BARNSTBALE, MA Joshua Debonise was ready today to admit his role in the firebombing of a Hyannis home. But the 21-year-old was not ready to be labeled a snitch, his lawyer, Richard Barry, said during a plea hearing in Barnstable Superior Court. So the plea deal fell apart. Shortly before 3 am on April 3, 2008, a Molotov cocktail crashed through the window of a home on Hiramar Road starting a fire in a bedroom where children were sleeping. A total of seven people were inside the house at the time. They all managed to escape the blaze unharmed. In addition to Debonise, a Mashpee resident, four other people Jose Reyes, Andrew Nickerson, Victor Mason and Tiffany Mason are charged in the incident, according to court records. Before signing away his rights, Debonise waited for the courts assurance that a statement he gave to police about the events of that morning would be thrown out. He wanted to make sure that when and if he did go to jail, he would not be construed as a snitch, Barry told Judge Gary Nickerson, who agreed to suppress the statement if Debonise pleaded guilty. But the deal was never carried out. After agreeing to change his plea to guilty on each of the charges against him, including seven counts of armed assault with the intent to murder and arson of a dwelling house, Debonise listened to the facts of the case. Around 11 pm on April 2, a fight took place at 50 Hiramar Road between a resident of the house and four males, Assistant District Attorney Sharon …

There’s this guy that got in trouble with the FBI. The FBI came to his house one day unannounced and confiscated his computer, phone and photographs. Supposedly it is because he was downloading pornography involving minors and beastiality but he had to go to Federal Court a couple weeks ago and for whatever he did he was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in Federal Prison for which they have to ship him out of the state of Ohio to another state to do his time. He is free right now but has to report in 2 weeks to do his time. So whatever he did must not have been bad enough for them to keep him locked up until he goes to prison but I don’t see getting that much time for downloading porn even if it was illegal. Plus it’s his first offense…he has no prior records. He won’t tell any details to anyone.

I want to know if I can feel comfortable around this guy or if I need to watch over my shoulder so I am trying to find somewhere on the internet to view federal court public records but am having no luck what so ever. I know how to view public records dealing with municipal courts but can’t find anything dealing with federal. If anyone has any information please let me know.

Starting in July, Palm Beach County is establishing a new boating safety zone. This new boating safety zone, located along Northern Palm Beach County’s portion of the Intracoastal Waterway, is the latest effort by the county to reduce the area’s rising boating injury rate. The boating safety zone’s second phase will commence in early August.

The first phase of the new boating safety zone begins 300 feet north of the Donald Ross Road Bridge and extends south of the Parker Bridge, ending where the Intracoastal Waterway meets the Lake Worth lagoon. The second phase of the zone aims to cover the remainder of the Intracoastal Waterway located in Palm Beach County.

The new boating safety zone requires that all boats abide by a slower speed with no wake. This means that boats are to operate fully off plane and stay totally settled in the water. An integral part of the of the safety zone launch is the placement of new signage explaining the new laws and the areas affected by them. Many no-wake zones are installed to prevent damage to the surrounding docks or boats, but Palm Beach County’s new zone is being implemented to prevent injury.

The Palm Beach Post interviewed a local official, Captain David Schaeffer, and he had this to say regarding the new boating safety zone, “When we analyzed boating accident data for this area, it became clear that slowing down boats through this stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway will better protect the public,” Captain David Schaeffer said. “It is imperative that boat operators understand what slow speed, minimum wake means and comply with the restriction.”

The state of Florida has seen a rise in boating related injuries since 2007 and boating related fatalities since 2008, according to a report issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The FWC report shows 426 boating injuries occurring in 2009, up from 386 injuries in 2008. The ten most common types of boating injuries for 2009 according the FWC’s report are (in order from most to least recorded incidents of): Broken bones, Lacerations, Head injuries, Contusions, Head injuries, Internal Injuries, Back injuries, Sprains, Burns, and Spinal injuries.

While this may not seem like a huge increase, the fact that the FWC reported thousands fewer registered vessels in 2009, makes the percentage of injuries per boat even greater. 2009′s injury number correlates to an injury rate of 43, compared to 2008′s injury rate of 38, and 2007′s injury rate of 37. The FWC defines the injury rate as the “number of injuries per 100,000 recreational registered vessels.”

According to a Palm Beach personal injury attorney, while this rise in boating injuries is not a direct reflection of Palm Beach County, many of his boating cases stem from accidents along this particular stretch of waterway. There is also some local speculation that this new boating safety zone is being installed because of a boating accident involving a local Sheriff.

2. Palm Springs Business – Put everything in writing and preferably with our help or the help of another good Palm Springs business lawyer. Spend money only as you need to. A Palm Springs business attorney can tell you where to save costs and how to do it without risking liability. Limit your promises to employees and to customers. Buy insurance. Protect your intellectual property at the outset. Don’t disclose your inventions or any trade secrets to anyone without a non-disclosure agreement. Incorporate as soon as you are profitable. Get legal advice for problems or indications of pending lawsuits immediately. Keep all costs, including labor costs, to the bare minimum. Always use confidentiality agreements when disclosing valuable information and be careful what information you agree to receive. Tell customers they must pay in advance or on delivery. Do not agree to bill and be paid at a date after delivery. Otherwise you won’t be paid on a percentage of your products. Be wary of the potential for fraud by customers, business partners and employees.

 

3. Residential and Commercial Real Estate, Landlord Tenant Law, Mortgage Law and Homeowners Association Law in Palm Springs – Use a Palm Springs real estate lawyer who is also a Realtor, or a Realtor who is also a Palm Springs real estate attorney. Don’t buy or lease more than you need. Choose the right location. Choose the right mortgage. Don’t refinance if you think you may need to walk away from a home. Don’t buy more than you can afford. Check out the neighborhood carefully. Get a home inspection and a home warranty. Have a Palm Springs real estate lawyer look over the documents. Homeowner Associations are facing a host of problems stemming from the number of foreclosures. As fees are reduced by vacant homes and condos, projects must be trimmed back or delayed in order to save money. Some homeowner associations, who were already in trouble, may face additional problems in the future and both homeowners and their associations should consult with legal counsel to help resolve how to deal with such issues.

 

4. Construction in Palm Springs – With the construction industry in it’s biggest ever slump, down more than 90% from its peak in many areas, Palm Springs contractors need to shift their focus to energy free homes, apartment construction and to take advantage of contracts likely to be offered for bid under the new administration’s plan to create new jobs rebuilding the country’s infrastructure, construction of roads, bridges, the electrical grid and other utility projects. If you are dealing with contractors yourself, always use licensed contractors and have a Palm Springs construction lawyer look over your contracts. You can also investigate the contractor online to ensure he is licensed and insured and a Palm Springs construction attorney can do an additional investigation at little extra cost. Never pay a contractor the entire sum for a project at the start. Put all agreements in writing, including any changes.

 

5. Palm Springs Patents and Biotechnology – A patent should be applied for, for any new, and non-obvious process, or invention and to any new improvement of an invention at first opportunity. A patent is good for 20 years. Depending upon the complexity, most utility patent applications will cost between $8,000 and $12,000.00. A design patent can be applied for by a Palm Springs patent attorney, for the look of an item and is good for 14 years. A provisional patent can be applied for, good for one year at a cost of half of the usual utility patent cost but is only good for one year. If the inventor does not upgrade the provisional patent into a utility patent application within that period, usually for the cost of the remainder of the corresponding cost of a utility patent, the inventor loses his or her protection. A patent is pending once it has been applied for, and can be licensed, or sold outright. Without a patent, others can make and sell your invention with no compensation to you. Patent searches help the Palm Springs patent lawyer write an application around existing patents and cost an additional sum, usually under $1,000.00. Drawings must also be prepared for the patent application usually for under $500.00. A design patent can be sought for between $1,000 to $1,500 and a European design patent for between $2,000 to $2,500. Accelerated patent applications usually cost an additional 50% of normal patent applications. Foreign patent applications also require additional fees.

 

6. Palm Springs Trademarks – Trademark any original logos, designs, words, phrases, symbols or combinations that you use to identify your products or services as soon as possible. Call a Palm Springs trademark attorney as soon as anyone else’s trademark or service mark is so similar as to cause a likelihood of confusion in the public or if you receive a cease and desist letter from someone else accusing you of infringement. Trademark applications range from between $2,500 if there has not yet been any use of the trademark to $1,500 to apply for a trademark already in use. Therefore, to save money, create some products and advertising materials and apply for the trademark once they are ready to be sold and advertised.

 

7. Palm Springs Corporations – Never incorporate by yourself. Corporations will not protect you from liability if you do not follow corporate formalities correctly. Protect your intellectual property from the start with the help of a Palm Springs corporations attorney. Don’t borrow someone else’s employee handbook or fire problematic employees without legal advice. Don’t get investors without seeing one of our Palm Springs corporate attorneys. Cut costs to the bone. Use extra money to advertise, and sell in new markets. A Palm Springs corporations lawyer can provide you with advice as to which type of corporation or LLC to use for your business.

 

8. Entertainment Law, Sports Law, Marketing, Advertising, Media and Copyrights in Palm Springs – Whether you are a musician, an actor, a model, a writer, an athlete, a broadcaster or connected in any other way to the entertainment industry, contact us or another good Palm Springs entertainment attorney as soon as anyone gives you a contract to sign. Signing a bad contract can end your career before it’s ever begun. As soon as you have written any body of work, have it copyrighted. You can do this quite easily yourself, but if you need assistance or if someone else infringes your copyrighted work, you can then file suit against such a party.

 

9. Palm Springs Litigation – At the first sign that someone may sue you or your business, consult with a Palm Springs litigation attorney.
