School Teacher Secrets
Submitted by rodman on Mon, 07/20/2009 - 03:53In Harrisburg Pennsylvania on June 25th 1979 early on a Monday morning the Marion Police Department get a strange call. A Spanish sounding man by the name of Larry Brown says there is a sick woman lying in the back of her car at the rear of a hotel. An officer is dispatched to the scene. The nude lifeless body of a respected teacher named Susan Rienhart was found dead in the back of her Volkswagen hatchback. She was a teacher at a very prestigious upper Marion High school, 90 miles from Harrisburg. During her autopsy it was determined that she had been given a "hot shot" of narcotics which killed her. She had flecks of red carpet fiber in her hair and had marks on her back that looked like she had been whipped. Also found are some grains of sand between her toes which is strange as there is no beach in any direction for many, many miles. At the crime scene the only thing found of significant evidentiary value was a comb under the body with a military base insignia. Little did the police know that this was about to turn into one of Pennsylvania's most baffling mysteries.

Criminal Law Overview
Criminal law involves prosecution by the government of a person for an act that has been classified as a crime. Civil cases, on the other hand, involve individuals and organizations seeking to resolve legal disputes. In a criminal case, the state, through a prosecutor, initiates the suit, while in a civil case the victim brings the suit. Persons convicted of a crime may be incarcerated, fined, or both. However, persons found liable in a civil case may only have to give up property or pay money, but are not incarcerated.
A "crime" is any act or omission (of an act) in violation of a public law forbidding or commanding it. Though there are some common law crimes, most crimes in the United States are established by local, state, and federal governments. Criminal laws vary significantly from state to state. There is, however, a Model Penal Code (MPC) which serves as a good starting place to gain an understanding of the basic structure of criminal liability.
Crimes include both felonies (more serious offenses -- like murder or rape) and misdemeanors (less serious offenses -- like petty theft or jaywalking). Felonies are usually crimes punishable by imprisonment of a year or more, while misdemeanors are crimes punishable by less than a year. However, no act is a crime if it has not been previously established as such either by statute or common law. Recently, the list of Federal crimes, dealing with activities extending beyond state boundaries or having special impact on federal operations, has grown. See Title 18.
Criminal Law Issues
Submitted by selectsplat on Wed, 07/15/2009 - 19:37Many people become lawyers because they see injustices in the world and they want to make a difference. They want to see that certain laws are upheld, while decrying other laws. This is very noble indeed from a philosophical perspective. For instance, these individuals wish to help the world, unfortunately many young lawyers do not understand the world well enough to realize what they might end up doing would actually cause harm.
When lawyers seek to use the law to punish people that they feel are causing injustices or doing something that they feel is not right, they use their power as a lawyer almost like a policeman uses their badge to enforce the law. But lawyers are not policeman and they are not marshals. This is activism, and these lawyers when they become judges or politicians are really problematic to our society.
Not long ago, the president said in a speech to a nonprofit activist group; you have a friend in the White House and they took it to mean; "You Have an Activist Friend in the White House!" The room was filled with activists, which were lawyers, along with leaders from the nonprofit groups that were the definition of an activist organization.
Apparently, the president of the United States Barack Obama has promised that his administration will support grassroots type organizations that are activists in nature. This is rather interesting, because this is the first time any of Administration or president has promised to support any activist organization in public. In a way many people believe that our president is an activist himself.
He worked with ACORN and helped to organize groups of people to march or protest various rules and laws that they felt were unjust. Power to the people they proclaimed, and they marched on. If you'll recall Mr. Obama, as an activist lawyer in Chicago had sued Citigroup to make sure that they would make loans to minorities so they can buy homes without discriminating.
Unfortunately, this caused Citigroup due to this lawsuit to make loans to people that could not afford, could not qualify, and would never pay back the mortgages that they took out. We all know what happened with the subprime lending fallout that collapsed our economy. This is just one little historical example of what happens when lawyers think of themselves as enforcers and use their ability and positions in activist way. Please consider all this.
