Court: Legal status can't be used in civil cases
Legal Watch |

A person's legal status in the country can't be used in civil cases by attorneys to intimidate or coerce under a new rule approved by the Washington Supreme Court last week.
Since 2007, advocates have been working to make the change to the Rules of Professional conduct that attorneys licensed in the state must adhere to following. The lobbying began after members of the Latino/a Bar Association of Washington had seen attorneys and, in some cases, judges discuss a person's legal status in the country openly in court to intimidate.
"We thought it was unethical to do," said Lorena Gonzalez, who was president of the attorney association at the time. "We looked at the rules there was silence on the issue."
The rule does not affect criminal cases, but does cover civil matters, such as family disputes, personal injury claims, workplace cases, medical malpractice and other fields. |

Appeals court to hear dispute over BP settlement

A federal appeals court is wading into a high-stakes dispute over the terms of a multibillion-dollar settlement of claims arising from BP's massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear arguments Monday by attorneys for the London-based oil giant and for Gulf Coast businesses that say the nation's worst offshore oil spill cost them money.
BP asserts that the judge who approved the deal and a court-appointed claims administrator have misinterpreted the settlement, allowing thousands of businesses to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in payments for inflated and fictitious losses.
"The result is that thousands of claimants that suffered no losses are coming forward in ever-increasing numbers, seeking and obtaining outrageous windfalls and making a mockery of what was intended to be a fair and honest court-supervised settlement process," company attorneys wrote in their brief for the hearing. |

Court rejects cat hoarders' appeal of convictions

The Montana Supreme Court has denied the appeal of a northwestern Montana couple's conviction of aggravated cruelty to animals after 116 cats were found living in filthy, snowbound trailers.
The Daily Inter Lake reports the court announced the decision July 2 involving Edwin and Cheryl Criswell.
The cats were found in December 2010 and a jury the following year found the couple guilty. In October 2011 Cheryl Criswell received a two-year sentence deferred over six years. Edwin Criswell received a two-year suspended sentence but later violated his probation by testing positive for marijuana and methamphetamine. In January he was sentenced to two years in prison.
In September 2006, the Criswells entered Alford pleas to 10 counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty in northern Idaho in what officials then called the largest animal hoarding case in state history involving 430 animals.
In the Montana case, the Criswells contended they were wrongly convicted because during the trial Flathead County Deputy Attorney Ken Park called them "professional freeloaders," prejudicing the jury. |

Theft can be defined as unpermitted control over property. This may be thoughtfully planned out and intentional or may be through deception. Maryland theft convictions depend on the value of the stolen property. With a value of $1,000 or more is guilty of a felony subject to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $ 10,000. If the value of the stolen property is less than $1,000, the charges is a little less severe and will be considered a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment not exceeding 18 months or a fine not exceeding $500 or both.
Another form of theft that is seen as more hostile is robbery. This type of theft can be defined as forceful taking of a property. Committing a robbery can have serious consequences and someone who violates this section of MD statute is guilty of a felony
and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 15 years. If a weapon is used in the commission of crime, or “a written instrument claiming the person has possession of a dangerous weapon” –then the maximum sentence is increased to 20 years.
It is important to know where to turn to when you are accused on a theft crime. If you find yourself in this situation, it is crucial to contact a MD criminal lawyer specialized in theft and robbery cases to safeguard your rights and to scrutinize the government’s case and to discover all exculpatory evidence. |
