Expunging Criminal Records in Texas
2010-11-18
John Palazzolo, the former assistant principal at Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth, Texas, found out the hard way how a person's past can catch up with them, especially if that past is a criminal one. The Fort Worth Independent School District voted to dismiss Palazzolo the last week of October for failing to disclose his criminal history when he applied for the Arlington Heights job in 2007. The crimes in question were misdemeanors: in 1997, Palazzolo pled guilty to failing to pay past-due child support, and in 1988 Palazzolo received a deferred sentence after ...

2010-11-18
Since 1976, the Supreme Court of the United States has left it to the individual states to decide whether to allow death penalty sentencing. Two-thirds of the executions in the past generation have occurred in only five of the 35 states that authorize the death penalty: Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas and Virginia. Since 1976, Texas alone has executed 464 prisoners -- more than four times the number of executions in Virginia, the state with the second most executions in the same time, at 108 prisoners.

If the applicant disagrees with the reconsideration decision, a hearing will take place in front of ...

No Place to Run For those Fleeing Police
2010-11-18
It can be a terrifying experience to see flashing lights in your rearview mirror. Your mind races, thinking what could possibly happen to you if you stop the car. Some people decide that they will try to outrun the police. In the long run, this makes a bad situation worse. When police are finally able to stop you, the benefit of the doubt is gone. Charges will be enhanced, making some defenses or options unavailable to you.
A teen from Paulsboro, New Jersey, learned this lesson the hard way. Seth Gaunt, 18, was driving north on I-295, toward Philadelphia. The truck he ...
