Would you be a good witness or do you think you would end up losing your cool and end up being reprimanded by the judge?.

I would probably end up being reprimanded if I thought the questions were unfair.

my husbands ex is really shady and i was wondering since they live in another state if they could somehow have allowed her new husband to adopt my husbands son without our knowledge? she is 3 kids with 3 different men and she changed the other 2's last name to his. and now we are worried. yes, we pay child support not thru the state, and yes we see him regularly.

Lets say a person is on trial for murder. That person claims that it was an accident and there is no motive. If you were on the jury how would you want that person to be charged?
Yes I know you always need more details, go with this and let your mind ponder the circumstances.

Rules: do not consider legality or illegality as a guideline, or the Bible or any other religious texts as sources.

Okay ...here's an example of what I was thinking.

So, I really wanted to download a free, illegal copy of a Paul McCartney song. However, if I had paid for the download, then Michael Jackson (who owns a lot of Beatles songs) might have made the money and used it to evade the law. If Paul McCartney owned the song, the money might have gone to help him fight his divorce and alleged wife abuse.

I know both parties are innocent in the eyes of the law and that downloading is illegal,

If someone died without an autopsy being done,but they were embalmed, and that death is suspicious by family members,but yet the ME stated the person died of a massive heart attack, even without an autopsy, how hard is it to prove if the remains were to be exhumed ? Or is it possible to know the actual cause of death even after months later, or do human remains decompose and it's too late to be exhumed? What is involved in all this, and what are the costs to do this?

- An innocent man is wrongly sentenced to death row for a crime he didn't commit. While in prison, he kills another man out of anger. The State later finds out that he didn't commit the crime he was sentenced to prison for.

- Question: Would he be found guilty or innocent of killing the other man in prison? He did kill the man, but then again, he wouldn't have killed him if the state hadn't put him in that position.

Everybody knows about criminal protection programs where people get deals in exchange for information. This guy died certified by a doctor that lives in another state. In the funeral the couffin was sealed. A couple days ago Keneth Lay sentencing was dismissed by a judge. Just before the congress was able to aprove laws for the prosecution of its goods and punitive damages. I GUESS IT PAYS TO BE FRIENDS WITH EL PRESIDENTE.

I was forced to protect myself from a parent that entered the school looking for a fight. The parent hit me in my face and the fight was on. I am a fighter so for a minute I forgot that I was a Officer and kicked that parents butt. Now the principle won't let me work in her building anymore. So my question is what would you do if it happen to you? Would you have dealt with it differently or would you have done what I done?

My husband is disabled with muscular distrophy, I am a hard working nurse with 2 kids at home. My husband's disability check is almost completely garnished for child support. This child moved in with us and the mother continued to take the money, plus she gets his disability check (all the kids get a check of their own each month) Then the child (17 yrs old) moved in with his aunt...mother is still taking our money. Before he moved out he racked up almost $400 in phone calls. We are drowning here and child support wont help us. We even have his report card that is mailed to us with our address on it. Now, we get a letter that they will take our income taxes (mine, that is) because we had a hold put on the money while an investigation is under way....I was going to contact our senator..........any suggestions???

More than a year ago, rumors got spread out about me and my person in the workplace, someone who used to be a person of respect turned out to be an enemy, the reasons are unknown, and the person was never provoked by me. But he has been on a 'witch hunt' for my head, I know this much, based on what's seen & heard in the place I work: a background check was done on me, false information spread out about me, surveillance set up on my house, people on the street staring at me and my husband, for what I heard there is even a website out there. I have used all means I know thru the workplace but legal action looks far because other than the documentation I write about I have been unable to prove that this person is really doing this. And what is most sickening of all is that everyone in the company I work gets a 'visual' of the 'action' and he brags about it. I have been isolated at work and ostracized and my husband does not believe me. I even tried to hire a detective...pls help!

Ok. Let's say it's a perfect world, and the gun was never invented. Absolutely no one has one. Now, some 6' 8" muscular man comes into your home to steal everything you own, kill you, and rape your wife/sister/daughter. What exactly are you going to do to stop him?

If you have a gun, it doesn't matter how big and strong the intruder is. All you have to do is practice your shot. Wouldn't you rather face this maniac gun to gun instead of hand to hand?

I know none of us was there (???) but just from the findings reported, does anyone suspect as I do, that there is a whole lot more being hidden than revealed? It is a horrible shame to be cut down by your very own. Who had his back?

Beining that the smoking ban in all public places has passed, are you now happy that many places will lose business or possibly even close? We say that we are hurting economically, well good job OHIO you just made things even worse. It should be the business owners to decide what they want for their establisments not us. If you don't like the smoking then go somewhere else.

or should it be up to the business? If a store owner, bar owner or club owner decides he's going to allow smoking in his establishment, should the Government have the right to tell him "no", or should it be left up to each individual business owner?
