Ask a Lawyer: Domestic Violence Accusation Necessitates Defense Attorney
My husband and I were coming out of a bar around 1 am and we were goofing off. I playfully pushed my husband as we were walking to our car. A police officer, waiting outside the bar, noticed our interaction and proceeded to arrest me for domestic violence.

Reputed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and five other men held in isolation as co-conspirators in the Sept. 11 attacks now have been assigned military lawyers to defend them, even if some lawyers have not yet met their clients. All that awaits is a decision by the Pentagon's political appointee for military commissions, Susan Crawford, known as as the convening authority, on when to go forward. And that could come as soon as Monday. |
Judges deny attempts to toss out results
After seven hours of testimony, nine defense exhibits and more than 100 prosecution exhibits, six Collier County judges have dealt a blow to defense attempts to throw out alcohol breath test results.

"In order to avoid the attrition of public confidence in the criminal justice system, it would seem that the state would prefer to have all aspects of the machines available for public disclosure and review," the six judges wrote in a four-page opinion. "The court notes that at some point, the lack of disclosure may raise due process concerns. |
