Maureen Faulkner, the widow of slain Philadelphia police officer Danny Faulkner, is featured in an exciting, exclusive, in-depth and inside interview, discussing her new book/nMurdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Loss, Pain, and Injustice. Maureen's husband was shot between the eyes on a cold December night in 1981. Mumia Abu-Jamal was unanimously convicted of the crime by a racially mixed jury based on: the testimony of several eyewitnesses, his ownership of the murder weapon, matching ballistics, and Abu-Jamal's own confession. After his conviction, however, a national anti-death penalty movement was started to "Free Mumia;" Mike Farrell, Ed Asner, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jesse Jackson rallied on his behalf, and led the charge. For his part, while on death row, Abu-Jamal published several books, delivered radio commentaries, was a college commencement speaker, found himself named an Honorary Citizen of France, and had his defense coffers enhanced by ticket sales from a sold out (16,000-person) concert featuring Rage Against the Machine. Now, with this interview Maureen carefully and definitively lays out the case against Abu-Jamal, and those who've elevated him to the status of political prisoner. As Abu-Jamal's lawyers contemplate their final appeal, Faulkner weaves a compelling, never-before-told account of one fateful night and the 25-year-long rewriting of history.

Howard University and Alice Gresham Bullock, U.S. Supreme Court No. 08-204./nIn 1997, Howard University Law Professor Dawn Martin was stalked on campus by a delusional serial stalker, Leonard Harrison. Despite instructions to Howard University from the Washington D.C. Police Department to implement and improve its campus security, Howard failed to take action, and instead, punished Professor Martin by refusing to renew her teaching contract. The story you are about to watch is the true story of Dawn Martin's 11-year Journey for Justice for her and all women who are stalked in the workplace. The National Organization for Women and The National Association of Women Lawyers join her cause./nWhen Prof. Martin was stalked by Leonard Harrison, he was searching for the physical embodiment of his "fantasy" wife -- a fictional female character in a book, written by the renowned civil rights Professor, Derrick Bell. Instead of following its own security procedures to ban Harrison from campus, Howard responded to Prof. Martin's requests for protection by refusing to renew her teaching contract. She sued Howard, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination and harassment, on the basis of sex/gender. Prof. Martin alleged that Howard permitted the stalker to harass her on the basis of her gender in her workplace. 78% of stalking victims are women. 54% of female murder victims reported their stalkers to the police before being killed by them. Prof. Martin further alleged that Howard retaliated against her by refusing to renew her teaching contract because she asked for protection from Harrison on campus./nYou can contact Ms. Martin at 202-408-7040, or http://www.dvmartinlaw.com/n"For updates on this case, see www.dvmartinlaw/MartinvHowardU and http://alexisamoore.blogspot.com/."

Gary discusses alleged police brutality and alleged misconduct by the Hawthorne, California, and Manhattan Beach, California, police. Joining Gary is Scott Tierney, who alleges he suffered serious personal injuries during a booking process with the Hawthorne police. In this powerful interview, Gary and Scott provide riveting testimony about a series of allegedly grave actions by the police and the need to educate the public about these shocking details. Gary further addresses the broader problem of police misconduct and its threat to public safety and community trust. Police misconduct also includes accepting bribes, improper search and seizure, harassment and racism in law enforcement. Police misconduct violates the oath of peace officers and their responsibilities as public servants. Victims of police misconduct can be wrongfully convicted of crimes, lose property and freedom, and face social stigmatization. Police misconduct also creates distrust between police and the public they are meant to protect. Police misconduct often goes uncorrected because people do not understand their rights as citizens. Prevention of police misconduct by an informed public can avert violence, wrongful convictions, and abuse of authority. In general, police misconduct is the exception - most police officers are law-abiding citizens, but when police misconduct does occur, police departments can fail to address the problem in the appropriate manner.

Cohan is featured in an exciting, exclusive, in-depth and inside interview, discussing the case of Robert Kahre. Informally called the Kahre case -- after the primary defendant, business owner Robert Kahre, who paid workers in gold and silver coins -- the trial relied heavily on evidence gathered in a controversial armed raid in May 2003 on several of Kahre's local business places. The raid entailed keeping more than 20 workers handcuffed, in 106-degree heat without shade or water while agents collected records and equipment, which Kahre described in this interview with great detail. The trial resulted in zero convictions on 161 charges faced by nine defendants, a major win for William Cohan and Robert Kahre. William A. Cohan has litigated in federal trial and appeals courts throughout the United States for the last 30 years. He has obtained more acquittals in criminal tax cases than any attorney practicing in the United States over the last 30 years (including 2 cases involving more than $10 million), secured several multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for plaintiffs, and successfully defended against several multi-million dollar civil claims and forfeitures. The other twenty-five percent of his cases involve business disputes between individuals and non-governmental entities: he defends individuals, corporations, trusts, LLP's, LLC's, and partnerships in controversies concerning real estate, securities, business acquisitions, employment, banking and insurance.

Britt Tribute [b][u][i]The William L. Britt Tribute: A Salute to an Extraordinary Her[/i]o[/u] [/b] This is the true story of Will Britt, a gifted college student, athlete, son, and local Santa Cruz, California, hero, whose heroic actions helped capture some dangerous criminals. For protective measures Will transferred from UC Santa Cruz to UCLA, where he quickly acclimated into his new life, joining a fraternity and meeting many new friends. Less than 2 years later, in September 2004, Will's world turned upside down, when he was falsely accused of sexual assault by a UCLA coed. Despite the fact that the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office refused to prosecute this false accusation, the UCLA Administrators continued to hold sham disciplinary hearings persecuting Will until it drove him to withdraw from school and return home to Sacramento, CA. Several months later, in April 2005, Will suffered a severe nervous breakdown from the continuing stress of persecution by UCLA Administrators, who stood in the way of his re-enrolling at UCLA to finish up his degree. Tragically, his dream would never be fulfilled because several days later, on April 28, 2005, Will was killed in a freak auto accident.

(UP) employee, was severely injured in a tragic vehicular accident, rendering him a C-4 Quadriplegic. UP denied liability, alleging at the time of the event Doi was not in the "course & scope" of their employment and was using the UP company truck for personal reasons during off-hours. This case centered on the definition of "What is the 'course & scope' of employment" under FELA, The Federal Employers' Liability Act. The jury, after weighing all the evidence, believed Eric Doi's attorneys, Don Britt and John Gilbert of The Britt Gilbert Law Group. Eric Doi was awarded over $48 million, what is believed to be the largest verdict for a single injured individual in the 100 year history of FELA. This is the story of how The Britt Gilbert Law Group sought and got justice for Eric Doi. Don Britt is a highly distinguished attorney, who decided to become n lawyer at an early age, when after being an accident victim, he became fascinated by the legal process.

Today, we examine the unjust legal quagmire of the case of James Stevens (an African American), who won an $18.4 million dollar judgment in Oct. 2006 after he sued his former employer, the supermarket chain and Fortune 500 company, Vons, for sexual harassment and retaliation. The Law Offices of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg and the Law Offices of Davis & Gavsie, PLC, helped James secure this important judgment against his harasser who was also his supervisor (a Caucasian woman). Her lewd sexual innuendos and overtures made the work environment intolerable for James. As a result of the conduct he endured at Vons and the stresses of the litigation that followed, James suffered tremendous losses. At one point, he considered suicide. Unfortunately, the trial court judge reduced his combined verdict to $2.4 million. The judge gave James a choice--either accept the reduction or have a completely new trial on the damages. James opted to accept the reduction while maintaining his right to appeal the judge's reduction. An appellate court in California upheld the reduction of the jury verdict. The California Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal of that decision and he is now appealing his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Joining James is Areva Martin, the attorney currently managing his appeal, and Malik Ali, Vice Chairman of Justice Inc., a non-profit organization founded to help others avoid the injustices James faced. documentary james stevens vons civilrights sexual harassme Legal News Yes http://www.legalshowtime.com/thumb/1_45.jpg 600.21 http://www.legalshowtime.com/video/46/Gloria-Allred--Nathan-Goldberg-James-Stevens-v-VONS http://www.legalshowtime.com/flvideo/46.flv Gloria Allred & Nathan Goldberg: James Stevens v.

Joining them is Mike Lief, who served as the jury foreman in the trial James brought against Vons. James was employed by Vons for 26 years as an Inventory Control Clerk. After complaining to management about ongoing sexual harassment by a female supervisor, he was transferred to a less desirable store. Mr. Stevens filed a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). Vons allegedly lied to the DFEH, and the DFEH closed its file. The company then allegedly falsely accused Mr. Stevens of donating water and soda to a church that fed the homeless and fired him. On October 27, 2006, after a 6-week trial, the jury in Simi Valley awarded Mr. Stevens $1.67 million in compensatory damages and over $16 million in punitive damages. The case has been appealed by Vons. Roxanne A. Davis has been practicing in Los Angeles, California, specializing in labor and employment law, for over 17 years.

In the summer of 2005, Bausch & Lomb learned of serious eye infections caused by their ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens solution. Approximately 6 months later they initiated recalls only in Hong Kong and Malaysia, continuing to sell the product in the U.S. until April 2006, completely disregarding the safety of U.S. consumers. Evidence later showed that they: cut corners in the design and testing of ReNu; lied to the FDA to gain their approval; switched the formulation of ReNu to get it to market quicker; and hid its February 2006 recall in Asia from U.S. regulatory agencies. As a result thousands of people were injured, including Elizabeth Poole who underwent painful and extensive surgeries and treatments, eventually losing her eye.

This was the largest recall of pet food in U.S. history and was initiated by the dominant manufacturer of dry dog and cat food, the Canadian Company, Menu Foods. The contaminated wheat gluten and rice protein were adulterated with melamine which, combined with cyanuric acid, can lead to acute renal failure if eaten by small animals. The two Chinese supply companies intentionally put melamine into wheat gluten and rice protein to deceive manufacturers and the public of their true protein content, resulting in the deaths of untold numbers of animals and putting at risk more than 100 Million pets in Americas households.

You’re in for a rude awakening and a real shock! Remember…No matter what kind of warm, fuzzy feeling you get from your insurer’s TV Commercials, the company is NOT your friend. State Farm is not a good neighbor; it is not even like a good neighbor. The cradling of Allstate’s logo will not comfort and protect you like your mother’s arms did. In a perfect world insurance companies would always do the right thing. Yet in reality the industry harbors…. a dirty little secret. Your insurance company’s main objective is NOT to protect you. Today the name of the game is to Maximize Profits for them! Their strategy, when it comes to dealing with your claims… when you really need them…when you are most vulnerable is SIMPLE… …. DELAY, DENY, and DEFEND… Basically to improve their bottom line profits by delaying payment of justified claims, denying payment altogether, and defending their actions by forcing claimants to fight them in the courtroom. "People are giving them money for something they will never receive”. "What that really means is they're selling uncollectible insurance." Insurance Companies RULE our country. They control our banking…. They own WALL STREET. They catch a virus…. and Wall Street has Diarrhea for a week! ….

GERRY SPENCE'S WINNING COURTROOM STRATEGIES - Every lawyer in America admires Gerry Spence’s courtroom victories, and many of them come to Thunderhead Ranch in Wyoming to learn his strategies. The evolution of this legal legend can be traced to Gerry’s courtroom victories and his best-selling books. He has more multi-million dollar verdicts without an intervening loss than any other lawyer in the United States. Gerry HAS NEVER lost a criminal case in the more than 50 years he has practiced law. And he has not lost a jury trial since 1969. In this interview, Gerry shares a lifetime of experience teaching you how to win in any arena – the courtroom, the boardroom, the sales call, the salary review, the town council meeting – every venue where a case is to be made against adversaries who oppose the justice you seek. He shows both lawyers and laypersons how to win cases as he goes step by step through the elements of a trial – from jury selection, to the opening statement, the presentation of witnesses, their cross-examinations, and finally to the closing argument itself. These 9 Winning Steps include: 1. What Is The Power to Win? 2. The Winning Strategies 3. Discovering the Story 4. Discovering the Story through Psychodrama 5. Voir Dire 6. The Opening Statement 7. Telling the Story through Witnesses 8. Exposing the Hidden Truth 9.

Christopher was driving a 1999 Ford Expedition and towing a 19-foot camp trailer. Another driver, Daniel Torrez, approached the Allisons’ from behind. Torrez fell asleep at the wheel, drove into the center median, ricocheted off that into the Allisons’ trailer, causing the trailer to jackknife and the Expedition to slide counterclockwise into the left lane. The Expedition slid off the road, overturned several times, ejecting three of the family members, crushing and killing Christopher and injuring all of the Allison family. Torrez and his passenger were not injured.

Oil and Gas Explosion Trial Attorneys: Melton v. EnCana Oil & Gas. Kent Spence – The Spence Law FirmOn July 11, 2004, Mike Melton, an employee of Riley Industrial Services, a gas tank cleaning services company, was cleaning a “drain sump tank,” the toxic waste catch basin at EnCana’s natural gas plant near Moab, Utah, when an explosion occurred, as a result of EnCana’s violation of OSHA’s requirements to properly “lock out” and “tag” gas valves before opening the tanks. The Insider Exclusive will show proof of how EnCana falsely filed the OSHA permit, claiming that the “lock out/tag out” had occurred when it had not. As a result, Mike Melton suffered severe burns on his hands, wrists, and around his face, burning his ears, neck and hair (30% hearing loss). Mike has also developed an extreme case of CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) in his hands and arms. He now can’t use his hands in any type of work. The Insider Exclusive will show you how Mike’s lawyer, Kent Spence, took on EnCana and Mike’s former employer when they tried to blame Mike for their mistakes. The jury found EnCana 100% responsible, and after Kent Spence asked the jury for $21 million actual damages and $100 million in punitive damages, EnCana made a last ditch effort to avoid financial catastrophe with a final offer outside the courtroom doors.

Jimmy offered help because he was a Good Samaritan, and he knew CPR. While Jimmy gave his statement to police officers, a brand new Subaru driven by Lisa Lloyd crashed into the police barricades and slammed into Jimmy. Lisa kept going, with Jimmy’s head smashed into the windshield, until the fire chief ran alongside her car, dove through the window and threw the car into park. Jimmy was catapulted 30 feet into the air, landing on his head and changing his life forever in that split moment. Jimmy’s head was fractured in two places, and he suffered a brain hemorrhage. He plunged into a coma for a month and required brain surgery to treat his injuries. He now requires round-the-clock nursing care due to his injuries.

Medical Malpractice Suits: The Sharon Boxie Louisiana Injustice Story. Every day, somewhere in America, more than 300 innocent men, women and children become victims of medical malpractice at the hands of incompetent and negligent doctors, maybe just like your own family doctor, and end up either dead or permanently injured. Last year, over 98,000 victims were killed by doctors; that’s like two 737’s crashing each and every day, killing every single passenger, 365 days a year. And more than 4 million victims are permanently injured each year due to medical errors, surgical tools left in patients and hospital-caused infections. Today, the Insider Exclusive will meet one of those innocent victims, Sharon Boxie, now a total quadriplegic caused by the medical malpractice of her own doctors. We will also visit with her lawyer, John Hammons, who has been fighting for almost thirty years for quality medical care for his clients and their families, as well as obtaining just compensation for those who have been seriously injured by incompetent and negligent doctors. John will show how the State of Louisiana’s medical malpractice laws are full of traps, adding insult to injury with draconian laws capping medical malpractice awards. The $5 million judgment awarded by the trial court to Sharon Boxie was itself reduced substantially by Louisiana law. And if America is to make progress in medical malpractice cases, it needs to be make strides in patient safety, not limit the rights of patients who have been injured through no fault of their own. John Hammons is one of Louisiana’s leading medical malpractice and nursing home negligence lawyers, and is often called upon by individuals as well as by other lawyers to assist them in the most difficult of cases. He has served on the Governor’s Commission on Medical Malpractice, which provided him with significant insight in this area of developing law.

He’s won more multimillion dollar awards than any other lawyer in the country, including his very first trial. Some of his cases include the defense of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the Jenny Jones Show trial, and the defense of Nathaniel Abraham. He is a fighter who won’t back down when he knows he is right.

Dragged to the Milwaukee Police Jail, Curtis walked into the Milwaukee booking room, where his life changed forever when Clark deliberately and maliciously used excessive force, throwing Curtis headfirst into a concrete wall for no reason whatsoever, rendering him a quadriplegic for the rest of his life.

Jason Abraham began his career with Hupy and Abraham, S.C., in 1993 and progressed to the position of shareholder at the firm in 1999. He received his undergraduate degree in psychology in 1989 from the University of Wisconsin, followed by his juris doctor from Marquette University Law School in 1992.

AIR CRASH - ALASKA AIRLINES & THE FAA WHISTLEBLOWER. Alaska Airlines Flight 261, a MD-83 aircraft, experienced a fatal accident on January 31, 2000, in the Pacific Ocean, about 2.7 miles north of Anacapa Island, California. Two hours into the flight, the pilots realized that the horizontal stabilizer was jammed. The two pilots, three cabin crewmembers, and 83 passengers on board were killed—the highest death toll of any aviation accident involving a MD-83 ever, and the aircraft was destroyed. This accident and other unsafe airline situations could have been easily avoided, if the FAA and Alaska Airlines had listened to Mary Diefenderfer, a former FAA Principal Operations Inspector, who from 1993 to 1997 oversaw the team of inspectors who regulated Alaska Airlines’ operations/functions. In August 1993, Mary discovered that the Vice President of Flight Operations at Alaska Airlines had falsified his own pilot training records. Despite the accuracy of her reports, soon after her team exposed the violation by Alaska Airlines, FAA management reassigned her to another office and removed her from oversight of Alaska Airlines operations. The agency denied her grievances, revoked her pilot’s license, revoked the Leave Without Pay that she had requested due to severe emotional distress, declared her AWOL, and issued a proposed suspension – all in the space of several weeks. These actions forced her involuntary resignation in November 1999. Today, The Insider Exclusive will go “Behind The Headlines” and meet former airline pilot and FAA Safety Inspector Mary Rose Diefenderfer and her lawyers, Judith Lonnquist and Mary Dryovage, to relate Mary’s personal battle with the FAA, her pending lawsuit and how FAA managers actively retaliated against inspectors who tried to make a difference and save lives.

Medical Malpractice Suit: The Rebecca Gatti Story of Wrongful Birth “Dr. William J. Erwin failed to comply with the appropriate standard of care for an OB/GYN in the year 2007, and as a result, Rebecca Gatti, a newborn baby girl, suffered severe brain damage which is lifelong and irreversible.” Those brutally frank words were from the Louisiana Medical Review Board to Ryan and Susan Gatti, the parents of their new baby girl Rebecca, explaining the irreversible brain damage Rebecca suffered due to the incompetence of Dr. Erwin. Rebecca now requires round-the-clock care for the rest of her life, with no chance whatsoever for improvement. Today, The Insider Exclusive will take you “Behind the Headlines” of this real life couple, Ryan and Susan Gatti, who entrusted their child’s health and welfare to this grossly incompetent doctor. We will meet not only the Gattis’ but also their lawyer, John Hammons of Nelson & Hammons, who for almost 30 YEARS has been one of Louisiana’s leading medical malpractice and nursing home negligence lawyers, “Standing Up for People Who Cannot Stand Up for Themselves.” The Insider Exclusive has also learned some hard cold facts that completely contradict all the myths that the insurance companies and their lobbyists have been feeding the public for years regarding medical malpractice cases like the Gattis’ and why they falsely claim that caps on medical malpractice verdicts are necessary. All of these myths are designed to protect the insurance companies’ and the doctors’ financial interests, while victimizing the healthcare interests of patients. John Hammons is one of Louisiana’s leading medical malpractice and nursing home negligence lawyers, and is often called upon by individuals as well as by other lawyers to assist them in the most difficult of cases. He has served on the Governor’s Commission on Medical Malpractice, which provided him with significant insight in this area of developing law. John was also among the first lawyers in Louisiana...

He famously said that “dying is not a crime.” Passion and purpose go hand in hand. When you discover your purpose, you will normally find it’s something you’re tremendously passionate about. And that is the simple reason why Geoffrey Fieger became the lawyer for “Dr. Death,” Dr Jack Kevorkian.

And that’s exactly what happened to James Anderson and his nephew Steven Walter while riding on a Wisconsin country road, on a clear and warm summer day at approximately 1:30 pm on August 9, 2001.Theresa Boulanger, driver of a GMC truck, illegally and without warning made an sharp U-Turn from a roadside parked position, causing James to smash into the front fender of the truck, ejecting him more than 100 feet through the air and banging down the roadside and shoulder. Wisconsin Accident Investigators later determined that she was 100% at fault, for failing to observe the approaching motorcycles and turning directly into their path. And, while James was undergoing extensive medical treatment and his case was progressing through the justice system, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on a law indicating that if you’re not wearing a helmet, (although there was no helmet law in Wisconsin), it could prevent you from recovering any legal damages. Jason Abraham, Hupy & Abraham, S.C., came to James’s rescue. Today, The Insider Exclusive will show you how, Jason petitioned the Wisconsin Legislature to get Justice for James, and how he was successful in having the law changed to allow him to get James the seven figure recovery he deserved!

On an episode called "Same-Sex Secret Crushes" taped on March 6, 1995, a gay man named Scott Amedure confessed his love for his friend, Jonathan Schmitz. While on the show, Schmitz reacted with laughter, but he became disturbed by the incident later. He had a history of mental illness and alcohol/drug abuse. Three days after the show's taping, Schmitz killed Amedure, and was later convicted of second-degree murder and received a sentence of 25–50 years in prison. The episode was never aired. According to the testimony at the murder trial, three days after the taping, Amedure left a "suggestive" note at Schmitz's house. After finding the note, Schmitz withdrew money from the bank, purchased a shotgun, and then went to Amedure's mobile home. There, he questioned Amedure about the note, to which Amedure just smiled. Schmitz then returned to his car, got his gun and returned to Amedure's trailer. He then shot Amedure twice in the chest, killing him. After killing Amedure, Schmitz left the residence, called 911, and confessed to the killing. In 1999, Amedure's family then retained Geoffrey Fieger and sued the producers of The Jenny Jones Show, Telepictures, and Warner Brothers for the ambush tactics and negligent role that led to Amedure's death. Amedure's family won the initial ruling, and the show was ordered to pay them $25 million, after a jury found that the Jenny Jones Show was both irresponsible and negligent, contending that the show intentionally created an explosive situation without due concern for the possible consequences. The judgment was later overturned by the Michigan Court of Appeals in a 2 to 1 decision. The Michigan Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

Imagine a different world — a world of full equality for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people. A world where everyone has the same rights in housing, jobs, public accommodations, equal access to government benefits and equal protection of the law. That is not the world that Joann Ritchie and Sharon Reed found themselves in, on the night of September 3, 2005, at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. Sharon, a psychotherapist, and Joann , a City of Seattle housing administrator, had been life-partners for 17 years, when Joann ’s chronic illness worsened and she was hospitalized at the University of Washington Medical Center. On September 3, 2005, Joann was moved to the ICU and came under the care of a contract nurse, Karen Hulley, for the night. And on that night, their lives changed forever. Despite the fact that the University and Joann ’s doctor permitted Sharon to be by her beside constantly, Nurse Hulley, repeatedly refused Sharon access to Joanne’s room and bedside, continually evicting her from the room. By the time Sharon regained access to her partner the next morning, Joann ’s condition had deteriorated, and she was heavily drugged. She died within a matter of hours. The Insider Exclusive now goes ”Behind the Headlines” to visit with Sharon Reed and her lawyer Judith Lonnquist, as they relive the “Long Night from Hell,” as Sharon watched – from a distance – the love of her life, Joann , slowly dying alone, all because of the cruelty and the insensitivity of the “Nurse from Hell,”Karen Hulley.

Trapping her legs in excruciating pain in the car, severing the artery in her left leg (which deprived it of the life-sustaining blood she desperately needed), Ashley clung on courageously while the medics rushed her to hospital. Her injuries were so severe that the doctors had to amputate her leg halfway from her hip to her knee, which effectively ended her dreams of being a softball star. Turner was hauled off to jail, and one more tragic “alcohol-related” drunk driver accident was added to the approximately 630,000 people injured in alcohol-related crashes every year. That’s an average of one person injured approximately every minute of every day of every year. About 30,000 people a year will suffer permanent work-related disabilities, just like Ashley. Every weekday night from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., one in 13 drivers is drunk with a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher; and between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. on weekend mornings, one in seven drivers is drunk. More Americans have died in alcohol-related traffic crashes than in all the wars the United States has been involved in since our country was founded.

All 25 of them systematically and willfully ordered and administered the wrong drugs for her life-threatening condition called SLOS (Smith Lemli Opitz Syndrome). SLOS is a congenital abnormality, which requires treatment strategies on supplying supplemental cholesterol. Emma was given the Wrong Drug, Questran, not once, but 92 times – yes, 92 times in one month. All of the doctors and nurses knew better. They were trained to know better. They were some of the world’s leading authorities at the LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. And her doctors had the unmitigated gall to blame Emma’s death on the new resident doctors, rather than take responsibility themselves. Emma remained hospitalized at various hospitals from the date she was born to the day she died, because of the outrageous medical malpractice perpetrated on her by 25 so-called health care professionals, none of whom cared enough to give her the potentially life-saving medical treatment she desperately needed. She suffered enormous physical pain and suffering prior to her death.

U.S. At the time, they got it wrong; the US Government had actually indicted Geoffrey Fieger, one of the nation’s most successful trial lawyers, and his partner, Ven Johnson, for violating campaign finance laws. But on June 2, 2008, after a 20-day trial, with Fieger represented by famed defense attorney Gerry Spence, jurors unanimously rejected the government’s felony charges – and acquitted and vindicated Geoff Fieger and Ven Johnson, because prosecutors failed to prove that they illegally channeled money to the failed 2004 presidential campaign of Democrat John Edwards. And, on that same day, the Detroit Free Press finally got it right and printed another huge headline, FIEGER IS CLEARED IN CAMPAIGN FUND CASE. Today, The Insider Exclusive takes you behind the scenes of the indictment, the Bush Administration’s selective political prosecution of Geoffrey Fieger, the winning legal strategies employed by Gerry Spence and Steve Fishman to decisively defeat and crush the government at a Waterloo of their own making.

Amanda's family continued her lawsuit, suing Alcoa for $10 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages, and settled the case in September 2009. Amanda was exposed to asbestos in the late 1970s when she was just a few days old. Born in a premature birth, Amanda had to spend the first 3 months after her birth at a hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee, during which period her father was employed at Alcoa's aluminum plant. Her father was exposed to asbestos on the job, and he then visited his baby daughter in the hospital immediately after work, wearing the same asbestos-contaminated clothes. The court was surprised at realizing that Amanda was exposed to asbestos from day one of her life, thanks to her father's asbestos-contaminated work clothes. Proof presented at the Supreme court included Alcoa knew that the air in its factories contained high amounts of asbestos fibers, and workers in the plant were inhaling these fibers that can easily get clogged up in the lungs and lead to lung scarring or inflammation. In fact, Alcoa conducted tests to determine the amount of asbestos fibers on their employees' asbestos-contaminated clothes, and the result was very...

These brave men are the “Elite Special Response Team,” some of the best-trained and best-equipped forces protecting America’s nuclear weapons and material, with deadly force if necessary. These “Elite Special Response” teams are filled with professionals that have served in the military and law enforcement. It’s not uncommon to find former Marines, Army Rangers, Special Forces, and police veterans serving in various positions within these teams. They use words like honor, code, and loyalty. They use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. And they live up to their words: They walk their talk – and one of these quiet heroes is Vincent “Vinny” Cinelli, who, while riding his motorcycle one March day in broad daylight, was run down by a hit and run driver, someone who does not live a life of honor, code, and loyalty. Vinny Cinelli was severely injured, but miraculously recovered! And today, The Insider Exclusive is here to tell his story: The true story of the magnificent courage of Vinny Cinelli and how his lawyer, Bruce Fox of the Law Firm of Fox Farley in Clinton, Tennessee, got justice for Vinny.

From Einstein’s letter came the plan for our nation to create an atomic weapon that would be more powerful than any weapon in the history of the world. The Manhattan Project, created to develop this amazing new atomic weapon, spent 60 cents of every dollar in Oak Ridge, Tennessee! For 7 years This “Secret City” was not shown on any maps, did not allow any visitors other than by special approval, had guards posted at the entrances to the city and required all residents to wear badges at all times when outside their homes. Several different work sites were built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to accommodate the U.S. Government’s need to develop uranium for the war effort. Plants labeled X-10, K-25 and Y-12 were all constructed. Workers at the plants were segregated by job duty and not permitted to discuss what they were doing in their work. Almost 60 years later, Congress recognized that thousands of workers, employed in these “Atomic” / Hazardous Material Plants, were exposed to deadly radioactive and toxic substances. And Congress passed, in July 2001,“The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act” to provide compensation to persons who become ill as a result of work at these facilities. Today, The Insider Exclusive presents a behind the scenes look at why, despite this Congressional legislation intended to help sick government workers, there have been roadblocks and obstacles forcing the majority of workers who file claims to litigate with the Department of Energy. In fact, contractors of the Department have been held harmless and their employees have been denied workers’ compensation coverage for occupational diseases. Over the past 20 years, more than two...

Just minutes before the accident, Tarver had been a customer at a gas station’s convenience store located at 7606 Rutledge Pike. Pioneer Oil was the owner/operator of that store. The store clerk, Dorothy Thomas, testified that on the night of the accident, Tarver was visibly “drunk” and “staggering” while at the store immediately prior to the accident. She refused his drunken demand to buy beer, but she did choose to sell the same very drunk Tarver three dollars ($3.00) worth of gasoline. After buying the gas, Tarver was so drunk that he couldn’t even walk out the store’s door properly. And more importantly, not only did he stagger to the pumps; he couldn’t even pump the gas in his car. Another employee, Candice Drinnon, actually had to help him pump the gas, because he was too drunk to figure out how to do so himself! Ms. Drinnon then watched as Tarver drove away going southbound in the wrong lane of traffic without his headlights on. At no time did any of the gas station’s employees attempt to notify the police of Tarver’s actions and his...

In 1999, he was convicted in a Missouri courtroom by a prosecutor who withheld important exculpatory evidence, which would have proved Ted’s innocence! Ted then spent the next 5 years at the Missouri State Penitentiary, incarcerated at the infamous “Walls Prison” in Jefferson City, Missouri, which TIME Magazine called the “bloodiest 47 acres in America.” The prison was built in 1836, the same year that Andrew Jackson was President of the United States Davy Crockett died at the Alamo and Charles Darwin sailed his HMS Beagle around the world. Because Ted White was absolutely 100% innocent he was now in the “fight of his life, to prove his innocence. He’d been set up by his ex-wife, Tina, and the investigating police detective. Tina and the detective became lovers during Ted’s trial and later married. The entire molestation allegations had been fabricated. Evidence was destroyed of the alleged child victim’s diary she had written at age 12, which mentioned nothing about any abuse, but rather, praised her dad, Ted, and derided the ex-wife, Tina, as an overbearing, insensitive mother who didn’t care about her. The former police detective later admitted to receiving $500,000 worth of stock that Ted was forced to forfeit as a convicted felon. Imagine how Ted White endured those 5 long years in prison with some of America’s most dangerous criminals, while being classified as a rapist and a child sex offender. Imagine his anxiety through 3 criminal trials, not knowing if he would ever get justice. Imagine the horrific fear and pain Ted felt when he was violently attacked in prison, breaking bones in his face that required him to have reconstructive surgery. Imagine his humiliation, his indignity, his seething anger and the hopelessness in...

In 2008, 53-year-old Mike Hilber was on his way to work, driving down a county road in rural Anoka County, Minnesota. He was on his way to teach at a technical college about 40 miles from home. He stopped at a four-way stop intersection, looking both ways. When it was clear, he drove into the intersection, and his live changed forever!! An 80,000-pound tractor-trailer flew right through the Stop sign, never stopping for one minute, and smashed into Mike’s Toyota Prius, full blast. The truck driver later admitted he “never saw the STOP sign.” Mike’s little Prius was mangled almost beyond recognition. The semi struck him on the driver’s side. All that was left was twisted metal and broken glass. Looking at crash scene photos, it’s hard to believe Mike survived. But Mike hung on to dear life, if only by a thread. He suffered a complex and complicated pelvic fracture, requiring subspecialist attention. He also suffered multiple pelvic fractures and nerve palsy. In addition, he had a large abdominal wound with evisceration, referred to in the medical records as an abdominal “burst.” He underwent surgery after surgery. Doctors couldn’t stop Mike’s internal bleeding, and he had to be rushed back into the operating room to be reopened and repacked time after time after time. After 16 surgeries, rotating between three hospitals, months of rehab and over $1.2 million dollars in medical bills, Mike is still left with constant pain, and a disability of a horrific... toyota Prius Car crash safety Legal News Yes http://www.legalshowtime.com/thumb/1_123.jpg 1495.43 http://www.legalshowtime.com/video/124/Native-American-Law-–-The-Shell-Game-of-Daniel-Edwin-Jones http://www.legalshowtime.com/flvideo/124.flv Native American Law – The Shell Game of Daniel Edwin Jones [i][b]Native American Law – The Shell Game of Daniel Edwin Jones[/b][/i] The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux are a federally recognized Indian tribe. Tribal members are the direct lineal descendants of the Mdewakanton Dakota people who resided in villages near the banks of the lower Minnesota River. They own more than 2,800 acres of land, and operate many thriving successful businesses, including the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel & the Little Six Casino. Mystic Lake Casino is The Twin Cities’ only casino hotel and one of the largest Midwest casinos, and features the finest in Midwest gaming combined with all the amenities of a luxury resort. As the largest employer in the county, they employ more than 4,100 people and are a powerful economic force. Their annual payroll is over $143.7 million. To the “Shock-Pay” Mdewakantonwan (“Medawák-ha?to?”) being a good neighbor is an extension of the cultural tradition of being a good relative. The Dakota people believe that all living beings are relatives and should be treated not only with dignity and respect, but also helped in their day-to-day lives. To honor their ancestors and continue their Dakota traditions, they believe that to “forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without root. Those who preserve their integrity remain unshaken by the storms of daily life. They do not stir like leaves on a tree or follow the herd where it runs.” In their mind remains the ideal attitude and conduct of living. This gift is not given to them by others; it is in their roots, a strength that exists deep within them. Daniel Edwin Jones is a member of this proud tribe, but definitely does not live up to its high standard of integrity and tradition! In 2008, Fred Soucie, lawyer for Brittany Powell’s mom and sister, successfully settled a civil case against Jones, wherein he agreed to pay $2 million to the family of Brittany Powell, in installments of one $500,000 payment, plus $10,000 per month for 12 months, and $20,000/mo for 69 months.

The decision to place a family member under the care of a nursing home facility is usually made when health and/or mental capabilities have declined and the family is no longer able to sufficiently care for their loved one. All facilities must insure and protect the rights of every resident and provide a clean, healthy, attractive environment. Residents are entitled to treatment regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, ability to pay, or source of payment. Every resident has the right to request the name and function of all individuals providing them service and the identification of other health care facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, and other institutions that may provide them with services. You may not be aware that you can review the state surveys of each home that you have an interest in because Medicare and Medicaid facilities are required by law to let you see their survey reports. Signs to look for that may indicate improper care at a nursing home include strong smells of urine and feces, vests and other devices that tie or hold people down in their beds, lack of privacy, lack of dignity, unanswered calls for help, inactivity and loneliness, and lack of help with eating. Every resident has the right to receive medical care, nursing care, rehabilitative and restorative therapies, and personal hygiene in a safe, clean environment. Also, residents have the right to be fully informed of his/her medical condition unless the physician indicates in the medical records that it is not in the best interest of the patient to be told. Residents have the right to be advised by a physician or appropriate professional staff of alternative courses of care and treatments and their consequences. It is imperative to do your homework when choosing a nursing home facility to avoid any instances of foreseeable abuse, neglect, and death that continue to be... elderly abuse nursing homes Legal News Yes http://www.legalshowtime.com/thumb/1_141.jpg 2978.98 http://www.legalshowtime.com/video/148/Kimmy-Dahl-–-Minneapolis’s-Hero-of-the-35W-I-Bridge http://www.legalshowtime.com/flvideo/148.flv Kimmy Dahl – Minneapolis’s Hero of the 35W I Bridge [b][i]Kimmy Dahl – Minneapolis’s Hero of the 35W I Bridge[/i][/b] When the images of the 35W bridge collapse first appeared on television, one picture scared the entire nation: a school bus was caught amid the wreckage and 52 children were on board. And the driver, Kimmy Dahl, was somehow able to keep her foot on the brake until every person was off of the bus, including her own two children, Arrianna and David, who initially refused to leave their mom! Just 50 feet back and they could have all been in the river! Kimmy was honored as a hero by her bus company for the courage and determination she displayed that day. She broke her back in two places, suffering a litany of pain, surgeries, disability and severe emotional distress. She has not returned to the job she loved. She has wrestled not only with her own emotional distress, but also with the emotional distress her children suffered. But being a hero was not good enough to pay all her medical bills. In fact, the architects, designers and contractors who constructed this bridge were completely “off the hook” legally, due to a strange law called the Statute of Repose. That’s right: because this bridge is considered an “improvement to real estate,” the law provides that 10 years after an improvement to real estate is constructed, the parties responsible for the construction are completely off the hook no matter how negligent they might have been in the construction of the improvement. To add insult to injury, if the State of Minnesota is deemed responsible for the bridge collapse, the maximum amount that is available for all victims and their families is only $1 million dollars – total!! That’s not per victim, but for all the victims combined! Today the Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines to show how Kimmy’s lawyer, Fred Soucie, and a group of lawyers lobbied the Minnesota Legislature and Governor to get justice, in the form of a “Compensation Fund” for Kimmy and all the victims of this disaster.

In 1963, Time Magazine called “The Walls” the bloodiest 47 acres in America when a series of violent assaults made national headlines. It has been reported that between the years of 1963 and 1964, there were around 550 separate accounts of serious assaults, including hundreds of stabbings. It was “home” to infamous convicts like Stagger Lee, Pretty Boy Floyd, Sonny Liston and James Earl Ray. And it became home – for five long years – to a wrongfully convicted man named Ted White Jr. Wrongful convictions occur every month, in every state in this country, and the reasons are all varied and all the same: bad police work, junk science, faulty eyewitness identifications, bad defense lawyers, lazy prosecutors, arrogant prosecutors. Our criminal justice system is supposed to err on the side of innocence, sifting the clearly guilty from those less obviously culpable. Imprisoning – or condemning – the innocent exposes a host of procedural defects in our criminal justice system. Justice must be our eternal aspiration, but we should greet skeptically those who ever claim it’s been fully achieved. /nTed White’s story is not a work of lofty philosophy or jurisprudence. It is his humble first-person story told in everyday terms: of how injustice happened, one blunder at a time, a nightmarish story of being imprisoned for something he did not do. No one knows better than the person wrongfully imprisoned how unjust his situation is. Even devoted loved ones and dedicated lawyers can never have the same certainty as Ted White, who knew absolutely he was not guilty! And in the end, Ted White’s account is an eyewitness testimony to the epitome of human isolation: wronged, separated from society and loved ones, and trapped in an existence defined by what Ted alone knows without a doubt to be a...

The traffic was stopped for the clearing of an earlier traffic accident that day, approximately 30 miles east of Columbia, Missouri. The Missouri Department of Transportation (DOT) had DANGER signs and a flagman posted everywhere, warning traffic of this major congestion. George Albright, driving a 70,000-pound tractor-trailer back to Tennessee, fell asleep at the wheel and did not see all the warning signs; slamming into this stopped line of cars, scattering them like bowling pins and instantly killing Beverly, Beulah, Elois and Anita. According to Albrights initial statements, he said he arrived in Columbia, Missouri, at approximately 6 AM, and had slept for 10 hours and 45 minutes before starting his trip back home. Albright, and his company officials adamantly denied that fatigue played any role in the wreck. Of course, a gaping hole remained in terms of an explanation. How could someone drive a 70,000-pound tractor-trailer into stopped traffic if he was not asleep at the wheel? Eye witnesses provided statements to the police indicating that they saw Albright nodding off at the wheel just a couple of miles prior to the crash site. Yet all of the defendants maintained Albright was bright eyed and bushytailed! Thanks to modern technology, Albrights cell phone records clearly showed that he was in St. Louis, Missouri, approximately three hours east of Columbia at 6:50 AM on the date of the wreck, and that Albright had falsified and lied in his log books. When confronted with his cell phone records, Albright admitted that he had lied and falsified his logs, and that he didn’t take the 10 hours of rest required by federal regulations. Additionally, in court it was discovered that approximately one third of Albrights logs were missing... car crash truck deaths Legal News Yes http://www.legalshowtime.com/thumb/1_150.jpg 1848.72 http://www.legalshowtime.com/video/151/Not-In-Good-Hands-–-American-Family-Insurance-The-Galen-Ri http://www.legalshowtime.com/flvideo/151.flv Not In Good Hands – American Family Insurance The Galen Ri [b][i]Not In Good Hands – American Family Insurance The Galen Richey Story[/i][/b] Today, the Insider Exclusive presents a really tragic story, one that American Family Insurance doesn’t want you to know. One hot Missouri summer day, Galen Richey’s sister, Brenda, called her insurance company, American Family, and her agent, Catherine Philipp-Leatz, telling her that a 1,400-pound tree limb – nearly half the tree – had fallen on Brenda’s house. She called three times that week, and on three separate occasions American Family refused to pay to have the 1,400-pound limb removed under the terms and conditions of her homeowner’s policy. The reason given by her agent was that “unless the tree fell during a storm, she had no coverage.” The tree limb remained on Brenda’s rooftop for at least 10 days. Brenda, a single mother, wasn’t able to afford to pay a tree removal service to remove this tree. Unable to get any help whatsoever from American Family and her agent, Brenda called her big brother, Galen, as a last resort. In the process of removing the huge tree, the limb broke and knocked Galen off the roof to the ground, 15-feet below, landing on his tailbone. He suffered a severe spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Today, the Insider Exclusive presents how Galen Richey’s lawyer, Brian McCallister, took on American Family Insurance and got justice for Galen Richey with a record verdict of $13 million, upheld by the Missouri Court of Appeals. And how they taught American Family Insurance the real meaning of: • Real shoulders to lean on • Delivering much more than a policy and “peace of mind” • Being truly helpful and caring • And especially, keeping their promises Brian F.

Wyoming DFS [b][i]Family Services Abuses – Nations v. Wyoming DFS[/i][/b] Despite constitutional guarantees, Americans’ civil rights and liberties are constantly in danger of violation, whether by individuals, corporations or government institutions. Regardless of whether personal prejudices or national security concerns lie at the root of these violations, challenging them – and holding wrongdoers accountable – is imperative for the sake of constitutional integrity and the preservation of The American Way. Trial lawyers advocate for awareness, the truth, and a persons right to know. They believe that in the absence of the truth, all of us stand helpless to defend ourselves, our families, our health, and our way of life. Often times, we don’t think about or worry about or understand what is happening to another, until it happens to us. Deceits have no boundaries. Disease doesn’t recognize the color of our skin or our political party’s affiliation. When it comes to cover-ups and false allegations by Agencies of the State and the Federal Government, there is not a soul amongst us who does not have a cringing fear of their overwhelming, awesome power. It is at these times that we need experienced and dedicated trial lawyers, the warriors in the courtroom who are willing to battle for us “tooth and nail” in the Halls of Justice: To protect our cherished way of life. Such a “Call for Justice” happened on February 10, 1994, when the State of Wyoming’s Department of Family Services revoked Connie and Roland Nations’s Daycare Center License in Riverton, Wyoming.

As symbols of their generation, Arthur and Loretta defined the virtues of their era: duty, honor, hard work, bravery, service, and love of family and country. Throughout this story, Steve shows how his father – and an entire generation – came of age during the Second World War and other great social, political and economic events. Arthur and Loretta were shaped by these changes – and they shaped these changes, too. When innocence and youth were their birthright, Steve takes us back to he harrowing days of the Great Depression and the Second World War, a conflict where Arthur fought selflessly and suffered tremendously. Arthur answered America’s call to defend freedom, and was wounded and underwent multiple surgeries to restore his arm to use. With Loretta at his side, Arthur overcame great odds and started a beautiful family of three sons and a daughter. They succeeded on every front and then began a new journey: creating roots for themselves and their young family in Southern California. A grateful nation gave Arthur and Loretta a second chapter – like millions of other Americans – to give the next generation, the Baby Boomers, an opportunity to succeed in peacetime. And Arthur and Loretta contributed to this national renaissance, supporting America’s quests in science, literature, art, industry, and finance. Leading productive and enriching lives, Arthur and Loretta raised their children to better themselves, watching as their sons and daughter became parents themselves and decorated leaders in education, construction, athletics and law.

But in putting themselves in harm’s way to serve and protect the public, they have also been exposing themselves to a hidden killer: the meth lab itself. 81 police officers in Utah have either died, have terminal illness or are extremely sick – and the one common denominator in every one of these health situations is the officer spent large amount of time in a drug lab. Utah officers were among the first to be exposed to chemical exposure in meth labs in the early and mid 1980’s. At the time, the long-term side effects of such exposure were not known and officers were not required to wear protective gear. The extent of the serious effects of such exposure to health is currently well documented – people who come in contact with the highly toxic chemicals used to make the drug can become sick and prolonged exposure can lead to cancer. The use of protective gear is now fully implemented. Unfortunately, this necessary precaution has come too late for dozens of law enforcement personnel already suffering from various serious ailments. Tragically, several officers in Utah who worked in the methamphetamine strike forces have died of cancer in the last few years. The establishment of the Utah Meth Cops Project gives hope for the first time to these unsung heroes exposed to toxic chemicals in the line of duty. The project was started with the purpose of raising funds to train a local team to deliver the program in Utah to those law enforcement personnel who had been poisoned by contact with toxins from meth labs encountered in the line of duty, on a humanitarian basis, at no cost to them.

It’s the true spirit of sportsmanship, stating: "All players shall conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf." Golf has been touted for centuries as a "gentlemen's game," and, rightly so. For Champion Hall of Famer, Bob Betley, “The Spirit of the Golf Game” has exemplified his entire professional career. And, although Bob got a late start in playing the game, he made up for it quickly, turning pro just a couple of years after taking up the game seriously. With his wife and caddie, Jane, at his side, he won the Utah Open in 1979 and went on to win state open titles in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho, piling up a more than 75 tournament victories and over $1 million in career earnings along the way. Bob's biggest win as a pro came when he won the 1993 Bank of Boston Classic on the Senior PGA Tour. He also finished second in the Shootout at Jeremy Ranch, losing a memorable 8-hole, sudden-death playoff to former U.S. Open champ Orville Moody in the Utah Senior Tour event. He was a “gentleman” amongst gentlemen and on top of his game – but then tragedy struck. Bob was seriously and permanent injured when his car was rear-ended by an underinsured driver. As a result, he hasn't been able to golf or enjoy one of his other great talents, painting – primarily wildlife oils and portraits – since then. No more golf, no more travel, no more painting. In an instant, Bob’s livelihood and way of life ceased to exist. Despite the trauma and hardship, he and his wife were determined to soldier on. As hardworking, responsible, and honest as ever, they thought they could handle things themselves. They filed a claim with their own auto insurance company (a...

And joining Roger is a former contestant from the very same incident that resulted in Jennifer’s death, as well as two jurors from this case. The jury awarded Billy Strange and his family $16.5 million dollars for the wrongful death of his wife, Jennifer Strange. And, after the verdict, Roger Dreyer stated that this kind of verdict sends an important message to media organizations across the nation: "From day one, we have wanted to make certain that the media in the nation, particularly radio media . . . understand they can't have these kinds of contests without taking necessary steps to research them and educate the people participating." And what stronger message could we possibly want than that? Roger A. Dreyer has tried in excess of 100 jury trials to conclusion with over twenty of those trials exceeding seven figures. He has represented a diverse client base ranging from the poor to the National Football League's Oakland Raiders and Al Davis in their successful trial verdict over the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum in 2003. He has been recognized by his peers as the Trial Lawyer of the Year for the State of California in 2004 and as one of the Top 100 Super Lawyers of Northern California, the only such personal injury trial attorney in the Sacramento region to be so recognized. He has achieved resolution of cases for his clients exceeding 100 million dollars, including more than 100 verdicts and settlements exceeding seven figures.

Pharmaceutical companies deceptively encourage doctors, and to a lesser extent, the public, with marketing that misrepresents risks, promotes unproven uses, and makes unsubstantiated claims. And Eli Lilly was no stranger to the deliberate and deceptive marketing of “off label prescriptions like Zyprexa, which is used a host of conditions such as: anxiety, sleep disruption, mood swings, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity and dementia. According to the New York Times, company documents reveal that Eli Lilly was fully aware of Zyprexas link with diabetes and weight gain. Lilly benefited from its misrepresentations and fraudulent conduct by gaining sales of Zyprexa at the expense of other, safe, effective drugs. Today, The Insider Exclusive presents how Utah’s Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff, along with Joe Steele of Steele Biggs, and Mitch Jensen of Siegfried Jensen successfully reached a record $24 million settlement against Eli Lilly – and also established corporate integrity responsibilities and remedial provisions that continue to be monitored by the court today.

People like Dixie Smith and her daughters Charlene and Lyra, the plaintiffs in Smith v. Vista Verde Farms, who were struck in a head-on collision by a drunk driver. Charlene suffered brain and spinal injuries in this tragedy, while Dixie endured a badly fractured leg and Lyra had several internal injuries. Or Sue Yslas, the plaintiff in Yslas v.

Rick was in a position to be seen, and the driver failed to yield the right of way, fatally injuring Rick.

Regents of NMSU [b][i][u]Racism in America – Bird v. Regents of New Mexico State University[[/u]/i][/b] Las Cruces, is The City of the Crosses, the second largest city in New Mexico and the home of New Mexico State University (NSMU), founded in 1888, New Mexicos only land grant university. New Mexico State University began as an agricultural college and now it is a comprehensive institution dedicated to teaching, research, and service at the graduate and undergraduate level. The university also has an extensive international student population from countries in Central America, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The Total enrollment for NMSU main campus and branch campuses is 26,391. Minority enrollment at the main campus is more than 48 percent (41.4 percent Hispanic, 2.9 percent American Indian, 2.7 percent African-American and 1.3 percent Asian-American). Obviously, NMSU and Las Cruces have a long and proud history of ethnic traditions; and one would never, ever think that this university – the only research-extensive, land-grant, USA-Mexico border institution classified as Hispanic serving by the federal government – would become a battlefield of racial discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination. But it has, because of the actions and racist attitudes of a very small group of former NMSU faculty and regents – a place where five plaintiffs, Drs. Yelena Bird, Robert Buckingham, John Moraros, Satya Rao and Freedom Cheteni, received anonymous hate letters calling them the N-word or N-lover and warning them to leave NMSU or else. Other racist comments included threats to oust these Bird and Moraros from the university because the academy is not the place for your kind of people and that few wetbacks and n*****s have your kind of education. This blatant discrimination against four faculty members and one graduate student has resulted in many major changes at the University: The university president resident is gone; the president of the Board of Regents, too; as well as two other...

We like to earn our own way. And most of us do exactly that for most of our lives. But some of us arent that lucky. Some of us get hurt, or get sick, and we simply cant go on working. Thats why there is a disability section of the Social Security law. If youre a good, hard working person, who has paid the required amount of your FICA (Social Security) taxes, and your doctor says you simply cant work anymore, youre probably entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. Regardless of what anyone tells you, its good advice. If you are disabled and unable to work, pursue a claim for Social Security disability, or SSDI (based on disability), and get it filed immediately because disability claims can take a very long time to process. Unfortunately, many claimants for disability benefits have experienced severe problems and hardship simply because they had no idea how long the process would be, and only realized when it was too late that they should have filed an application much sooner. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is Every Workers’ Disability Insurance Program. It’s a payroll tax-funded, federal insurance program of the United States government. SSDI, managed by the Social Security Administration, is designed to provide income to people who are unable to work because of a disability. SSDI is intended to be provided until a person’s condition improves, and benefits are only granted after a lengthy determination process, whereby the applicant must prove that he or she is disabled. Today, The Insider Exclusive presents Robert Rainer and Christopher O’Connor, partners and founding members of Social Security Lawyers of America and Rainer OConnor, LLP, to help you better understand how to navigate SSDI claims.

Today, for the first time ever since that fateful day, July 14, 1999, The Insider Exclusive takes a look back in this exclusive special with a behind the scenes story of the survivors and their lawyer, Robert Habush, President and Senior Partner of Habush Habush Rottier, S.C. We will show you how he got justice for these victims, three ironworkers, three husbands, and three fathers: Jeff Wischer, Bill DeGrave and Jerome Starr and their families. You will see actual footage of how the crash happened, as it happened, from video shot by a safety inspector on the ground and how this twisted wreckage of a massive construction crane spilled over the crushed shell of the citys newest landmark. The community rallied around the project after the accident where a lot of the little bickering became pretty insignificant, The crash set the project back just one year, as workers quickly set out to repair the damage and complete the ballpark. They did it in memory of the guys that had fallen, and you cant ask for better than that. In the end, the accident at Miller Park has left a legacy of increased safety awareness for crane operators and the construction industry as a whole. In the long process on the road to justice for these victims, Robert Habush and his firm spent over 15 months of discovery before the start of trial on October 16, 2000. During trial preparation 122 depositions were taken, and over 150,000 pages of documents were reviewed. After a 7 week trial, on December 1, 2000, the 16 member jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of the these fallen heroes in the amount of $99,250,000 in damages, $94 million of it in punitive damages against Mitsubishi.

Everybody knows that sexism exists on Wall Street. Everybody knows that women on Wall Street have to be better and work harder than their male counterparts to get ahead. Everybody knows that very few women hold positions of real power or earn top dollars on Wall Street. And everybody knows that the Old Boys Club atmosphere persists on Wall Street. Complaining about gender discrimination against your employer can be the kiss of death for your job and your career. The issue of women’s rights, not in the sense of special kinds of human rights reserved for women but in the sense of the equal enjoyment by women of their general human rights, remains an important one. The Universal Declaration and the Human Rights treaties forbid discrimination on the grounds of gender. Article 2 states that “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration without distinction of any kind.” Article 7 states that “All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination”. This means that the anti-discrimination rule goes beyond discrimination in the application of human rights. Every law which offers unequal protection to men and women is a violation of the Universal Declaration, whether or not this law seeks to protect human rights. More progress has been made for women, but most women continue to work in jobs stereotyped as female jobs and women in nearly all job categories receive less pay than males in those same job categories.

Maybe just like your own family doctor. And these people end up either dead or permanently injured. Last year, over 98,000 victims were killed by doctors. More than 4 million victims are permanently injured. Today, the Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines with Jerry Meyers, one of America’s top medical malpractice lawyers, to examine how three different incompetent and negligent gynecologists failed to diagnosis and treat a 25-year-old mother of three who had 7 separate – that’s right: 7 separate pap smears that tested abnormal – and yet all three doctors failed to the required further testing to rule out potential cervical cancer. This young mother died, three years later, in October 2007, from just that: cervical cancer. Every year over 11,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with this cancer. If it is diagnosed early, treatment can be successful. On the other hand, a misdiagnosis can result in delayed treatment, and without the proper treatment, the survival rate decreases considerably and it sometimes leads to unnecessary and tragic death as in this case. Jerry Meyers’s passion is problem solving. He approaches each medical negligence case as a scientist trying to solve a puzzle. For 10 years, Jerry was on the front lines as a Navy medic and respiratory therapist. He’s seen many patients suffer needless injury – and because of that, he is driven to help people who have been harmed by incompetent and negligent doctors. Jerry’s goal is to make medicine safer and more accountable, and of course, to get justice for this young mother and her surviving children who were orphaned by her untimely death. Jerry Meyers focuses exclusively on medical malpractice cases, an area to which he’s devoted his entire 34-year career as an attorney.

By acting with integrity in whatever you do, that solid foundation is reinforced for both your personal and your professional life. Integrity is simply obedience to the unenforceable. It is doing the right thing when no one is looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing thats right is to get by; and the only thing thats wrong is to get caught. Integrity is continuing with that same level of effort when the daily routine returns to normal. What if each of one of us could feel proud of our decisions if the details of those decisions were in the evening news? What if each one of us were able to push through the thirty seconds of discomfort to explore the brutal facts and take action and do the right thing? What if each one of us communicated clearly by speaking the truth plainly and openly? Mike Prendergast, is one of people who made a decision to tell the truth: to put Fundamental Long Term Care, LLC’s, patients’ safety and health ahead of his. He made a courageous decision, not a “What If Decision” but a real decision to do the right thing. And it cost him his job, but not his reputation or his integrity.

In the incidence of capital cases, the U. S. Supreme Court has recognized what research has long shown: Jurors often make sentencing decisions prematurely, ……and they often base their decisions on their personal reactions to the defendant, …..their confusion about the rules of law, …..and their lack of understanding regarding their own role and responsibilities In an effort to safeguard against jurors unguided emotional responses when determining punishment for capital defendants, the Court set forth a legal standard that requires defense teams in capital cases to conduct thorough investigations into the defendants backgrounds. If the defendant is found guilty, the information derived from that investigation must then be presented as mitigating evidence during the penalty phase of the trial. The capital mitigation process comes to life when a Legal Defense teams’s social worker, using a life history model of investigation, assumes the role of mitigation specialist, AND by capitalizing on social work theory and research, practice knowledge and skills yields vital information that, through objective presentation of fact…..guides sentencing . The gold standard for mitigation practice is reliance on focused investigation and presentation of evidence about a defendants life and character that is sufficient to compel jurors to consider a complexity of personal, social, and ecological issues in deciding attribution of responsibility that mitigate defendants legal accountability in capital offenses. The established mitigation strategy that relies on social histories and life-stories survives and thrives as a legal mandate and preferred approach in capital cases.

However, it requires a highly skilled surgeon to properly perform the procedure. Due to the popularity and costs of this type of surgery, many doctors who lack required skill and training attempt the surgery. In 2010, nearly ninety percent of all gallbladder surgeries were performed using a method known laparoscopic surgery. In the modern gallbladder operation, a minor incision is made in the abdominal cavity, which allows as trocar to pass through with a fiber optic camera. During the procedure, the surgeon utilizes the fiber optics to perform the necessary internal surgical procedures, which may include removal of the gallbladder or other actions, such as blocking ducts and arteries during the gallbladder surgery. Consequences of Negligence The single biggest risk to a patient in a laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is a careless error by the surgeon. Some injuries and errors during the surgery can cause death or be life threatening unless attended to immediately. Even when the patient survives, there is prolonged loss of income, pain, digestive problems, and repeated surgical and medical interventions that cost money. In this INSIDER EXCLUSIVE Investigative TV Special we exposed how the Palm Springs General Hospital, in Hialeah, Florida and its former surgeon, Dr. Juan Julio Hernandez-Pombo TOTALLY BOTCHED this rather common surgery and nearly killed Lazaro Perez!

During the 2005-06 season, Middle & High school football players sustained more than half a million injuries nationally. And 13 year old Zackery Lystedt was one of them…. But Zack’s Tragedy has inspired the BIGGEST Positive change in the Way Football is now played in America! With Washington’s Governor Chris Gregoire signing into law the new “Zackery Lystedt Law” And now Zack’s courageous Story and his continuing struggle to recover…is receiving widespread recognition & Admiration across America …..And even in the NFL… According to the Center for Disease Control, …..Among high school sports, football is responsible for the most injuries per player. More than 300,000 sports and recreation related traumatic brain injuries occur in the United States each year. And at least 50 football players in high school ….in more than 20 states…. have been killed or sustained serious head injuries on the football field. That puts football head and shoulders above the second-place sport, wrestling. That's troubling…… because young brains are particularly susceptible to second-impact syndrome, a catastrophic swelling of the brain that can happen when a player sustains a second blow to the head before the first has healed. Administrators, trainers, and coaches play key roles in preventing concussions. Managing them correctly can prevent serious and permanent injuries such as those suffered by Zach. This standard of care required that Zack be removed from play when he was initially injured.

They all knew the danger of a mudslide in that particular area. It had happened before-they knew it would happen again, soon. Folks in the affected neighborhood kept calling the city. Call after call and nobody cared. No one took action, no one did a thing. Then the unthinkable occurred. A mudslide of tremendous proportions dropped on a home, killing a mother and her two children. It took days to sift through the mud, trying to recover their bodies. Folks were somber and reflective. But then the finger pointing began. Each department blamed the another for not taking action.

We have provided the Official Chicago Police Training Video demonstrating how “FELONY STOPS” how these “Felony Stops” must be conducted by the Police… to Shield &Protect the Police Officers as well as the suspects. As you watch this Insider Exclusive Special, you will see how this procedure called “Shielding”… the Police term for the use of their Car Doors and tires to protect themselves… by Getting down between the Door & the car….. is extremely important, not only for the Officers but also those suspects the police are stopping. On these “FELONY STOPS”… You can see all Police commands to suspects ….are issued from BEHIND their DOORS…which are basically their Shields. The Proper Protocol is …..All suspects are ordered out of the car……Away from their vehicle …And ordered down on the ground with their hands held high in the air, until they are handcuffed and secured. This is the correct way Chicago Police Officers are instructed to apprehend suspects in a car at a FELONY STOP BUT it was not the way, Chicago Police Officers stopped Robert Russ, a popular Northwestern University graduating Senior….. on the evening of June 5, 1999…which resulted in his unnecessary and tragic death In this Insider Exclusive Special, “WHEN COPS GO WRONG – DEADLY FELONY STOPS” …… We show how Don Shapiro Founder & Partner @ the law firm of Don Shapiro Ltd got Justice for Robert’s family with a Record Breaking Verdict of $12 Million dollars… You will see how Don proved this case by proving the lies …and the contradictions of the various Chicago police officers… By assembling an array of highly qualified expert witnesses, including world renowned forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden and Dr James Fyfe – former NYPD cop – Prof John Jay College of Crim Justice & Head of NYPD Police Academy.

But the real reason for coming…. is prosperity and the Freedom to be successful. For decades, economic growth has easily surpassed population growth, giving the U.S., and much of the rest of the world…….both more people and more prosperity. Simply put, the desire for a better life somewhere other than their current country….. is the biggest motivator….. And this is what America offers …..that better life they wish for …..And dream of. And one of those dreamers…. that wanted a better life in America ….was Narin Bun. Narin had escaped one of the worst genocides in world history…. perpetrated by the Cambodian Khmer Rouge, during the Pol Pot regime. On April 17th, 1975 the Khmer Rouge, a communist guerrilla group led by Pol Pot, took power in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. They forced all city dwellers into the countryside and to labor camps to work in the fields as slaves. During their rule, it is estimated that 2 million Cambodians, roughly 30% of the Cambodian population…. died by starvation, torture or execution. And From this horrible world …Narin Bun escaped ….to come to America Narin’s American dream started to come true…For a awhile. She obtained an accounting degree. She got married to Sipho Bun and they had three beautiful daughters. Then On May 12, 2002 Narin suddenly began feeling ill ……And was admitted to Provena St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin, Illinois…. a suburb of Chicago. She was diagnosed with a form of toxic shock syndrome and a central venous catheter was placed to deliver intravenous antibiotics. After a stormy course, Narin was recovering such that her doctor ordered her antibiotics discontinued and the central line removed.

He died …with his head buried in a hole…. dug in a sandbox …..suffocating on the wet sand which became clogged in his throat and lungs. On that same morning,… Carl’s Parents had dropped him off at the Day Care Center…expecting to pick him up later in the afternoon. BUT at 5:30pm….. April 24th ….He was Medevacd by helicopter to an emergency hospital and despite 17 attempts of resuscitation; he was pronounced DOA at the hospital. He died ….While his Day Care Supervisors “didn’t do their jobs”… and failed to “Supervise the children at their Day Care Center”. When they were asked….. How this could have happened??? FIRST they blamed …the local “Volunteer” Fire Dept” for 1) Not Getting to the center fast enough….. and THEN 2) they blamed them for Not resuscitating him correctly…. When those excuses didn’t work…they Next put the blame on poor little Carl himself… for burying his own head in the sand…and suffocating himself. So who was really responsible for this tragic death of this innocent child? Not I said the Day Care Center…. Not I said each of the Day Care Center workers……. And Certainly not us… said their lawyers… They simply believed, and saw this incident, as a tragic accident and nothing more … According to them…there was NO negligence whatsoever in properly supervising the children on the playground, And they were sure that each one of them would come across to a jury as caring ….and professional childcare workers.

Francisco received third degree burns over 90% of his body and died an excruciating death….from his wounds…. late the next day. Francisco’s injuries were so horribly painful, that his skin was peeling off his face and body. He was unable to retain his body fluids and so tremendous amounts of fluids had to be pumped into him. This caused a grotesque disfigurement. Surgery was performed on him but when they opened his belly…. his intestines were black and necrotic so he was closed up and several hours later he died. ADM readily ADMITTED to liability… but only offered to pay his family $500,000 ! BUT That was CLEARLY a Pittance for a man,…. like Francisco, who was in the prime of his life….And the Main Bread Winner supporting his parents and 5 brothers and sisters in Mexico.. Since ADM had already admitted liability, the ONLY Legal issue to be decided in the courts now…. was compensatory damage… Or In other words….. What was the True Value of Francisco’s Life to his family, not as ADM lowballed it, but the real true value as seen through the eyes of a jury? ADM’s lawyers tried unsuccessfully to diminish the value of Francisco’s life by unsuccessfully trying to introduce the fact that Francisco was an “illegal immigrant”… And yet they knew that the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment provides for… Equal Protection under the Law for all people (it says "People", not just "Citizens") within the jurisdiction of the United States. The ADM Lawyer… • Even suggested that a verdict of only a few hundred thousand dollars would be plenty for “this” family …..as he pointed to Mr. and Mrs. Garcia, in the courtroom The implication was clearly “this poor Mexican” family.

Yet in reality the industry harbors…. a dirty little secret. "People are giving them money for something they will never receive” "What that really means is they're selling uncollectible insurance." Insurance Companies RULE our country. They control our banking…. Look at AIG! TOO BIG TO FAIL! They own WALL STREET!. They catch a virus…. and Wall Street has Diarrhea for a week! And when Interest rates fall and their investment earnings plummet…..then they run to Congress and SCREAM “TORT REFORM”. “Lawsuits are killing us…they scream…And those Greedy trial lawyers are to blame….. by filing frivolous lawsuits and convincing ignorant juries to dole out obscene verdicts… BUT Ironically….. WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW…. Until now is… that Insurance companies regularly and deliberately invite lawsuits whenever the costs and hassles for a third party claimant look to exceed all potential for recovery. Rather than just doing the right thing, …..Too many insurers prefer to play a game of litigation chicken….. …A frivolous lawsuit strategy in reverse…. Don't like it? …Sue me. And while insurance companies play rough with consumers, they play even rougher with each other. Take the process of subrogation for example. Here you have one insurance company making a claim against another. Rather than the "sue me" response,……the greeting afforded a subrogation claim usually starts with a two word expletive. Still that does not make this game right whether played against consumers or other insurance companies.

Louisiana and Texas form the core of the U.S. vinyl industry….. producing 94 percent of the nation's ethylene dichloride And On May 31, 1994, a barge was unloading “Ethylene Dichloride” (EDC) at the Conoco Refinery on the Calcasieu River when workers detected a leak from an old underground pipeline built way back in the 1940s.

In the nearly 20 years since the 1990 enactment of the Hate Crime Statistics Act ….the number of hate crimes reported has consistently ranged around 30,000 or more annually…., Or more than one Hate Crime every 15 Minutes of every Single hour of every Single day in every single year…Year in and Year Out These FACTS almost certainly understate the true numbers of hate crimes committed because…. Victims may be fearful of authorities and thus may not report these crimes. Or local authorities do not accurately report these violent incidents as hate crimes and thus fail to report them to the federal government. All Americans have a stake in reducing hate crimes. These crimes are intended to intimidate not only the individual victim, but all members of the victim's community, and even members of other communities historically victimized by hate. By making these victims and communities fearful, angry, and suspicious of other groups — and of the authorities who are charged with protecting them — these incidents fragment and isolate our communities, tearing apart the interwoven fabric of American society. Eliminating prejudice requires that Americans develop respect for cultural differences and establish dialogue across racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious boundaries. Education, awareness, and acceptance of group differences are the cornerstones of a long-term solution to prejudice, discrimination, and bigotry. Hate crime laws and effective responses to hate violence by public officials and law enforcement authorities can play an essential role in deterring and preventing these crimes, creating a healthier and stronger society for all Americans.

Teens get drunk twice as fast as adults…. but have more trouble knowing when to stop. Teens naturally overdo it and binge more often than adults. Enforcing the legal drinking age of 21 reduces traffic crashes…. protects young people’s maturing brains…. and keeps young people safer overall. “Alcohol Retailers Can Help Reduce Teen Drinking…” “Retailers play an essential role in reducing teen access” Retailers can take steps to make sure that teens can't buy alcohol from their stores…. and they can serve as a source of information to reduce the possibility that alcohol legally sold to an adult will end up in a teenager's hands. Responsible retailing practices are key to preventing illegal alcohol sales. But it takes more than just telling your staff not to sell to minors. Responsible retailers need specific policies… backed up by training and accountability, that enable staff to say, "If I sell to you, I'll lose my job."

They first approved life-saving Cancer treatments …(previously approved for other policy holders) … then completely switched gears…reclassifying these same "approved" treatments as "experimental"…resulting in the death of 49 year old Esther Dardinger. The bottom line was….as the Ohio Supreme Court clearly stated: Anthem Blue Cross put "Profits before People"….And didn't live up their TV Commercial and Public Relations promises! Like many insurance company's Public Relations TV Commercial campaigns that saturate the TV airwaves 24 hours a day….7 days a week…365 days per year….on Christmas…on your birthday, Thanksgiving…and on every imaginable holiday….Anthem Blue Cross tells their policy holders that they care…really care …or otherwise…. as they say…. Direct Quote: "…If we didn't care about people….we couldn't do our jobs…" Sounds real good doesn't it ?….Only problem is Anthem Blue Cross really doesn't mean what they say! And Bob Dardinger, widower of Esther Dardinger is a living witness to that. 49 year old Esther Dardinger beat breast cancer until it metastasized to her brain. Ohio State University physician Dr. Herbert Newton, her physician, had successfully treated cancer like Esther's through intra-arterial chemotherapy. Her husband's health insurer Anthem Blue Cross paid for three of the 12 scheduled treatments. Bob & Esther first learned that the 4th treatment was being denied……… the day before it was given. The insurance company had approved the first three of 12 treatments, but then refused further payment declaring the procedure…. "experimental." Despite the fact that Ester Dardinger was responding favorably to treatment …..and that the same treatment had been approved for other patients.

Mark Twain. Twain’s words are profoundly “on mark” and could be an informal mantra for how Lawyers should prepare their case presentations. Twain’s call for “show, don’t tell” is a winning strategy to help convey an Opening Statement to tell a story to the jury… People actually remember things best in story format. But not just any story – it has to be told right. There can’t be too many details….. or the story structure gets lost. Each sentence has to move the story forward in time…. Otherwise…. you’re telling details…. not a story. It must move chronologically. We all connect to stories, especially ones that involve good vs. evil…. and that remind us of our shared histories. We especially want the good—often the underdog—to beat the bad. The battle that often rages in civil court is the money-seeking unworthy plaintiff motif… against the uncaring defendants who will not admit the wrong they have caused. And Without a good story… Jurors have nothing to grasp hold of.

By proving how this horrific Gas Explosion really happened… And more importantly… How it could have been prevented… Bob proved what was wrong with the equipment….. He proved that the manufacturers…. Liquid Controls’ and Blackmer’s failures were on five specific issues: • They failed to “design and manufacture a safe product... • They failed to test the product… • They failed to know their customers… • They failed to educate their customers… • AND They failed to warn their customers that…there is anything “unsafe or potentially dangerous” about their product.” More specifically ….. Liquid Controls failed to put a sufficiently protective strainer on its meter… This meant that particles that could clog the meter and could get through the “protective” strainer. But this case faced some real legal challenges and hurdles to overcome like… • It was impossible to precisely replicate what happened since….. never in the history of this meter nor the pump manufacturer, had there ever been a case such as this one; • The defendants claimed their products are not defective and this was not foreseeable; • And defendants vigorously argued… they are not the cause of the fire.

Iron is pumped, stretched to its limit, and filled with all sorts of volatile chemicals designed to generate explosive power……and an impressive aesthetic presence. Following the trends of the overbuilt, steroid-injected weight lifters of recent decades, the human obsession with disproportionately large firearms has only increased as the demand for “more stopping power and a bigger hole” has become the popular and widely accepted trend for judging a weapon’s legitimacy. This trend has literally driven certain weapons engineers stark raving mad…. and has raised the issue among seasoned firearms experts: Size matters. But how big is too big? Somewhere along the line weapons engineers realized that if a shotgun and a pistol got married, they would produce a baby that looked like it was on steroids and VOILA… The FREEDOM ARMS FA Model 83 .454 Casull caliber revolver was born. In 1983, the Freedom Arms ("FA") Model 83 claimed the mantra of the world's most powerful handgun by producing a .454 Casull caliber revolver which was "capable of delivering over a ton of energy". A 300 grain bullet fired from the FA Model 83 revolver generated fifty percent (50%) more “foot pounds of energy” than the same bullet fired from Dirty Harry’s 44 magnum To stay competitive, other leading firearms manufacturers, including Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Taurus and BFR/Magnum Research, introduced revolvers designed for the .454 Casull caliber cartidge. BUT…. Unlike Dirty Harry's .44 magnum revolver, the FA Model 83 revolver is not equipped with any type of automatic safety feature to protect owners and bystanders from the revolver firing if it is dropped or the hammer impacted without the hammer being cocked and the trigger being pulled. Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Taurus and BFR/Magnum Research all equip their revolvers with safety features called hammer blocks or transfer bars which prevent the hammer from impacting the firing pin unless the hammer is cocked... guns death revolver casull weapons Legal News Yes http://www.legalshowtime.com/thumb/1_227.jpg 1340.05 http://www.legalshowtime.com/video/228/WHEN-LAWN-MOWERS-ATTACK-–-Ethans-Story http://www.legalshowtime.com/flvideo/228.flv WHEN LAWN MOWERS ATTACK – Ethan's Story Using a lawn mower can be as routine as bike riding or barbeques during spring and summer. But often, people find themselves in terrifying situations with these seemingly safe household machines. Over 200,000 people, including 17,000 children suffered lawn mower injuries last year. The injuries included severed toes, fingers and limbs, burns, and eye injuries. And mower injuries were up 3 percent last year, Each year, hundreds of small children are tragically injured by riding lawnmowers which flip over or back up with the cutting blades turning. On the average of once a day…. young children, typically age 2-5, are backed over and catastrophically injured by the rotating blades of a riding lawnmower. Almost all of these children will suffer long-term medical complications, and some of the most devastating and disabling injuries from the blade contact injuries. 99% of these children will suffer long-term social and psychological complications from the blade contact injuries. The operator of the riding lawnmower is usually a parent, grandparent,… sibling,…. relative or neighbor of the injured child. And….The social and psychological consequences on the operator of the riding lawnmower….as well as the family of the riding lawnmower back-over victim are also devastating. The resulting injuries and medical complications and social and psychological consequences suffered by the victims and their families could have easily been avoided. Virtually all of these accidental injuries could have been prevented if the manufacturer of the riding lawnmower had used a simple and inexpensive “No Mow In Reverse” (NMIR) safety feature. “No Mow In Reverse” safety features prevent the riding lawnmower blades from rotating while the machine is backing up in reverse. NMIR safety features have been designed into all MTD/Cub Cadet riding lawnmowers since 1983. John Deere and Toro began installing NMIR safety features in their lawnmowers in 1998.

Last year Louisiana ranked “4th” nationally in vehicle and train fatalities and “1st” in the “Most Accidents per Public Grade Crossings” Train accidents and, specifically….. railroad crossing accidents…. can have devastating effects on motor vehicles. When a train hits another vehicle -- a car, truck or SUV -- the results are catastrophic. Often, these accidents and deaths could have been prevented. Figures from the National Transportation Safety Board state that approximately 60 percent of all railroad crossing fatalities occur at “unprotected” or passive crossings. Passive crossings are those crossings with only a railroad crossing sign. The statistics also state that “Protected Crossings”….. those crossings with warning devices such as lights and gates,,,,, represent only 20 percent of the public railroad crossings in the United States.

Prince William County residents were at risk for a hidden danger…their own 911 system provided only the “illusion of safety” Unfortunately for one of their residents, James Overman….it took…. his death in the early morning hours of February 23, 1988….. for this tragic truth to become public. On the morning of February 23, 1988, Mr. Overman fell in the bathroom of his home and briefly lost consciousness. Concerned about her husband’s physical condition and medical history, Mrs. Overman 1st dialed “911” at 5:55 a.m. and reported her husband’s symptoms to the operator, David Batson. Batson asked several questions to determine the nature and severity of Mr. Overman’s condition and told her he would “get somebody out there.” Batson then cleared the call from the “911” computer A second call to “911” was made at 6:05 a.m. to request an ambulance. This time, a different operator answered the call, and after hearing a description of the symptoms, said that she would send someone out.

Before you consider going under the knife…. You need to know about these Dangers . You’ve heard the amazing testimonials: “Morbidly obese person has surgery, ….sheds 150 pounds….. lives healthfully ever after” You’ve seen stars transform themselves. Carnie Wilson, Al Roker and, if you believe the rumors, Star Jones Reynolds. It’s no wonder the demand for weight loss operations have…. tripled since 2001…. and that many women overlook the risks. But bariatric surgery is no quick fix….. It requires major lifestyle changes and lifetime follow-up. “It should be a last resort,” say most experts. Here’s some truths about weight loss surgery you won’t read in celeb success stories: “Surgery is only for the very obese” Although… some unscrupulous doctors may operate on such people… American Society for Bariatric Surgery guidelines say patients should have a body mass index (BMI) above 40 (which is about 100 pounds overweight), or a BMI above 35 plus serious obesity-related medical problems like type 2 diabetes. “It won’t necessarily make you thin” Bypass patients typically drop 50 to 75 percent of their excess pounds within a year of surgery. After that, weight loss levels off… and some patients…. while no longer morbidly obese…. are still overweight. What’s more, some patients gain back 10 to 20 percent of the lost weight within three to five years. While weight loss surgery has helped thousands…… Doctors definitely agree…. cutting your stomach in half isn’t an ideal solution. “AND ….Complications are likely” “Ever heard of MRSA ?” (Mersa).

In the aftermath of the movement in the 1970s to close large mental asylums… many of today's mentally ill are left to their own devices They are often homeless and without full-time advocates. With government unable or unwilling to properly serve this population… the criminal-justice system is left to pick up the slack. Contrary to what many assume… the mentally ill are most often the victimized… not the victimizers. A 2005 study by researchers at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University found…… that persons with serious mental illnesses are 11 times more likely than the general population to be victims of violent crime….…and perhaps as many as 1 million crimes committed against those with serious mental-health issues each year. But relying on the police to address the problem has too often resulted in tragedy…. not only on the mean streets of big cities… but in quieter places as well. In Butler County, Ohio, Bobbie Ray Steele of New Miami died Oct. 26, 2007…. after his arrest involving an incident with his father. Bobbie Steele was a 40 year-old mentally retarded paranoid schizophrenic. He had never lived on his own. .And, at the time of his death, was living with his father (who was dying from cancer). On the day of his death, Bobbie did not take his medication. He and his dad got into an argument over cat food (which was wet because it was left outside). Bobbie was hitting his dad, so his dad made a “fake” “911 call” to get Bobbie to stop. He wanted Bobbie to think he was calling the police, but he intended to dial and hang up. He did not know deputies would come if he said nothing and just hung up. Bobbie’s Dad’s plan worked. Bobbie calmed down and the two went onto the back patio.

When the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act passed, mandating that all public buses and trains be made accessible, Americans with Disabilities celebrated this new legislation. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guarantees that people with disabilities have the same access to public services such as transportation as people without disabilities. To make bus service available to those with disabilities, many City transit authorities have equipped their buses with wheelchair lifts and other special devices. Public transit authorities also provide ADA paratransit service for those disabled persons who are unable to travel using the fixed route bus service. The ADA paratransit service provides both curb-to-curb service..and door-to-door services The spirit of the ADA is all about equal access and leveling the playing field so that Disabled persons no longer have to sit on the sidelines. But 21 years after the law was passed, we still see horror stories of a “Well-Intended Plan that sometimes goes horribly wrong” Today the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE “Goes Behind The Headlines” to share one of those horror stories in “AMERICAN DISABILITIES ACT PROBLEMS- Florence Kulb’s Story”, and to expose where the ADA’s Paratransit Program went wrong in Philadelphia And how Florence Kulb’s lawyer, Robert Huber, Ptr Huber & Palsir successfully represented Florence to get her the justice she deserved.

A superhighway for marine commerce....Right here in the good ole USA....including building levees that maintain the highway to transport goods worldwide..... while providing flood protection for those living along its banks. But instead of the Panama Canal...Think MRGO....the Mississippi River Gulf Project. The Panama Canal is 50 miles long, stretching across the Isthmus of Panama, connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. In comparison, the MRGO is 76 miles long, and required the removal of 60 million more cubic yards of earth than did the Panama Canal. But the Panama Canal is an unqualified success. 14,000 vessels per year traverse it, and it earns $400 million dollar annually in tolls alone. The MRGO?..... Fewer than 5 ships per day traveled it in any direction…. and instead of earning money, it costs anywhere from $13 million to $37 million per year just to keep it dredged. Perhaps it seemed like a good idea at the time. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would dig a navigational channel to directly connect the Gulf of Mexico to the city of New Orleans. WHY…. It would benefit Big Business! The new passage would shorten a ship’s journey to the Crescent City by 40 miles, and provide an economic boon to St. Bernard, the parish most impacted by the project. The cost? A mere $95 MILLION. That’s $95 Million in 1957… The potential benefit? UNLIMITED…. according to a 1957 News article: “…the (MRGO) is a chance for the industrial development of St. Bernard parish as a supplement to the great industrial growth of neighboring Orleans parish.” It was a promise almost too good to be true — ships, docks, jobs, wharves, business…. and prosperity. Brochures published in the early 1960s declared the new channel would facilitate “the growth and expansion of the Port of New Orleans,…. providing new areas for wharves and industrial expansion and relieve the congestion of the...

This is of great importance to local communities and environmental organizations working on coastal Louisiana restoration.Also by doing whatever needs to be done to restore the wetlands. And making sure that the Restoration of the wetlands will require a combination of techniques that build land.... re-establish the natural salinity and flow of water... and protect shorelines. Will this cost a lot of money to close the MRGO and restore the wetlands? It will......but the cost pales next to the multi-billion dollar risk that the Greater New Orleans Area and St. Bernard Parish face as long as wetlands decimated by the MRGO are not restored. If we follow the advice of some of the World’s most renowned Experts and Scientists who recommend several priority projects for the MRGO Ecosystem like: • Mitigating many historical impacts of the MRGO channel; • Increasing protection from hurricane winds, waves, or storm surge; • Improving fish and wildlife habitat; • And Increasing the resiliency of coastal wetlands to erosion, subsidence, and sea level rise THEN….. we’ve got a “FIGHTING” chance at saving and preserving one of America’s greatest...

They went on a trip to the Cambridge Bay area of Nunavut Province, north of the Arctic Circle that was sold to them in Canada North provided the housing, food, a cook and other provisions during this 10 day hunt for musk ox. The two cabins in which the hunters lived were made of plywood, and had neither a fire extinguisher nor a fire ax……contrary to Canadian law. The Coleman camp stove provided by Canada North flamed fitfully each time it was used…. and the storage of the cooking fuel “naphtha” was not carefully stored in red canisters. Sometimes it was stored in containers marked “water”. One of the hunters, Jerry Hampson from Lancaster, Ohio, filled a pot with liquid from an unmarked jug and placed it on the Coleman stove to heat up bath water at the end of the day. When Canada North’s cook adjusted the flame on the stove…… Flames flared and suddenly engulfed the pot which quickly spread from the pot to other parts of the cabin. Hampson grabbed a Red container containing a clear liquid and dumped it on the flames….thinking it was water! But, INSTEAD, the liquid was naptha, which caused an explosion and turned the cabin into an inferno trapping Brunner, Hampson and Otte. All three caught on fire and believed they were going to die. Brunner, Otte and Hampson were trapped inside… Otte, on fire, escaped through a window after someone outside through a rock smashing it. That caused the door to open, and Brunner, also on fire, crawled through the flames on his hands and feet to safety.Tragically, Hampson died from his injuries.

They account for more than 1 million injuries each year in the United States. What is the cause of so many of these falls? In a great majority of cases….Dangerous & Hazardous conditions. Dangerous conditions such as torn carpeting…. changes in flooring, poor lighting, narrow stairs, or a wet floor can cause someone to slip and hurt themselves inside a building. Other instances of slip and fall accidents can occur when people trip on broken or cracked public sidewalks… or trip and fall on stairs or escalators. In addition, a slip and fall case might arise when someone slips or trips and falls because of rain, ice, snow or a hidden hazard, such as a pothole in the ground. There is no precise way to determine when someone else is legally responsible for your injuries if you slip or trip. Each case turns on whether the property owner acted carefully …..so that slipping or tripping was not likely to happen, and whether you were careless in not seeing or avoiding the condition that caused the accident.

They will share up-to-the-minute news from their investigations and connect the dots among the Army Corps of Engineers…. the bureaucrats…. the politicians… and the chain of events—both natural and human—that culminated in this catastrophe . This is the ultimate inside story of how bureaucracy, politics, and a complete disregard of science… combined to cripple—perhaps forever—a great American city. You will learn how the former Deputy director of the Louisiana State University Hurricane Center, Dr Ivor van Heerden had for years been warning state and local officials about New Orlean?s vulnerability to flooding. He had used every available megaphone to warn of this catastrophe waiting to happen. But just like the fate of the Greek Goddess Cassandra…. his predictions were ignored—until Hurricane Katrina hit on August 29, 2005. Suddenly, Dr van Heerden found himself at the center of a media whirlwind. Stepping forward to challenge the official version of events, he revealed the truth about the city?s shoddy levee construction. In the span of five violent hours on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed major Gulf Coast cities and flattened 150 miles of coastline. Yet those wind-torn hours represented only the first stage of the relentless triple tragedy that Katrina brought to the entire Gulf Coast… from Louisiana to Mississippi to Alabama.

This Landmark decision was the first to break through the legal immunity that has shielded the Corps from liability for flood damage in the deadly storm's aftermath. On March 2, 2012…the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the verdict. In this INSIDER EXCLUSIVE Special, we “Go Behind The Headlines” in KATRINA JUSTICE – Tanya Smith’s Story to meet and examine how Joe Bruno, Managing Partner of Bruno & Bruno and some of his legal team, John Andry and Scott Joanen helped get Tanya justice. And to see how the Corps … in the opinion of U.S. District Court Judge Duval ‘found that they had not acted with due care when it botched the operation and maintenance of MRGO, and it wasn't making a judgment call when it ignored the safety of New Orleans residents and failed to tell Congress about the channel's environmental and safety problems’. And he went on to find that ….. ‘The Corps knew that the channel "would not be a static, unchanging waterway," but nonetheless failed to strengthen MRGO's banks with piles of rock, dredged its depths to the extent that loose soil slid from its shores and dumped dredged muck on delicate wetlands that died and ceased to act as a barrier from salty Gulf waters’. The ‘Corps clearly took the position that its primary mission was to keep the shipping channel open to deep draft traffic regardless of the consequences’, the judge wrote. Joe Bruno and his team of lawyers have earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike…. as some of the best Trial lawyers in New Orleans…. In Louisiana…..and in the nation.

It causes serious illness among an estimated 8.6 million persons…. it costs $167 billion in annual health-related losses,….and it kills approximately 438,000 people each year.. Worldwide, smoking kills nearly 5 million people annually. If current trends continue, this number will double by 2030, and smoking will kill more than 1 billion people during this century. Although smoking prevalence is decreasing slowly in the United States and in some parts of the world, it is increasing sharply in other regions and among certain populations, especially in developing countries and among women. This is despite the fact that the health risks of smoking have been suspected and publicized since shortly after tobacco was first introduced to Europe 400 years ago, and these risks have been scientifically proven for at least the last half century. Smokers, their families, and government entities have been filing lawsuits against tobacco companies for more than 50 years. Over these years, tobacco litigation has seen a number of changes -- from the theories of liability used by plaintiffs to the legal defenses mounted by cigarette manufacturers. For the first 40 years of litigation, the tobacco companies never lost a case. In the 1990s, plaintiffs began to have limited success in tobacco lawsuits, partly because some cigarette company documents were leaked showing the companies were aware of the addictive nature of tobacco. In November 1998, the attorneys general of 46 states and four of the largest tobacco companies agreed to settle the state cases in a Master Settlement Agreement estimated at $246 billion to be paid over 25 years. In 2006, Presented with overwhelming evidence of the tobacco industry deception, U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler issued a landmark verdict that the major cigarette manufacturers are racketeers who engaged in a deadly fraud.

At the heart of the lawsuits are J&J's, and particularly their Janssen units, attempt to market Risperdal for bipolar disorder, dementia, mood and anxiety disorders, when it had only been approved, initially, for psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Of course, only so many people have schizophrenia, so marketing the drug for the slew of conditions other than that….. boosted their customer base tremendously. Never mind that it wasn't approved for those conditions … Victims’ lawyers allege that Janssen lied about Risperdal’s dangers….. just to make money,” They also allege that Jannsen hid Risperdal’s diabetes risks and tricked Medicaid regulators into paying millions of dollars more than they should have for the medicine.

In addition……. 6 million workers suffer non-fatal workplace injuries at an annual cost to U.S. businesses of more than $125 billion dollars.

While authorities are engaged in high-speed police chases or pursuits…. there can be a complete disregard for the safety of other drivers as officers continue the chase well after the danger outweighs the need to apprehend the suspect. More people in the United States are killed by high speed pursuits, and wanton and reckless driving by the Police…than they are by police firearms, and yet…. these wrongful deaths from car accidents will likely continue year after year. That is why two-thirds of those injured or killed in fatal car accidents stemming from a police chases or pursuits… are innocent drivers and pedestrians that have nothing to do with the chase.

Regardless of whether personal prejudices or national security concerns lie at the root of these violations….. Challenging them – and holding wrongdoers accountable – is imperative for the sake of constitutional integrity and the preservation of The American Way. Trial Lawyers advocate for awareness, the truth, and a person's right to know. They believe that in the absence of the truth, all of us stand helpless to defend ourselves, our families, our health, and our way of life. Often times we don’t think about or worry about or understand what is happening to another…. until it happens to us. Deceits have no boundaries. Disease doesn’t recognize the color of our skin or our political party’s affiliation. When it comes to cover-ups and false allegations by Agencies of the State and the Federal Government, there is not a soul amongst us who does not have a cringing fear of their Overwhelming Awesome power ….

This tragic story involves Carlo’s technology company, CamSoft Data Systems/Verge Wireless, which fell victim to an elaborate scheme to steal groundbreaking wireless technology for city-wide surveillance camera installations in New Orleans. Carlo, a young and brilliant entrepreneur, developed public-private partnerships with local governments to build Wi-Fi infrastructures. In 2002, Carlo took the leading role in building wireless hot zones by successfully deploying one of the country’s first citywide, free Wi-Fi hot zone that used mesh technology in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He continued to expand on the role of hot zones in cities and towns by merging wireless technology and application services. In 2003, Carlo and his two friends jointly collaborated to develop a wireless video surveillance system for New Orleans, Louisiana. The system was so promising that major corporations, including Dell, Inc. and Ciber, Inc., struck secretive deals with city officials to take the technology and market it for themselves. The city officials in turn also struck secretive business deals with Carlo’s so-called friends to gain access to the technology…. leaving Carlo and his company out in the cold. A contract was awarded to a company called NetMethods, run by former New Orleans chief technology officer Greg Meffert’s friend Mark St. Pierre, who was also a close associate of New Orleans former Mayor Ray Nagin. Meffert and St Pierre have since been convicted of corruption and a host of other crimes in connection with this scandal. Dell Inc. was also involved in the deal, working with Net Methods.

Some Prosecutors, Police Officials and Politicians with personal agendas call press conferences to launch inflammatory - and usually false or grossly exaggerated - claims about the importance of a given case, totally ignoring the facts… in a rush to judgment. Examples are legion. Today the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE Investigative TV Series examines first hand…. one such case in TRIAL BY MEDIA – Brian Dorian’s Story ….. and how Gregory Kulis @ Gregory Kulis & Associates, and Dave Carlson @ Carlson, Zelazo, & O’Dekirk are pursuing justice against Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupas, State’s Attorney James Glasgow and a sheriff’s detective as defendants on behalf of Officer Brian Dorian. Officer Brian Dorian was Wrongly Accused and arrested in a notorious murder case dubbed the "Honeybee" Shootings. Brian, a Lynwood Police Officer, was arrested and charged in 2010 as the "Honey Bee Killer" -- who went on a two-state shooting spree and killed one man Brian’s Oct. 7, 2010 arrest was based on information that was coerced and influenced from one of the victims who was running from the killer. The victim gave a physical description of the gunman and the truck used in the shootings, which did not match Brian Dorian. The killer, later believed to be slain robber Gary Amaya, shot two men in Beecher and a third outside Lowell, Ind., in October 2010. Based on evidence including the perpetrators gun, it was determined that the Gary Amaya, who was killed… was in fact “The Honey Bee Killer”. But the victim, in the case, was unduly influenced by sheriff’s officers and the Will County, Ill State’s attorney to speculate that Brian Dorian was the gunman, as Brian lawsuit alleges. Dorian told officials he was on his home computer at the time the attacks took place. On Oct. 13, 2010, charges were dropped and Dorian was released from the Will County Detention Center.

From their humble beginnings 125 years ago, Coke has evolved from one product -- Coca-Cola -- to more than 500 brands in 2012. They’ve grown from selling a modest 9 drinks a day in 1886 to 1.8 billion a day. And they’ve expanded from one city in one country to availability in more than 200 countries around the world. The history of Coca-Cola is a story of special moments -- times with family and friends and special occasions when Coke was naturally there. Every person who drinks a Coca-Cola enjoys a moment of refreshment -- and shares in an experience that millions of others have savored. Because we all know that “Things Go Better with Coke”! And all of those individual experiences combined have created a worldwide phenomenon - a truly global brand that plays its own small part on the world stage. So it might seem unbelievable…. that such an iconic American Brand…. with such a stellar record of community spirit and giving to programs such as reaching out to American Veterans, and giving away $26 Million dollars in grants to 85 community organizations just during the first quarter of 2012, would “Not do right thing” when one of their Coca Cola delivery trucks ran into and severely injured an outstanding community leader and mother, Deborah Kropp. Today the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE “Goes Behind The Headlines” in “EVERYTHING DOES NOT GO BETTER WITH COKE”– Deborah Kropp’s Story ….. to examine how John M.

In the event of a custody battle, a father could expect to see little or nothing of his own children. Mothers were almost always granted full custody of children in legal proceedings, and even basic visitation was generally the mother's place to decide. Historically, unmarried fathers have had fewer rights with regard to their children than either unwed mothers or married parents. Over the past several decades, unmarried fathers have challenged the termination of their parental rights under the Fourteenth Amendment in cases in which birth mothers relinquished their children for adoption. In a series of cases involving unmarried fathers, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the constitutional protection of such a father’s parental rights when he has established a substantial relationship with his child. The court found that the existence of a biological link between a child and an unmarried father gives the father the opportunity to establish a substantial relationship, which it defined as the father’s commitment to the responsibilities of parenthood, as demonstrated by being involved or attempting to be involved in the child’s upbringing. And the times are changing for fathers. While many fathers today already know that they do indeed have rights…. most do not know enough about fathers' rights to ensure that they are not on the losing end of the stick. These days, there are options in custodial arrangements which did not exist only a few years ago. Fathers' rights have extended to the point that the court system is in agreement. The idea is for fathers to have as much right to their children as the mothers have to them. Fathers' rights no longer mean fathers settling for little or nothing when it comes to their own children. You do not need to be in the position of your access to your own youngsters being limited to their mother's wishes. Today's interpretation of fathers' rights mean…. you can be a part of your children's lives. The basic...

Scherr, Ptr @ Scherr & Legate, successfully won a $10,000,000 Million Dollar verdict ….the first of its kind in Texas….. against Cooper Tire for defective tires. After an 8 week trial… a Texas jury of everyday citizen found that the Cooper Tire’s manufacturing defect was 100% responsible for multiple passenger deaths in a horrific automobile crash The Trial court’s evidence proved the Cooper tire separated because of contamination and adhesion failure. Cooper Tire appealed the case to the 8th Texas Court of Appeals, which reviewed the entire case and evidence AND LOST, affirming the $10 Million dollar jury verdict. The Court of Appeals found the experts were very qualified and that the evidence supported the verdict. Cooper tire appealed the case to the Texas Supreme Court. Oscar’s story is a story of Justice ….as well as a Story of Injustice…. Because when the case was appealed to the Texas Supreme Court….. a 100% Republican/Pro-business court…..

Clay Rush, was a kicker for the Colorado Crush in the Arena Football League (A.F.L.) in 2008 when he sustained a series of hits to the head over several games — hits that were mishandled by a team physician, an employee of HealthONE Clinic Services, Clay had a passion for the game and had had a long and successful history with football and the AFL. He was Kicker of The Year in 2000 & 2003 and All Arena First Team. In 2001, he had the league record of 110 extra points made. On April 4, 2008 Clay sustained his first concussion while playing at the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO against the Los Angeles Avengers. Clay felt dazed and unbalanced but was able to finish the game. He played the next game on April 11, 2008 against the Cleveland Gladiators. On April 19, 2008, he played against the Kansas City Brigade and he was hit again suffering his second concussion in two weeks. Clay does not remember what happened immediately after the hit and may have blacked out. It was not until April 21, 2008 that Clay saw the team physician, who briefly evaluated him and instructed him to take Tylenol and rest as needed. Clay rested during the week and never physically exerted himself. He continued to experience post-concussion symptoms, such as nausea, dizziness, insomnia, lightheadedness, and blurred vision. The team physician cleared Clay to play in the April 25, 2008 game in Denver against the Chicago Rush, without performing a follow-up evaluation or testing. However, Clay was never advised of the symptoms to look for or made aware of the risk of returning to play too soon following a concussion. The team physician did not follow any of the medical standards for clearing Clay to play, following a concussion, including making sure that...

FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes, and constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against women. It is nearly always…. carried out on minors and is a violation of the rights of children. The practice also violates a person's rights to health, security and physical integrity, the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and the right to life when the procedure results in death. FGM has no health benefits, and it harms girls and women in many ways. It involves removing and damaging healthy and normal female genital tissue, and interferes with the natural functions of girls' and women's bodies. Every year, over three million women and girls face the risk of genital mutilation and cutting. The practice has serious immediate and long-term health effects, and it is a clear violation of fundamental human rights. Worldwide, 100–140 million females have already undergone FGM. It has become a global problem requiring immediate and targeted solutions. United Nations, International and Human rights organizations together are supporting communities to put an end to FGM. Through partnerships with governments, civil society organizations, religious leaders and community groups, they are making real progress. In three years, more than 8,000 communities across Africa and the Middle East have abandoned the practice. Social norms and cultural practices are changing, and communities are uniting to protect the rights of girls and women.

Smoking does not cause mesothelioma. Throughout the 20th century, millions of tons of asbestos were mined in our country and put in thousands of products. Asbestos was very inexpensive and was used as filler in many different products. For example, asbestos was used in cements, drywall muds, brake and clutch linings, roof shingles, gaskets, flooring products, paints, textiles and insulation. The companies that used asbestos knew as early as 1925 that asbestos was dangerous to the workers, to their families, and to the public. The companies commissioned medical studies that revealed these dangers. But these same companies chose profits over safety and hid these studies. They provided no warnings about the dangers. And as a result, thousands of Americans have been killed by asbestos. Sadly, in the United States, asbestos use increased dramatically as other properties of asbestos were recognized. For example, asbestos was used as filler in many plastics and adhesives (glues) on tiles. Asbestos was used in paper production in order to obtain a higher grade of paper with a lower grade of pulp. Immediately before and after World War II, brakes, clutches, building plasters, cements, shingles, insulation, drywall joint compounds and textured paints commonly contained asbestos. In the United States, in 1917, Dr. Henry K. Pancoast, of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, observed lung scarring in the X-rays of fifteen asbestos-factory workers. In 1918, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published a report by an insurance statistician noting the unusually early deaths of asbestos workers and revealing that it had become common practice for insurers to deny coverage for workers because of the "assumed health-injurious conditions" in the asbestos industry By the 1930s, asbestos manufacturers and their insurance...

Despite recent reductions, annual costs to society from motor vehicle crashes remain at more than $230 billion. And most of these costs are borne by states through Medicaid and other state medical charges. As Jackie Gillan, President of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety states, “Our urgent message to state elected leaders …. remains simple and straightforward. Families are paying with their lives and their wallets when common sense and cost-effective laws languish in state legislatures year after year. It is time to close highway safety law gaps and make a down payment on the safety debt that exists in every state by passing laws that save lives, prevent injuries, and score financial wins for constituents.” You can contact the Truck Safety Coalition @ [url=http://www.trucksafety.org/]http://www.trucksafety.org/ [/url] DANGEROUS TRUCK SAFETY Legal News Yes http://www.legalshowtime.com/thumb/1_293.jpg 1545.08 http://www.legalshowtime.com/video/294/Forced-Sterilization-in-America-–-Tessa-Savicki’s-Story http://www.legalshowtime.com/flvideo/294.flv Forced Sterilization in America – Tessa Savicki’s Story Women around the world have many issues that they face and need to overcome. And one of these issues is “Forced sterilization”. Forced sterilization is the process of permanently ending someone’s ability to reproduce. This has occurred around the world, including right here in the United States. The reasons for this atrocity also vary, as does the procedure. Forced sterilizations have occurred all over the world and in huge masses. For example, in Nazi Germany 400,000 men and women were forcibly sterilized. In Sweden 63,000 people, mostly women, were sterilized. Over 800,000 men and women in Japan as well as 11,000 women from Finland were also sterilized without consent. American eugenics refers to compulsory sterilization laws adopted by over 30 states that led to more than 60,000 sterilizations of disabled individuals. American eugenic laws and practices implemented in the first decades of the twentieth century influenced the much larger National Socialist compulsory sterilization program, which between 1934 and 1945 led to approximately 350,000 compulsory sterilizations. America has a long history of embracing the concept of eugenics, the core idea of which was that those who were deemed "unfit" should not be able to have children. The idea of "unfit" was wide-ranging, and included those who were nonwhite (particularly black and indigenous women), those considered morally deficient (prostitutes, alcoholics, and criminals), and those considered physically deficient (people with varying disabilities, including manic-depressives and epileptics) as well as those in poverty (especially the homeless. These atrocities have all happened in the last 50 to 100 years. Tessa Savicki’s Story is much more recent than that… It’s in the 21st century …. 2006…and it’s not in Nazi Germany…it happened right here in the good ole USA.

Riding a motorcycle can be an enjoyable experience…But along with all of the fun also comes the need for increased safety and attention to rider’s surroundings. One of the main reasons are careless drivers that simply do not pay attention to motorcycles on the road. Riding a motorcycle carries with it dangers that don’t exist in cars. Unlike a car, motorcyclists are completely exposed to collision with another vehicle, or any object or the road. Cars outweigh motorcycles by thousands of pounds, which leads to disaster when they collide. The worst danger involved in riding, and probably the most common reason for a motorcycle accident, is that drivers of cars don’t notice the motorcycle rider on the road. Drivers often cut off or rear end motorcycles because they are following too closely. Cars need significantly more room to stop than a light motorcycle, and this often leads to crashes from drivers following too closely. In comparison to drivers and passengers in a car, motorcyclists are 21 times more likely to die in a crash and 4 times more like to be injured. Motorcycles account for less than 2% of registered vehicles in the United States, but weigh in at 85% of all traffic deaths.

Some Prosecutors, Police Officials and Politicians with personal agendas call press conferences to launch inflammatory - and usually false or grossly exaggerated - claims about the importance of a given case, totally ignoring the facts… in a rush to judgment. Examples are legion. In Denver Colorado alone, Civil-rights lawyers suing the city and county of Denver assert the documented “ mistaken-identity arrests "are the tip of the iceberg" and are an undercount of the true magnitude of the problem. More than 500 people were wrongly imprisoned in Denver's jails over seven years, with some spending weeks incarcerated or pleading guilty to crimes they did not commit before authorities realized they nabbed the wrong person. In one case a black man spent nine days in jail after he was arrested on a warrant for a white man wanted on a sex-crimes arrest warrant. In another, authorities arrested an 18- year-old boy…. when they were searching for a man 30 years older. A white man was hauled in….. even when the suspect actually was an American Indian who was nearly a foot taller and 100 pounds heavier. He wasn't released until almost a month had passed and not until the victim of the crime alerted authorities at a court hearing that they had the wrong man.

In an almost classic Shakespearean "Tragic Comedy of Errors", a medical misdiagnosis of a "skull fracture" by a Colorado radiologist of little 28 day old Abraham Giday resulted in Abraham's removal and placement by Department of Human and Social Services to the foster home of Glenn and Lillian Turner. Six days later, when a pediatric radiologist at The Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado, reviewed Abraham's Head CT… it was determined that the skull fracture was a misdiagnosis But during those critical six days, while Abraham was still under the sole care of the Turners, Abraham vomited… he stopped breathing…. his limbs went limp, and he was unresponsive. Mrs. Turner did not call 911, rather she called her neighbors, who in turn reported to the police that Mrs. Turner even thought that Abraham had died. Mrs. Turner then waited hours before taking Abraham to an urgent care clinic. The physician at the clinic told Mrs. Turner to take Abraham to the nearest emergency room immediately. Mrs. Turner ignored these clear instructions, told DHS that Abraham only needed to go to the emergency room if needed, and then took Abraham to Wal-Mart. When DHS returned Abraham to his parents, they did not advise them that Abraham had been taken to the clinic or that he may need to go to the emergency room. Shortly after DHS left, Abraham began twitching and shaking. Abraham was rushed to Denver Health via ambulance; he suffered ten seizures on the way. He was then transferred to The Children's Hospital where he was diagnosed with a severe traumatic brain injury caused by non-accidental trauma ("NAT"), In other words, shaking or slamming.
