Miami Criminal Lawyer David Edelstein Regardless of what happened in the locker room, Arenas may be in hot water for violating D.C.'s handgun ban.

Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas admits he drew guns in the team locker room in a highly publicized December 21 incident, but says he was only kidding around.

Negative, it got struck down by the Supreme Court. The Chicago ban is still in court. So unless he was playing the Bulls Arenas will be ok.

Regardless, no license to carry will get you every time!

Gilbert Arenas suspended indefinitely without pay... Washington Wizards star guard could face charges of carrying a handgun without a license, which is a felony and punishable by up to five years behind bars.

Miami Criminal Lawyer David Edelstein Well, it's about time! Kudos to Miami-Dade County Public Defender Carlos Martinez for taking the lead on this issue!

Calling the widespread shackling of juveniles in court ``repugnant, degrading [and] humiliating,'' the Florida Supreme Court issued a new rule Thursday that forbids the restraint of juvenile offenders unless a judge finds that the youth is likely to be violent.

Well...It is about time!

I have often wondered about the psychological impact of the use of shackles and visible restraints.

If the members of a jury are to be impartial, and they see restraints on an offender, it already plants the seed of guilt in their brain. The same too can be said for the offender, as it is not only degrading, but imparts the whiff of a scent of culpability. ... See More

In our modern day and age, it is so easy to maintain a safe and peaceful courtroom. There is simply no need to resort to the barbaric and mid evil practice of shackling.

The hostile nature of the FBI is a carry over from the previous administrations. Often, certain individuals in a position of power take it upon themselves to act as judge and jury, thus taking interrogations to a serious degree.( Sad fact of human nature)

The truth is, once there is an abuse of power for any reason, it sets the tone for the future.

The FBI must follow the rule of law, until such time as it is changed. Most people who have been treated unfairly, or harshly are usually too frightened to come forward to lodge a complaint. Thus, the cycle of abuse will continue.... See More

Be alert Susanna! When IRS packed $420 billion dollars they collect from undocumented immigrants every year to suspense file, this fund promotes the economy of these
United States of America.

The money smells so great that IRS doesn’t care where it comes from. I believe this money might be used for the Iraq war as well. ... See More

Eventually, one of the reasons the US economy collapses is because INS fails to provide the proper document to the 12 millions undocumented people. Today, some US citizens are forced to trade their BMWs for an economic car. Some of them lose their cars and cannot substitute them at all. There are US citizens who are sleeping under bridges, tents, or their cars to make ends need. I bet you the economy could have a turning point if they provide proper document to the 12 million undocumented people.
According to Al Sharpton, the African American activist, some undocumented immigrants were sent to the Iraq war to defend you, your brothers and sisters, your friends and colleagues etc.
How selfish this is for someone to fight for you when you appreciate his/her job (a job that you may not do), but leave his/her friends or family in the shadow?
Even though the government granted them the proper document to go to Iraq or Afghanistan, and if they have relatives who are undocumented, those relatives should have a fair trial, I believe.
You don't have any clue what contribution do undocumented people bring to the U.S economy and many of them would avoid engaging in gossiping.
The world is full of societal issues. Why are you investing your precious time to gossip?
I bet out of all of the women doing manicures at the beauty salon, at least one of them could have a great judgment to differ with you.

The whole point of my post (and the article) is that defense attorneys in S. Florida need to be vigilant when representing non-citizens in an attempt to avoid negative ramifications to their immigration status It's a commentary on the due diligence and professional competence criminal defense lawyers should exercise when representing the non-... See Morecitizen client; it has nothing to do with the choice of who to represent or how zealously to represent them. The government routinely deports people, denies visas, and denies people admission, due to incompetent hack attorneys who treat every case the same.

Miami Criminal Lawyer David Edelstein If we want to call ourselves a "civilized" country, then we can't try children as adults and give them life sentences. Both of the petitioners in the case were sentenced to life in prison for crimes they committed as minors. One of them was 13 years old at the time he committed the crime.

www.google.com
WASHINGTON — A seemingly divided Supreme Court wrestled Monday with whether teenagers can be locked away forever for their crimes. The question arose in two cases involving Florida men who are serving life prison terms with no chance of parole for crimes they committed as teenagers. ...

You can't be serious? How many times we've all done something crazy as kids. So you're telling me I could have gotten life for poking holes in a whole loaf of bread because I couldn't get the peanut butter to act right. But I lied and said my sister did it. This is how our mind works as kids. Only to find out I'm going to jail for it. Not the level of seriousness but sort of the same concept. What is this world coming to?

Miami Criminal Lawyer David Edelstein
Well said, Arla. I think it can be boiled down to following question: is it appropriate to attribute adult reasoning and judgment to children when they commit crimes? If the answer is yes, then there is nothing to discuss. If the answer is no, then we have to make some very difficult policy decisions. It certainly is easier to just answer the question in the affirmative and not engage ourselves.

Miami Criminal Lawyer David Edelstein A cursory reading of the federal statute prohibiting threats against the President (18 U.S.C. § 871 ) which can be found here http://bit.ly/ircmv , raises questions about whether the joker who created this poll could actually be prosecuted. Although it certainly was incendiary, I don't think it could fairly be constru...ed to be a "threat" under the statute.
