Extractions: Incompetents, sexist bigots and scoundrels abound! QUESTION: How did Ontario Chief Justice Roy McMurtry go from being Attorney General of Ontario ( the person who essentially appoints judges) to being Chief Justice? He had no experience as a judge. Did he annoint himself? Shouldn't we have experienced judges in such an important post? COMPLAINING ABOUT JUDGES The Canadian Judicial Council is supposed to deal with complaints about judges. It is unfortunately a do nothing organization which is run by judges for judges. In the entire history of Canada less then ten judges have been removed for cause. As always, if you have a valid complaint, you should still try to get a fair hearing. You will not, but you should still try.
On The Hill - Moving Ideas Juvenile justice systems can provide teens with programs such as treatment, therapy, In addition to moving children into the federal adult court system, http://www.movingideas.org/content/en/on_the_hill/gangs.htm
Extractions: Update 7/29/05: The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to mark-up S. 155 , their version of the Gangs Bill in September. The Senate bill, co-sponsored by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT), does not include the mandatory minimum sentencing provisions in the House bill and includes two-thirds more funding for anti-gang initiatives. The House passed legislation on May 11 by a vote of that would result in more children being prosecuted as adults in the federal criminal justice system, the expansion of the death penalty, and the imposition of mandatory minimums for gang related crimes. Advocates are concerned that the inflexibility of the bill, H.R. 1279 , would prevent the use of programs designed to reduce recidivism and result in more crime and violence instead of less. The House Judiciary Committee rejected a bill similar to S. 155 as a substitute to H.R. 1279. The bill will likely be decided in a conference committee. The House Gang Deterrence and Community Protection Act would move more gang-related crimes into the federal system and prosecute more children as adults. Besides it being unfair to hold a child to adult standards, this bill runs counter to research demonstrating that the juvenile justice systems in the states are uniquely equipped to deal with the special needs of teen offenders.

Declining to discuss the particulars of Davids case, Chapman said ORS 166.065 defines physical harassment as "offensive physical touching." That includes such adolescent assaults as "wet-willies," "wedgies," "swirlies," "noogies," Davids "titty-twister" and all other forms of adolescent "Three Stooges" behavior, Chapman said. Advertisement "Offensiveness is going to be judged by the person" on the receiving end, he said.

So David counterattacked with the "titty-twister," which Matthew said came unprovoked. "Its a thing of camaraderie," David said.

Extractions: 941/955-TEEN or 941/951-4278 A few months ago, I heard about TEEN COURT. I recently read the description on the DJJ website. This was never offered to my son, although it appears he should have been considered for this over a year ago. His original charge in March 2000 (at age 15) was battery; then truancy then he dropped out of school at age 16 (honors student!) without parental consent or signature; then marijuana possession. We have been swimming in the slime of the system for over a year now. My frustration, as well as being enlightened by the frustration of many other parents, is what led me to start a website: www.justice4kids.org . My goal is to help guide other parents through the tangled web of juvenile "justice"; to figure out resources that actually work, not just resources that "exist". Who gets recommended for teen court? What is the referral process? The [Teen Court] website states: Referrals come from various sources, depending on the individual Teen Court program. They can include:

The Sasser worm didnât require users to receive an email or open a file to be infected just having a vulnerable Windows machine connected to the Internet was enough.

Extractions: Dan Montgomery October 26, 2004 There are people in Oregon prisons because the voices told them to do it, but they were not really schizophrenic voices. The voices could be explained by the criminal misuse of a subliminal activation system. People can be programmed with subliminal training messages to commit crimes. Hidden perpetration of crimes with subliminal training is not detected with ordinary psychological screening. The electronic system causes organic impairment of the brain. Evidence of such impairment can be found in Kip Kinkel and Ray Perkins. They were programmed to kill. The electromagnetic assault of a subliminal training system causes a particular set of neurological impairments, like a signature. Areas of of the brain that process auditory and visual perception are overloaded by chronic subliminal activation. This results in poor spelling and visual retention. The coordination of one hand is impaired. If this is the dominant hand, then handwriting will be impaired. The prefrontal lobe, the area that chooses between self-motivation and external input, is impaired by the electronic thought control system. Persistent and hidden electronic coercion interferes with emotional development. Kinkel was three years behind at age 15. Perkins was four years behind at age 14. The chronic distortion of perception and the social isolation that are imposed by the subliminal training may lead to poor reality testing.

Juvenile Diversion Programs teen court is financed through a surcharge on criminal court cases. time juvenile misdemeanor offenders from the juvenile criminal justice system. http://www.keysso.net/commrelations/juvenileprograms/juvenile_diversion.htm
Extractions: The Monroe County Sheriffs Office assumed responsibility for three important juvenile crime prevention programs in January of 2001. Sheriff Roth believes in juvenile intervention programs because he feels we must become involved immediately with youthful offenders to help prevent further delinquent behavior and to prevent youthful offenders from becoming adult offenders. The intervention programs are Intensive Delinquency Diversion Service or IDDS; the Civil Citation program, and Teen Court. IDDS is financed through a contract with the Department of Juvenile Justice that provides 43 slots for juvenile offenders overseen by three highly trained case workers. Teen Court is financed through a surcharge on criminal court cases. The program is operated by one full and one part-time case worker. The Civil Citation program is funded through a state grant that provides a part time case worker. Intensive Delinquency Diversion Service (IDDS) The target population includes all male and female youth under 18 years of age with a focus upon youth 16 yrs. old and younger. These youth are referred to the Department of Juvenile Justice for delinquent behavior that if committed by an adult would be criminal acts. These youth are at high risk of becoming serious or chronic offenders. The counseling program strives to facilitate positive changes in the youths behavior and a change in direction away from the delinquent mind-set.

Adolescent Substance Abuse Program Drug Court Court Appointed Special Advocate Program Teen Court ... Senior Aide Program The Adolescent Substance Abuse Program is a collaborative effort between the UAB Department of Psychiatry, Substance Abuse Programs and the Jefferson County Family Court. The purpose of ASAP is to provide substance abuse screening and "triage" for all juveniles placed under the supervision of the Court. A positive drug screen (either upon admission into the program or in the Juvenile Detention Center), a drug related crime and/or admission of recent use will result in program placement. All participants are placed on random urinalysis and then assigned the program component most appropriate for their level of involvement (prevention/education, outpatient treatment, or inpatient treatment). The philosophy of ASAP is that the least intrusive intervention should be employed. Working closely with ASAP are UAB Drug Free (outpatient drug treatment); Drug Court (intensive judicial supervision for drug offenders, and those who are not motivated to complete ASAP) and UAB/SAP Prevention. Additional programs utilized outside the UAB system include the START Program in Jasper (female residential) and The Bridge in Gadsden (male residential). While there is a minimum of three months required for completion, program participation is open-ended because many of those enrolled move among program components.
