John Edwards found not guilty on one count. The jury could not reach a verdict on the other two counts. The question is will the Justice Department refile this matter?
What is to be served by retrying this case?
Did he use money to influence the campaign?
Was it even campaign money or a gift from a friend to take care of a personal problem. Especially since the Supreme Court changed the rules with the Citizens United case.
John Edwards Not Guilty
Defense of Marriage Act Declared Unconstitutional by Lower Court
It was waiting to happen. The topic is DOMA or Defense of Marriage Act. The issue is discrimination. The court has consistently found that a court CAN discriminate if it meets certain criteria. They are in different levels or categories of discrimination. For example, some laws must be rationally related to furthering a legitimate government interest. In applying the rational basis test, courts begin with a strong presumption that the law or policy under review is valid.
When some constitutionally suspect classifications (race, religion, alienage, or national origin) are not at issue, nor are any fundamental constitutional rights at stake, a [...]
Walmart Accused of Bribery & Cover Up in Mexico!
Walmart is being accused of some serious things in the news today. The allegation is that a top executive for Walmart in Mexico uncovered bribes for all types of things in Mexico. The steps that may get them into more hot water is what happened or didn’t happen next. The allegation is that they covered it up and did nothing.
See this article: Government officials have not commented on the allegations contained in a New York Times report published Saturday that said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. failed to notify law enforcement after its own investigators found evidence that millions of dollars in bribes [...]
Is ABC Paying for George Zimmerman’s Legal Defense? Ask Casey Anthony’s Lawyer

George Zimmerman Bail Set $150,000
Zimmerman Gets Bail Set at $150,000
What is bail? Bail is a monetary promise to return to the next and future court hearings. If you do not come, the District Attorney will ask that bond be forfeited and warrant for arrest issued. This is sometimes referred to as jumping bail. So, in this case the bond of $150,00 will be given to the court for good if he does not appear before the court. He will get the money back if he does regardless if he is later found guilty or not guilty.
8th Amendment to the Constitution
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive [...]

Lawyer’s Fees Cost Him Career – Flat Fee Gets You Disbarred?
Can you imagine any profession where someone can lose their ability to earn a living because of the price they charge? The free market people must be freaking out. Can you florist be told by the government that their price for roses has cost them their job? Is that American?
How about the other side? Can any profession charge whatever they want? I am not sure. I think their are some restrictions on health care prices after Obamacare. I am not really sure, though. I can’t think of any profession that is regulated like lawyers.

Sneiderman’s Attorney & Alleged DUI on Buford Highway
Attorney Jennifer Little, recently hired by the widow of Dunwoody day care shooting victim Rusty Sneiderman, was arrested early Thursday morning and charged with suspected DUI, speeding and reckless driving according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Little driving on I-85 near Buford Highway around 12:30 a.m. when she was allegedly stopped by the Atlanta police, who clocked her at 91 mph. The speed limit is 55. This upsets me. Her allegedly drinking bothers me, but the speed gets me more. At that speed she knew she was doing wrong. She likely knew she had been drinking (if she was). So, [...]
