I was typing in a Q about whether the court is required to inform the defendant of the boundaries separating criminal responses to an unwanted pubic encounter, from lawful alternatives –especially as relates to eventual jury instructions. The site timeout ate that one. The case I am looking at was c...

Did that to me too! Went to court to put away more bad actors involved in a break-in of my vehicle with me in it, and store cameras recording. Prime doer got criminal mischief to answer for. Witness on the other side said something to the guards and got into the courtroom with his gun. Then the assi...

I sincerely appreciate your breadth and depth in legal knowledge. Legalexperts.com or whatever was difficult and is now gone, so the only way joe blow can get legal direction is to wildly guess local statutes or go to jail on the odd chance "the process" will "enumerate" a damn t...

So the public has no right to know if a spitting-on-the-sidewalk case is an infraction, misdemeanor, or felony? Or is this covered by the a trial with a public invite and/or the transcript? I'm not sure miss liberty isn't running to the rape center on this one.

My longtime personal physician retired recently and now I am denied the free annual healthcare checkup that I always got. They want $350 each physical. Is a free annual checkup standard for Medicare, or am I misinformed? Thx.

Thank you for the response - you mention every issue I am worried about. I bought it from Craigslist - cash / no receipt. Morissette (1952) bothers me here b/c of the generality of the SCOTUS definitions of criminal conversion of gov't property, so I wonder if the serial number on the bike prevents ...

I recently bought a 2000 EV Global Motors PE electric bike from Craigslist at a scrap price, where PE stands for Police Edition. It has been out of production since that year. Is this government property that I am disallowed from selling? It is a working museum piece and should fetch north of $1500,...
