What are the penalties for public indecency due to urination?
I want to know what the penalty is for a conviction of Public Indecency for the purpose of urination. I got a ticket for it and I just want to know if I will have to pay a fine or if it would leave me with a criminal record that would exclude me from practicing law. What is the worst that could happen if I plead guilty. This was my first offense and I have a clean record.
Do I have a right through the courts to receive my daughters medical records for a civil case?
I was in the midst of a divorce while on active duty in the Army. My now ex-wife quit her job applied for loans in my name using a fake power of attorney. She then went to the state police in May 07 (five months after I filed for a divorce) and said I was an alcoholic and I touched my daughters breast in Jan 07. My daughter has a learning disability and a problem with her memory. She frequently talks to herself. She can easily be coerced by her mother into saying anything especially if she promises to buy her a gift. I was of course not allowed to see my son or daughter because of these allegations. My ex-wife is very manipulative. My daughter told the story to several different agencies and so did my ex-wife. Each time the story changed. The story told to the grand jury was not the same story told to the lcsw, detective, nor the caseworker. Unfortunately, I had an attorney that somewhat admitted he did not know what he was doing until after he took all of my money. I ended up pleaded to a misdemeanor with no jail time no probation. I only had to pay a fine. The Asst DA knew they did not have a case but also knew I could not afford to continue with this case since I moved to Georgia . The Military allowed me to retire because they knew I was innocent. I just found out today that my daughter went to see a psychiatrist on several occasions and his findings were never talked about or brought before the grand jury. My attorney said he could do nothing about getting those records admitted as evidence to prove my innocence. I am finding out now that he was not telling the truth. I tried to have my ex-wife arrested for Identity Theft which would have been a class D felony. I have the police report and the evidence. The Asst District Attorney intercepted the arrest according to the Police SGT in Watertown NY and said it was considered a civil matter. New York Law does not state Identity Theft excludes spouses or relatives. The Assist District Attorney and Child Protective Services clearly made a mistake and tried to cover it up. In addition to that, my ex-wife finally left my house in which the judge awarded me (took 15 months)with our children after I filed an eviction notice. The case worker claims he made frequent visits. I have pictures of at least a year or more worth of garbage throughout the house. There were bags of human feces, liquor bottles, and beer cans everywhere. There is no way CPS visited my house. The odor was overwhelming. My sister called the state police and he said there wasn't anything he could to do because they moved. The case worker stated if they were smaller children, CPS would removed them from their mothers custody. My son is 16 and my daughter is 12 with a severe learning disability. It was clear they did not have water in the home for months. My children are stuck with her. I want to sue CPS for not visiting my home checking on my children's' welfare as well as defaming my name. They purposely did not present the psychiatrist report for a reason. Do I have a right to file through the courts to receive my daughters medical records in a civil case? Also, I would like to sue my ex for identity theft and forgery. There is so much more to this case. I cannot begin to tell it all.</p><p> The bottom line...the Asst DA, CPS, and my Attorney all of course know one another and worked together to sweep this case under the rug. I feel justice was not served and I am a victim of not having the funds for proper legal representation. The law is suppose to protect everyone and not just the ones who have enough funds for the best attorney. I had to retire from the Army after over 21 years of service and no blemishes on my record because of this. I was on the promotion list and was going to 30 years before I would retire.</p>

Is refusal to seek medical help a case of depraved indifference?
My daughter died from peritonitis & gangrene, a complication a year and a half after a kidney transplant. She begged her husband to take her to the hospital. He refused and left her alone for several hours to suffer gangrene, and die later. Is this a case of depraved indifference? He had signed a form promising due diligence and did not respect that.
