Law & Ethics - August 2007

By all accounts, Leslie Van Houten has been a perfect inmate while in prison since the early 1970s. She renounced Charles Manson long, long ago. At about the age of 60, she is not seen as a danger to anyone. She is in prison for murder, but she has shown remorse, and taken every opportunity to improve herself as a human being.

Should she be released?

If Senator Craig was caught in a bathroom stall having Gay sex, he would probably say that he is getting his prostate checked. And that it is the Media's fault that he has to do it in a bathroom stall, rather than having his prostate checked in his Doctor's Office.

A series of robberies and murders was occurring in a city. In three of these robberies, the robber staked out small businesses and after obtaining cash, shot the owner. There were no live witnesses to the crimes, no videos of the crime, and no fingerprints or DNA evidence.

In a fourth robbery, the owner of a small grocery store was critically wounded but was alive and conscious enough to give an excellent description of the perpetrator. He then clearly identified the man from a photo array. Because of the critical condition of the victim, an immediate preliminary hearing was scheduled after the suspect was arrested and charged.

The judge, the defense lawyer, and the prosecutor (with other court attendants) conducted the preliminary hearing in the hospital room of the victim in the presence of the defendant. Pain medication was withheld for a day from the victim at his request. The victim again clearly identified the defendant as the robber and responded to cross-examination by

Basically I just want to state that if I were to die I would like full custody of my son from a previous relationship to go to my husband. He has been basically raising him since he was 14 months old. My son's biological father is a big loser. Can't hold a job longer than 4 months at a time and has only worked 2 weeks out of this year so far and got fired. He's way behind in back child support and he is an alcoholic and presumed druggy (from a couple different reliable sources). He doesn't have a license because of 2 OWI's and never taking classes and he will never again have one in the state we live in because of it.

I won a good prize in a competition run by a national newspaper. They phoned me on Tue 17 Jul 2007 to tell me I'd won and my prize would be sent out within 28 days. They've published my name in the list of prize winners, but they haven't sent the prize.

Today is 44 days since they told me to allow 28 for delivery of my prize. I phoned to ask about it after the 28 days had come and gone and they said they hadn't dealt with it yet, but would be doing so very soon. I'm still waiting.

Can anyone tell me where I stand, legally, on this issue?

I heard in France suicide is a crime and even successful suicides still get punished. So the dead victim still goes to court to get tried, but their body is covered in salt to preserve it.

My ex wife who has been severely depressed lost her job and is really struggling financially. Her central air conditioner quit working at the house and we have had a major heat wave in our area. She paid a heating and air man $156 to replace a capacitor. Long story short, her check bounced for lack of funds. The repairman came out to her house without notifying her while she was at work at her new job and removed the capacitor from the unit and wrote on it with a permanent marker: BAD CHECK, CONFISCATED PART!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON!! He did this so if she has it serviced again by someone else they would see this note. Can this guy come on her property and remove the capacitor without someone being at the house??
