Law & Ethics - May 2007

WAIT PLEASE READ ON!

The city puts off a ticket as "civil" but if I don't pay it I go to jail. That's Criminal. Or else why would the city offer you a "jury trial" for a civil case (of course only if you PLEA first)

The constitution says "In ALL criminal cases, the accused shall have a trial by an impartial jury of his peers".

I get to court, no jury unless I PLEA - not guilty.

By being forced to PLEA, and in consideration that I am being prosecuted criminally when making a PLEA, that means I am being prosecuted for a crime without a jury and being forced to stand before a judge in prosecution without a jury.

That's a felony because the judge and prosecutor perjured his/her oath of office "To protect and defend the constitution" when they denied me my right to a jury trial in a "TRULY" Criminal case.

Americans do not actually know constitutional law to put up with this.

Our founders set the law up for reason! Too many cases to make municipal corporations rich

Is it illegal to knowingly interfere with the needs of a disabled person (Such as refusing to turn the A/C on and turning the heat up when someone living in the house has MS and needs to keep cool.) If it is, what are the possible prosecutions one could face? I don't want to go into the details because it's personal but I will say that I'm very worried about the living situation that my fiancé is facing.

A neighbor's dog was killed last week. Apparently, someone opened your neighbor's fence and hit the dog with a blunt object. An anonymous witness gave the name of a sullen teenager who lives a few blocks away. However, the teen will not admit to the vicious act and the only evidence that connects the teen to the crime is a brownish stain on his sneakers that appears to be blood. You are called to testify that the brownish stain is blood from the dog that you have matched to blood found at the scene. Discuss what you would need to cover in your testimony to convince a jury to listen to you.

Ok so last summer four of my friends and I took a trip to D.C. The trip was school related and so the school paid for like $1,600 of the trip. A year later, they are saying we cannot graduate until the money is paid back. None of us remember them telling us they wanted it back.

Now correct if I'm wrong here, but if it was a loan, shouldn't a contract have been written. And also since we were all under the age of 18, a parent of each person had to sign the contract agreeing to pay back the money?

Because this just seems wrong w/o a contract showing proof of us having to pay it back. You just can't loan money w/o a contract.

Estimate on what an attorney would charge to file like motions, continuances and objections to motions for court? Does an attorney normally charge per item filed in your case? About how much does an attorney charge to do this?

Not that I am necessarily for it in every case, I was just wondering, do you think it would help stop repeat offenders? Especially with child molesters, one time is far too many.

how many of you think the death penalty to should be done within a months time instead of letting people sit on death row for years and years, taking up our tax dollars to support them. that makes me so mad, and it would free up jails to hold other criminals. just a thought and would like to know what you all think. thanks for answering!!

I'm wanting to participate in some air gun battles with my friends but I was wondering if I could get in trouble having one on me or in my car? I am on probation and my po says it's not a violation for me to have a non deadly weapon but if for some reason I were to get in any trouble for having it and go to jail that could be a violation. I am in TN not sure if that matters.

I hate how the goverment feels they have to take away our freedom to choose in what we want to do to ourselves. Why do they feel they need to protect us from ourselves? Smoking is harmful yes but we are responsible to make the choice for what to do with ourselves.

Personally I hate how most bars and restaurants now ban all smoking. Whenever people say no smoking majority they mean cigarettes; but now cigars, herbal cigarettes, and other smoking tools are banned. I used to love lighting cigars in bars but can't do that anymore thanks to the no smoking rule.

Parents of obese children ages 0-18yrs could be punished either by being forced to take nutrition courses and forced to enroll in low fee gyms to teach their children healthy habits. They would have to be monitored by a family doctor to check the progress of the child and if he/she hasn't lost weight and his/her eating habits are not the best the parents would lose temporarily lose custody of the children until they have been trained by nutritionist to but the right foods for their children. Anybody can accuse bad parents , including friends, family members, teachers, and doctors. This will ensure that obese children will lose weight and prevent health problems in their future. The causes for obesity in children will be researched and even if its for genetics they parents could be charged a fine for each obese children they have. Would you agree with this law?

I understand that when I by a prescption drug at a drug store, the drug store must tell the name of the drug and the doctor who prescribed it to a computer system. As I understand it, the drug companies can access this system and then know which doctors prescribe their drug and how to reward them. I understand that they have sales reps who are ex football team cheerleaders, who visit the doctors to see that they are rewarded. I understand that cash is not ok, but there are various things that are allowed, like dinners, golf trips, and even paid speaker positions at seminars. Can someone fill me in on the details? Do you know the laws that authorize this?

My workplace currently buys coffee, creamer, and sugar to the coffee drinkers at my work. They refuse to supply instant hot chocolate packets. I think this is a reasonable request. Can I file a lawsuit to get them to stop discriminating against the few hot cocoa drinkers here?

Have you noticed that it seems like more and more people would rather blame everyone else under the Sun for their problems instead of accepting responsibility for their actions?

Americans in particular are a litigious society. Everyone in this country sues anyone else at the drop of a hat.

Take Josh Hancock from the St. Louis Cardinals. His father has sued the restaurant Josh was drinking at the night he died in an automobile accident. His father is also suing a tow truck company because it didn't remove a stranded vehicle fast enough.

Authorities said the 29-year pitcher had a blood content of nearly twice the legal limit for alcohol in his system when he crashed into the back of the tow truck. He was also speeding, using a cell phone and wasn't wearing a seat belt. Marijuana also was found in the SUV.

He was speeding, talking on his cell phone, didn't wear a seatbelt, had pot in the car and was probably stoned, and spent 3 1/2 hours drinking, but it's not his fault????

As some may know, sex offenders have limited places they can live and in some states only 1 can be housed per unit. Although you or I may not think we want a sex offender home with structured programming and monitoring in our neighborhood, we should be aware they are quietly living among us anyway. Check the web and you can find out where they are near you. Wouldn't you prefer there be a place where they can all live together, be monitored and receive on site intervention for their indiscretions. After all, former sex offenders and trained providers are the best "watch dogs" for sex offender behaviors because they know what to look for and when to intervene before one re-offends. Let me know.

I'll never understand what the issue is. I'm sure these men and women condemed to death didn't give much thought to the comfort of their victims. They're gettin' off easy I think. Even in their death the pain goes on for the victims families. Those who so violently take a life are of no value and we waste entirely too much time and tax dollars making sure they are treated with compassion, fed and housed. Your thoughts?
