Ok, so where do the last few blogs, including yesterday’s, leave us? The point is that what you have been raised to believe , and what our political leaders would like you to believe and wonderful theories upon which our system is based do not always translate into reality very…
We have a couple of stories here which relate to each other in terms of a very serious lesson for the readers of this blog. They will take us into next week. First, let’s look at proposed changes in the laws surrounding assault and battery…when the complainant is law enforcement.…
Alexander Nguyen (hereinafter, the Defendant) has been arrested. Monday was his entry date to the criminal justice system. The Defendant faces charges charges of assault and battery causing serious bodily injury, threats to kill, disorderly conduct, and disturbing the peace. It was a “road rage” event.
