Murder
She Wrote
"Murder, she wrote",
staring Angela Lansbury, and featuring situational
andecetotal murder mysteries involving murder
began as a narration. Jessica Fletcher narrated
her murder and crime mysteries. Later, she
moved to New York to be closer to crime,
New York criminal attorneys and New York
police, of course. Murder followed Jessica
everywhere she went. If she went to a party,
somebody was murdered. If she went to the
hair dressers, surely a criminal homicide
would occur. While the show did not depict
the felonies, we found a site (www.vanwagnerwood.com)
that does a great job at differentiating murder
from felony murder from homicide from all
the other forms of murder.
Diminished
Capacity, A Murder Defense
Diminished capacity is
the mental state that people with Alzheimer's
find themselves in when the Alzheimer's
has advanced to the point where they are
not able to differentiate reality from fiction.
But what is diminished capacity. For a good
definition of diminished capacity, check
out Diminished
Capacity, Unintentional Murder.
Grandparents
Visitation
Grandparents have rights,
too! Many grandparents would love to share
in their grandchildren's lives, but due
to disputes that are unresolved, legal action
between parents and children, lack of support
or maintenance from a parent, or alternative
lifestyle choices (such as same sex relationships),
many grandparents are denied the right to
visit their grandchildren. We wanted to
pass along the name of an attorney
in Madison who helps grandparents obtain
visitation rights: Kathy Reiley. You
can visit her website at: reileylaw.com.
Murder on the Orient
Express is one of the most watched films
in history. Why is that?
