A man was sentenced yesterday in Denver District Court to 448 years in prison, with a 200 year concurrent sentence for human trafficking, pimping, sexual abuse and other offenses. It the longest sentence ever imposed in any court in the U.S. for these kinds of crimes. It's unfortunate, really...

The problem here is that you are not unbiased in this situation either. That's to be expected. You support your sister and view the situation through the way she sees it. The father's family sees things quite differently, which is not unusual in bitterly contested custody and support conflicts...

Let me add a bit more explanation. The reason that plan administrators (which often is the employer itself) are sticklers for this is because if they fail to set up the plan properly or fail to manage the plan in compliance with the terms of the plan the employer may face fines for doing so or...

It needs to be a financial power of attorney. The one army judge linked is a medical power of attorney. All that really means is that the terms of the POA in his sample would need to be changed from granting power to make medical decisions for disabled spouse to one granting power to make...

That's not the right take. Put into the lease (1) every provision state law requires and (2) every provision that state law allows that will protect yourself in the event trouble arises. Putting in penalties, etc., to motivate things like timely payment of rent, for example, should always be in...

I hate to say this, but you really need to see a CA landlord/tenant attorney on this one. CA has some of the most tenant friendly (and detailed/complex) residential rental laws in the country. In addition to state law you may have city/county ordinances that regulate this kind of thing as well...

You missed the point. The woman involved in this is a MINOR. The reason minors are protected is because most of them are not fully mature enough to understand the full ramifications of doing something like this and are more easily persuaded to do things like this. Yes, she went along with it...

I agree with zddoodah's take on it. Keeing the email costs almost nothing so its not a terrible burden to keep it. Sometimes in situations like this and many others that come up through life, it is better to just take the path that will give you less of a headache or cost you less grief in the...

There are, however, some limits placed on federal agencies as to what communications they can routinely scan without a warrant. The Constitution didn't get thrown away when the Congress enacted these statutes. They had to be written in a way that would pass muster in the federal courts. This is...

The entire scene is worth watching. I didn't know about the yarn site before, but I've bookmarked it now. It looks like a great place to get shorts of just about anything.

The police can't get those texts without a warrant, and that means they must already have some suspicion that the texts would provide evidence of a crime. So if your friend doesn't reveal that to anyone else it's unlikely any police trouble would follow. However if your friend reacts with fear...

It's disheartening to see that the botnet was able to run for 10 years before law enforcement was able to bring these guys down. Fortunately, it appears that only Windows users with outdated versions got the bot vpn programs installed on their computers. Security software only works when people...

It always amazes me how clueless some people are. How did that guy think the hearing would go when the judge sees him driving when the judge knows his license is suspended? SMH. I saw a video on the show Cops awhile back where the police asked the driver where his weed was. He denied having any...

The First Amendment does not apply, but some other law might. My state now has a law that bans all employers, private and public, from discriminating against employees because of their viewpoint. That doesn't necessarily mean the employer can't set reasonable rules for when the employees may...

Assuming that the OP isn't using a VPN that makes it appear he/she is located there when he/she is actually located somewhere else, of course. So the question Zigner asked is still relevant.

If you are located in the U.S. you'd have to prove that X actually knew the person/company with that X handle (user name) was running a scam and that it failed to take measures to stop it in a reasonable period of time after it learned of the problem. If you are in some other country, the law...

AdjusterJack's answer was premised on you already having gone to trial and been convicted, which you say hasn't occurred. His answer that the issue would be moot in that situation is wrong however. If the trial court admitted evidence that it should not have that is an issue that may be raised...

The latest court decision in Georgia that I found that dealt with that question is from 2006, and in that case the GA Court of Appeals stated: "Positive field test results are alone sufficient to sustain a conviction for selling or possessing cocaine. West v. State; Riddle v. State. Positive...

I'm assuming that your father in law was an enlisted sailor in the Navy or enlisted marine at the time this happened. In the 1980s, as now, enlisted military personnel sign contracts when they enlist and when they renew their enlistment. The main deal in the contract is that the...

A subpoena or summons for information to be used in an administrative proceeding is possible. They aren't just for court proceedings. It may be worth it for you to get the help of an attorney to prepare a subpoena to Verizon to get the texts, if they still have them. The attorney can also help...
