AG Sessions’ Continues Multi-Front Battle Against …Reform

U.S. Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions says America is embroiled in a “multi-front battle” against violent crime, vicious gangs, an opioid epidemic, and threats from terrorism. He blames an erosion of the family, discipline, and respect for the rule of law as the reasons for this battle.   This is what the Attorney General told the Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association on October 19, 2017.   The Attorney General has sounded the same alarm before other receptive law enforcement gatherings since he took office on January 20, decrying to the Oklahoma sheriffs that the federal prison population has decreased 15 percent while federal prison sentences have declined by 19 percent.   Massive Prison Industry Needs Customers   Incarcerating human beings in prison is a massive business in America. America represents roughly 5 percent of the world’s population but incarcerates nearly 25 percent of the world’s prisoners—the…

SUNDAY DOLPHINS GAME

UPDATE: After a late Jets-McCown INT in Fins territory, the home team kicked a 35 YD FG, to win the game after the Dolphins came back to score the last 17 points after being 14 points down with Matt Moore, the back-up to the back-up leading the team. The view here is that Moore has won the starting QB Job. Cutler is a stiff who needs to retire.  The real story here today however is the reprehensible condition of the field which saw innumerable players slip and fall.  The footing was akin to a December game in Chicago on a frozen field. Shameful. We will do  a little live blogging from todays game against the J...E...T...S Jets Jets Jets from the luxury suite where we are enjoying the game. Pardon us a moment while we try some of the lobster...Currently the Fins are down 14-7 and it looks ugly. Query: When did football become synonymous with patriotism? Despite the kneeling controversy, the NFL works to make a connection between soldiers overseas…

Paul and Alan were both married to women. Paul was married for 30 years and Alan had two failed marriages, one lasted seven years and the second ended after 20 years. Between them they had five children. Paul and Alan both left their wives and families to engage in a gay relationship with each other. Shortly thereafter both Paul and Alan began to live as lesbians, both of them dressing as women. Still later, Paul decided to have surgical assistance with his gender switch and had a breast augmentation and facial surgery to appear more female. Paul and Alan, now Jenny-Anne and Elen, were recently joined together in holy matrimony as husband and wife, going through a civil service where Elen had to play down her femininity so as not to upset the government officials. Later Jenny-Anne and Elen’s marriage was blessed by their church. In media reports the happy couple expessed great joy at their new lives together. There was not a word said about their broken families or the…

With just two months to go until 2018 arrives, it’s a good time to take a look at some of the highlights—or lowlights—of DUI arrests that have been reported around the country this year. 1. Off course Tiger Woods, once the most celebrated golfer in the world, hasn’t been at the top of his game for some time. But his May arrest for DUI may have marked an unfortunate new low in the athlete’s life. Continue reading

A Course in MiraclesChrist asks that He may use my eyes today, and thus redeem the world. He asks this gift that He may offer peace of mind to me, and take away all terror and all pain. And as they are removed from me, the dreams that seemed to settle on the world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed together. Fear appears in many different forms, but love is one.My Father, Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I give that it be given me. Help me to use the eyes of Christ today, and thus allow the Holy Spirit’s Love to bless all things which I may look upon, that His forgiving Love may rest on me.

Florida Appeals Court Reverses Trial Court that Refused to Instruct the Jury on Defendant’s Self-Defense Claim

0
0
Florida criminal law proscribes illegal activities through statute. That means that after a legislative session, actions that were once permissible might become unlawful or vice versa. For those accused of crimes, the defendant will likely be subject to the law at the time that the crime occurred. In a jury trial, the court instructs the jury on the law before the jury makes their findings as to the defendant’s guilt or innocence. This month, the Second District appeals court overturned an attempted second-degree murder conviction under the theory that the self-defense jury instructions incorrectly stated the law at the time the crime was committed. The defendant attended a house party when he was 17. The defendant, along with his friends, got into a confrontation with another group about missing beer, suggesting it was stolen. This first meeting did not become violent. At a second house party, later that night, where both groups were present, tensions boiled over,…

Think prison labor is a form of slavery? Think again

We hear incessant calls for more "programs" for prisoners.  I am skeptical of many programs, but one that I agree we need more of is simple employment.  Former prisoner Chandra Bozelko has this op-ed in the LA Times explaining the value of prison labor and why critics who oppose it are hurting the people they claim to be helping.When a prison inmate prays for release from her cell, prison industries can be her first salvation. I couldn't wait to head to work in the kitchen of the maximum-security women's prison in Connecticut where I did six years for identity theft and related crimes. I was paid 75 cents to $1.75 a day to make and serve a lot of casserole. Yet I consider most of the criticism lobbed at prison labor -- that it's a form of slavery, a capitalist horror show -- unfair, and even counterproductive in the effort to reform the justice system.Among the firefighters on California's fire lines this fall, 30% to 40% are inmates,…

When Details Matter: How A Misstatement of the Charged Crime in Jury Instructions Led to a Reversal of a Florida Conviction

0
0
One of the protagonists from a famous 2009 movie encouraged others to “enjoy the little things.” In the law, it is less about enjoying the little things than it is about paying keen attention to the little things because sometimes the little things can make a huge difference in your criminal case. That was the case for one defendant who was facing sexual assault charges and who won a reversal of his conviction because the trial court, in issuing jury instructions, misstated the crime with which the state had charged the man. These and other minute but highly important details are examples of the types of areas in which experienced Florida sex crime attorneys can help you. In the case, recently decided by the Fifth District Court of Appeal, the defendant was accused of trying to take advantage of an inebriated woman. Specifically, the defendant, the victim, and several of the defendant’s co-workers had spent the night drinking, and the victim ended up passed…

Die Kommission hat am 19. und 20. Oktober 2017 unter dem Vorsitz von Nationalrat Jean Christophe Schwaab (SP, VD) in Bern getagt. Sie hat sich dabei erneut mit der Vorlage zur Modernisierung des Grundbuchs auseinandergesetzt (s. Geschäft 14.034). Die Kommission hat sich im Rahmen der erneuten Befassung mit der Vorlage mit 15 zu 10 Stimmen für die Verwendung der AHV-Nummer im Grundbuch ausgesprochen (s. Medienmitteilung). In Kenntnis eines neuen Gutachtens über die Risiken der Verwendung der AHV-Nummer, das der Eidgenössische Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragte und das Bundesamt für Justiz gemeinsam in Auftrag gegeben hatten, verabschiedete die Kommission zudem ein Kommissionspostulat (s. Geschäft 17.3968), mit dem der Bundesrat beauftragt werden soll, noch innerhalb der laufenden Legislatur darzulegen, wie den Risiken, die sich aus dem Gutachten ergeben, begegnet werden kann.

Using PowerPoint for Presentations to the Bench

0
0
A few weeks ago, I assisted on a multi-day motion for new trial hearing in Barrow County, Georgia. My co-counsel used a PowerPoint to present his opening statement. I had not thought of using a PowerPoint in a bench proceeding, but I have frequently used them in jury trials. My colleague did such a great job using the technology to supplement his persuasive style, that I decided to use a PowerPoint in mine as well. I want to talk a little bit about why I did it and what I learned. It is probably not for every case or every situation. What my case last week and the case in Barrow had in common was complex facts that could be simplified and packaged up in a persuasive package with graphics. In both cases, for instance, the timeline was critical to the case. And It was helpful to put some snippets from the pleadings and relevant statutes up for the judge to see while we spoke. It is important to know your courtroom. I made the false assumption that the courthouse, an…

Making Threats: Easy To Make, Hard To Take Back

Florida Gator head football coach recently told the media that he has received death threats following a few losses on the field.  Coach Mac shrugged those threats off as part of the job, but he is probably quite concerned for the safety of his family.  So what protection does Coach Mac have if law enforcement were able to track down the people responsible?  Well, there is a huge distinction in Florida law between written threats and verbal threats.  Written threats are treated much more harshly than verbal threats in the State of Florida.  Once they are made (and often they are made in a spur of the moment fit of anger or frustration with no intent to carry through with the threat), they often leave a trail of evidence that leads back to the author.  So what are written threats under Florida law? WRITTEN THREATS Written threats are covered by Florida Statute Section 836.10, which makes it a second degree felony to send a written threat.  A…

A Course in Miracle on faceBOOK

David Hoffmeister began his journey to spiritual Enlightenment in 1986 when he encountered A Course in Miracles and recognized it as the tool he had been seeking for a radical transformation of his mind and perceptions. In the early years, David studied the Course with passionate intensity, often reading it for eight or more hours a day. After two years of this study, David began to seek the company of other students of ACIM, attending as many as five groups a week. He was startled to find that a Voice was speaking through him with great authority, so that many began referring their questions to him.Among family members, friends and teachers, David was always known for questioning everything, rather than accepting conventional answers. Thus he was delighted to find in the Course support and encouragement from the voice of Jesus for his careful examination of every idea, belief, concept, and assumption in his mind. Jesus became…
