I love reading blogs, in fact that is probably a large part of the reason that I decided to start this very blog you are reading now. I read all kinds of blogs and one of my favorites is the Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney Blog | California Criminal Law Forum. This is written by former LA prosecutor Dmitry Gorin (pictured below) who blogs about criminal law, latest law news or stories, courtroom defenses and many many more topics. If you are interested in criminal law or just keeping up with the latest in that area then I recommend you visit the blog.
In a previous post I wrote about New Hampshire repealed it’s parental notification law. This law would have made it the parent’s right to know when their UNDERAGE daughter was going to have an abortion. The fact that we need a law that makes it a parent’s right to know what their MINOR daughter is up [...]
Most of the House Republicans just walked out on the vote - House 2008 Roll Call Vote 60. Republican leadership said that the House of Representatives should be working on confirming the Senate's authorization for electronic spying by the government against the American people instead. Can you believe that? The Republicans really think that enforcing the law is a frivolous activity that should be sacrificed for the sake of making the President of the United States into a totalitarian spy master.

By Paul Majendie LONDON (Reuters) - Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, spiritual leader of the world's Anglicans, said on Thursday the introduction of some aspects of Islamic Sharia law in Britain was unavoidable. Other religions enjoyed tolerance of their laws in Britain, he said, and he called for a "constructive accommodation" with Muslim practice in areas such as marital disputes. Asked in a BBC interview if the adoption of Sharia law was necessary for community cohesion, Williams said: "It seems unavoidable. "Certain conditions of Sharia are already recognised in our society and under our law, so it is not as if we are bringing in an alien and rival system." The issue of integrating Britain's 1.8 million Muslims has been widely debated since July 2005 when four British Islamists carried out suicide bombings on London's transport network, killing 52 people. Sharia is the body of Islamic religious law based on the Koran, the words and actions
The Archbishop of Canterbury created a firestorm of controversy when he said the introduction of sharia law for Bitish Muslims was “unavoidable.” he told a BBC audience Muslims should be able to choose whether to have matters such as marital disputes dealt with under sharia law or the British legal system. A spokesperson for Gordon [...]

The guy steals a 50 cent package of doughnuts, because he had two previous felony theft convictions, this charge automatically became a felony charge under California law. He was busted for not paying for a small package of donuts, and now he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Friday in court, Robert Fassbender’s attorney, Michael Webb, tried to get the charges dropped before having to go to trial. But the District Attorney’s Office plans to prosecute the case to the hilt, even if it means life in prison for Fassbender under California’s controversial three strikes law. [...] But Kern County District Attorney Ed Jagels said Fassbender has earned his third strike, with two previous felonies dating back to 1977 and 1999 for robbery. My brother and I had argued about this yesterday. He says it's a waste of taxpayer money to send this guy to prison for 25 to life over a 50 cent package of doughnuts. I say good riddance, the law is the law and he broke the law. If he would n

By Missy Ryan and Charles Abbott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A shaky economy and the Iraq war may dominate President George W. Bush's State of the Union address on Monday, but the lame-duck leader is also expected to mention farm legislation and pending trade deals that are bread-and-butter issues for America's farm economy. The State of the Union, which will be broadcast around the world, has in the past been a platform to send messages to foreign capitals on pressing issues like national security. The 40-plus-minute speech also gives the president a vehicle for speaking to a more local audience on issues that normally do not make the headlines, like agriculture. "That means taking credit for the recently enacted expansion of renewable energy, laying down a marker on expectation for farm policy, and pleading for action" on trade deals, said Gary Blumenthal, an analyst at World Perspectives. The speech comes as Bush and Congress square off over the farm bill, the $286 bil
By Ben Hirschler DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Climate campaigner Al Gore challenged policymakers on Thursday to step up action against the "planetary emergency" of global warming by making new laws, saying action by individuals could help only at the margins. In a swipe at the Bush administration's environmental record, the former U.S. Vice President also said any new government in Washington after elections in November could only be an improvement. "In addition to changing the light bulbs, it is far more important to change the laws and to change the treaty obligations that nations have," Gore told delegates at the World Economic Forum annual meeting, "One simple thing that will solve the climate crisis is to put a price on carbon ... It needs to be effective globally," he said at the forum of business and political leaders in Davos, where economic fears have overshadowed climate problems. Gore, who narrowly lost to President George Bush in the
Obituary: Himie BernadtByDenis Herbstein Himie Bernadt, the attorney who protected Nelson Mandela from the vicious prison regime on Robben Island, has died, aged 98. By the time he was forced to retire in 2001, no longer able to drive into his Cape Town office, he had become South Africa's longest-serving lawyer.A man of good sense and few words, always softly spoken, Bernadt was born into an immigrant family in Pretoria, the son of a struggling baker. At eight, he endured jibes of "Jood, Jood" (Jew boy) from Afrikaner classmates, until one day he lashed out and was thereafter left alone. After his mother died, the family migrated to Cape Town, and Bernadt moved in with a better-off uncle. He flourished at South African College school before qualifying as a lawyer in 1931.To begin with his practice covered the rough and tumble of African life - from company law to illicit diamond buying. The first trade union he worked for was a Muslim women's association. He appeared regularly - and

TOKYO (Reuters) - Support for Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda's government has risen over the past month, though nearly half of respondents said the passage of a law to restart an Afghan naval mission was inappropriate, a poll showed on Saturday. The approval rating for the cabinet rose 6.1 percentage points from last month to 41.4 percent, according to the telephone opinion poll conducted by Kyodo news agency on Friday and Saturday. It had fallen more than 11 percent the previous month. Still, the poll showed the number of those opposed to the cabinet was more than the supporters, accounting for 42.8 percent. According to the poll, 46.7 percent of the respondents said the passage of a law on Friday to restart the Afghan naval mission was inappropriate. Japan's government forced the law through parliament to resume a controversial naval mission in support of U.S.-led operations in Afghanistan, keeping a promise to security ally Washington.

As I have said, take away the illegal aliens reasons for being here and they will just leave...From USA Today:Since 1804 was approved in Oklahoma, 15,000-25,000 illegal immigrants have left Tulsa County, the Greater Tulsa Hispanic Chamber of Commerce says. Executive director Francisco Treviño bases the estimate on school enrollment, church attendance and reports from bus companies with service to Mexico."People are leaving to Mexico or Canada or other states," says Jim Garcia, manager of Tulsa's El Mercadito, a Hispanic grocery.

The Kate Moss sex tape story is heating up. According to Page Six, Moss and her legal team are trying to block her ex-boyfriend, Pete Doherty from selling a sex tape the former couple made, as well as talking to British TV about their love life. The Babyshambles frontman is negotiating with Britain's ITV2 network to tell all about their romance and share his home videos of her in a documentary titled "Kate & Pete: A Love Story." Doherty, who split with Moss last summer, could make $1 million, a source said, adding, "Producers hope he'll let them use a lot of film he and Kate shot on camcorders." But an insider told PageSix.com, "Kate is furious with Pete. She has contacted her lawyers and plans to get an injunction to stop the production." Moss will be horrified if the tapes surface. "Some of it is really raunchy stuff Kate believed would never be seen by anyone else," we're told. "She'll feel betrayed."Yeah, I'm not 100% sure I would really want to see a Kate Moss sex tape. Espe
When you ask them why they’re in favor of various policies that hurt people, like racial segregation, laws against various forms of consensual sex, and the relaxation of industrial pollution standards, conservatives will often tell you that they’re not really in favor of those policies, just “states’ rights” to engage in those policies.
