Or is the country run by total idiots?

In what situation would an adult inmate in prison go to court for an order of competency?

What is is an order of competency and what happens if the order actually happens?

My assumption is if an inmate goes crazy in prison, they are sent to the insame asylum so they won't hurt themselves or other inmates. If they do well and are released they are released to the public again and not sent back to prison.

Am I correct? Please fill me in where I'm off....

By the way , my attorney is very intelligent and has been practicing for 44 years. He says he's never seen a case like this once for no more than we have and no more thn we make. also my wife has graduated from school of cosmetologists and was licensed which is more than I did. She has the ability to make a substancial income but chooses her current occupation instead.

I have had problems with this guy from the start, but the only thing I want is my security deposit back. I paid $550 (the same amount as my monthly rent) and in the lease it states $200 will be kept for carpet cleaning. (Which is absurd, only 2 rooms were carpeted, the rest were tile. But whatever.) My last date there was 10/31/07. Today is 12/19/07. I have called twice and he has told me twice he would get it to me. I sent a certified letter on the 10th requesting contact from him within 3 days on why he is not going to give it to me, or a check within 10 days. He has until the 21st and then I'm taking him to small claims court. Any advice? I have my cancelled check, I video-taped the apartment the day I left with a current newspaper in every room, and I have witnesses that will testify about existing damage when I moved in and improvements I made while I was there. I also have a cop who is going to help me prepare my trial. Any advice is appreciated.

I am angry that I never received a phone call before an attorney took over. They claim they only reach me through postal mail, but obviously that did not work. Apparently, there was even a court date (which I did NOT know about). I was not aware that my account was being handed over to an attorney otherwise I would have tried to pay my debt sooner. Now, I have attorneys fees added to what I originally owed. There has been a lawsuit filed according to the attorney's office. I do not know the details because I was only informed of this via voicemail because I called them to find out what was going on with my account. Also, I'm wondering whether I should get myself a lawyer. Is it possible I won't have to pay the attorney fees already incurred? I cannot afford this at all.
I appreciate any answers that can help me.
Thank you!

OK, so I got my graduate photos samples, but I realized that the company is charging almost $200 for 4 photos, so I decided to remove the watermark on the sample and print the photo myself. Now, my friend is asking me to do the same thing for them. I am now thinking about charging them and print the photo myself. Is it legal to remove the watermark on the sample? Isn’t my photo with my face on it?Now can it be copyright of the company?

It has been three days since a snow storm, and my lazy neighbor (who owns a corner house) hasn't touched the long stretch of snow that is now glazed over with ice. It is dangerous, and I have to go in the street to walk my dog. I know this probally varies in different towns, but is there a legal requirement in yours? What happens if they don't shovel their snow?

Um, I was wondering I have heard rumors about lining your clothes, purses, bags, etc. with aluminum foil, will disrupt the detectors so that you can steal. Is that true? Or myth?
The reason I am asking is because, for one, in colorado, its illegal for anyone to bring aluminum foil in to the stores because of theft, and they are also putting dectors to detect aluminum foil. Also, I read numerous articles about it. And according to them it really does work... I just was wondering if someone could tell me first hand or by experience! Thanks.

I had to reask this question. Bcause I put it under fashion, well, honestly I dont think they know.

another fee(this is not the first) they call it a long distance connection fee and it is from them, I already am paying a huge amount for long distance and all I wanted to begin with was the internet but to get that I had to have all this other stuff. They told me I can only cancel the long distance as I am under contract and I would no longer get a package deal so it would go up about 35 that way, they are going to charge me a federal 5.50 fee to shut it off so no matter what I do I have to pay. If I cancel service completely with them they will charge me 75 for breaking contract but I feel they already broke it. anyone know if there is a law and if so where would I find it at, I cannot on my budget watch my bill go up every month like this, this now comes to about 10.00 more than the agreed upon price.
