A friend of mine needs to get his record cleared in Massachusetts. Some felony. I was wondering how I would go about this. He got a lawyer... But his lawyer said to get his criminal record... I thought it's the lawyers job to do that? If not how can he obtain these records... and how can he go about doing this?

I applied for a position as a police officer and they ask for any arrest. I was arrested once when I was 12 or 13 for disrupting my school. It was me and a couple more students. My sister was one of them and she went to court for it, but I never did. Not because I didn't want to, but because they never sent me anything. I just want to be able to provide them with the information because I don't want to be disqualified. I just don't recall when it was or what the charges were. Does anyone know where I can get that information?

I've been recieving harrassing emails for the past few weeks insulting me and calling me derogatory names like c*nt, b/tch, etc.

They have not made threats, but they keep insulting me. The email address is anonymous or fake so I can't identify the sender. But I want to find out who it is and press charges.

What can I do?

I received a letter in my door from the guy who lived at this address before me. (I have been at this address for two years). He stated that he accidentally had a package delivered to his old address (My current address). Well I was out of town for for a week during the time he said it was scheduled to be delivered. When we got home we did not see a package. He said he didn't require a signature so it would have just been left on the porch. So I assume it was stolen and he is accusing me of keeping his package. What course of action can he try to take against me and what should i do in my defense?

I have a 16 year old cousin, who lives in Illinois. He has been the subject of verbal, emotional, and physical abuse all of his life at the hands of thier mother. At one point of his life he was placed in foster care, and his mother had to go to parenting classes in order to get him back, Those parenting classes did not good, and she pulled the wool over the sheeps eyes when it came time for visits from the caseworker. I tried a few years ago to get him into my custody, only to be told by DCFS that "Since there is food in the house, there is nothing they can do" My question is this, He, wants to leave home, he wants to come here and live, (Pa) What can be done to get him here, His mother will not sign papers since she knew i tried to get him a few years back, after hearing what was going on, while he was on vacation here for the summer ( I usually get him for three months during the summer, minus the last 3 years) What can he do to get here? He is looking for a job, and in school.

Or is chronic pain an understood risk (albeit rare) of the operation and one for which the doctor cannot be held accountable?

I'm not talking about initial pain following the operation, but rather regarding some rare instances where pain (as a result of the surgical change) will manifest several months later and continue without stopping. I haven't received this surgery yet, but it's one I've been researching, and I've found a couple accounts of men who started to experience chronic pain in the area of the surgery months/years after the initial surgery, even though initially there was NO pain reported. I'm just curious about liability for a situation like this.

Thanks.

I purchased my little girls Xmas presents on Ebay and paid like normal through paypal and without looking at the joint account with my husbands balance in the account. I clicked pay and it didn't give me a message saying that it was denied or no funds etc etc. It said completed and I thought there was money in there and didn't even think twice about it because it said completed. How can it be complete if there were no funds??? SO NOW I have a Negative Balance of over 300.00 HELLO....WTF how does this happen? I mean why would they say completed and now I am negative and turns out that my husband had stopped his direct deposit from going into that account and into our other one....nice huh...so I am pissed at him and Paypal....what do I do now?

I was at a bar last weekend and there was a fight and the cops were called. Two Russian guys who were in the fight were arrested outside the bar. While they were being searched and questioned they are talking to each other and the other bar patrons in Russian despite knowing English. The cops were screaming at them to stop talking in Russian to each other.

Is there anything against this? Why couldn't they talk to each other in Russian?

Very interesting article here about Lori Drew (the mother from hell who influenced the suicide of a young girl Megan Meierthrough the internet) & Drew Peterson, it raises a lot of questions about the morals and ethics of certain lawyers:
source : http://run4chocolate.wordpress.com:80/2007/12/04/are-lori-drew-and-drew-peterson-related/

Their attorneys certainly seem to be.

I watched two interviews this morning, one with Joe Brodsky, attorney for Drew Peterson, and one with Jim Briscoe, attorney for Lori Drew.

Drew and Drew are both accused of being involved in the deaths of other people. Both deny any involvement.

The matter involving Lori Drew , aka Momster Drew, provided no new information. Just her lawyer denying she had anything to do with the matter and essentially laying the blame on the daughter, Sarah Drew. He suggested that his client was unaware of what was going on until a mere 24 hours before Megan Meier committed suicide.

So lets say someone died from a heart attack.
And the doctors know they died from a heart attack.

My work has a probation period of 3 months in the handbook, and I read that after a probation period you start accumulating holiday pay. Ive worked there for 9 months but the owner is saying that you have to work there for a year before youre entitled to start recieving holiday pay. My manager disagrees and also thinks its 3 months.

Ive read everything online but cant remember coming across anything that says how long you have to be working for an employer before you can take a holiday.

As long as evolutionism, the scientific theory generally accepted trespass the Newton's lows of motion described shortly as follows:

1). "An object will stay at rest or continue at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force"
2). "The force on an object is equal to it's mass multiplied by it's acceleration"
3). "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction".

do you think that someone in the court will believe that
presuming the above lows are universally true and unchangeable then it means something had to give universe the first push. Otherwise, it can be proven that a killing object may move without being act upon by an external force just like it did before, therefore, any suspect may not be condemned unless caught in action.

Is this a monopoly? Another, cheaper and comparatively similar cable service is available, however, they are not allowed to provide service to the building.

I just don't understand how the owners of our building could force its tenants to use only one service when there are others available and more economic.

How is this legal. It was nowhere in the lease that we would not be able to use a different cable service.

Please help.
