Cambridge Couple Are Arrested For Federal Crimes Of Espionage Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr is having a field day on this one. Who can blame him?: The surface-layer ironies here are numerous! “Hey”, he muses, “they don’t call it the Red Line for nothing.” The rollicking news that some Cambridge residents have been arrested and accused of being Russian spies should be enough to keep us in stitches with puns focusing on titles like “Reds”, “Ruskies” and ( of course) “The People’s Republic Of Cambridge” for weeks to come. Anyone out there miss the “good old days” ...
"Chicago Mayor Offers Strict Gun Rules" This A.P. story is on the website of the New York Times: CHICAGO (AP) -- With the city's gun ban certain to be overturned, Mayor Richard Daley on Thursday introduced what city officials say is the strictest handgun ordinance in the United States.

How to Choose the Right Washington DUI Attorney
You probably never thought that you would have to hire a criminal attorney in your lifetime, or at least you hoped you would never have to. Most of us never feel like we will be in that position, but things do happen, people make mistakes, and the law can sometimes be wrong, too. If you have been charged with a crime, or fear that you will be, then hiring a Washington criminal attorney should be at the top of your list of things to do.
We Specialize in the Following Areas of Criminal Law:
Whether you have been charged with theft, burglary, assault, or more serious crimes, if you don’t have a professional and experienced Washington criminal attorney on your side, you really will pay the price. You might end up doing time when there was really no need, and you might actually end up with a conviction when in fact you weren’t guilty at all. A good Washington criminal lawyer will be able to make sure that the outcome for you is the best possible.
Not only do you need a criminal attorney, but you need one who has experience with the crime you have been charged with. So, if you have been charged with theft or burglary, then a criminal attorney who specializes in that field will help you greatly. You don’t want a DUI attorney when you have been charged with domestic violence, or vice versa.
The importance of finding the right criminal lawyer as early as possible cannot be overstated. If you can find one even before you are charged, then you have a much better chance of getting out of the charges altogether. If you have to wait until you are behind bars and have someone else find the criminal attorney for you, then make sure you are given plenty of opportunities to meet with them, make sure that you can trust them and get a good feeling about them. If you have any doubts or feel that they are not experienced enough to take your case, then do not take a chance on them.
It is vital that you find a Washington criminal attorney that you can also trust, one that you feel free to speak to, and one who believes you. If you did not commit the crime, then they need to believe that. If you feel that they don’t trust you or that they will not be fighting with everything they have to get you out of your charges, then find another criminal attorney.
