What happens after my son's lawyer was dismissed in court?
My sixteen year old son had a felony hearing 04/15/10. Before it was his turn to go in front of the judge, I accidentally overheard my assigned council and the felony D.A. in their meeting before court started. I am hearing with my own ears that my assigned council is not in my sons best interest! She was angry at our family for not following her advice, and told the D.A. to do whatever the D.A. wanted. I was frozen in shock. The D.A. says they want to keep it a felony B, (not reduce the charge to a misdemeanor) then. They leave the room to go into court. I am standing there frozen in shock at what I just over heard. Now they are up before the judge to give their recommendation or whatever is next, and I finally recover my wits, stand up and ask to come forward, tell the judge it has come to my knowledge that my sons lawyer is not acting in his best interest. He then dismisses my lawyer and postpones for one week. The D.A. spoke before closing saying she wants it on record that they want to keep this a felony charge. Now we leave court and I don't know what to do! My son is back at the holding center, I have to get another lawyer (it's Saturday!) and I am not sure what just happened! Did he just lose his chance to have the charge reduced?

Is a swinger party business model legal in Massachusetts?
I have been thinking of opening a swinger party business. I have been looking at other peoples' swinger parties. While looking I found one that was interesting. The owner said that he hired attractive females the ATTEND his parties (and only that). He said whether they had sexual relations or who they had sexual relations with was there choice. He charges all the customers attending the party a flat rate door fee, and that's all he charges them. This fee covers amenities, food, place of event etc. A percentage of the fee is also used to pay the attending ladies. He said he does not encourage or tolerate solicitation for or of prostitution at his parties. Is this operation legal? If I were to adopt this model, could I also rent out beds for a specified time period to the customers and use a portion of the rental fee as part of the payment to the hired ladies. As long as there are no acts of solicitation, are the owner, hire females, and customers safe from prosecution under the pimping, pandering, prostitution laws?
