If this isn’t a reason to test all lawyers for psychopathy right now, I don’t know what is
An investigator from an international corruption prevention NGO poses as a representative of a politician from a West African nation.
All but one of 14 lawyers were interested in helping the representative engage in laundering dirty money in the US.
Every lawyer should know of the “Corrupt Foreign Practices” act.
Global Witnesses is the organization. Hurray for them.

And in the absolute worst vein of fleecing the elderly news comes news from a woman in a coffin in Germany:
A 92-year-old German woman nearly scared an undertaker to death on Monday. The funeral director passed out from shock when the woman opened her coffin and asked, “Where am I?”
The lady was pronounced dead at a retirement home only a few hours earlier and was transported to the funeral home in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Metro reports. She was taken to the Munstermann funeral parlor.
The woman’s emergence from her coffin shocked the funeral director, who passed out. When he awoke, he called an ambulance to tend to the woman. She was taken to the hospital and her family was told that she was still alive. However, she became extremely sick and died on Monday afternoon.
Police are investigating why she was prematurely pronounced dead.

I have heard from soooo many new clients that their cases involve corruption, but it’s in family court and due mostly to the vendors and court appointed attorneys.
One lawyer, Mario Jiminez is working to alleviate these problems, so here is my wish list for family court:
Dear Mario;
I really think what we need is for all the jurisdictions to 1) use a 50/50 coparenting agreement enacted by the legislature; 2) to use a 50/50 division of assets agreement enacted by the legislature; and 3) 50/50 parenting shall be implemented unless one parent is a felon or psychopath (either party can demand testing–brain scan only, please) or there is sexual abuse allegations ; 4) one parent pays child support and the other… |

The US dept of justice has announced the following
http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-files-brief-address-criminalization-homelessness
The Department of Justice filed a statement of interest today arguing that making it a crime for people who are homeless to sleep in public places, when there is insufficient shelter space in a city, unconstitutionally punishes them for being homeless. The statement of interest was filed in federal district court in Idaho in Bell v. City of Boise et al., a case brought by homeless plaintiffs who were convicted under Boise ordinances that criminalize sleeping or camping in public.
As stated by the Justice Department in its filing, “[i]t should be uncontroversial that punishing conduct that is a universal and unavoidable consequence of being human violates the Eighth Amendment. . . Sleeping is a life-sustaining activity—i.e., it must occur at some time in some place. If a…

PHILLIPSBURG—A Phillipsburg mother has won the right to sue state employees who charged her with child abuse after her husband allegedly stabbed her and kidnapped their child.
Michelle Mammaro, 29, continues to “seek justice in her case against” the state child services workers and police who “pursued her as a child abuser,” her attorney said today.
The Federal District Court in Trenton ruled that these state employees are not immune from suit for conduct in violation of the constitution rights of parents, and Mammaro has won the right to sue department heads and individual employees of the state Department of Children & Families, its Division of Child Protection and Permanency (then the Division of Youth and Family Services, DYFS) and the Watchung Police Department, Kenneth Rosellini of Clifton said in a press release.
Now this is only a lower court decision, so it is not citable precedence, but you…

It is my impression that the 60 minutes report was a diversion. Every time that the FBI or the IRS gets a handle on a particular money laundering scheme, the bad guys modify it so as to continue their bad ways. Professionals like lawyers have a tendency to have huge blind spots that prevent them from seeking the broad picture and deal with the more sophisticated criminal schemes. Law Enforcement people on the other hand are trained to look for the perverse and the pieces of puzzle that build the puzzle. The GAO reports to congress, to wit: |
