Press conference today at 3:00 pm.

If he was convicted of a felony, he will never be able to own guns legally. That doesn’t stop the majority of criminals though. Very rare to have gun rights restored to a felon.

I am a woman and carry a gun all of the time, every where I go. He would have never made it past my car door. If weapons are not your thing, at least take self defense classes. Learn how to get out of these situations. You’ll be surprised how empowered you feel.

I’m wondering if her dad being a prominent diplomat had something to do with this. Because he was charged with kidnapping at this point, it makes me believe there was a ransom or some other personal gain for this idiot. I pray they find her alive. MO

Does anyone know the time frame from when she was abducted to him returning her car to Walmart?

I totally disagree with your post. That is a very broad statement you made. You say they couldn’t care less? What about the officer giving CPR to the man that has a heart attack on the street or an officer giving mouth to mouth on a newborn baby trying to get her to breathe? Or maybe the...

LE may have had permission to take the van without a warrant. But they don’t necessarily always need a warrant. There's an automobile exception to the warrant requirement that the Supreme Court recognizes, under the reasoning that cars are mobile and you don't have time to get a warrant. But...

It will be up to G’s parents since the van was in her (Gabby’s) name.

In general, as long as the prospective client is seeking legal advice or representation and believes the communication will be confidential, the consultation is privileged. This is even if the would-be client never pays or hires the attorney. MO

The American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct states that a lawyer “shall not knowingly make a false statement of material fact.” In other words, lawyers aren’t supposed to lie--and they can be disciplined or even disbarred for doing so. But notice, the key word here is...

No, they don’t. Especially if they are working on the case. MO

It is that way for most people but that’s not the type of attorney/client relationship we have. I do not pay her upfront. She does her job and I pay her or she says, don’t worry about it.

I have had my same attorney for 30 years. Even though I don’t pay a retainer fee anymore, it’s just kind of an unspoken thing that she is my attorney and when I need her again, she’ll be there.

The L’s had to have known what was going on because they called SB and told them the police were at their house. Before B left. I am assuming SB called NPPD to find out why and they told him what was going on. MO

I would be so disappointed if they plead the 5th in their depositions if this ever goes to trial. To me, it would just smack of criminal liability even though it is their right. I can’t wait to see how this plays out.

The Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate yourself is not restricted only to cases where you are under indictment or actively being prosecuted for a crime. In 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on a case called McCarthy v. Arndstein. Among other holdings, the court ruled: “The constitutional...
