El tiempo en su marcha triunfal nos muestra, nunca tarde, el nudo gordiano de los duendes, las voces de invisibles personajes perdidos en el limbo del misterio. Nos acercaremos, entonces, a completar las ventanas para oir el silencio, ver entre brumas, con nostalgia, la belleza, la alegría, la fortaleza y la audacia reclamadas. Esperaremos, como siempre, a la patética esperanza y la magia de la suerte ¡sin volver el rostro! Pues, ha de visitarnos la cansada señora de negro, nunca falta a las citas, arrastrando los pies y blandiendo trémula su siempre renovada guadaña, extendiendo su mano gélida tomará las nuestras, no nos permite ¡contar la plata ganada con esperanzas!.

Working and Being on Probation in Montgomery County Gets Harder
If you are on a felony probation, deferred adjudication, or just on conditions of bond for a pending felony case in Montgomery County, your life has gotten a lot harder this year. Starting in January, the Montgomery County Probation Office began implementing a new randomized drug testing procedure. The policy requires all persons accused of a felony or who have pled to some type of felony probation or deferred adjudication to call the office every day and see if they have to submit to a drug test. Here’s how it works. First, the probation department issues you a PIN number. It is then your responsibility to call the office every morning, enter your PIN number, and learn from the automated system if you have to take a urinalysis that day. You then have until 5:00 p.m. to travel to the probation office had provide a sample for testing. Continue reading

Get Your Connecticut Unsupervised Child in Car Arrest Dismissed!
I saw this sign in Fairfield Connecticut last week. It’s part of Connecticut law enforcement’s campaign targeted for parents and nannies and babysitters who leave children unsupervised in the car. Believe it or not, it’s a crime in Fairfield County Connecticut to leave your child unsupervised in a car—often a misdemeanor and sometimes even charged as a felony. Even worse, many of the best criminal attorneys and lawyers in Fairfield, Greenwich and Stamford Connecticut are seeing mug shots for people arrested for Unsupervised Child in Car plastered all over the internet, causing them embarrassment and headaches in their professional and personal lives. Here’s how to start getting your case dismissed and how to get your Unsupervised Child in Car arrest off the internet and Google… Understand these Laws Protect Children under 12 and 16 Years Old Leaving a child under 12 in your car during the daytime is a Class A misdemeanor.

Texas Burglary Defined
While in court this week I had a person ask me about possible representation on a burglary charge. Upon speaking with this individual, I think he was confused by the definition of burglary in Texas. In addition, I don’t think he really grasped the true severity of this crime. While there are proposed changes to the definition of burglary in the Texas Penal Code going into effect this September, let’s look at the history of the offense of burglary up until now. The truth of the matter is that aside from murder, burglary and robbery were once thought of as some of the most egregious of crimes in colonial America and England. In my opinion, not much has changed. Juries just don’t like burglars and robbers. Worse than thieves, burglars and robbers threaten our lives and wellbeing. Thieves are thought of as being sneaky trying to take your property without being detected. Burglars evoke an uneasy feeling of being…

Carmen McEvoy y cosas de gringos.
http://elcomercio.pe/opinion/columnistas/legado-montesinos-carmen-mcevoy-438808 “Entre ellas, la corrupción, el sistema de privilegios, las dinastías familiares, la explotación, la ausencia de justicia para los más débiles y el manejo de la prebenda de parte de una casta burocrática a la cual lo único que le interesa es preservar el poder. Las patéticas declaraciones de esa vergüenza nacional llamada “contralor general de la República” respecto a su “parque automotor familiar” mientras lucha por su vida –lanzando amenazas a diestra y siniestra– son una prueba al canto de que Vladimiro Montesinos dejó seguidores que hoy operan en la entraña misma del Estado Peruano.” Nunca es grato criticar a las mujeres, mucho menos a una profesional como la señora McEvoy, pero resulta irresponsable no hacerlo cuando escriben con el hígado, con…

Boston Drunk Driving Accidents – Passenger Injuries
Drunk driving is one of the strangest crimes, according to many judges who routinely weigh drunk driving criminal cases and civil lawsuits involving people who were injured. The reason they often comment during sentencing or verdict that it is a strange or unique crime is that is a crime that people don’t think about as a crime, even though it can, and often does, result in a death of an innocent person. For example, most people who are living in Boston, fresh out of college, working as an intern or were fortunate to land a good job would never dream of stealing a candy bar from the corner store. This is understandable, as they have no reason to steal anything and are worried about the consequences if they did. If they were caught, they would be charged with a misdemeanor that would probably get dismissed, as it was a first offense under what the law in the Commonwealth, calls a CWOF. CWOF is short for continued without a finding. Basically,…
