My husband was injured in 2000 on his job, suffered a back injury leading to surgery(in PA) The same company moved him to Virginia, where he sustained another work injury.While working in Virginia he also would travel back home to PA and go to office of the PA prodject to check on work being carried out. He was in charge of PA project, sent to Virginia to do same work for the same company.He was in the employ of the same company doing the same work for both states. NOW the problem is, OUR Dr.s testimony hurt us by saying the 2nd injury is a NEW injury. What we needed from him was to state that there was no new 2nd injury.I understand he had to state his opinion. OUR Attorney is SO INCOMPETENT. HE is saying that the two injuries can not be tied together. The opposing councel re-diposed the owner of the company JUST to CLARIFY that the TWO states are seperated. My husband and I know the (DEFENSE)HAS A GOOD REASON FOR TAKING A NEW DEPOSITION. Our atty. just wants it over. serious ans. pl

I have a Brother In-Law who, as soon as his father passed away, took out credit cards in his parent’s name. He owes about $15,000 on these cards and my Mother In-Law is being hounded for payment. We found out he has several judgments against him so it is clear this is a way of life for him.

He has also cleaned out two of her bank accounts. She will not take any action. How can I help her? My wife is in tears over this and has not slept in months.

If you are pulled over and issued a summons in leui of a ticket for a speeding violation, does it relinquish the officers right to pull the driver and passengers out of the car and search their person thoroughly, and then throw thier personal items on the car or ground? I know it relinquishes the officers right to search the passenger capartment of the vehicle, but I am wondering about the people. My understanding is that that would be a violation of the 4th ammendmant and considered unreasonable action

I have been charged with this about 7 years ago when I was 17 (but was charged as an ADULT due to the 707 hearing for juveniles who commit serious crimes) and as I remember, the judge telling me that this was a felony and I almost received a strike for it but extra money to my lawyer got that strike taken off.

Anyways, just recently a family member of mine who is a Deputy Sheriff for the same county that I was charged with told me that they looked at my files and said that it wasn't a felony or didn't see anything that was a felony charge, I know that the court can mess up plenty of times and make errors with court reports but when I apply for a job and they check my background they deny me of the job because of this conviction. So now I am really confused because my relative who is a Sheriff Deputy says I don't have felonies but the background checks say that it is and as I remember, I DID get charged with a felony. Anyone who knows a lot about California State laws please help!

I took my 1999 Taurus to a Monroe Muffler Service Establishment after hearing a loud noise that sounded like a bad exhaust problem. He called me later stating there was a whole in the pipe that houses the catalytic converter and it would be 800.00 to fix it. He assured me this was the lowest price around and I should check with other places for pricing. So, I took his advice and took it to another muffler shop. After their inspection, there was a small weldable hole on the top of one of the pipes, but there was a much bigger problem. One of my spark plugs fell out of the back of the engine causing the noise, not the pipe that Monroe told had said. So, I've been driving the car around, after I was assured it was okay to by Monroe, until I had enought money to get it fixed. (I was planning on getting it fixed the end of the week.). Is there any liability there with Monroe? Why couldn't they discern the different noises? Either muffler or spark plug related? Help?

That lady who works for NASA was arrested for driving 900 miles and having suspicious items in her possesion. How is that murder or even attempted murder? How can you charge someone with murder if they never even had a chance to do it? While the items in her possesion does give away some of what her intentions may have been, it does not prove murder or attempted murder. Are we becoming a communist nation? I guess I better not drive 900 miles or I may be accused of murder! This is a joke! You cannot charge someone with murder if they don't commit murder. This may be embarrasing to NASA, but I have a feeling it is gonna be just like Nifong and that deal with the Duke University students. Charging someone for an uncommitted crime is just wrong! I don't care what she had in her possesion! I could see where you could question her and charge her for weapon possesion, but its not Murder! Nor is it attempted murder. She didn't even try to kill anyone!

A series of scandals resulted in the destruction of the reputations of several famous Christian evangelists. Some of the more famous happened in the 1980s with Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart.

Some scandalized televangelists continue preaching, though with a far diminished viewership. Despite their respective scandals, they each often retain a core group of "faithful" followers.

7 References



[edit] Jim Bakker
After receiving millions in salary and bonuses from his PTL televangelism network, Jim Bakker was forced to resign in 1987 following threats of the revelation of payoffs to former secretary Jessica Hahn, to whom Bakker's staff members had paid $265,000 to keep secret her sexual services to him. A later investigation into financial irregularities at PTL and its Heritage USA Christian-oriented theme park led to Bakker additionally being indicted on federal charges of fraud, tax evasion, and racketeering. [1]


[edit] Darlene Bishop
Darlene Bishop, a televangelist in Monroe, Ohio was sued by four relatives "over her claim that God cured their father - her brother - of throat cancer. He died of the disease 18 months ago." Her book, Your Life Follows Your Words tells how her brother was cured of cancer, but "there is no mention of his death in the book, which she says is due to the fact that it was published at a time when he had been in remission for more than a year." Bishop was also accused of probate irregularities and of mishandling her brother's estate.[2]


[edit] Ted Haggard
On November 3, 2006, Ted Haggard, who actually was regarded as a pastor rather than as a televangelist, resigned his leadership of the National Association of Evangelicals[3] and temporarily stepped aside as pastor of his church because of allegations by former prostitute[4] and masseur Mike Jones that Haggard engaged in sex with him for three years and used methamphetamine. Haggard at first claimed he did not know his accuser.[5] He later admitted receiving a massage from Jones but denied having sex with him. He also admitted buying methamphetamine but asserted he never kept it and denied ever using it. On November 4th he was dismissed by the church for "sexually immoral conduct." [6]


[edit] Kent Hovind
On November 2, 2006, Kent "Dr. Dino" Hovind and his wife, Jo, were found guilty by a jury in Federal court in Pensacola, Florida of numerous federal tax and tax-related offenses. Hovind is best known as an outspoken "Young Earth" creationist. He is serving a 10-year prison term.[7][8]


[edit] Jimmy Swaggart
Jimmy Swaggart admitted sinning against God and his wife in 1988 after being caught on film taking a prostitute to a motel. He had prior built his ministry into a $150 million-a-year (£65m) concern.[9] In 1991 it was alleged that he was stopped by police in a car with another prostitute. [10]


[edit] Jim Whittington
Jim Whittington spent 10 years in prison for money laundering, mail fraud, conspiracy, and interstate transportation of stolen property from his evangelist crusades and direct mail business in the 1980s.

On November 2, 2005, U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Howard ordered the Rev. Jim Whittington to pay $5,500 a month. Whittington, who had expensive high-speed boats and a Rolls-Royce, owed wheelchair-bound Valeria Lust $848,532.[11]

If I bring a major class action lawsuit (big business) to a particular firm, is it ethical for me to expect some kind of "finder's fee" or extra cut for bringing the business?

I already know how attorneys would respond to this - it's obvious.

Anyone else have an opinion, suggestion, or fact on this?

Thanks!

Andy
