Could someone please explain in simple terms the legal basis for making someone who instigated a murder, eg Charles Manson, guilty of murder? I should imagine it is based on English/American Common Law.

in the US is accurate and not fixed beforehand.
I guess what i'm asking is do you really believe the candidate you vote for has a chance to win or is our government so corrupt that the system just doesn't work anymore?
I want Ron Paul in office but it seems the media controls everything and he isn't getting any spotlight coverage.
he seems to honest and dedicated to the good of this country to actually win. As the first candidate i've ever heard say he wanted this country to be run as the constitution say's it's almost as if he doesn't have a chance.
i will leave the US and go to Canada because this is not the "Land of the Free" anymore.

I recently got into a car accident and the person that hit me left, came back after 5 minutes then exchanged information. He must have came back because his license plate fell on the ground when he crashed into me. Is that still considered a hit and run since he left?

last Saturday, my friend drove to Point Roberts, WA from Vancouver to pick up a package. Due to long waiting line inside the delivery center, she could not find a vacancy and had to park on side way for about 40 minutes. When she returned to her car, a $140 police parking ticket showed up. She is wandering if she really need to pay the parking ticket? what's the consequence for not paying it? thanks

Hey guys tonight i was making a left on an intersection and i took the yellow light, it was almost about to change to red but i took the yellow non the-less, there was a F****** cop that stopped me right after the turn and said i had taken the red. Anyways to top it off when he went to check my license it had expired a month and a half ago, GREAT! i had no idea! so in the end he gave me two damn tickets... The one for the red light i saw, on that brochure they give you, to be about $201.50, which is unbelivable! but i have no idea how much the one for the expired license would be, anyone knows? Thanks! And how do expired license cases usually handle in court? I'm thinking of paying a lawyer to go for me... Thanks!

In terms of diplomatic tensions in Asia and the situation in which South and North Korea are in, I think it's urgent for the U.S to pull it's troops out of Korea.

South Korea is one of the richest countries in the world and has a trillion dollar economy...They have more than enough money and man power to sustain and protect themselves. Also, a lot of people in Korea resent U.S. forces on the DMZ line and want them to go home! I think it's better for both sides to leave it in South Korea's hand.

She's clearly only supporting Barak Obama because he's (half) black. There are other Democrat candidates that have the same ideology as Obama as well as more experience.

A friend of mine and I work at a restaurant that we can tell is going under. In the month and a half I have worked there I have only received cash as payment and I am sure it was not enough. They do everything manually, with handwritten time cards and handwritten everything else. I am sure that they have not filed with the IRS for me because they have not requested a W-2 form. So I do not believe they are even taxing my wages. My friend has worked there 2 months and only received 2 paychecks. Only one was actually a check though. Employees are walking out left and right and our employer is avoiding us completely. We all want our wages though. Is their a legal way to get us all together in a class action suit against our employer to force him to pay us?

I mean, the White House is not a kitchen, she doesn't belong there. She is a socialist anyway. Much better off far from the White House, and perhaps making a sandwich for me.

My mom is being charged with a felony, 1st degree with residental burglery and breaking in an entry.. Her court-appointed pressured her into to pleaing gulity and yelled at her and called her names and told her she had no other choice but to take it and told her not to tell anyone the info she found out cause it would make the case worse. What she found out was the person who was pressing charges against her didn't even own the house and the people who did own the house would testify against the people charging my mom. What it was was my moms friend told her she could have a wicker basket (worth $10 in the rain) and when she took it they called the cops on her. So my mom believed the lawyer and pleaded guilty. Can she change her plea to not guilty cause she hasn't got sentencd yet? And do you think the judge will grant her request? Thankyou..
