Tucson, Arizona Criminal AttorneysSponsored Links Sponsored Links All Tucson, Arizona Attorneys United States Criminal Defense Attorney NewsLos Angeles lawyers insist on client's releaseBlair Berk and Leonard Levine, defense lawyers in Los Angeles, are arguing for the release of their client, Darren Sharper, who used to play in the National Football League.
Sharper has submitted a not guilty plea to sexually assaulting two women in Los Angeles. However, Sharper remains on indefinite custody with no bail after prosecutors pointed out that he also has an arrest warrant issued by authorities in Louisiana. Sharper's lawyers are insisting on his release because no case has been filed yet pertaining to the Louisiana arrest warrant. NSA employee accused in adopted son's deathBrian Patrick O'Callaghan is facing murder charges after it has been alleged that he had beaten his adopted son which resulted to the 3-year-old's death. O'Callaghan is a former marine and a war veteran who now works for the NSA. The suspicion against O'Callaghan started when police were called to the hospital where the boy was confined. The boy was suffering from brain hemorrhage and fractures in the skull, injuries consistent with beating. O'Callaghan had told police investigators that his wife had gone out of town thus he had been caring for the boy. While under his care, O'Callaghan said the child had hit his shoulder in the shower after falling backwards. The next day, when he went to check on the boy who was napping, he said he noticed mucus coming out of the boy's nose and when he picked him up, the boy started vomiting so he brought him to the hospital. Steven McCool, a defense lawyer in Washington representing O'Callaghan, is insisting on his client's innocence. He said the allegations have no basis and that O'Callaghan is disputing that the child suffered several injuries in the head. $600,000 bail set for man who threatened Seattle mayorNeither the prosecution nor the defense got what they wanted when the judge ordered Mitchell Munro Taylor to remain in jail and set the bail at $600,000. Eric Lindell, the Seattle criminal lawyer defending for Taylor, had asked for a $10,000 bail saying that his client has not been taking his medicines for Asperger's Syndrome. This was countered by the prosecution, who sought a $1 million bail. Lindell was jailed when he posted several threatening messages on Seattle Mayor Ed Murray's Facebook page. He also posted a threat which authorities believed targeted Kshama Sawant, the first socialist to have become a member of the City Council. No bail for man who knocked down a 79YO black manThe bail application of Conrad Barret, who is charged with a hate crime, was denied, something that Barret's lawyer said they have been expecting. Houston criminal attorney George Parnham said that according to the judge, his 27-year-old client might avoid a criminal conviction. He also poses as a danger to the public. Barret was charged after he attacked an old, black man; filmed the act and showed it to someone, who turned out to be an arson investigator. Barrett is looking at more than a 10-year prison term and a fine of more than $200,000 should he get convicted. Man sentenced to prison in domestic violence convictionLashawn Sheldon was meted a sentence of about four years in prison after he was convicted of kidnapping and other domestic crimes.
