If you've been charged with theft and the facts of the case seem to support the allegations, do you still have any possible defenses?
In any criminal case, you're only guilty of what the prosecution can prove. That's an important thing to remember -- it can keep you from pleading guilty when you shouldn't.
In the middle of a divorce, separating spouses may become so consumed with their needs that they fail to consider the needs of their children, especially when working on a parenting plan. Regardless of the issues you encounter in your divorce, those involving child custody and parenting schedules are often the most challenging.
It is crucial for you and your spouse to try and work out any potential kinks in your parenting plan yourself. If you do not, the judge will make decisions that align with what the courts perceive to be the best interests of your children, which may not include considerations for your needs and concerns. Here are some things to keep in mind while working on your parenting plan.
A 27-year old North Carolina resident entered a guilty plea to a felony DUI. After hearing all the evidence and pleas from the woman, her family members and the family members of her victim, the judge issued a sentence of 15 years.
One victim died in the wreck. The surviving victim, who suffered extensive physical and mental damage and will never fully recover, was a police officer. He was responding to an unrelated emergency call regarding a bar fight when the woman's car struck him.
One of the hardest things about drafting an estate plan isn't facing your own mortality -- it's picking the executor.
Why is it so difficult? Mostly because there are a lot of different factors to consider, not the least of which are family dynamics. Here are the top things you need to think about in order to choose the right executor for your estate:
Assault and battery are two criminal charges that are often intertwined, even though they're actually separate offenses.
Assault involves threatening another person with an injury -- verbally or by your actions. If you actually make contact with the other person, that's considered battery. The contact doesn't necessarily have to be harmful to be considered battery. It's enough for a conviction if the contact is considered offensive to most reasonable people.
Financial experts have an important piece of advice for unmarried couples who are just embarking down the road of life together: Keep your finances separate.
At least, you should keep them separate for a little while, anyhow. Naturally, most couples believe that they'll be together forever -- but given the often-fluid nature of relationships in the modern world, keeping your fiances untangled until you've been together for at least a year is a wise idea.
People who face DWI charges tend to react in one of several ways or a combination thereof.
To list a sampling:
If you flunked a Breathalyzer test during a traffic stop, should you just give up and accept your fate?
Absolutely not.
Three young people lost their lives in a multi-car crash in North Carolina near Middlesex that could have been avoided.
Police officers say that a 22-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man were traveling together in one car. Another car, a Ford Mustang, came speeding along on highway 231 at just the wrong moment. The 22-year-old woman turned into the direct path of the Ford Mustang. The passenger in the Ford, a 25-year-old man, was also killed and the driver, a 20-year old male, was injured.
Getting arrested is naturally unpleasant -- but it's also both physically and legally dangerous.
Tension is usually high for both the accused and the officers making the arrest. If you've been watching the news, you're probably already aware that many police-involved shootings happen during arrests.
