Resolved Question: Isn't this that same illegal the pro amnesty crowd has been defending and blamed the victim & not the illegal?

Los Angeles - An illegal immigrant gang member charged with murdering a standout Los Angeles High School football player had his motion for a change of venue denied today. Pedro Espinoza, 20, is accused of shooting 17-year-old Jamiel Shaw Jr. about 8:30 p.m. March 2, 2008, in the 2100 block of Fifth Avenue, while he was talking with his girlfriend on the phone two doors from his home. Prosecutors said they will seek the death sentence if he is convicted. Espinoza's attorneys, Csaba Palfi and David Houchin, had asked Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Bob Bowers Jr. to allow the trial to be moved outside Los Angeles County because of extensive pretrial publicity. Palfi said the judge denied the motion without prejudice, which allows the defense to renew its motion. "It is without question that this homicide shocked the Los Angeles community when it occurred and has been given, and will continue to be given, pervasive attention in this county from which all prospective jurors will be drawn," the attorneys wrote in their change-of-venue motion. "Media coverage has been both sensational and inflammatory." The defense wanted the trial moved to Santa Barbara County where, Palfi said, "the publicity wouldn't be as great." In his written response, Deputy District Attorney Bobby Grace said the initial heavy media attention has dropped off. see more at link http://www.myfoxla.com/dpp/news/local/no-change-of-venue-in-jamiel-shaw-murder-trial-20100827 more

Resolved Question: Why not Ellen de Rossi instead of Portia DeGeneres?

LOS ANGELES - Portia de Rossi filed papers to change her surname to match that of her wife, Ellen DeGeneres, at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday — a day after a California federal judge overturned Proposition 8. Straight person asking stupid question here. When my husband and I got married I took his name. I knew I was the wife because I had girl parts and I knew he was the husband because he had guy parts. I guess straight people don't have a whole lot to sort out. Apparently Ellen is the "husband" in this relationship as she gave Portia an engagement ring and Portia is taking her name. I understand that someone is born a lesbian but is it a conscious choice to be the husband or wife in a relationship?By saying "husband" I meant Ellen literally wears the pants in the family and I didn't know that there aren't specific gender roles in a lesbian marriage. Ellen clearly acts more guy than girl. more

Resolved Question: What do you think Open border activist I cant remember name in court but can remember name at rallies?

On May 20, 2010, Nativo Lopez, President of the Mexican American Political Association (MAPA), former MEChA organizer, ousted Santa Ana School Board official, and open-borders advocate made one more in a series of appearances in Los Angeles Superior Court relative to felony charges by the Los Angeles District Attorney of voter fraud and other serious allegations related to registering and voting in Los Angeles while residing in Orange County. Conviction could result in up to three years in prison. His preliminary hearing, now set for July 12, was postponed by Lopez’s repeated refusal to identify himself to the court at each appearance and the decision by Commissioner Kristi Lousteau in March to assign him for mental-competency determination before continuing with criminal proceedings. (http://orangejuicelbog.c/2010/05/nativo-lopez-update/) Nativo did not have any problem identifying himself on May 18 as a leader of the protest at Staples Center against Lakers coach Phil Jackson’s comment that Arizona’s new immigration law is irrelevant to basketball. He was also named as an organizer of the huge May 1, 2010, Los Angeles Immigration March, mirroring a similar event in 2006 when he and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa stood shoulder to shoulder in televised news interviews. On its website, the Boston Branch of the International Socialism Organization just announced that Nativo Lopez will speak at its upcoming 2010 conference in Chicago in June and Oakland on July 1, which should allow him time to return for his next appearance in Superior Court and, hopefully, remember his name. (www.bostonsocialism.com) On her current re-election campaign site, Green Party Mayor Gayle McLaughlin of Richmond, CA, www.greenpartywatch.org/tag/nativo-lopez/ shows a photo of Nativo Lopez at her kickoff, speaking not only as the National President of MAPA, but also as National Director of Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana, “…a community service and advocacy organization for Mexican and Latin American immigrants throughout the United States.” But the CA Secretary of State’s site indicates both Lopez’s Los Angeles-based MAPA Mexican American Political Association National and the Santa Ana Hermandad Mexicana Nacional corporations are suspended.http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/cbs.aspx This begs the question whether East-LA-born Larry Lopez (aka Nativo Vigil Lopez), really speaks for Mexican Americans in general, and, more specifically, whether he represents the views of MAPA, a historic, respected Latino political organization that advanced such notable Mexican Americans as former Los Angeles Councilman and later Congressman Edward R. Roybal, into important political and leadership positions. A recent Los Angeles Daily News story, “MAPA’s success leads to its decline,” quotes Jose Sandvoal, president of Young Latino Democrats of San Fernando Valley, describing MAPA as…such an old school Chicano organization…which isn’t very relevant to my generation today.” (Daily News, April 19, 2010) http://www.opposingviews.com/i/nativo-lopez-does-he-speak-for-mapa-and-mexican-americans more

Resolved Question: Where is all the outrage from Rev. Al Sharpton when an African-American is shot and killed by an illegal alien?

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge on Wednesday threw out a lawsuit by the parents of a high school football star who had sued the Sheriff’s Department for releasing from jail an illegal immigrant suspected of killing their son. 'The parents of Jamiel Shaw II, a running back who was recruited by Stanford and Rutgers universities before he was gunned down in 2008, had accused the sheriff of negligence, wrongful death and civil rights violations for letting Pedro Espinoza out onto the streets instead of turning him over to immigration authorities. Espinoza, a 21-year-old who prosecutors say was a member of the 18th Street gang in the United States illegally, had been released from jail a day before the shooting after serving time for an earlier offense. His criminal case, in which he faces the death penalty, remains pending. Shaw’s family alleged in their suit that because of an agreement allowing local agencies to enforce federal immigration law, the Sheriff’s Department was liable for Shaw’s death. At the time of the suit’s filing, immigration law experts said the argument that a sheriff or warden could be held liable for releasing an illegal immigrant who goes on to commit a crime was unprecedented. In dismissing the suit Wednesday, Judge Charles F. Palmer found that the federal-local partnership did not mean the sheriff had a “mandatory duty” to transfer illegal immigrants after they completed their sentences. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/05/la-sheriff-cant-be-used-to-releasing-illegal-immigrant-accused-of-killing-football-star-judge-rules.html more

Resolved Question: What do U think activist for illegals Nativo Lopez headed to trial after incident says he is not the defendant?

Please do not whine its to long to read. I for one find it interesting this activist is making out like he is above the law, how about you ?Immigrant-rights activist and former Santa Ana schools trustee Nativo Lopez was cleared today to face trial after a mental competency hearing – but proceedings were interrupted when Lopez refused to identify himself to the court, and was sent to jail. Lopez faces voter fraud charges that he registered to vote in Los Angeles while living in Santa Ana. On Feb. 3, he was ordered to have a competency hearing after he fired his attorney and repeatedly told the court that he was not the defendant. The competency hearing began yesterday. “He refused to identify himself,” Deputy District Attorney Juliet Schmidt wrote me in an email. “Apparently there was a ruckus. I wasn’t there. The judge held him in contempt and he was remanded into custody.” The hearing was continued today and Superior Court Judge Maria Stratton determined Lopez competent to stand trial, according to district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison. Lopez was released from jail on his own recognizance. A scheduling hearing will be held Monday to set the date of his preliminary hearing. Late Thursday night, the Mexican American Political Association, sent out an email, saying, “He is being held with the most dangerous prisoners and was forced to get naked and watched and video taped by three female guards. He has decided to begin a hunger strike. We need your help and support during this moment and need help spreading the word. Please notify any media and come out and show your support. This is extremely unjust and we must get him out of prison and make everyone aware of what is going on…. Lopez is national president of Mexican American Political Association and national director of Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana, both of which are advocates for immigrant rights. A controversial figure among both anti-illegal immigration activists and some community activists, Lopez was recalled in 2003 from his post as school board member after serving six years. The charges against him were filed after Bowen’s office investigated a tip and turned the matter over to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office to prosecute. The office where he was registered to vote was the Boyle Heights branch of Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana, according to Bowen. The Orange County Registrar of Voters said Lopez had been registered to vote in Santa Ana until January 2008, when he cancelled his Orange County registration. Lopez surrendered to authorities on Wednesday. Superior Court Commissioner Alan Rubin granted Lopez’s request to be released without posting bail. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office had been seeking bail of $55,000, said spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons. Arraignment – when Lopez will state whether he is guilty or not guilty – was set for July 8. In 1996, Lopez attracted controversy for registering new citizens in the congressional district where Democrat Loretta Sanchez upset incumbent Bob Dornan. A congressional investigation later found that some voters had cast ballots before their citizenship was finalized. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office investigated allegations that Lopez’s primary organization, then known as Hermandad Mexicana Nacional, was responsible for the improper registrations but no charges were filed. Lopez also ran into difficulties in 2002 over hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding received by Hermandad Mexicana Nacional, whose services included citizenship training and English lessons. Prosecutors alleged that Lopez had wrongly used the education grants to pay the mortgage on his headquarters in Santa Ana. Hermandad Mexicana Nacional agreed to pay a $600,000 settlement, but did not admit wrongdoing. http://totalbuzz.freedomblogging.com/2010/03/26/nativo-lopez-headed-to-trial-after-incident/32645/ more

Resolved Question: Why is Calif so Cash-strapped LA County courts to begin layoffs I thoughts illegals would save Calif?

Why is Calif so Cash-strapped LA County courts to begin layoffs I thoughts illegals would save Calif ? Is Calif doomed to be the first failed state in America ? LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County Superior Court is laying off 329 staff members next month and officials say more than 1,000 others may go in the next two years because of budget cuts. A memo from Court Executive Officer John Clarke to employees says the first layoffs will begin on April 1. Clarke says an additional 500 layoffs are planned for September followed by 530 in fall 2011. The court currently has 5,400 employees. Clarke says civil rather than criminal cases will be hardest hit. Clark says the court system's budget deficit is expected to reach $140 million by the 2011-12 fiscal year that begins in July. Presiding Judge Charles McCoy has said he's looking at plans to close up to 180 courtrooms and lay off about a third of the staff. http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_14634921?nclick_check=1 more

Resolved Question: Do you think they way they summon people for jury duty is wrong?

I don't know about your area, but in the Los Angeles area, the Superior Court is way to desperate. I know someone who doesn't even qualify, but they send her another summon (she was denied) forcing her to go. She doesn't understand English well enough to be a juror. She's to slow to comprehend what will be said at a trial, I know. But I don't think they care. Just think if you ever have to go to court, and your life is on the line, these are the kind of people they select for jury duty. People who admit that they are not qualified, and yet still are forced into jury duty. Are you ok with that? more

Resolved Question: California Schools Collapsing is this The Cost of Illegal Immigration in America?

LOS ANGELES (CN) - A federal class action claims that public school students in Los Angeles are denied the basic education guaranteed by the California Constitution as the district plans to lay off thousands of teachers. Due to California's budget fiasco, the state expects to send out 14,000 reduction-in-force notices to teachers this spring -- nearly 5 percent of the teaching force -- despite its rank as 46th in the nation in per-pupil spending. Students at Samuel Gompers, John H. Liechty, and Edwin Markham Middle Schools, in the city's poorest areas, with the highest concentration of minorities, were hit the hardest, according to the Superior Court complaint. Already "denied the basic educational opportunity guaranteed them by the California Constitution," according the complaint. Those schools expect to lose or already have lost 50 to 70 percent or more of their teachers. Schools in wealthier areas face far fewer layoffs. And the layoffs affect teachers who were prepared and committed to serve the poor, minority, urban students, the class claims. Such schools have a higher percentage of non-English speakers, less access to materials, and more students with learning disabilities than schools in wealthier districts. The class of students and parents say their schools had "successfully recruited a critical mass of teachers committed to staying at the schools and becoming a foundation for an experienced, effective teaching corps." But that has been demolished, the class claims. The class adds that because their schools had the highest concentration of young teachers, they were disproportionately affected by the reduction in force, which dismissed teachers with less experience first. Since layoffs began, the plaintiff students have been taught by a string of substitutes. Some students have had as many as 9 substitutes so far this school year, several of whom do not have credentials in the areas they teach - or no credentials at all, the complaint states. (Schools traditionally rotate such "permanent substitutes," as they must pay them more per day after a certain period, so disrupting students' learning saves the state money.) Many teachers who are assigned to the poor urban schools from the state's "Rehire List" quit after a few days or weeks because they are unable to keep control of classrooms, or they don't want to work in the poor areas, the class claims. "Effective instruction is not merely a matter of whether a teacher is able to teach the course content; it is also a matter of whether the teacher is able to teach that content to the students who attend that school," the complaint states. In the past 5 years, Gompers Middle School, in Watts in South Central Los Angeles, has had fewer than 15 percent of its students perform at or above proficient levels on state achievement testing, the complaint states. Markham Middle School, also in Watts, had only 13 percent of its students score as proficient. California expects to send out 14,000 reduction-in-force notices by this spring, said Ramon Cortines, Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent. California has about 307,000 public schoolteachers. Receiving a RIF notice does not guarantee that a teacher will be laid off; many schools do not complete the hiring process until late August. But receiving a RIF notice makes teachers fear for their job and seek a new one. They become demoralized, distracted and can't focus on teaching, which exacerbates an already devastating situation, the class claims. The class sued California and the Los Angeles Unified School District, alleging violations of equal protection under the Constitution. They seek an injunction, costs and fees. Their lead attorney is Mark Rosenbaum with the American Civil Liberties Union. http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/02/25/25047.htm more

Resolved Question: Un-paid parking/speeding ticket?

My friend lives in Los Angeles, California. She's currently doing a job that takes her all over the U.S. and she will not be back in California because she's moving to New York when her job is finished at the end of Feburay. Anyway, while she's doing her job she changed her address to her sisters house. Her sister called her today saying she got something in the mail from the california superior court saying she owes 700 bucks (for some type of traffic ticket, either speeding or parking) and didn't show up for her court date. However, she never received anything in the mail prior to this one letter and has NEVER been pulled over and given a speeding ticket. I do know that you can get speeding tickets without being pulled over through the camers. So, my question is: what should she do?

She's moving to New York and giving her car to her parents, so what would happen if she never paid the ticket from California? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: what are your thoughts and opinions on Arnaldo's wife caught breaking the law 3Xs?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling out his wife, Maria Shriver, for apparently violating a state law he signed — holding her cell phone while driving. The celebrity Web site TMZ.com posted two photographs Tuesday showing Shriver holding a phone to her ear while she's behind the wheel. It says one was snapped Sunday and the other in July. The Web site later added a video it said was shot Tuesday in Brentwood, where the family lives. It shows Shriver holding a cell phone to her ear while driving a large SUV that appears to be a Cadillac Escalade. She then puts the phone down while the camera is rolling. The first lady's office said it would have no comment. On his Twitter feed, Schwarzenegger wrote to TMZ.com founder Harvey Levin: "Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention. There's going to be swift action." Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear says that by "swift action," the governor means he'll ask his wife not to hold the phone while driving. In a note accompanying the video, TMZ responded to Schwarzenegger's tweet by saying, "... your scofflaw wife was at it again." A law that took effect in July 2008 requires California drivers to use a handsfree device when talking on cell phones. Since then, the California Highway Patrol has issued more than 150,000 citations. That figure does not include citations issued by local police. Drivers who are spotted by law enforcement officers holding a cell phone to their ear are subject to fines of at least $20 for the first ticket and $50 for subsequent tickets, plus additional fees. In Los Angeles County, where Brentwood is located, the Superior Court has set the cost at about $93 for the first ticket and $201 for the next one, meaning Shriver would owe at least $300 in fines and court fees had she been caught by police. Schwarzenegger has previously praised the regulation and said he warned his then-16-year-old daughter that if she ever violated the law, "she'll be taking the bus." more

Resolved Question: plz sammarize this article..?

A Window Into Ticket Scalping Lawsuit Claims Ticketmaster Sold Tickets at Markups to Face Value Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. and its current chief executive paid a ticket broker to sell tickets at more than their normal face values to concerts by the Eagles, Journey and other acts, according to a lawsuit the broker has filed against the ticketing giant. While the underlying lawsuit is a breach-of-contract allegation, the alleged events it describes highlight the broader importance of ticket reselling for the concert industry. A planned merger by Ticketmaster and concert promoter Live Nation Inc. is based in large part on giving them greater control over ticket prices, allowing the companies to compete more effectively against ticket brokers. Executives at the companies have said they see no benefit from scalping, as ticket reselling is commonly known. But the arrangement described in the lawsuit, if true, would be one of several recent examples of ways the companies have found to do just that. Many brokers complain that a tie-up of Ticketmaster and Live Nation would put them out of business because the higher prices the merged company could charge would leave little room for broker markups. "This is a meritless lawsuit which we will defend with vigor," a Ticketmaster spokesman wrote in an email, declining further comment. The lawsuit was filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court by Chuck Lombardo, a ticket broker in the New York area who alleges that Ticketmaster reneged on an agreement to buy his company and give him a three-year employment contract. Ticketmaster last year hired Mr. Lombardo and his company, Elite Entertainment Inc., as consultants when Ticketmaster was building a presence in the secondary ticketing market, according to the suit. The alleged events described in the suit took place nearly a year after the collapse of separate talks, with the code name Project Showtime, that would have led to Ticketmaster acquiring six regional brokerages, including Elite. Ticketmaster also routinely sells premium-priced tickets on its Ticketexchange.com site, which had been billed as a place for fans to sell tickets to one another. Mr. Lombardo in his suit says his duties for Ticketmaster in 2008 included selling "premium tickets," essentially prime seats at higher than normal face value, for concert tours by high-profile artists, including Journey, Van Halen and other artists. People in the concert industry have said acts typically would benefit from such arrangements. Mr. Lombardo's suit says Ticketmaster agreed to pay him 6% of gross ticket sales. In one instance, Mr. Lombardo alleges that talentmanagement company Front Line Management sold him tickets to concerts by one of its clients, the Eagles, for above their face value. Mr. Lombardo then resold the tickets for more still and shared the difference with Front Line, he says. Ticketmaster bought Front Line last October and made its chief executive, Irving Azoff, CEO of the combined company. A representative for Journey, Van Halen and the Eagles said the bands were unavailable for comment. Mr. Lombardo's lawsuit comes as historically strained relations between Ticketmaster and brokers have reached a new level of tension. In addition to their complaints about the planned merger, brokers have complained about Ticketmaster's introduction of electronic tickets, which customers can pick up only at a box office shortly before an event and are nearly impossible to resell except in limited circumstances controlled by Ticketmaster. The company says the practice helps ensure that fans have access to tickets at the original sale price. Mr. Lombardo in his suit says Ticketmaster last October proposed acquiring his company and hiring him. But soon after and without explanation, he says, Ticketmaster withdrew the offer and began pressuring him to accept less money than he believed he was owed for the work he had done. He claims that under pressure from Ticketmaster, he accepted the lower payment terms, thinking he was still in line for an employment agreement, though none materialized. The suit asks for damages to be determined during trial. The lawsuit was reported by TicketNews.com, whose owner also owns a ticket brokerage and resale site. more

Headline: Cook Claims Saudi Arabian Prince Stiffed Him on 8 Years of Overtime Link: http://www.courthousenews.com/2009/09/24/Cook_Claims_Saudi_Arabian_Prince_Stiffed_Him_on_8_Years_of_Overtime.htm Story: LOS ANGELES (CN) - A cook says a Saudi Arabian prince fired him for complaining that he had to work more than 12 hours a day seven days a week without overtime pay at the prince's Beverly Hills estate. Pedro Gomez sued Prince Saud Bin Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz al Saud in Superior Court. Gomes says he cooked for the prince and his wife and children from 1999 to 2007. The prince, also known as Prince Saud Al Faisal, has been foreign minister of Saudi Arabia since 1975, and is a son of the late Saudi king, Faisal bin Abdul Aziz. Gomez says he cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for about 30 people a day, 13 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week without overtime pay. He says he was denied meal breaks and rest periods, and that the prince failed to deduct payroll taxes, report withholdings or provide workers with W-2 forms. "As Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, Prince Saud is responsible ... for diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States," the lawsuit states. "However, Prince Saud and defendants' activities in their Beverly Hills palatial estate are far from diplomatic." Gomez says was fired in March this year for complaining about the conditions, and that the prince withheld pay he had earned. He seeks compensatory and punitive damages, restitution and back pay. He is represented by Keith Fink. more

Now only do the taxpayers have to pay for her care as well as the care of her kids but now she gets a Reality show. This is pathetic disturbing & disgusting. Far as I'm concerned those kids should be taken away from her. -> LOS ANGELES - Octuplet mother Nadya Suleman has signed agreements for each of her 14 children to earn $250 a day to star in a reality television show. The contracts filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court guarantee the children will collectively earn about $250,000 over three years. The contracts require a judge's approval. European production company Eyeworks has inked the deal with Suleman. Eyeworks lists "Breaking Bonaduce" and "The Biggest Loser" among its television credits. The show is slated to begin filming Sept. 1, according to the documents. The payments outlined in the contracts say Suleman's kids will collectively earn $125,000 for 36 days of shooting in the first year of production, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year and $50,000 for 14 days in the third year. Any extra shooting days will be compensated at the same rate. The contract also states that 15 percent of the gross compensation will be deposited by Eyeworks into a "Coogan Trust Account," as required by California law. The monies can't be touched until the children turn 18 or become legally emancipated. http://omg.yahoo.com/news/court-docs-octomom-inks-showbiz-deal-for-tots/25663I for one will not watch her garbage show. more

Resolved Question: What do you think about Chris Brown's charges?

Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos announced that a deal had been struck just minutes before a preliminary hearing was set to start in a Los Angeles courtroom. Brown, who could have faced four years in prison for felony charges of assault and making criminal threats, will not serve any jail time. Instead, he was sentenced to five years probation and 1400 hours of community service, which he may be allowed to serve in his home state of Virginia. If Brown violates his probation, he will be ordered to serve the maximum four years. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg also issued a protective stay-away order, under which Brown cannot come within 50 yards of Rihanna unless they are required to be at the same event, in which he case, he cannot come within 10 yards of her. He's also banned from having any phone or e-mail contact with her. So the question is What do you think about Chris Brown's charges? more

Resolved Question: Laker fans or Magic fans?

which fans are better, which fans are worse. i've lived in both LA and FL and am an avid basketball fan therefore i believe i know everything there is to know about both teams statistically and intellectually. i always try to attempt not to hold a bias when i analyze. BUT, i am a magic fan and i happen to believe that the magic are far superior. i understand because of a lopsided game 1 loss laker fans will talk and talk and talk but i justify that talking to an unawareness that they have of the magic. with that said i was just wondering since i seem to have my head up my behind like many other magic fans who believed we would make it all the way and who believe our team has the most depth from top to bottom...i was wondering if that suggests we might be worse off than laker fans who seem to act similarly albeit without real knowledge about their opposition, which i credit magic fans for having. if i was asked this question i would believe that magic fans are better because the home court advantage is far more favorable. amway arena has the whiteout with every fan wearing the shirts and a spirited crowd that is not as vibrant at staples center. And of course referring back to game 1 i realize because of the outcome there people will just ignore any attempts i am making to suggest the magic are the better team here, however it is worth noting the magic have still won 2 out of 3 against the lakers this season regardless of whether they were playoff or non-playoff games. finally, because i brought up the home court issue and how the lakers still technically own home court advantage i will offer up my predictions for the outcome of this series. As Kobe said following the game 1 victory, the Magic had an off day (in fact the worst game i have seen them play all season) and they will come to play in game 2. He is right and i would be very surprised if the Magic don't win that game 2 this coming sunday. following sundays game you have the 3 games in orlando where in the worst case the magic will lose only 1 game if you take my word for it. and that would push the lakers against the wall going back to los angeles or in their worst case; done in 5 games.In either scenario the magic would be at an advantage. i happen to believe since the lakers are the lakers they will get 1 in orlando to push it back to staples but in a closeout game 6 the magic and dwight howard will win their 1st title in what is likely to become a dynastyhaha choked up my words, that should be a spirited crowd that is a "tad more vibrant than staples center" more

Resolved Question: What do you think here Family members of slain youth sue L.A. County?

Blocked user TONYGREASY YOU ARE BLOCKED STOP ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS.Relatives of a 17-year-old youth slain by an illegal alien -- sparking an unsuccessful drive to put what became known as "Jamiel's Law" on the city ballot -- have sued the county for wrongful death. The lawsuit was filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court by Jamiel and Anita Shaw, the parents of the late Jamiel Shaw II. The deceased teen's brother, Thomas Shaw, also is a plaintiff. They family members name as defendants the county, Sheriff Lee Baca and their son's alleged killer, Pedro Espinoza. The relatives also are alleging negligence, violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act and deprivation of civil rights. They are seeking unspecified damages. Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for Baca, said he had not seen the lawsuit and declined to comment. Shaw, a Los Angeles High School football player, was shot and killed in March 2008, allegedly by Espinoza, an alleged gang member who was in the country illegally. According to the lawsuit, deputies negligently released Espinoza from jail on March 1, 2008, despite knowing he was "a dangerous felon and an immigration violator." Shaw was shot at 8:30 p.m. a day later in the 2100 block of 5th Avenue while talking with his girlfriend on the phone two doors from his home. The lawsuit also alleges that Espinoza, a Latino, targeted Shaw because he is black. The 20-year-old Espinoza, who is charged with murder, is scheduled to be arraigned June 30. "Jamiel's Law" would have given Los Angeles police officers the right to arrest undocumented gang members before they commit crimes. However, supporters of the measure did not obtain enough signatures to place the measure on the May city election ballot.http://www.contracostatimes.com/california/ci_12343566GreasyTo...
