		<description><![CDATA[I had just watched the pbs program on "A Crime of Insanity" which talked about the Ralph Tortorici case. I got on the information section of the page and it mentioned the M'Naghten rules. From the site, the rules include things like Defect of Reason, Disease of the Mind, Delusions etc.. But they all seem very very similar to me, so I'm wondering how you would apply the rules to a case - for example the Tortorici case. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The owner was very condescending and argumentative, my son laid out what he knew to be facts. The owner then said "Well I don't care if you buy a trailer or not." At that point, my son lost his tempor, stood up and threw the chair he was sitting on down on the ground. Nothing or anyone was hit; it was dramatic though. At that time the owner came around the desk and proceeded to hit my son about the head and face. His co-worker who had also been present and I tried to pull them apart; at this time both the owner and my son were hitting each other. 

My questions are all related to the levels of crimes involved. One, my son throwing the chair, nothing was broken, no one was anywhere near the direction of the throw, what is this crime called and what would the charge be? Two, the owner attacking my son, he has one 2" laceration in his scalp and knots around his eyes. Is there a legal defense for the owner's actions? Three, should we talk to the police?  if no charges were pressed? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am involved with a woman who's husband has been neglecting for several years. Recently, he became violent and assaulted his wife and I. He is currently on bail with a no contact order, and his actions have been increasingly erratic, especially toward her (bad enough that one occasion the police voluntarily escorted her home). Is it possible, or likely, that the judge will order us to stay apart to remove the fuel from the fire?]]></description>

He was served a protective order for 72 hours for a "cooling off period" and he violated this by coming back to get clothes. Who can I contact to get him out, so we can seek some professional help, like anger management?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do I have rights to regain my paternity and custody rights if my parental rights were wrongly terminated?  My ex-wife said she was very sorry but she wanted me out of the picture. Now she is happy to live with her husband, son and his siblings/two children were born during their marriage/, the boy has a bond with her husband and... in this way I am not wanted because it is not in his interest to have relationships with me. I only want to be a part...no-I want to be a very important part of my son's life. I was told I do not have fair chance for success, the odds are not in my favor and if I file a motion I will lose. Is it true?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ have a friend that got into a car wreck and his best friend died in the accident my friend was the driver. So they tell him he is looking at 3-15 years and a felony homicide and they say he should take the plea bargain they have offered which is no jail time, 5 years probation, and 3 years loss of license. The Father has basically disowned them, but the police report states that the car had very bad breaks and the front 2 brakes has locked up in the time of the accident so they more then likely lost control and the driver went to there father and asked for a loan or there college money top fix the brakes but the father would not let them do it.]]></description>
