		<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[If I have receipts for land that say "paid in full" can court order seller to turn over deeds to buyer? Originally my husband and I entered in to verbal agreement to purchase 10 lots from this individual, we have paid for 5 lots in full and paid last years taxes on all 10 lots have receipt stating so signed by the seller. There is no written contract stating a specific date by which all ten lots had to be paid for. Wouldn't these events look suspicious enough to any judge and the out come be in my favor if in fact I have to go through legal system to obtain deeds for property I have paid for &#038; be allowed to purchase the remaining lots?]]></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>

He was served a protective order for 72 hours for a "cooling off period" and he violated this by coming back to get clothes.

		<description><![CDATA[What are the legal implications of taking care of a 9 year old girl while her mother battles cancer? I am the girl's teacher and her mother has written a letter saying she trusts me to watch her daughter until she is well enough to take care of her again.  This way her daughter will not miss school and does not have to leave the state to go with her relatives during this time. Should I get the letter notarized?]]></description>
