Child Pornography Attorney Says Suspect Jailed Till He Provides Password


Passwords and encryption methods may be enough to keep other people out of your computers and mobile devices and far away from your personal files, but once you’ve been accused of a serious crime like possession of child pornography, these safeguards are increasingly causing issues with the government’s desire to access potentially relevant evidence.

As a sex crimes lawyer, I can tell you that the continuous technological advances that allow better security, especially in keeping personal files and documents encrypted on desktop computers and smart phones, arguably make it harder for prosecutors to prove claims against an individual accused of a crime.

Raleigh Divorce Attorney Talks about Johnny Depp facing Domestic Violence Allegations


There’s no doubt that divorces can get messy, but it can get even messier when allegations of domestic violence surface. This is exactly what’s happening in the well-publicized divorce of Hollywood star Johnny Depp and actress Amber Heard, with the latter claiming “years of physical and psychological abuse” while living with her estranged husband.

At this point, it is yet to be proven whether Depp is guilty of the allegations or not. It is not uncommon for such allegations to surface despite any evidence of actual proof. Amid all the speculations and stories, friends, family, and celebrities continue to support each star.

Raleigh DWI Lawyer says Research Shows that Cannabis Consumption Not Enough to Prove Impairment


With many states becoming more lenient and legalizing medical use and even recreational use of cannabis, state lawmakers have been proposing changes to decriminalize its use. One major concern that both proponents and opponents share is the effect of cannabis on driver performance and traffic safety.

Medical experts recognize the cognitive and psychomotor effects of marijuana use, and that such use may present some risk in impairing a driver or deteriorating their driving performance. As a DWI lawyer, I would say the problem that both the scientific community and law enforcement agencies face is accurately measuring marijuana’s impact on a motorist’s driving ability.

Numerous drugs, particularly Schedule I drugs like heroin and LSD, may increase the likelihood that a person will perform dangerous acts, or perhaps even commit a crime. Marijuana is also classified as a Controlled Substance under Schedule I, in the same category as dangerous drugs like heroin and LSD. However,unlike other Schedule I drugs, medical experts find opine that marijuana’s positive medical benefits could lead to marijuana becoming a widely-accepted medicine for a variety of ailments. Unfortunately, medical experts are currently unable to conduct further research because of the substance’s classification.
