Someone broke into the office of the restaurant, after I left the store at the end of my shift. The door must have been jimmied open or something. Now they're going to fire me, because I was the last one in there. It's not fair, I have 3 boys to take care of, and now I'm going to lose my job becuase of some thief. Two of the girls, who didn't get the management position, can't stand me now because I got the position. They're telling the owner and the manager a bunch of lies saying they saw me walk out with a bag or that I gave it to my boyfriend, and that he went back into the office, when he's never stepped foot behind the counter. They're obviously the ones who took the money, since they are telling stories that are simply not true. How am I suppose to defend myslef except by saying I didn't do it. I've never stole anything in my life. Now I'm losing my job. Help :(

Do you think guns kill people, or people kill people?

I personally love shooting guns.

I act rather masculine for a female, but it's only to protect myself (from my dad, originally), and I feel guilty when I dress feminine. My co-workers think I'm a lesbian and ignore me, make overt religious statements, and/or just treat me normal. My supervisor thinks I have a crush on her, but I just ask a lot of questions. If anything, I'm an attention-seeker. How do I deal with the hostile types to the paranoid. I straight, and I'm secure with that, but some co-workers sit around and pass judgement. How do deal with them? How do I protect myself from homophobics who feel threatened without putting myself in an even worse position?

How long until it does not show up on employee background checks? It happened 3 years ago and I am having a hell of a time getting a job at a hospital. P.S., it is a bogus charge, I would have fought it had I known it would haunt me!

I had a tragedy occur in 05. I stayed living where I was despite not really belonging and I had no job. I took care of everything. Cooking, cleaning, driving everyone everywhere, etc etc. I did what a housekeeper or someone like that would do. I demanded no payment at the time. I was just 'helping out'. I had put 2 bills in my name, but the owner of the house was paying them.
I got kicked out for reasons that are still very unclear(the person just wanted to get rid of any ties to the 'tragedy' I think). But, the problem is that the 2 bills that were in my name(had them shut off as soon as I was able to) are way high. Both of them add up to about $2000. I do not have the money to pay. The person had said he would pay these but thus far has not paid a penny. I have it in writing in some rather mean notes. I was wondering if this would hold up in court.....?

Our next-door neighbors keep coming into our yard to trim bushes or do other yard work because they don't like how we keep it (Which is clean and mostly green-nothing that directly affects their property.)
Any law students reading this know what our rights are?

I want to know if it would be worth making a plea withdraw. I am looking at a year in jail with the plea. I did not do this, wow, I never realized that innocent people go to prison, I will not go to trial with a public defender, as I feel I could be found guilty of more than just one misdemeanor with the lack of defense they provide you. HELP!!!

I didn't sign a lease but after I gave the deposit and the landlord cashed the check, I asked a bunch of questions and he said that I was too difficult. Now he won't give me the apartment but is going to give me my check back. Can he do that?

The process of jury selection in the U.S. is referred to as "voir dire;" can anyone tell me what language this expression comes from and what the two words mean, literally, in that language?
Thank you for your help.

I don't have the reciepts but niether does he. He says he wants off the lease but wants new keys to the apts so he can enter when he pleases. And god knows what he will do if he does. He also has a dining room table at his mothers that i paid for that he wont give back. He says because we were together when they were purchased that everything needs to get split evenlly. But then he also says that hes taking all the items i purchased to furnish his new apt. We were never married why do I have to give him everything I bought and be left with nothing??

Here is a legal scenario I wonder if is legal and enforceable as a contract in the State of Ohio, and other States.

Joe owes a legal debt of $1000 to Tim. Joe can’t afford the full amount of the debt, so he issues a check to Tim for $200. On the back of the check is fine print, which says:

Payee, Tim, agrees that by cashing, endorsing or signing considers this debt of one thousand to be paid in full.

Tim cashes the check, but ignored the fine print and later refuses to consider the amount paid in full. How would this play out in court? Your best educated guess. Is there any case law on this?

If you don’t have a J.D. after your name, or working on one, or don’t know what the letters stand for, please give your fingers a rest and sit this one out.

if the events of 9/11 (which have had huge implications for the USA and for world peace) were eventually shown to have been committed by people who infiltrated fire services, police etc. for their own evil purposes, would this surprise you ?

Section 8k of the Flag Code states, "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." We recommend that you contact your local VFW Chapter and ask them for help properly disposing of your flag. And be sure to consider providing a small donation to them for their assistance. Or you can contact your local Elks Lodge (who created the idea of Flag Day, established officially by President Truman, himself a member of the Elks), the American Legion, or the Knights of Columbus. Some Boy Scout and Girl Scout troups also can provide this service.
