Is there a correlation between the length of time a jury deliberates & a guilty verdict? Example - More time deliberating = more chance of guilty (or innocent) verdict. I'm looking for a reaserch article etc. If you can't find specific data, what do you think? Thanks

Boot camp teenager deaths shock US

Aaron's bloody and battered journal contained an unbelievable account of torture, abuse and neglect.

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,22577605-401,00.html?from=public_rss

"The report was published as a court in Florida began a manslaughter (WTF?!?) trial into the death of a 14-year-old boy who was filmed being beaten by camp guards minutes before he died.

Other xamples of abuse include youth being forced to eat their own vomit, denied adequate food, being forced to lie in urine or faeces, being kicked, beaten and thrown to the ground," investigator Gregory Kutz told a congressional education committee.

I sell books online. I want to offer the incentive that each book purchased enters the buyer into a raffle (to win a rare book). Is this legal?

my boyfriend is being falsely accused of molesting his son's mom's 2 sisters 2 years ago. It just came up recently after his son's mom got back from a coke binge to stay with her parents and now she's trying to get custody back of their son. What does he do? He's been arrested for it and can't afford an attorney. His son's mom put her sisters up to this because since she lost her son and put her other one up for adoption she wants him back.

Hey ya'll! i am currently 15 years old, will be 16 in june of 2008. I want to get emancipated this summer, but I am not quite sure of everything I will need to do, and I don't want my parents to know about this until it is official, so I can't ask them for help. Will they still let me be emancipated if I'm not in an abusive home? I just simply do not like my parents at ALL, and they are way to strict and refuse to let me see my boyfriend. But who do i go to, to get emancipated and like what do i tell them. will i need a lawyer, and will it cost a FORTUNE?? Because my parents wouldn't help me in any way with that. And also, I live in north carolina, will they rent apartments to a 16 year old? Me and my friend are going to rent one. Ya'lls answers would be greatly appreciated, thank you soo much!!!

I am getting mixed answers and just would like it simplified as to the exact way it should be. I am not a mom but I do drive a school bus and have little kids and I think 3-5 year olds should be in a booster?
And 1-3 in a car seat. But, some people say up to 7 if this is the case then I have kids on the bus should be in them and there not?
Does this go by state or federal guidelines? What are the federal gudelines?

My husband and I have been seperated for 4 years. If we decide to eventually divorce whose state law will take precedence? He lives (we lived together)in a community property state. I don't. Also they have vastly different alimony laws. (We have been married 30+ years)

I do massages for man, I took a course a few months back but never finished. I post my ads online but I don't have a license.

I tell my clients the truth that I don't have a license and they still agree to the massage. But is this penalized, could I go to jail for this???

I am very clear with them. The first thing I say to them is "do you agree to the massage knowing that I don't have my license" and if they say yes, then we go on with it.

I just need to know if this is penalized in Miami, FL.

Dad and I were in court this past summer because he filed a false abuse report against me with DHS. Anyway none of his allegations were ever proven (because he lied) and the judge ordered that we share legal & physical custody. The judge asked if we could work out the transfers and left it up to us. Dad at this point refuses to even talk to me or be civil & its assumed that I will always bring daughter to him. Last weekend I was unable to do that and he again called DHS with yet another false report. Since it was never ordered that I take daughter to him if I were to stop in light of his latest actions could he use that against me?

the intention of finding out my Information, After she no longer worked at the bank she used that information to keep my Mother from putting me on My Mother's Will after my Mother had a stroke and is not in her right mind anyways. I am wondering if the bank is libel for her actions as well as her as this was my Credit Union that I paid to be a member at. I feel very violated by this. I don't even know if I should tell other people about what happened, Because who knows the bank could turn around and sue me, for slander if it was all done in my Family, And my Mother could just say it did not happen as she protects My little Sister all the way to the bank even though she was living with me and I was the one taking care of her. My Sister took her 2 Days out of the Hospital from a stroke and had my Mother make her the power of Attorny. And left me off the Will. She had my Mother put down she only had two Daughters. And left me out as if I am not a Daughter or even exist.
