The Impact of California Civil Code section 1219 in a Domestic Violence Case
A domestic violence related criminal charge in California carries significant consequences. In addition to potential jail time, the accused faces being required to complete a 1 year batterer’s treatment program, and a protective order banning any contact with the alleged victim. For legitimate domestic violence charges, these consequences are usually justified. However, for the other situations where the alleged victim lies to the police, these consequences are devastating. A common scenario that happens in domestic violence cases is when the alleged victim regrets calling the police, claiming nothing really happened, they were just arguing. Unfortunately, when the police respond to a domestic violence call, it is too late to turn back the clock, and most likely someone will be going to jail. California Penal Code section 836(d) provides that if a police officer is called out to a domestic violence situation, ”a peace officer may arrest…

Local sex offenders under review after Jessica’s Law court ruling
The real question is, what good are residency laws? Whether 1 foot or 1 mile, no study shows they are an effective public safety method. Useless sounds good laws will always generate controversy.. 3-29-15 California: The California Department of Corrections has identified 10 homeless sex offenders in Humboldt County whose cases will undergo review after they listed residency restrictions

Michigan DUI in the gay Community
In a prior article about women's considerations in a DUI case, I noted that there are certain issues brought to the table just because the person facing the DUI is female. In this article, I want to take the same approach and look at how a DUI case can be both very similar and yet very different when the person charged is gay. To be clear, I don't profess any special expertise here beyond considerable experience representing members of the gay community and just knowing that there are at least some unique considerations involved when the person facing the DUI is part of that community. If there is any editorializing to get out of the way, it is probably that I have absolutely no hesitation in counting gay people amongst my professional circles as well as amongst my friends and people that I love very much. One thing that makes me unique is that in addition to just being a DUI lawyer, I bring a clinical education into the mix, and I use that to help my clients…

Queering the History of Sex Discrimination
Phil Tiemeyer, Plane Queer: Labor, Sexuality, and AIDS in the History of Male Flight Attendants (2013). Serena Mayeri In my employment discrimination course, I use Diaz v. Pan American Airlines (5th Cir. 1971), overturning Pan Am’s ban on male flight attendants, to illustrate how airlines and other employers tried and failed to exploit Title VII’s bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) exception in the years after the Civil Rights Act’s enactment. Pan Am defended its female-only policy as necessary to satisfy the “psychological needs” of its mostly male passengers, who “overwhelmingly” preferred to be served by “young girls.” In Diaz, the court ruled that the “essence” of an airline’s business was not to titillate male travelers, nor to offer maternal comfort to anxious fliers, but rather to keep passengers safe from harm. Excluding men, therefore, could not be “reasonably necessary to the…

Expert Testimony for Non-Accountants
Testifying is the pinnacle of an expert witness’s work in a case. It may well be the most important part of the expert’s work, as the assistance of a competent financial expert is the key to cases involving economic damages and other financial calculations. An expert must do much more than just analyze facts and calculate figures. Traditional accounting and finance skills are not enough when it comes to litigation matters. A financial expert witness must qualify as an expert in court, and must be able to convey her or his findings to non-accountants in both the written and oral formats. Accountants often forget that not everyone speaks their language, and many are not used to explaining their findings to people outside the finance function. Creating a meaningful understanding for readers and listeners can be an art form unto itself, and the best financial expert witnesses do it easily. Selecting the Expert The whole process starts with selecting the right forensic…

Jay High School Girls’ Basketball Coach Accused of Inappropriate Relationship with Player
Amid accusations of an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old girls’ basketball player, a Jay High School teacher and coach tendered his resignation from the school district on Friday. That same day, he was arrested and charged lewd molestation in Delaware County. One interesting aspect of this case, and one that should serve as a warning to anyone who works with minors, is that the accuser in this case actually denies a sexual relationship between the two. She allegedly admitted only to kissing the coach, but not to any further sexual activity. Despite the absence of allegations of sex between the coach and player, former Jay Public Schools teacher and basketball coach Cory Lyndon Henton, 38, is charged with two counts of lewd molestation involving the teen. Reports say that rumors of favoritism and unusual closeness between the coach and player began swirling, and that those rumors came to a head after Spring Break, when the girl’s teammates…

DPS border surge made rest of state measurably less safe
When the Department of Public Safety shifted its deployments to the border as part of "Operation Strong Safety," it measurably reduced DPS enforcement in the rest of the state, resulting in fewer citations and warnings issued statewide and corresponded to a period when traffic accidents increased. Further, arrests by DPS and especially the Texas Rangers plummeted in counties outside the border region. Check out discussions of the various data from three MSM outlets:Dallas NewsEl Paso TimesEl Paso Times (editorial) Texas MonthlyThis was always, obviously true - troopers displaced from their home beats to the border aren't policing the state's interior, where most of the traffic and crime is. But it's good to see it documented with numbers, even if pols quoted in the stories - particularly in the Times - seemed to be in flat-out denial.The Times editorial and the TM piece by R.G. Ratcliffe ably parse the meaning underlying the new data so I won't…

Electromagnetic Sensitivity, W-Fi and the Lawsuit
This post examines an opinion the New Mexico Court ofAppeals recently issued in a civil suit: Firstenberg v. Monribot, 2015 WL 993820 (2015). The court begins its opinion by explaining how and why the suit arose:Arthur Firstenberg sued his neighbor, Raphaela Monribot, and Robin Leith, the owner-lessor of Monribot's residence, for injunctive relief and monetary damages under the theories of nuisance and prima facie tort. In his complaint, Firstenberg alleged that because he suffers from a condition called electromagnetic sensitivity (EMS)that renders him acutely sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, his health was adversely affected by Monribot's use, within her own residence, of various electronic devices that generate electromagnetic radiation, including a cell phone, a Wi–Fi modem, dimmer switches, and a microcell.Firstenberg v. Monribot, supra. In a footnote, the Court of Appeals noted that the parties, the witnesses, and the district court…

College Students and Binge Drinking
While there is not a consensus definition of what "binge drinking" is, we know that college students do a lot of it and they do it with beer. When a person consumes heavily with the intention of achieving intoxication above .08% BAC, they are 74.4 percent of the time doing it with beer. (Nami, et al. 2004). Wine bingers are rare and account for only 10.9 percent of drinkers labeled as binge drinking. (Nami et al. 2004). As you would expect, college binge drinkers are more likely than their non-drinking counterparts to experience one or more alcohol-related problems. One study looked at binge drinking with a ten-year follow-up and found the binge drinkers were at a higher risk of becoming dependent on alcohol later in life and that binge drinkers were likely to depart early from college (Jennisom, 2004). With these risk factors and the long term effect, you should seriously consider if getting black-out drunk is, in fact, a fun thing to do. Charles M.…

Overstock.com Hatchet Man Judd Bagley's Downward Spiral: Junkie, Confessed Criminal, Admitted Adulterer
In the years that I’ve written extensively about Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK), I have always been amazed about its bizarre CEO Patrick Byrne and the gang of misfits he has surrounded himself with. By far, the worst was a real loser named Judd Bagley. He dredged up that character from the bowels of the Internet, hiring him as a kind of all-purpose stalker and cybercriminal, harassing and intimidating certain investigative reporters and critics of Overstock.Patrick Byrne MugshotAs a criminal myself, in my many years managing the Crazy Eddie fraud, I learned to be careful about employing people with mental problems or substance abuse issues. Byrne himself, of course, was completely unhinged, with his paranoid rants and sometimes anti-Semitic and misogynist comments, making him a laughingstock. In January 2013, Byrne was arrested for having a handgun concealed in his luggage as he tried to board a commercial flight at Salt Lake City airport, and he told police he sleeps with…

Should I Plead Guilty by Mail to My Connecticut 21a-279a Possession of Marijuana Infraction Ticket? Don’t Even Think About It!
We get this call all the time. I just got a ticket in Darien, Greenwich, Fairfield or Stamford Connecticut for 21a-279a Possession of Marijuana. It’s no longer a crime. It’s just an infraction. Just a fine. No probation. So should I plead guilty by mail to this Connecticut 21a-279a Possession of Marijuana Ticket? Absolutely not. Here’s why… The Decriminalization of Marijuana is a Blessing and a Curse in Connecticut Blessing and curse? Really? Sure, it’s great that you can no longer get arrested for a misdemeanor anymore if you are found in possession of marijuana. Our liberal lawmakers finally convinced the Governor that we should not be clogging the criminal court system with petty pot possession crimes and misdemeanors. But here’s the problem with the new infraction law. If you get a 21a-279a Possession of Marijuana or a 21a-267(d) Possession of Drug Paraphernalia ticket in…

Alleged child rapist arrested in Tonopah
Last week 39-year-old Kenneth Cardenas of Tonopah was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 3-year-old girl four years ago. Earlier this month, the Nye County Sheriff's office received an alert from an outside agency regarding the alleged assault. The Sheriff's office commenced an investigation, which included Cardenas submitting to an interview by Nye County's Detective Perry. During the interview, Cardenas allegedly made incriminating statements that aligned with the victim's story. However, the Sheriff's office did not disclose what Cardenas's statements were. Cardenas was reportedly arrested without incident. Currently it is unknown where Cardenas is being incarcerated. His bail amount also remains unknown.
