Further, the judge may agree with him that he was not in control. However, that doesn't mean the judge then says, "Good day sir... don't do it again!" He may be turned over for a psych eval for a period of days to weeks and THEN, when declared competent, have to serve his sentence. No, it...

Sure. But sentencing for the crime you plead guilty to will then begin. In other words, the moment you say, "I'm guilty", the trial is over. Ah, the "I didn't know I was holding vodka in my own hand" argument. You can try it. It might be fun. Not to get the case dismissed.... you...

Oh, and Bill Gates is smart enough to know that he needs attorneys... as was Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Bill Clinton (a lawyer in his own right), etc.

Everyone is trying to be nice to you. While I am a nice person, I am also blunt. Going into court without an attorney to manage a convoluted and intricate case is akin to dousing yourself in meat tenderizer and then jumping into the lion's cage. After calling that big lion in the corner a...

Does the custody order say anything about unmarried overnight guests?

The length of time to prosecution may have one of several reasons... up to and including that the business didn't want to have to post this issue in their annual report and so waited until after the end of the year. There may also be the possibility of making sure that the evidence is...

I say this as a dog lover (and cats, a hamster, etc). The civil suit would be limited to the value of the dog as property... not as a companion.

I know of no state that will allow for admission to the bar a person convicted of shooting a police officer. Not only a violent crime, but a crime that shows a lack of respect and adherence to the law. I would seriously consider another career option.

Part of the difficulty is that some artists are much more protective of their work than others.

I am agreeing with the panel here. Wally World did the exact right thing. God... do we really have to explain why playing grab ass with a co worker is a career limiting decision? If he had grabbed her butt or breast in a joking manner, how would SHE have felt?

I would also recommend leaving all your conspiratorial crap at the door to the courthouse. that is a great way to talk yourself into a mandatory 48.

Actually, asking to see the receipts that authenticate a disputed bit of testimony is legal.

It should also be pointed out that there may be more than one felony charge involved. Nothing says that the company has to look at the entire theft as a single charge. You could and, for that matter, probably should be charged for each theft as a separate crime. you didn't commit a...

hold up. I am not saying that an evaluation is not appropriate. It is. However, if he is found in sound mind, just wanting a 23 year old girl to warm his bed is not enough to have him declared incompetent. In fact, in my home town, it might have gotten him a parade.

Actually, payment of child support is considered contact.

Don't be cute. Your defense was that you weren't stealing electricity because your friends all saw you using a generator. Asking to see that generator and the fuel it consumes would have been a logical course of questioning.... but, sometimes, it just isn't worth it.

Not really. At will employment means that you can be terminated at any time with or without reason and with or without notice. You can also quit at any time with or without reason and with or without notice. AS LONG AS the reason for that termination does not violate specifically...

I will just add that this will NEVER go away until you satisfy it.

Are you saying you got off because you convinced people to give false testimony under oath? You had them commit a felony for you? By the way, if they wanted to get you, they would have. All they would have had to do is ask you to produce the receipts for the generator fuel.

I have to ask. You wouldn't lend a 17 year old kid your car... especially one you met over the internet. Why would you send nude photos? Anyway, I agree with the above. Mom and Dad are the way to go. Of course, that means that you probably aren't going to be welcomed with open arms.
