Elderly Massachusetts Woman Pleads Guilty to Deadly Hospital Drive-Thru Crash And Gets 18 Months Probation

77-Year-Old Jane Berghold, the woman who accidentally drove her car into Brockton Hospital last October, has been sentenced to 18 months probation and the revocation of her driver’s license for 15 years. Yesterday, the Rockland senior pled guilty in a Massachusetts court to two counts of homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle and one count of negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

Two people died and two others were seriously injured in the fatal drive-thru that occurred when the breast cancer patient's car flew through the front windows of the hospital’s radiation therapy unit. The victims' family members said that given her age and medical condition, they believed Berghold's punishment was appropriate.

Berghold initially told police that she tried to stop the car by stepping on the brakes but it kept moving. She later admitted to the possibility that she may have accidentally stepped on the gas pedal instead. A police probe found that the car sped up to 25 mph before crashing into the hospital.

If you have been arrested for vehicular homicide or any other kind of traffic violation or crime in Massachusetts, you should contact our Boston criminal defense law firm to explore your legal options. There may be evidence that proves that you are not guilty. There may be a way to get the charges or penalties against you dropped or reduced.

The deadly accident involving Berghold, is one of a few serious accidents involving elderly drivers that is raising renewed interest in establishing driving laws directed at senior drivers in Massachusetts. In another recent incident in February, an 8-year-old girl was suffered internal injuries, a fractured skull, and a broken leg when an 86-year-old man accidentally struck her with his SUV in front of her Randolph elementary school.

One bill under consideration would mandate that drivers older than 85 take road and vision tests every five years.

In Massachusetts—unlike many other US states—there are no laws that specifically address elderly drivers.

Massachusetts Man Apprehended After Amber Alert Is Issued Pleads Not Guilty to Kidnapping His Son

In Cambridge District Court last week, Arlington resident Michael Whalen pled not guilty to kidnapping, threats, and receiving stolen property over $250. A statewide Amber Alert had been issued in Massachusetts on Wednesday after Whalen’s six-month-old son Lucas disappeared.

The baby’s disappearance happened after a Massachusetts Probate and Family Court judge awarded custody of Lucas to his aunt, Sheila Boyle, who cited concern over the baby’s well-being as reason for the custody request. When Boyle went to retrieve the baby, he was gone.

A Massachusetts prosecutor said that Michael, 42, had threatened to kill Lucas, shoot five people, and commit suicide if anyone tried to take his son. A SWAT team arrested him on Thursday after his rental car was discovered at a Burlington hotel parking lot. Because the car was overdue, he was charged with receiving stolen property.

Lucas was found with Danielle Boyle, who is the baby’s mother and Michael’s girlfriend. A cab driver took Danielle and Lucas to the Arlington police station because she did not have money to pay for her taxi ride. She has not been charged with committing a crime.

Michael’s lawyer says no one saw baby Lucas with his father after he disappeared. In Massachusetts, a parental kidnapping conviction comes with a maximum sentence of one year in the house of corrections.

According to the DSS, the couple has two other children that were put up for adoption after the parents’ legal rights were terminated.

Michael was ordered held on $25,000 bond. He has 72 prior criminal convictions—many of them for minor traffic violations.

If you have been arrested for any crime in Massachusetts—even if you already have a criminal record—you are entitled to proper legal representation and defense. Our Boston criminal defense law firm is known for providing our clients with aggressive and effective representation.

Massachusetts Man Found Not Guilty of Nearly Biting Friend’s Ear Off

A Winthrop High School assistant football coach has been acquitted of charges that he bit someone’s ear in Massachusetts. Charges included two counts of aggravated assault and battery and mayhem. Had Richard Fucillo been convicted, he could have served up to 20 years in prison.

Fucillo, 46, was accused of biting the ear of George Sennott, who he believed was carrying on an affair with his estranged wife. Fucillo, his wife, and Sennott have known each other since grade school.

The altercation took place on March 2007.

Sennott accused Fucillo of flying into a jealous rage because he believed that Sennott was having an affair with his wife and biting his ear so viciously that it nearly tore off. He needed 150 stitches to repair the damage to is ear.

Police say they saw Fucillo jump out of a car while driving down Washington Street and attacking Sennott. Fucillo’s Massachusetts criminal defense attorney, however, says that Sennott had instigated the fight and started assaulting Fucillo first.

Fucillo claims that he was acting in self-defense. He says he did not bite Sennott’s ear. Forensic experts say the injuries caused to Sennott’s ear were not bite-related. Fucillo says that Sennott may have gotten his ear caught in his jacket zipper during the fight.

The Suffolk Superior Court jury issued its not guilty verdict on Wednesday.

Massachusetts assault charges can lead to serious penalties if you are convicted. A good Boston assault attorney can defend you against the charges or determine whether any charges can be dropped or your sentence reduced. If you have been convicted of a crime, you will need a Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer to file your appeal.

Nantucket, Massachusetts Man Charged With Smuggling

In Boston, Charles A. Manghis, has been charged with multiple counts of smuggling sperm whale teeth and elephant ivory, making false statements to federal agents, and conspiracy.

The 53-year-old Nantucket, Massachusetts resident, also a Ukrainian national, was arrested on Thursday. A federal grand jury indicted Manghis, along with Ukrainian national Andriy Mkhalyov, of allegedly conspiring to smuggle certain items into the United States that violated both federal law and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

The two men allegedly used a middleman in California to bring the items into the United States before sending them to Massachusetts. Manghis, a scrimshaw dealer, is being accused of selling the illegal items on Nantucket and on e-Bay. His employer, Nina Hellman of Nina Hellman Antiques, says she believes the charges against Manghis are unfounded.

Nantucket Police say that that the international smuggling ring also involves countries in Asia and Europe. Manghis faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 maximum fine if he is convicted. He was released on $25,000 bond.

According to Law Enforcement US Fish and Wildlife Service Chief Benito A. Perez, about $10 million in illegal wildlife is seized in the United States every year—barely scratching the “surface of wildlife coming into this country.” The country is a prime market for elephant ivory, ivory carvings, and handicrafts made with claws, fur, feather, claws, and other body parts of species that are protected by law.

Everett Middle School Employee Charged with Child Rape and Indecent Assault and Battery in Massachusetts Pleads Not Guilty

In Massachusetts, Robert J. Shea, a basketball coach and custodian at Everett Middle School has been charged with two counts of rape and three counts of indecent assault and battery involving a 12-year-old boy. He has pled not guilty to the charges.

Shea’s arrest on April 6 and the subsequent charges announced on April 7 came a few days after the boy’s mother reported him to police. Prosecutors claim that Shea sexually abused the boy for six months and the abuse incidents occurred in the 57-year-old’s house and at Everett High School.

Shea, an Everett School Department employee for 25 years and a junior varsity basketball coach for 14 years, has expressed shock at the charges. His Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer says that Shea only acted as the boy’s friend and older brother and that this is the first allegation against him after working around children for years.

Everett schools superintendent Frederick F. Foresteire says that this is not the first time that Shea has been investigated. He was investigated by the Everett Police Department in 2005 and the Department of Social Services in 2003. Both cases were closed without findings. Shea has been suspended from his job until the Everett sex crimes case is resolved.

Child rape is considered a very serious offense. In Massachusetts, a conviction for forcible rape of a child can lead to a lifetime prison sentence. If you have been arrested for sexual assault of a child or an adult, you should contact our Boston sex crimes law firm right away.

The issue of child rape has been in the news headlines lately. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on whether a child rape conviction should lead to the death penalty. The case was brought to the Supreme Court by Patrick Kennedy, a Louisiana man that was sentenced to death after being convicted of raping the 8-year-old daughter of his girlfriend. He is appealing his sentence.

76-Year-Old Revere, Massachusetts Man Pleads Not Guilty To Dealing Prescription Drugs

Richard "Pops" Picardi Sr, a 76-year-old Revere, Massachusetts resident, has pled not guilty to charges that include unlawful distribution of a Class B substance, selling cigarettes without state tax stamps, receiving stolen property, and violating drug laws in a school zone.

A person can be charged with violating drug laws in a school zone if the drug-related crime he or she is accused of committing took place within 100 feet of a playground or park or within 1000 feet of a school or school property. Because so many cities in Massachusetts are well populated, it is very hard for someone not to be within a school zone.

Picardi is accused of dealing prescription drugs from the office of the Square Cab Co. in Chelsea in exchange for cigarettes and money. The company is located within 1,000 feet of Clark Avenue School. His arraignment took place in Chelsea District Court, and he was ordered held on $10,000 bail.

Undercover cops bought OxyContin and other narcotics from Picardi several times in March. One buy involved three OxyContin tablets in exchange for eight packs of cigarettes and $40. He also is accused of selling cigarettes illegally.

Picardi had more than $11,000 on him last week when he was arrested. Law enforcement officers also found almost two full cartons of cigarettes, 74 Roxicet pills, 21 razor packs, and 5 unopened cologne bottles that may have been stolen.

Massachusetts has very strict anti-drug laws and penalties for drug possession, distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking convictions. The best way to defend yourself against drug charges is to contact our Boston drug crimes law firm today for your free consultation.

Detroit Mayor Pleads Not Guilty to Lying Under Oath and Other Felony Charges

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and a former aide have been charged with lying under oath about the nature of their relationship. Last week, Kilpatrick and Kristine Beatty, his former chief of staff, pled not guilty to multiple counts of perjury, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and misconduct in office during their arraignment.

The charges were filed following a nearly two month probe after excerpts of some 14,000 text messages between the two of them were published by the Detroit Free Press. The text messages had either been sent or received by Beatty’s city-issued pager between 2002 and 2003 and included sexually explicit dialogue, plans to meet, and exchanges about ways they could conceal their extramarital affair.

Last year, while under oath, Kilpatrick and Beatty denied having an affair. They had given this testimony during a lawsuit filed by two police officers who had sued the city of Detroit.

The two cops said they were fired from their jobs because they had been investigating claims that Kilpatrick had used his security team to cover up the fact that he had extramarital affairs. Both Kilpatrick and Beatty are married with children.

The city of Detroit settled the charges filed by the two men and a third police officer for $8.4 million. Kilpatrick and Beatty are accused of signing an agreement to keep the text messages confidential and the mayor is accused of agreeing to the settlement to cover up his affair with Beatty.

All of the criminal charges filed against Mayor Kilpatrick are considered felonies in Michigan. He will be fired immediately if he is convicted of a felony. The conviction for perjury alone could result in 15 years in prison.

Michigan Attorney Mike Cok and the Detroit City Council have called on Kilpatrick to step down. He is refusing to do so.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says other people may be charged as the investigation progresses.

In Massachusetts, perjury is considered a serious crime. Under the General Laws of Massachusetts, Chapter 268, Section 1:

Whoever, being lawfully required to depose the truth in a judicial proceeding or in a proceeding in a course of justice, wilfully swears or affirms falsely in a matter material to the issue or point in question, or whoever, being required by law to take an oath or affirmation, wilfully swears or affirms falsely in a matter relative to which such oath or affirmation is required, shall be guilty of perjury. Whoever commits perjury on the trial of an indictment for a capital crime shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life or for any term of years, and whoever commits perjury in any other case shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than twenty years or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment in jail for not more than two and one half years, or by both such fine and imprisonment in jail.

If you have been charged with perjury or any other crime, contact our Boston, Massachusetts criminal defense law firm. We are known for the aggressive, thorough, and creative defenses that we offer our clients.

Former SLA Member Sarah Jane Olson To Fight Decision Sending Her Back to Prison

Five days after her release from prison, former Symbionese Liberation Army member Sarah Jane Olson was rearrested and sent back to prison on Saturday to serve one more year of her sentence. Prison department staff had concluded that a mistake had been made in figuring out when the ex-SLA member was eligible for parole.

Her criminal defense lawyer plans to fight this decision and cites pressure from the Los Angeles police officers' union, rather than a calculation error, as the reason Olson is back behind bars.

California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the police union reject this accusation.

Olson’s real name is Kathleen Soliah. She was paroled on Monday after serving six years of the sentence that she received for pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of Myrna Opsahl while robbing a bank in Carmichael, California in the 1970’s. She also had entered a guilty plea for trying to bomb LAPD cars. She had planted pipe bombs under the car but the devices didn’t go off.

Olson lived as a fugitive for 24 years. She changed her name, got married, and had three children before she was arrested.

A California judge had initially sentenced Olson to five years and four months in prison because of 1975 sentencing laws. The state parole board, however, determined that she was a serious offender and changed her prison sentence to 13 years.

Olson was supposed to serve her parole in Minnesota with her family but was not permitted to board her flight from Los Angeles International Airport. After the error was identified, she was sent back to Chowchilla women’s prison.

According to prison officials, they forgot to add more time for the bank robbery and Carmichael’s murder, which now makes her eligible for parole after seven years instead of six.

In Boston, Massachusetts, our criminal defense law firm is here to protect your legal rights.

'Barbie Bandits' Are Sentenced for Bank Robbery and Drug Possession

Heather Lyn Johnston and Ashley Nicole Miller, the women who were arrested after robbing a Bank of America branch at a Kroger grocery store in Georgia last year, received their sentences today.

Miller, 19, was ordered to serve 2 years of her 10 year prison sentence, while the remainder must be completed as probation. Johnston, 22, was sentenced to 10 years probation.

Johnston and Miller and Benny Herman Allen, 23, had all pleaded guilty to theft by taking. Miller’s boyfriend, Michael Darrell Chastang, was convicted of theft by taking.

The two women, both strippers at the time, and Chastang decided to rob a bank.

0228073bandits1.jpg

The following day, Chastang called the girls with instructions. He told them that he knew a teller at a B of A branch that could act as their “inside man.” The teller was Benny Herman Allen.

Allen told the women what to include on the demand note, which asked for loose bills and included the statements, “Remember, I will not hesitate to kill you. Keep hands where I can see them. Do not pull switch.”

The two women were videotaped committing the bank robbery. They stole 11,000, which was to be divided among the four of them.

The two girls immediately went shopping at Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square mall for clothes and shoes, got their hair done at Carter-Barnes Hair Artisans, and bought a television at a Wal-Mart.

They were arrested two days after the robbery.

Johnson also pled guilty to a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge, while Miller also pled guilty to possession of Ecstasy with intent to distribute.

In Massachusetts, our Boston criminal defense attorneys represent clients arrested or charged with all kinds of theft crimes. We can fight the theft charges against you and work towards the best outcome for your case.

Massachusetts Judge Refuses to Dismiss Hoax Device Possession Charge Against MIT Student

In Massachusetts on Friday, East Boston District Court Judge Paul Mahoney refused to drop the possession of a hoax device charge against Star Simpson, the 19-year-old MIT student who wore a strapped circuit board to her chest and walked into Logan International Airport last year.

Simpson’s trial begins on May 23, and she plans to take the stand. Simpson is expected to say that the week prior to her arrest, she wore the blinking circuit board around campus, which she considered a “piece of art” that she wanted to show off.

On September 21, 2007, she wore the battery-operated light display to the airport and was planning to pick up her boyfriend at Logan’s Terminal C. A number of employees fled the premise because they thought the device was a bomb. State police arrested her at gunpoint.

The Explosive Ordinance Disposal unit examined the device and determined that it was not an explosive.

Other MIT students have said that wearing this kind of device on campus is not uncommon. Called a “breadboard,” it is worn by students that are making something electronic.

Simpson has called herself a student, artist, and engineer.

Her criminal defense team says that the charge violates her freedom of speech and that she never planned on frightening anyone by wearing the blinking circuit.

The General Laws of Massachusetts

Chapter 266: CRIMES AGAINST PROPERTY Section 102A1/2. Possession, transportation, use or placement of hoax devices; penalty; law enforcement or public safety officer exemption

Section 102A1/2. (a) Whoever possesses, transports, uses or places or causes another to knowingly or unknowingly possess, transport, use or place any hoax device or hoax substance with the intent to cause anxiety, unrest, fear or personal discomfort to any person or group of persons shall be punished by imprisonment in a house of correction for not more than two and one-half years or by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than five years or by a fine of not more than $5,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Simpson’s criminal defense attorney had sought to have the charge against her dismissed because he said the statute is too vague. Her case has been continued a number of times.
