Fault Lines: The Next Generation
We hear you. We asked for your thoughts, and you’ve been more than generous in providing them. Thank you. We share many of the ideas you’ve offered, and with that in mind, we’re ready to bring more writers aboard. At present, we have Greg Prickett bringing the cop’s perspective to Fault Lines, but we want more. We have Murray Newman and Andrew King bringing the prosecutor’s prospective, and we want more. We have Judge Richard Kopf bringing the view from the bench (and we anticipate another judge joining us soon), but we still want more. We want perspectives from all genders, all colors, all political views and all players in criminal law. Too much? Perhaps, but unlike anywhere else on the internet, we seek to provide all sides of legitimate commentary, because our writers aren’t merely interested and passionate, but the people who actually do the work in the trenches and speak from knowledge and experience. …

Plan de gobierno de Fuerza Popular - Bloque II - Educación 1

OACDL Seminar: The Premiere Ohio DUI Defense Seminar
Last week was the annual DUI/OVI seminar presented by the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (OACDL). One of the slogans now attached to the seminar is ‘The Premiere Ohio DUI Defense Seminar’. When I hear that slogan, two questions come to mind: 1. Are there any other Ohio DUI defense seminars? 2. If so, what makes this one the ‘premiere’ seminar? Full disclosure: I co-chaired the seminar this year, so my opinion is probably not unbiased. With that said, my answers are: 1. Yes, there are, in fact, several other seminars focused on Ohio DUI/OVI, and 2. What makes this one the ‘premiere’ seminar is the topic of this blog entry. One factor which makes the OACDL seminar impressive is the sheer volume of information. The seminar lasts for about 20 hours. During that time, about 35 speakers give presentations on topics relevant to DUI/OVI in Ohio. No other Ohio DUI/OVI seminar…

Bernard Brief Bank: Respondent's Briefs Are Filed
In case you didn't already know, the United States Supreme Court is set to determine whether or not Minnesota's DWI laws are constitutional. The highest Court accepted review of three cases - here they are, with hyperlinks to the Supreme Court docket for each case: Bernard v. Minnesota (14-1470): is it constitutional for a state to criminalize the act of refusing to submit to a warrantless DWI search? Birchfield v. North Dakota (14-1468): Is it constitutional for a state to criminalize the act of refusing to submit to a warrantless DWI search? Beylund v. North Dakota (14-1507): Is it constitutional for a state to claim that a driver "consented" to a warrantless search when that driver was threatened with the crime of refusal? TIMELINE: The briefs in support of the Appellants (Bernard, Birchfield, and Beylund) have already been filed, as have the briefs filed by several amicus curiae ("Friends…

ATTORNEY SAM’S TAKE ON PROSECUTION FOR THE PARTICIPATING IN AND ENCOURAGING OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
When we left off in my last blog, I told you that there were various issues worth discussing in the case of Timothy Cyckowski, the, now, 19-year-old male from Saugus who has been charged and convicted for activities involving recording, displaying and encouraging a sexual assault of a drunk minor. Certain aspects of the case will come as no surprise to any regular reader of this blog. As you no doubt remember, creating any photograph or video depicting sexual acts, or nudity, involving someone under the age of 18 (even if the activity depicted does not involve an assault) is illegal. It is the creation of child pornography. Possessing the material is possession of child pornography and disseminating it is the dissemination of child pornography. All very serious charges in their own right. In this case, the girl involved was not only a juvenile, but was also very intoxicated. This means that there were two reasons why, by law, she was unable to consent to the sex. Finally,…

New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney for Writing Bad Checks, Money Orders, Electronic Funds Transfers (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-5)
Criminal Lawyer For Writing Bad Checks, Money Orders, Electronic Funds Transfers (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-5) Passing a bad check, money order, or electronic funds transfer is a theft crime in New Jersey, and under the terms of N.J.S.A. 2C:21-5, it can have extremely serious consequences for you. Prosecutors will have to show that you knowingly passed a check that would or could not be honored, such as because of lack of funds, the account had been closed, or it did not exist in the first place. As a theft crime, you’ll be prosecuted based on the value of the bad checks. Amounts less than $200 are a disorderly persons offense, with a penalty of up to six months and a fine of $1,000. This is the best case scenario for you, as penalties escalate rapidly from there. For values less than $1,000, you’ll face a fourth degree crime charge, similar to a low felony in other states, and a sentence of up to 18 months with a fine of $10,000. If the amount is less than $75,000,…

New Jersey Penalties For Writing Bad Checks, Money Orders, Electronic Funds Transfers (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-5) As with most theft charges, Writing Bad Checks, Money Orders, Electronic Funds Transfers (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-5) is graded based on the dollar values in question, with penalties becoming more stringent as the amount of the theft increases. The lowest degree, a disorderly persons offense, is charged for passing bad checks in an amount less than $200. At that level, your maximum penalty would be six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. When the amount involved is between $200 and $1,000, you’ll be charged with a fourth degree crime, and risk up to 18 months in prison and a fine of $10,000. When the values of the checks are between $1,000 and $75,000 – a huge span – you’ll be charged at the third degree level and face a prison sentence of three to five years. You’ll also be fined up to $15,000, on top of the restitution costs that any theft conviction…

Juror Who Showed Up Drunk Wins Appeal for Jail Term
The Florida Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that a Florida man who showed up drunk for jury selection should not have been sent to jail for his actions. The Florida Supreme Court found that the Tallahassee man should not have been found guilty of direct criminal contempt by a judge in Leon County Court because some of his questionable conduct happened outside of the court and not in direct view of the judge. The court ordered that Florida’s First District Court of Appeals issue an order vacating the decision. However, the state could investigate whether to retry the man for indirect criminal contempt. On April 15, 2013, the man showed up for jury duty at the Leon County Courthouse. He told a judge during general questioning that he had various issues that would make it difficult to serve on a jury, including admitting that he was a drunk. The judge did not excuse the man and selection continued. The man later fell asleep as other prospective jurors complained he smelled…
