Law & Ethics - March 2007

Monica Goodling's (Gonzalez's liason to the White House) attorney, said that he advised her to plead the 5tt, because the Democrats have set a perjury trap for her, like they did for Scooter Libbey. Perjury means that someone has lied under oath, right? So don't lie under oath and there's no perjury, right?


By the way, I remember Patrick Fitzgerald saying that he made offers, to several people, to change their testimony. Several did, but Libbey declined to change his testimony.
And I do seem to remember a little something about Libbey being found guilty by a jury of his peers. Citizens of this country, like you and I, found overwhelming evidence that he lied under oath.

I had just entered a pub/bar with a friend and we proceeded to sit down. Just then a barman approached us and asked for ID. My friend said she hadn't any and I gave him my fake one. Asking us both to leave, he said he needs to confiscate the ID.

I didn't attempt to buy alcohol with it, just to stay in the pub. I assumed that you were allowed in pubs over the age of 16; you're just not allowed to drink.

He said that they have to hand it in to a particular place and they decide whether to contact the police or not.

So what I am really wanting to know is, what is likely to happen?

Please help!

As some of you may know, my boyfriend of 7 years has been physically and emotionally abusive. On a friend's advice, I talked to the doctor yesterday to have it documented. What I didn't know is that they're obligated to call the police. They arrested him, and he's now in jail.

The question of whether or not to prosecute was hard enough, especially with him using his one phone call to tell me he loves me and ask me to stay with him and all of the typical things he says.

But this morning, the arresting officer called me and said that he has priors in another city for beating his ex-wife and if I prosecute, this would be a felony.

I don't know what I should do. I don't even know what sort of punishment he'll be facing because it's a felony. Does anyone have any advice or information? I just want to make a clean break from this relationship. I didn't want the police involved at all, but since it's too late, I want to at least make the right choice.

We have been divorced for about four years now and in the last year he has had a job promotion and several wage increases (not to mention his yearly bonuses every May when he gets over $1000 in one day) and has never reported it. Isn't there any penalty he is going to face for not reporting?
