and neither did Popular mechanics which so many of you 'tin hat haters" love to quote... further the fact that there were explosions documented by both eyewitnesses, (police, firemen, EMT's, Journalists) and seismic scientists (Palisades and Stony brook) has been ignored... also the pulverized concrete along with the Molten steel still in the basements of the towers weeks and weeks later has never been discussed.
Less than 600k was spent on the investigation as opposed to the 40 mil that got dumped into Clintons Hummer...

you can say anything you like, and here on Yahoo it's all about ego, but what is wrong with asking for an explanation for the worst act of domestic terror the world has ever seen?

and how Anti-American should you consider yourself for not wanting to know the truth..

didn't Christ say that the truth would set you free?

For people that support the war on drugs and think it can be won, why do you believe this? Something that has been going on for 35 years, and over $420 billion later, nothing has been accomplished except making more crime and ruining the criminal records of millions of people from their teenage years on. Unless you can change human chemistry so people can't get high in various ways from drugs, you can't stop people's desire to do them and can't win this. I leave with a quote:

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." -Abraham Lincoln

"Just days after former Vice President Al Gore received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts on global warming, the United States Supreme Court handed Mr. Gore a stunning reversal, stripping him of his Nobel and awarding it to President George W. Bush instead.

But in a 5-4 decision, the justices made it clear that they had taken the unprecedented step of stripping Mr. Gore of his Nobel because President Bush deserved it more.

"It is true that Al Gore has done a lot of talking about global warming," wrote Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority. "But President Bush has actually helped create global warming."
