RE: Why is John L. Long, contractor, charged with a Misdemeanor instead of Felony for his Charges of Theft By Deception stealing the $1,500.00 down payment from Japheth Abraham, Jr. for Patio renovation he signed a contract on July 14, 2017 but didn't show up to do the work. Dear Honorable Solicitor General Loggins, I need your assistance to make the case against John L. Long a Felony instead of a Misdemeanor. I received the letter from my Victim Advocate, Ms. Shanna Biles with her answers to the questions I'd submitted to her in a letter. I appreciated the thoroughness of the answers she provided, which improved my understanding of the court's process and the possible outcomes. However, in her letter she stated the Misdemeanor Court would try this case. …show more content…
Biles and stated I thought I had met the criteria for this to be a Felony Case and cited the four reasons below and asked who makes the decision if the charge will be a Misdemeanor or a Felony? Ms. Biles said she would call me back and if I didn't hear from her for me to call her, which I did twice the week of 19th thru 23rd of March 2018 each time I left messages on her answering service, I haven't received a reply. (1) The amount of money stolen was above 500.00. (2) The circumstances involved renovations to my home. (3) I had a contract for this work to be accomplished, signed between John L. Long and myself. (4) I have a photostatic copy of the down payment check for $1,500.00 cashed by John L. Long with his signature and fingerprint provided to me by Bank of America. I understand often a lay person like myself interpretation of a law is not correct. I read Georgia Senate House Bill 78 passed March 26, 2013 online at http://senatepress.net/bill-protecting-against-elder-abuse-passes-senate.html and my take away was a Crime Against the Elderly is a Felony. I was 70 years old when John L. Long and I signed that

The victim, John Kondejewski, a sergeant in the military as well as battle school instructor, was killed on May 15th, 1997 in Brandon Manitoba by the defendant, his wife, Kimberley Kondejewski, in the bedroom of their home (Sheehy 88). The couple was married for over 17 years before the proceeding occurred. Kimberly shot her husband three times that Thursday night; first shot to the chest, second and third shot were closer range, which led the police to charge her with first-degree murder (Sheehy 115). However, she also tried to end her life, fortunately she was only wounded. She even had composed a suicide note addressed to their children, Jennifer and Christopher. The judge assigned to the case was Justice Rodney H
Analysis / Ruling of the Court. The district court granted the employer’s motion for summary judgement on the sexual harassment claim due to the fact that Sherry Lynch treated both men and women equally in this case; that is, she behaved in the same vulgar and inappropriate way towards both genders. For this reason, Smith’s gender was not a contributing factor to the harassment, which is one of the conditions that would have to be met for the sexual harassment claim. The appellate court agreed and affirmed the district court’s judgement. The district court ended up excluding evidence pertaining to the sexual harassment claim because the sexual harassment claim had been dismissed on summary judgement, and because the court decided that the details of the harassment bore little relevance to the retaliation case whereas this evidence would be unfairly prejudicial to Hy-Vee. The appellate court affirmed the district court’s judgement. Smith did not offer any specifics on what evidence she would have wanted to present, which made it hard for the court to determine whether this evidence was material to the retaliation case or not. In her opposition to the motion in limine, she said she only wanted to discuss the harassment case in general, including mentioning that Lynch had harassed/touched her inappropriately. Hy-Vee had no objection to this, and Smith got to present this much evidence in the trial. Therefore, the appellate court found that she waived any objection to the

This is a complex case, involving multiple parties and several variables that need to be examined thoroughly. The parties mentioned include Knarles operator of the facility maintenance company, his son Barkley, their employee, a licensed plumber, and Mr. Chetum. Although in the end Chetum is suing the facilities maintenance firm for a breach of contract, all factors must be examined to determine proper fault.
One tragic decision in October of 2012 changed the lives of 5 young men forever. One of these young men, Danzele Johnson, lost his life that day; the other four have been convicted of his murder. These young men were committing a felony at the time of his death and they are being held accountable for his death under the felony murder rule. The charge carries lengthy sentences for all four men, between 45 and 55 years. In the words of Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hill, “If you start a fire your responsible for all it burns, even if it burns you...and that's the basis of felony murder,"(Yuill). The reasoning behind charging the young men with felony murder is sound, if they had not been committing the felony, the death would not have occurred. The Elkhart four are now serving the severe sentences they deserve under the felony murder rule.
Name of the Case: Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, 470 U.S. 532, 1985. 2. Facts: In 1979, the Cleveland Board of Education hired James Loudermill as a security guard. Loudermill had stated on his job application that he had never been convicted of a felony. While conducting an examination of Loudermill’s employment records approximately eleven months later, the Board of Education discovered that he had actually been convicted of grand larceny, a felony, in 1968. The Board of Education’s business manager sent Loudermill a letter informing him that he had been dismissed due to dishonesty on his original job application. Loudermill was never given a chance to challenge the charge of dishonesty or his termination. As a “classified civil servant” under Ohio state law he could only be

Laws are created to protect and prevent unacceptable actions from happening. As the awareness of abuse became apparent to advocate groups there was a push toward the creation of legislation. The first initial movement toward incorporating elder care in legislation was in the 1960s with the Older Americans Act. The Older Americans Act assigned guardianship or institutionalization to cases of abuse. This trend continued into the 1970s with the creation of Adult Protective Services. The Adult Protective Services was created through the Social Security Act to protect adults 18 or older who suffer from abuse, neglect, or exploitation through funding for welfare programs. Just three years into the new millenium the Elder Justice Act was introduced. In 2010, the Elder Justice Act was made into a law and began receiving funding from the federal government as part of President Obama’s health care reform bill.

Having elderly in prison does not only affect the prisoner. It also affects the budget for the state. In my opinion, elderly should not be in prison after a specific age. After you have completed a certain time of punishment, you should be released. Hill, Stella and Parker should be individuals who have already completed a valid sentenced and should be considered according to their mental problems and disabilities. Today, many elderly are in prison and have problems taking care of themselves. Meanwhile, the state has to pay extra money for any problem a prisoner might have especially if it’s an

I responded to Camp Butter and Egg in reference to a juvenile complaint. Upon arrival, I made contact with the juvenile and asked her what her name was and she said, " I'm not giving it to you." I then asked again and she yelled, "NO." She was then detained and placed in a chair. I then asked her again and she identified herself as Lara Leah Farmer. She advised that she have ADHD and she bipolar. Farmer advised that the worker mispronouced her name and she got mad. I then made contact with the folling victims: Bonnie West, Samantha Uhler and Sharlene Scribner.
