Occasionally, you read about people who have suffered amnesia -- total loss of past/recent memories and sometimes even knowledge of their identity. Suppose that it was discovered that such a person had, before suffering amnesia, committed a crime. Assuming that the person really does have amnesia (and therefore, would believe he is answering truthfully when he says "No" in response to "Did you commit the crime?"), do you believe that such a person should receive the legally prescribed punishment for the crime? What if the crime was first-degree murder? How would your answer be affected if you knew that he might, someday, recover his lost memories?

Why would a cashier who fails to check ID Get a harsher punishment for selling tobacco or alcohol to a minor than the person whos doing the buying and drinking? Also cashiers under 18 can still sell tobacco legally. And they'd still get the same punishment so I don't think you can say its because the cashier is supposed to be older or more mature.

My mom has been buying her land for about 10 years. She recently moved a log cabin to her land with the approval of the person whom sold her the land. Everything was fine until she decided she wanted to add a bathroom onto her cabin. She first asked the guy she purchased the land from about adding the bathroom. He said "no problem". The neighbor next door started complaining and making rumors that she was living in this cabin. The seller of the land came out while my husband was there building on the bathroom and said it looked great. Two weeks later the same loud mouth neighbor called complaining to seller of land that she was still adding more onto the cabin. Not true! The seller called my mom today and screaming at her that he no longer trusted her and might have to repossess her land. She then asked him if he didn't go and see for himself the bathroom that was added on and say it looked great. He said yes but after looking again more was added. Nothing else was added

My 20 year old son was charged with underage possession at a dance club because he picked a beer up off the floor. We went to court and he was given 2 years probation, had to attend alcohol school, pay a $500. fine and now this is on his record and he is having a very hard time finding a job because when they do a background check this misdemeanor is showing up on his record. He is now 21 but he still has 1 1/2 years to go on his probation. I can't believe that this incident is ruining his young life. He had never been before a judge before this incident and has always been well behaved. We have tried calling the lawyer that we had to pay $750. to for supposedly having it all taken care of and he won't return my son's calls. What can we do? My son is getting very depressed by the whole situation. We never dreamed it would turn out like this. We live in Ohio.

Im selling a loaded hard drive off of craig's list, and I was wondering if I could get in trouble. When I say loaded I mean that the hard drive is filled with T.V. shows, music, and movies. I dont know if they are bootlegged or not, since the hard drive used to be my brothers.

Do the cops hold stings with selling loaded hard drives? Will be busted by a swat team if I sell it to some stranger over the internet?

As any economist knows, healthy people pose less of an economic burden to society than unhealthy people. Not surprisingly, then, every dollar our state government spends on prenatal care for undocumented immigrants will save taxpayers of this state three dollars.

Which of the following, if true, would best explain why the statistics cited above are not surprising?

(A) The state's taxpayers pay for prenatal care of all
immigrants.
(B) Babies born in this state to undocumented immigrant
parents are entitled to infant care benefits from the state.
(C) State benefits for prenatal care serve to promote undocumented immigration.
(D) Babies whose mothers did not receive prenatal care
are just as healthy as other babies.
(E) Pregnant women who do not receive prenatal care are
more likely to experience health problems than other pregnant women.

In July I was visiting a friend that lives in an apartment complex. A woman there had a monkey for a pet. The monkey didn't like ciggarette smoke so I went to my car and sat inside. The woman came over to my car, the monkey jumped in my car and attacked me. It bit my finger very badly and it ended up getting infected. I am still having problems with my finger being swollen and sore and think their may be tendon damage. I would like to get a lawyers advice as far as sueing this woman but don't really know what my chances might be for winning this case. Since it bit me, it has bitten another person and the woman has to get this monkey out of Wisconsin as it is considered a dangerous animal. Should I see a lawyer and what are my chances of winning this case?

For instance why do I pay the electric bill, its not like they take my check and put it into a machine to make the electricy generator work. Couldnt it be possible for us to live on a credit type system where we are given things in return for our work. It would eliminate the rich and poor and we would all be equal

I was sickened to find out Amazon.com is selling books on how to raise and train fighting pit-bulls. I was troubled even further when I contacted them about this and they hid behind the 1st Amendment. I am all for free speech and not trying to suggest censoring anyone, but I think there are limits! I was going to jokingly ask if they would sell a manual on how to build an A-bomb, but then I checked their site and they actual do! Maybe I am sensitive because I lost many friends on 9/11 and I own a dog that was raised for “bait” and “raping” (she was 2 of 35 dogs that did not have to be euthanized and it took almost 2 years to nurse her back to health).

I think there is line where the rights invoked by the 1st Amendment need to be tempered against moral and ethical responsibility.

Am I wrong?

If you agree, PLEASE boycott Amazon.com and pass this info along to all that you can. If you disagree, then look at this as my way of exercising my rights to the 1st Amendment.

My uncle did some landscape work for a man. When my uncle finished, the man paid him with a prank $20. It says "not legal tender" but it look real. The man had my uncle sign a receipt but my uncle can't read english very well, and on the receipt is written that he agreed to do the job unrecompensed (I think it it means without compensation). So what can my uncle do now?

Does the Eighth Amendment permit the execution of a death row inmate who has factual awareness of the reason for his execution but who, because of severe mental illness (documented), has a delusional belief as to why the state is executing him, and thus does not appreciate that his execution is intended to seek retribution for a capital crime?

I know I will get some dweebish answers, but hope that you will challenge yourself to understand the question, before answering.

See, Panetti v. Quarterman, cert granted, 2007 WL 30552 (2007), decision below 448 F.3d 815 (5th Cir. 2006)
