More criminal exonerations occurred in 2013 than any year previously

2014-03-05

The American justice system was created on the principal that people are innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, stemming from an "anti-crime" wave of legislation enacted decades ago, more people in recent years have been incarcerated than ever before. In addition, the court system and prosecutors have carried an increased burden in finances and time, so that often individual scrutiny on some cases is harder to obtain than ever. Not coincidentally, more people have become exonerated of their crime (freed from any criminal charge) than at any time in the nation's ...

2014-03-05

Growing old is a privilege but it does come with its challenges.

This is not always the case, however, even for those with limited resources. It is never too early to establish an estate plan. Although there is no magic bullet, an estate plan can help you and your family avoid certain elder law issues. Estate planning While many people think that a will is sufficient to dispense with their assets, there are ...

Missouri lawmakers look to expand texting while driving law

2014-03-05

Even though we are only a few months in 2014, six separate bills have already been introduced in the Missouri legislature seeking to change the state's texting-while-driving law. Most notably, all of the bills introduced aim to expand Missouri's current texting ban to encompass all drivers, and not just those aged 21-years or younger. While it is obviously still too early to know if any of these bills will come to fruition, the fact that so many have been filed in such a short period of time certainly suggests that lawmakers are taking highway safety seriously. Indeed, ...

Medical marijuana makes headway in Florida

2014-03-05

The medical marijuana movement is picking up steam in Florida -- but, for now at least, the drug remains illegal under both state and federal law. On January 27, 2014, the Florida Supreme Court ruled in favor of allowing a proposed constitutional amendment to appear on the state's November ballot, asking Floridians to weigh in on the issue of medical marijuana. If passed, the amendment to the state constitution would pave the way for medical marijuana to be made available in Florida for the treatment of serious medical conditions like AIDS, cancer and Parkinson's disease. In ...

Spike in senior traffic deaths fuels new safety initiative

2014-03-05

In Florida, where one in five drivers is age 65 or above, more senior citizens die in traffic accidents than any other state. This problem is likely to become even more pronounced as Florida's population of elderly drivers continues to grow in the coming years. By 2030, government estimates predict that people age 65 and older will account for one in four Florida drivers. Elsewhere in the country, senior driving safety has also been a matter of growing concern in recent years. Nationwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of ...

Issues may arise when a Georgia parent attempts to move with a child

2014-03-05

In Georgia, one of the most important things to get resolved during any child custody dispute is the establishment of a workable parenting plan. Indeed, it is these plans that dictate when, and where, a child will be in each parent's care. However, while parenting plans can often give parents the security of knowing what to expect in regards to most child custody issues, these plans may not be able to help when quarrels ignite following one parent's attempt to move to another city or state with the child. Child relocation and the modification of Georgia child custody ...

Property Division: Be informed and be careful of what you ask for...

2014-03-05

Minnesota provides statutory guidelines for the division of assets. For those couples who cannot agree on how assets are to be divided, the court is asked to make those decisions for them. And, sometimes, those decisions can surprise everyone. In Szarke v. Szarke, a Minnesota couple learned the hard way that a simple disagreement can lead to unpredictable outcomes in court, leaving both spouses out in the cold. Nearby Wright County, Minnesota, residents litigated the division of their marital assets, after being unable to come to an agreement. Both spouses agreed that ...
