Law & Ethics - December 2007

a dividend check for $171.00 from one of his life insurance policies. The account I set up to close out his affairs was closed last year. It's made out to him directly. How can I get this cashed? I don't want to have a new check reissued, because then it would be issued to his trust, which no longer has any checking accounts associated with it. I'm at a loss as to what to do here.

I just heard that NJ has abolished the death penalty, didn't Illinois do the same thing a few years back? Why are they saying this is the first state to do this in 40 years?

I don't understand YA at all sometimes. The poster asked if it was true that there was no law that required you to file a tax return. Several people pointed out that there was such a law, but now YA has deleted the question. Why on earth would they do that?

Do you think it is proper for the government to dictate to a church which weddings they may legally perform? Some churches have decided that until same-sex partners can have a civil wedding ceremony in the church, they will not hold any wedding ceremonies at all. http://www.planetout.com/news/article.html?2007/12/14/1

I have a friend who was arrested for a petty crime but it was a felony, even the cops were annoyed, but they did have to book him. It's been 4 months since his arrest, but he has not heard anything. Is it possible that one can be arrested for a felony, but not ever be charged or convicted. How does this work? I know the state of CA has 3 years to charge you. But they did confiscate evidence. Anyone with experience with such things , i would like to know your thoughts.

If you were convicted of crimes against a child(ren) and were granted an appeal based on a technicality, would you go back the second time to prove your innocence, or would you never go back for your second trial? If not, why? How would that make you feel about someone you know who did not go back to prove their innocence?

First of all, yes i know i'm stupid for even doing it, but i never thought in a thousand years she would do something like this.
she went through a drive thru pharmacy, and claimed she was someone else and took their narcotics. she even called them in to be filled. we know this person (who she took the pills from) and that is how i found out that she did this.
the person that owns the rx calle the cops and filled out a police report. to throw a wrench into it, i used to buy a few here and there from this person. she said if the police question her she will remain silent, but i know my friend that took the rx will try to bring us both down. if it comes to that, and i stay silent and the rx owner stays silent, with no physical evidence (i don't have any pills on me, in my apt or in my system), could i still be charged?

What on earth is our world coming to? All of these news stories I've heard about the zero tolerance policy just show how completely insane we have become. I am a 16-year-old high school student, and of course I do not condone kids bringing weapons and drugs to school. Anyone who does that should be expelled. But seriously, a 10-year-old girl was arrested for bringing scissors to school! Another kid was expelled because he had been using a pocket knife outside of school and forgot to take it out of his pocket. Even kids who make honest mistakes like that and tell a school administrator right away after they realize they have a "weapon", they still get expelled. I cannot believe that people are so insane that they expel innocent people and ruin their lives because they simply did not remember that they had a "weapon". Does anyone else agree that we have gone completely out of our minds?

A friend of mine who gets lost really easy was out driving around on dirt roads and pulled into a field to turn around. He sat there for a couple of minutes and tried to figure out which way to go when a cop drove drove by and noticed him sitting there. The cop then went into the fenced area to do his '' so called business''. He asked if he could search the vehicle and was told no. After being told this the cop went to his car and got the k9 unit to search the car. By the end of the night there was one arrest.

Just wanted to know if this sounded very wrong to anyone else.

If some guy called me a Bi*ch, Slut, Whore, F*cking peice of sh*t, and any other names you could think of thats sexual harrasment.

Also even if he was joking it is still sexual harrasment right.

Oh another thing does it matter any if he has ADHD.

I don't want to get him in trouble its just he is always calling me and my friends those names (especially a girl he really likes) I just want him to understand that someone could press charges for being called those things.
