A new law in California could subject the parents of children who don't make it to school each day to hefty fines and in extreme cases, jail time. Advocates of this new law claim that the extreme penalties are a good deterrent, keeping parents in line with the compulsory education attendance policies and insuring that their children get the full benefit of their education. 

However, according to the NYC Criminal Lawyer, those who oppose this new law claim that it is just another way to strong arm parents into submission and to take away their freedom to raise their children the way they see fit. While there are extreme cases involving lack of responsibility or concern for the whereabouts of their children, in many cases the truancy fines and penalties are being imposed upon parents who are doing the best they can to make sure their children are at school. 

These parents are good, hardworking people who are living life to the best of their ability and sometimes that involves their children not being in school. Not everyone places the same dogmatic importance on public school as the powers that be would like for us to, opponents of the bill claim. Education should be thought of as a way to enrich a child's life and not control it. A parent who wishes to keep their child home from school for a day trip to an orchard or a museum could find themselves in hot water if they make a habit of it.

 New York Criminal Lawyers know the same laws that are meant to protect children who have negligent parents can and will affect those parents who have a different ideology when it comes to what life and education are really about. In the case of this new California law, parents could end up facing a year in jail and a $2000 fine. 

Though laws are put into place for the good of all, they can sometimes fall short by hurting the people they are trying to protect.

Not one, not two, not even three, but well over one hundred different police agencies throughout the great state of California got together and announced a new plan that would be in place to discourage people from drinking then driving, said a New York City Criminal Defense Lawyer. The plan was to start with the holiday season and then continue into the new year. Don't take the party on the road, was the new slogan. A catchy, simple reminder that alcohol and cars simply do not mix - no matter what someone may think in a dumb moment of booze induced stupidity.

Young men, fueled with testosterone and who knows what else are the worst offenders, a police spokesperson told a NY City Criminal Defense Lawyer. They drink, drive, and think they can take on the world. They have a self-centered world view where they are king and everyone else exists to simply help them live however they want. Drinking and driving is a problem all over the country, but California has seen its fair share pain and horror. In L.A. alone there were over one hundred and fifty DWI related deaths.

Police recommended many simple steps people can take all in an effort to lessen their likelihood of killing someone while drinking and driving. A New York City Criminal Defense Lawyer indicated that they encouraged people to pick a designated driver, locate public transportation, or make arrangements to stay the night.

An Alabama man is finding himself in some pretty hot water after running off with a 16 year old girl from Texas that he met on the Internet, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer. The teen girl was reported missing after she had been seen getting into the man’s truck while she was visiting relatives and friends in the town of Daphne, near where the 20 year old man lived. The girl was found unharmed and it does not appear that she was forced into the truck with the accused.

The two had met online several months before the incident and their Internet relationship quickly became serious. After a short time, they made plans to meet in real life as soon as possible. Once the young girl went missing and authorities were notified, what had started out as an online romance turned into a possible felony conviction for the man she was with. They were found in an apartment in Enterprise a week after the girl was reported as missing.

The N York Criminal Lawyer claimed the El Paso teen is expected to be returned to her mother in Texas. At this time, the man is being charged with interference with child custody. Alabama law recognizes this charge as a Class C felony, for which the accused could receive up to ten years in jail, if convicted. It is not known whether or not the mother of the young girl was aware of this online exchange prior to the girl’s disappearance.

A man was arrested earlier this month when his wife was found in bed, covered with urine and feces, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer.

The woman, who suffered from an illness that caused her to be bedridden, was supposedly under the care of her husband. However, authorities have determined that he left his wife alone in the bedroom for two to three days at a time.

The room in which the woman was found was reported to be in deplorable condition. Only one EMT, a female worker who was smaller in stature, managed to squeeze through a six inch gap in the doorway.

Neighbors had been concerned about the woman's health and condition since the couple moved into the area about two years ago. Neighbors reported hearing the husband yelling at the woman on a regular basis. Concerns amongst the neighbors grew when the woman was seemingly disappeared during the summer. The husband reported that she was in a nursing home, but neighbors remained skeptical. When neighbors discovered an odor emanating from the home, authorities were alerted, said a NY Criminal Lawyer.

The woman is expected to recover from the alleged assault. She is currently a patient at a local hospital. She has filed a protective order against her husband; the decision for this order is still pending. Her husband us currently jailed, charged with abuse, neglect and unlawful imprisonment.

This is the second time in a year the woman had to be removed from the home. After the previous hospital stay, she was taken to a group home. It is unclear how or why she returned to her husband's home.

Although family is the cornerstone for most of us, the ties that bind do not always mean loyalty and love. In the case of one 40 year old man, his loyalty turned out to be more towards himself than to his elderly 89 year old grandmother. According to a New York Criminal LawyerSteve Bilkis the man is being charged with larceny after having stolen over $100,000 from his grandmother’s trust fund. 

Reports said that as a result of the financial drain caused by the embezzlement, the elderly woman had been forced to move from her home, losing everything and having to relocate to a small, dirty trailer, said the New York Criminal Lawyer. 

Apparently, within two weeks of her grandson being named as the trustee by the probate court, the man began taking large chunks of money out of his grandmother’s account and depositing it into two different accounts that he used for businesses that he owned. By the time the elderly woman realized what was going on she had been effectively drained of money. 

She lost her house after her grandson had failed to pay her mortgage as she had entrusted him to do. Now, explains the New York Criminal Attorney, the man is attempting to make up for the tremendous damage that he caused her and is paying her back slowly over time. Her grandson was released from jail after posting bond and is working to make good on his mistakes while he is waiting to appear in court.

"She tried to get away going eastbound on Santa Cruz," said a Police spokesperson.
"It looked like she was trying to go across the median because she saw a lot of traffic, but was unsuccessful because of the tree."

The accidents began when the driver backed out of her parking spot, and struck two parked cars while simultaneously pinning a man between two cars. While others in the parking lot helped free the trapped man, she flew down another street and hit two parked cars, one with a woman in it, before finally hitting the tree to end her tirade.

"The accidents took place in two different spots, but it didn't take that long," New York Criminal Lawyers report.

The man who was trapped between two cars and the woman who was in one of the parked cars she hit were both left with minor injuries.

The suspect was taken to the police station where she refused a field sobriety test. A Phlebotomist checked her blood was unavailable for comment on the results.

Hurd allegedly gave the information to a woman who worked for HP as an event hostess... a woman who, coincidentally, later accused the former chief executive of sexual harassment; a charge which no doubt caused him some considerable grief since he left the company shortly thereafter.

The New York Criminal Lawyer said that people who know Hurd stand by him, vocalizing that he acts appropriately in all situations. Hurd denied having any kind of relationship with the event hostess in question, but even so, the SEC is looking back at the ways that he used company funds in his dealings with her to see if that provides any clues as to the level of their interaction.

Sources told the New York Criminal Lawyer that officials at H-P are cooperating fully with the SEC in regards to the investigation and that more inquiry will be needed to determine the course of action that will be taken in the future.

Just because someone finds himself under suspicion of a crime does not mean that he is guilty of committing it.

He would grab her fingers, hold them tightly the way a bear holds a fish, force them into the frame of the door, reach back his other hand, and slam the mighty wooden door into her fingers. Wood and metal came crashing into her tiny hands, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. Then, he would grab a pot of tea, fresh of the scalding hot burner, and whip it at her. Pouring and dousing her in flesh burning water. And after that was all done, he would go to work as a rising political star and Mayor of a small town, said a New York Criminal Lawyer.

Today, he has been convicted of five of nine charges, reports a New York Criminal Lawyer. Perhaps most astonishing is that he refuses to quit. He has said he will not leave his post, that the townspeople will quite literally have to throw him out of office, stated a New York Criminal Lawyer. He puffs his chest out and declares that he has done nothing wrong, that the justice system which he was happy to be Mayor of, has failed and is wrong.

More sickening it that the Mayor tried to use his political power to ruin her reputation. He put out reports that she was money hungry and was trying to blackmail him, indicated a New York Criminal Lawyer. A judge saw through the lies and convicted him anyways. This time, the powerful were brought to their knees to face the swift feeling of justice.

Irony. Perhaps the most misquoted and least understood word in the English language, which may in fact be an irony unto itself. When we see it, we laugh because we all appreciate the humor that irony can bring. Well, one teenager has outdone himself when it comes to winning the trophy of most ironically dressed. At a costume party, the clever boy came dressed as something everyone knew too well. He was an instant hit and everyone appreciated his look. The costume? He was a breathalizer machine, reports a New York Criminal Lawyer. Dear reader, you can imagine what happened next. Yes, the boy was pulled over late at night by a police officer and it was then that the boy also failed a breathalizer test. Yes, the breathalizer boy was driving drunk! The irony of it all!

In fact, the boy blew more than twice the state's legal limit, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. And, to make matters worse, he was not legally old enough to even drink. A search of his vehicle revealed an open container of beer and another open container of vodka, noted a New York Criminal Lawyer. Apparently the police officer did not appreciate the irony of the situation and booked the boy on driving under the influence and of driving with an open container and of driving while intoxicated while being a minor, said a New York Criminal Lawyer.

Incredibly, this is not the first time this has happened. Last year a man in Ohio fell to the same fate.

While the situations may seem funny, the consequences can be real. If you've been charged with a DUI contact a New York Criminal Attorney today.

If the nation thought Arizona was the frontline of the debate on illegal immigration it ain't seen nothing yet. Emboldened by gains in the recent elections, conservative lawmakers in the Austin, Texas state legislature are preparing to introduce new laws regulating illegal immigration in the state, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. The Texas law would mimic that of the one passed last year in Arizona. That Arizona law is currently undergoing many challenges from the Obama Administration and will likely end up being heard before the United States of America's Supreme Court, noted a New York Criminal Lawyer. How that court rules could have a staggering and drastic effect on immigration in the United States of America.

But Texas, a state known not to be messed with, isn't stopping there. It also seeks to introduce a bill that would create a law mandating that one present a photo ID when voting, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. Currently, laws throughout the United States require a photo ID to buy cough medicine, rent video tapes, and other simple measures, but to vote? So far, no law requires such an ID in Texas. The new law may change that. And a challenge in the Supreme Court is likely to follow, notes a New York Criminal Lawyer.

And that's not all. The Texas legislature will also seek to ban a new drug: K2, reports a New York Criminal Lawyer. K2 is a new street drug that gives a marijuana like high and is considered highly addictive according to addiction specialists. The law would make possession of K2 a felony punishable by up to two years in prison, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. Whether this will be passed is anyone's guess and its potential effectiveness will be determined in the years to come.

Legislatures pass new laws creating new crimes all the time and ignorance of the law is no excuse. If you've been charged with a crime contact a New York Criminal Attorney today.

Yet another attack on gays has happened in New York, this time against a bartender in the city’s oldest gay bar, a New York Criminal Lawyer reported. A 45-year-old man is charged with beating up two other men on October 11, authorities told a New York Criminal Lawyer.
The suspect made his first attack inside Ty’s Bar, taking his wallet and cutting his face when he punched him, authorities told a New York Criminal Lawyer. The 31-year-old victim needed medical attention, including stitches after the attack.
Around ten minutes later, the suspect arrived at Julius Bar, the city’s oldest gay bar, and argued with the bartender after being refused service. “What are you going to do, you f----- n-----,” he was said to yell at the 26-year-old bartender while hitting him in the face. “You are a f----- f----.”
The suspect was arrested and charged with felony assault as a hate crime, as well as attempted robbery. The Hate Crimes Unit for the Manhattan district attorney’s office is in charge of the prosecution.
Earlier in the moth, two men from Staten Island were charged with assault for beating a man while screaming anti-gay slurs in a bathroom at the Stonewall Inn, one of the most famous gay bars in the country. “It is unacceptable that perpetrators of anti-LGBTQ violence feel emboldened to come into any neighborhood, including gay-friendly neighborhoods, and attack LGBTQ people because of who we are,” said the executive director of a gay and transgender rights group.

OJ Simpson is going to jail for a long long time. After one appeal after another Simpson's case was finally heard by the Nevada Supreme Court, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. The court affirmed the lower court ruling finding Simpson guilty. Simpson was charged with conspiracy to commit a number of crimes, including: robbery, burglary while in possession of a deadly weapon, and multiple counts of first degree kidnapping. Conspiracy is a unique crime in that one need not actually commit the crime in order to be found guilty, notes a New York Criminal Lawyer. Rather, all that need be proven is that a person agreed with another person to commit a crime and then that one of those people took an action in furtherance of the crime. A jury found that Simpson had done so and he was convicted of conspiracy.

Simpson is most famous from his days as a star football player, famous actor, and of course from his mid-90s murder trial. Simpson was found not guilty at the time, a decision was raised the ire of many. The trial itself spawn much of today's modern "court TV" as well and is considered a major moment in the 20th Century of the United States. At the time Simpson vowed to find the real killers. He then mostly played golf.

One of Simpson's co-conspirators had his conviction reversed and a new trial has been ordered for the man, noted a New York Criminal Lawyer.

Simpson claimed that all he was doing was trying to retrieve his property, including family photos and heirlooms, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. Simpson's attorney attempted to claim that the conviction was payback for Simpson's prior not-guilty. The Supreme Court did not agree.

Murder, conspiracy, and burglary are serious crimes and require the aid of an experienced attorney. If you've been charged with these or any other crime you should contact a New York Criminal Attorney.

A corrections officer who was brandishing a gun, seems to lead a charmed life. Cops shot at him 20 times and he was only shot in the arm once, sources told a New York Criminal Lawyer. The 35-year-old guard was shot at about 3:45 a.m. in the Bronx after he defied requests to drop his 9mm Glock.

“There were lots of shots. It sounded like 50,” said a 55-year-old witness. She ducked into an alley with her Yorkie when the guns started to go off.

Video surveillance shows the guard walking down the street with the loaded Glock, a personal weapon of his.

Facebook is busy creating new ways to detect when the user accounts have been hacked and adds warnings for when Facebook accounts are accessed in unusual ways or from unusual locations for that account.
“The latest thing you’ll see is that is a major issue is people hacking into accounts. Now, if you’re logging in from an unusual location, you’ll get extra security questions and if you want to login by a new device [Facebook] notifies you by SMS or email,” the public policy head said to a New York Criminal Lawyer.

In New York, the crime of Criminal Possession of Stolen Property is defined as a person knowingly possessing stolen property, with the intent to benefit himself (or another person), other than the rightful owner of the property, or to impede recovery of the stolen property of the owner. This crime is similar to Grand Larceny, and can be considered either a misdemeanor or felony. If you have been accused of this, or other theft crime, it is important to contact a New York Criminal Possession of Stolen Property Lawyer. Being convicted of this crime can result in jail time, significant fines, and probation.
Criminal Possession of Stolen Property is general covered in Section 165 of the New York Penal Law. There are five degrees of this crime, depending on the value of the property involved. The breakdown of this crime is as follows:

Section 165.40 Criminal Possession in the 5th Degree: Defendant knowingly possesses stolen property with the intent to benefit himself or someone else, other than the owner of the property, or impede recovery of the property by the rightful owner. This crime is an A misdemeanor, which is punishable by a maximum of one year in jail.

Section 165.45: Criminal Possession in the 4th Degree: Same as above but value of the property exceeds $1,000. This is a Class E felony. A felony is punishable by a minimum of one year in prison.

Section 165.50 Criminal Possession in the 3d Degree: Same as above but the property value exceeds $3,000.. This is considered a Class D felony.

Section 165.53 Criminal Possession in the 2nd Degree: Same as above but the value of the property exceeds $50,000. This is considered a Class C felony.

Section 165.52 Criminal Possession in the 1st Degree: Same as above, but property exceeds $1 million in value. The is a Class B felony.

It is important to obtain the advice of a qualified New York Criminal Possession of Stolen Property Lawyer, as these cases may become complicated. There is a legal presumption that when a defendant knowingly possesses an item of stolen property, it is presumed that it is being kept to benefit himself, or a person other than the owner. This goes a bit further in that it is presumed that if the defendant is in possession of the property shortly after the theft is committed, and they cannot explain why they have the item, or where the property came from, a negative inference can be made that they committed this crime. It is important to note that it is not a defense that the person who actually stole the property has not been identified, or that the defendant participated in the theft, or the larceny (theft) did not occur in the state.

It is important to obtain the counsel of a New York Criminal Lawyer to ensure that you are adequately defended, and that your rights are protected.

If you are arrested and taken into custody, the issue of setting bail will be addressed at your Arraignment. This is of course unless you are released on your “own recognizance,” in which case no bail will be posted and you will be released. A bail reduction would be called for if for some reason, there has been a change in circumstances.The purpose of bail is that the court wants to ensure that you will return to court after your Arraignment for further court proceedings. Failure to return will not only result in a forfeiture of your bail, but also a Bench Warrant for your Arrest. The crime for which bail will be posted varies greatly, a Misdemeanor, DWI, Sex Crime or Drug Possession charges could all result in the judge posted bail. Perhaps you are dealing with a White Collar Crime, such as Mail Fraud, Securities Fraud or Bank Fraud. If you have received a Desk Appearance Ticket, your process will be slightly different since you were not taken into custody at the time of your Arrest, however it is still vitally important that you attend your Arraignment hearing.

It is important to be aware that the Criminal Court judge has a substantial degree of discretion in whether he/sets bail and how much. This is why it is so very important to be accompanied by a New York Criminal Lawyer at your Arraignment. The judge will be looking at aspects of your case, such as the crime you are accused of, and the dangerous or violent nature of the offense. The judge will also determine if you are considered a “flight risk,” if you are likely to return to court for your proceedings in the future or not. In order to determine this, the judge will take things into consideration such as your prior criminal record, whether you are employed, and for how long, as well if you own your own home, and if you have a substantial presence of friends and family in the area. It will be the job of your Long Island Criminal Lawyer to convince the judge to either release you without any bail being posted (“OR”) or setting the smallest amount feasible under the circumstances. Once bail is posted it will be up to your friends and family to post bail for you. Most commonly, a Bail Bondsman will be used.

If something has occurred regarding your case, your New York Bail Reduction Lawyer will make an application to court and present the new circumstances or facts to the court, in an effort to get your bail reduced. If the court finds that there has in fact been a substantial change in circumstances, the judge may reduce or even eliminate your bail.

Having the support and guidance of a New York Bail Reduction Lawyer is extremely important during the bail and bail reduction process.

A murderer convicted of killing a popular Realtor was sentenced to 27 1/3 years to life in
prison. The killer was unrepentant as she faced the family of her victim, even smirking
some in the courtroom, according to Long Island Criminal Lawyers. She was found guilty of
beating her former employer, Linda Stein, to death for which she received the maximum
sentence of 25 years to life, and for stealing $30,000, adding 2 1/3 to 7 years to her
punishment. The victim's family addressed the defendant directly in court, but could not
get even a single glance in their direction from her. A Long Island Criminal Lawyer says the
accused sat coldly, refusing to look at the daughters of the deceased. The woman had
served as a personal assistant to the Realtor before the incident. One of the victim's two
daughters found her beaten body in a penthouse on the upper East Side. The killer
insisted that the trial was unfair, and that she was not represented with competence.
Her newly hired defense attorney shared with New York Criminal Lawyers that his client
was innocent and pleaded with the judge for mercy. The judge was not swayed, and said
he would discourage any chance of parole. The family of the killer confronted one of the
daughters of the Realtor outside the courtroom and suggested she was responsible for
the death of her mother. This allegation and the lack of emotion from their mother's
slayer traumatized the sisters even more.

Criminal matters must be handled with care and adequacy in order to receive optimum
results. New York Criminal Attorneys have the qualifications and intelligence to represent
their clients and achieve the most advantageous conclusion for all parties. For your best
opportunity to receive a fair trial and representation, call a New York Criminal Attorney.

The bloodbath was carefully planned by two teenagers, one 17 and the other 16 reports a Long Island Criminal Lawyer.

Reports indicate that the two spent weeks trying to find the best ways to construct a bomb. Their computer searches show that they had been looking through various bomb-making websites for some time. Long Island Criminal Lawyers report that the two were only waiting until the older of the two, a 17-year-old male, turned 18.

Once the male suspect turned 18, he would be able to buy firepower that was deemed by the two as necessary for handling the assault. The two had already attempted to buy a shotgun but weren’t able to do so because of their age. The oldest would be 18 on June 8 and the two were planning to purchase the assault weapon at that time. New York Criminal Lawyers indicate that the boy’s social worker alerted authorities that they two might be planning an attack.

Regardless of where justice comes from, the heart, heaven or the criminal justice system, sometimes believing that justice will be served is the best way to cope with the loss of a loved one. A mother of two boys, a seventeen-year-old and a seven-year-old, discussed how her husband was shot while their oldest son watched. She believes the criminals shot the man after he refused to lie down on the ground. His wife believes he did this in order to prevent the murder of both he and his seventeen-year-old son

Apparently the would-be robbers approached the father and son demanding that both men lie down on the ground. The seventeen-year-old did as he was told but his father remained standing. His widow believed he did this thinking that if they both were lying down the men in possession of a weapon and demanding money would just shoot both of them and that by not lying down he was at least saving the life of his own son. The man & his wife had been married nineteen years.

Two men have been charged with the death of the landscaper who came to the United States from El Salvador fifteen years ago. Another suspect is also being sought at. The alleged gunman pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder and first-degree attempted robbery. This criminal said he shot the man because he would not lie down. He was being held without bail and ordered to return to court next month. Another suspect, an eighteen-year-old, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. This suspect was found with a bullet in his pocket that matched the one that killed the El Salvadorian father.

Security video in a nearby delicatessen was seized by authorities confirmed the details of the shooting. As it was, the victim was shot in front of his son and possibly in order to save his life although he had no money to give the would-be robbers.

The general consensus is and always has been that a criminal act simply does not pay. And, regardless of one man’s public service for over thirty years, the injustice he is charged with is difficult to understand. His attorney asked the judge to offer leniency by taking into consideration the letters of over three hundred people who were in support of the assemblyman. The criminal act committed by the man is vague but apparently he had collected approximately one million dollars in consulting fees and in his own words, he had taken the money for “doing nothing”.

However, the judge stated that even after reading the letters, the man’s guilt was even more obvious. The judge said that the man was still refusing to admit the extent of his guilt. Moreover, 15,000 phone calls had been intercepted and these conversations alone were enough to show the bogus consulting firm that this man was operating. The crime resulted in what the man indicated was “nothing”, but in reality, his behavior had resulted in the shake down of a hospital, a college and a lobbying organization. Again, the wiretaps revealed the man admitting “we don’t have to do nothing”, however, he managed to take down organizations and profit a million dollars.

In situations like this one, The Law Office of Steven Bilkis and Associates and its Long island Criminal Lawyers are available to help clients. In this particular scenario, the crime resulted in the forfeiture of one million dollars and a prison term, although his attorney was seeking home detention.
