Are You Better Off Legally Doing Hit & Run if Drunk & Then Turning Yourself in Later?
I just want to verify that its true that one is better off legally if they are drunk and hit someone and take off and then turn themselves in the next day (or when the alcohol is out of their system)...
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I have what I think is a unique idea/concept for a PC/Video Game that isn't on the market as far as I know. I really have no way of developing this myself. What I'm wondering is, if I threw this concept into my blog which has about 150,000...
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
This is a 2 scenario question revolving around something actual that happened tragically in Los Angeles the other day. I'm assuming that the Law would be similar in most states for this:
Hit and Run The Driver Lets Say Hypothetically is Sober...
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
This is in reference to the former Producer of Survivor who in all likelihood murdered his wife in Mexico & Hasn't Been Charged and is living free and easy in the US to date.
If an American citizen murders/is suspected of murdering another...
Would appreciate your help explaining this for me as I don't quite understand what exactly the law is on a US TV Show secretly filming activity inside your store and then showing it on TV without a release from the Store. Regardless if the video footage shows a crime being committed on the...
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
This has to do with the recent prison escape of 3 Prisoners in Phoenix, 2 of whom are believed to have murdered a couple in the past few days. I'm wondering if the woman who helped them escape can be charged with and convicted or murder, if she...
Would appreciate someone explaining this to me particularly in the case of the Survivor TV producer who apparently murdered his wife in Mexico and is free unless Mexico extradites him.
Does this all mean that if you are an American citizen and lets say you kill or are suspected of killing...
I know you people don't like to answer hypotheticals but lets say Joran van der Sloot was a US citizen and he was suspected of killing Natalee Holloway on US soil but for whatever reason wasn't brought to trial. He now is arrested and charged with killing another woman, lets say this happened in...
This is probably an easy question for some of you and I don't know why I hadn't actually pondered it before. I'm just curious for my own knowledge.
While employed, if a person has been arrested but has not been tried in Court, can an employer legally fire them for no other reason? Does it make...
What actually is the purpose of pleading guilty as aren't you better off just taking a chance in Court? Or is it for people who've already made a deal with the prosecutor? It seems that every time a suspect is hauled in Court for a Major Crime, even if its obvious they did it, they plead not...
This isn't a hypothetical question LOL but a question based on fact. Apparently in the recent murder of the Florida couple with 18 (?) kids, the police have already arrested I think 7 people and have learned that someone not amongst the 7 was supposed to disable the security system that took...

I realize that the odds of someone invading a college classroom with a gun are slim however I'd like to know if in these 4 scenarios which I may advice my nephew on, are legally OK and or won't get him sued. I am assuming that anyone who...

Just curious what your opinion would be if you were on the Jury and you accepted the Transit Policeman's statement that he thought he was shooting his taser gun and didn't realize he had pulled out his real gun when he started shooting an...

Would appreciate anyone providing the answers to these legal questions on matters I never thought of before and am just interested.
1. If a person questioned by the police demands a lawyer and the ploice end questioning but the person says he...
Suppose your Lawyer Stated You Did Commit the Murder during Your Trial & to the Press
Here's a hypothetical question for which your welcome to ignore if you don't think this forum is also for asking hypothetical questions. Let's say I was a multi millionaire who shot my wife to death in...
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Are shows like Dateline allowed to show hidden video of people without them signing a release like for example Stings the show does on a store or to catch a Predator. I guess they are but then why are other shows not allowed to show...
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hopefully someone can clear this up for me as I never even thought about it till now. Let's say someone is on Meds for a Polar Disorder. The person then decides to go off the meds and as a result he either 1. Murders a person or 2. Assaults a...
Can someone please explain the likely criminal charges in the following situations as I can never understand why some people are charged with manslaughter as opposed to second degree murder (which I'm guessing is unplanned murder). Will the criminal charges for the same incidents and results...
Excuse my ignorance as I'm not familiar with the appeal process. Can Phil Spector be out on bail once his lawyer files appeal papers? If so, who decides if he is allowed out on bail, the original judge? If so, this doesn't make sense to me as the original judge's handling is being questioned...
I read online about this horrible and despicable hit and run the other week by USC in which a female was killed and the male she was with survived after getting attached (sorry can't think of a better word) to the windshield after he was hit for 400 feet or so after the male passenger just left...
