Law & Ethics - September 2007

The motive for attemped murder was that nooses were put in a tree. This caused the 6 black students to seek out and attempt to kill a white student. Based entirely on race. Racism goes both ways, so does hate.

Last Jan 07 my wife's father-in-law died. We have been waiting for the will to be probated. We just found out today that the step mother-in-law had already probated the will back in June without letting the children know. The county clerk told us that there was a lot of other paper work filed. A motion to dismiss, a motion to reinstate, and something about a lost will. We also found out that she was the executor of the will. Can you be an executor of a will that you will benefit from? And can you probate a will without notifying the heirs?

I am having a paternity issue with two men. When my son was born they told me his blood type was A+ and mine was O+. We asked the doctor if knowing the potential fathers' blood type if it could help us rule out one of them. My ex boyfriends blood type is O+ also.. just like mine. They repeatedly have told us that 2 people with O+ blood type can NOT produce an A+ child... is that 100 % what the truth, or is there any way around it or is he 100% not my ex's child?

I receive several calls a day from multiple charities attempting to collect a "small" $15 donation (where they get the idea that $15 is nothing to most people is beyond me) and they don't accept no for an answer, especially the various police funds who actually become quite rude even after I explain why I am not able to donate at this time. They just call back the next day anyway. Apparently these organizations are exempt from the "Do Not Call Registry". Is there anything I can do to put an end to these calls completely? Please don't say "Just don't answer the phone" because the simple fact that my phone is ringing is disrupting enough. I also shouldn't have to turn off my ringer because then I might as well not even have a phone and there is no reason why the people who need to reach me throughout the day shouldn't be able to.

Can a mother legally make her 13 year old daughter drop out of school? The daughter might be getting a job as an illustrator, so the mother wants the daughter to drop out and just work. The daughter wants to continue her education (she is in the 8th grade, and only likes drawing as a hobby).

Is this legal?

Why do they lie to us on every occasion they get, and force the media to only show what they(the government) want us to see and hear. For some reason I seen it written on a document that they hold as the holy grail of law, "WE THE PEOPLE". Does any one out there in this country see that they are trying to strike fear in the masses and to make us belive that they are the brightest thinkers of our time. Oooh,
Im sorry, I for got it was the masses who listened to there lies and they voted them in to office.

Something troubles me about this case. People are protesting asking to "Free" the Jena Six. For me, that is a problem.

Do I think they were treated completely fairly (Especially when there have been other incidents between black/white students in Jena on and off campus)? No.

But let's not pretend these guys are innocent, boys and girls, they laid the smackdown on some guy in a 6-1 fight.

Micheal Bell, who already has several offenses on his record, should NOT be made into a symbol for civil rights struggles.

Should they get a fair trial and perhaps see the charges and jail time reduced...I think so.

Should they walk off scott free....I think not.

Doing that would just perpetuate the double standard some people see so intent on seeing erased.

Re: a automobile accident. My attorney does not let me know what is going on with my case and when I email questions he emails back and is so rude to me. I have a right to know what's going on with MY case, don't I? He knew a couple of months ago that I wanted him to send me a copy of the demand letter so that I could go over it before sending it out (which he did not do) and he is being a total rude jerk in his emails to me. I have no idea what was said in the letter to the insurance company. I have also emailed him and asked what was in my medical records and also what he thinks my case is worth and I never get a answer. This is my case and I'm kept in the dark. This is not right! I am mad enough this time around to fire him but I don't want to have to start all over. I am in pain every day and stressed to the max on top of it. I don't need this from my attorney. Any advise?

I was in a small car accident. Nobody was hurt, the lady who hit us fled the seen and returned over 45 minutes later.

Both cars had to be immediately moved out of the road because it is such a busy interstection (as is the law here) but I do have pictures of the debris in the road where the accident happened. The cop decided to do her a favor (at my expense) and not ticket her because she eventually returned to the seen.

Her insurance company will not cover my $2000-3000 worth of damage because they cannot get in touch with her and she told the cop I was in her lane. (obviously the pictures show otherwise) The insurance company who I sent the pictures to, claim I have no evidence that the pictures are of my accident, so they are denying my claim.

I plan to take her and her insurance company to court, but because I don't have a physical injury (or because I did't fake one) no attorney will take the case. I know the insurance company will have one, what can I do?

In my planner, it gives laws that are supposed to be funny. But, I thinkg they're fake. If you live in any of these areas, please tell me if they are fake!

In Canton, Ohio, you have one hour to report your missing tiger to authorities.

In Alabama, bear wrestling matches are outlawed.

In Utah, it is illegal to cause a catastrophe.

In the UK, MP's are not allowed ot wear armor in parliment.

In Washington, it's illegal to pretend one's parents are rich.

In Galveston, Texas, you cannot land your airplane on the beach. (This is the only one that sounds reasonable.)

In Brookfield, Washington, it is illegal to use another person's cell phone to make a prank call.

In Acworth, Georgia, all citizens must own a rake.

In West Virginia, you CAN take road kill home for dinner. (EW!!!)

In Tennessee it is illegal to catch a fish with a lasso.

In 2002 the Greek government passed a flawed law that accidentaly banned all electronic games. (And the law was...?)

Someone had told me that if you take the staple out of a rewritten will, one of the parties can contest the will on grounds that it was tampered with. You see I told my sister that my husband owed back taxes, yes I thought they were more than they were and I told my sister just because I trusted her. What did she do but run to my Mother and tell her. They without asking me took me off the will. They told me after the fact. Saying that they were only looking out for my best interest. I say if that were the case they would have told me prior to doing it. I would have been hurt but I would have understood. The way they did it was cold and calculating.
Perhaps I am reading way to much into this but it did hurt what they did.
Peace to all and thank for taking the time to read this.

I don't understand. If convicted, they only get around 5-10 years in prison for such a horrible and disgusting crime. I'm very appalled that the government would give such a short punishment for a crime of this nature when they give unbelievable sentences for just about everything else. Why is that?
