The City of Lights and the Darkness of Domestic Violence
Posted on January 28, 2008LA just witnessed one of the worst instances of domestic violence and an abuse of the rules set in place to protect victims. Domestic violence is a very real situation, and at times the law is powerless to assist the victims. Restraining orders can be given by the courts, but as one victim claimed in the LA Times “paper can’t stop bullets...
Los Angeles Hate Crime Laws
Posted on January 27, 2008Hate Crimes: A Maze, A Web, A Quandary Hate crime statutes in California can be complicated. Wait, let’s rephrase that, hate crime statutes in California are a maze of tangled loopholes and agendas spread throughout the law. The laws, for the most part, are well intentioned and are designed to protect anyone from being discriminated against based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion or other factors...
Obscenity Laws and the Adult Industry
Posted on January 24, 2008Los Angeles has one of the strangest legalized industries in the nation; namely, the adult industry, which employs actors, directors, producers, editing people, administrative folks, talent scouts and much more. What is most strange about this industry is that a variety of obscenity laws, passed by both state and federal governments, Republican and Democrats as well, directly target this industry...
What does it mean for a witness to get immunity?
Posted on January 19, 2008The best witness for a prosecutor is an unbiased eye witness. For certain types of crime this is rare. A witness of value may be involved in the commission of the very crime a prosecutor wants to convict someone of. How can a prosecutor make a case with this type of witness when the witness may have to incriminate himself in order to be of any value? The right to not incriminate one?s self is enshrined in our constitution, so the prosecutor must offer incentive to get witnesses to testify...
Gangs In California
Posted on January 17, 2008California has long sought solutions to its gang problems, and has tried a number of different strategies. The most infamous of these is to serve injunctions against specific gangs, as Sacramento did against the ?Broderick Boys?, making it illegal for gang members to gather...
Conviction on Confession
Posted on January 14, 2008Martin Tankleff was just seventeen years old when he was convicted of the brutal murder of his parents in their Long Island, New York home. While no motive beyond adolescent angst was ever given, Marty was convicted based on a confession made to Long Island police after hours of interrogation and a malicious ruse where police told him that his father had awoken from a coma and named him as the attacker...
California DUI and Drug-related Traffic Offenses
Posted on January 11, 2008In California, there are fifty percent traffic accidents that result in fatality for individuals who drive drunk. These staggering numbers indicate the reason for so many frequent prosecuted offenses. California has increased its enforcement of Drug-related and DUI traffic violations...
Violent Crime Decrease and TV
Posted on January 08, 2008An editorial from one of our guest writers… Great news! Violent crime in the U.S. has decreased by almost 60% since 1993. As a former law student, I’m wondering why. First, I must say I’m a bit surprised that the decrease is so significant...
