		<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>
