Atlanta, and as the nation prepares to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the death of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., on April 4, a fierce debate anger over telephone lines, radio and Internet ether-Message Boards debate, the end of the Civil Code - Rights of driving licences would have found fascinating. One week after the rapper T.I. Guilty plea on federal weapons and incidentals an agreement, the amount of shortened prison, it would serve, a lot of supporters, including his own, still believes that the hip-hop superstar n has not been punished enough.

“I am not a lot of money, as a man, they should not be able to become familiar with the situation, a person with less money can not,” said one observer NYCutie, the website of the photographer Sandra Atlanta - Rose, echo the sentiments of a large swath of the reviewers. “Justice has been served NO!”

Indeed, in the days following March 27 announcement of TI’s basic recourse to federal prosecutors, most of us, it seems, are still trying to discover what makes the script and the complexity of many other factors play a role. And, as revelations about the exact nature of the agreement, most surface last week, the answers to the growing list of issues has been more difficult to find.

Among the questions: Are-1000 hours of work over the next several years, most of the time spent talking about the risk groups of youth, followed by one year in prison, a fine, and 500 hours non-profit organization of probation work for three years as special treatment? Was it divorced from prosecutors? Has it not to steal information about others, in return for the agreement, Cardinal forcing mistakes of gangster rap, it embodies the culture? Did he not deserve a chance to hi? And perhaps most difficult of all: War justice?

Lake Charles, La - A New Orleans Bourbon Street, doormen were acquitted Thursday by homicide in 2004, the New Year’s Eve death of a Georgia College student.

After consulting more than an hour, and the jury had deleted Arthur Irons, the first in a series of four Türstehern process in connection with the death of Levon Jones, South Georgia student, in New Orleans was a flag for the Cup tournament.

Their crime, she had allegedly schimpfte one of them in the establishment of a chair. The plan was very specific. They knock unconscious of the teacher with a paper, they link with toy handcuffs and duct tape, then stab them with a steak knife, police said. (See photo) Each student had a special role to play in the plot.

A child mission was whether the windows from the outside could be a witness to the attack and the other after the attack.

Still police have said that the three students, the paper, wrists and the gang have been arrested. District Attorney Rick Currie said the newspaper Times-Union, that Georgia has no responsibility for the appendix, but like all young as third-graders.

Vanessa McGrogan ever noticed that the car in front of the vehicle that will accelerate until it is too late. Jeffrey Stasium not see that the passage of the car to its intersection Pickup Truck jumped into the driver’s door.

Blackouts, separated three years and 160 miles, have two things in common. Both drivers were diverted to use their mobile phones after an appeal against it. And their employers written in the general controls

The past few months for appeal in Fulton County.

Overview of mobile phones have led to great progress in productivity and availability of workers, so that workers and managers remain in constant contact. A 2007 study shows that three-quarters of Americans use mobile phones while driving. And a good percentage of them are probably making the company.

But for all activities relating to benefits, the devices can also be personal injury, lawyers in enterprises to achieve “deep pockets.

In December McGrogan employers, International Paper, has agreed to pay $ 5.2 million for the settlement of an accident in which a woman was forced from the car, the road and his arm was amputated later. In February, Modern Continental Construction Co. Agreed to pay $ 750000 for a woman whose car was Stasium. A jury was deliberating at that time.

Recent settlements such as this and other species of great events have caused businesses in Germany, to protect itself, the financial responsibility. With increasing frequency, companies require workers not to use a mobile phone while driving, or at least occupy Hands-free sets.

“Sophisticated employers say, ‘We need a policy,” said Atlanta lawyer Stephen treasure, which defends Modern Continental. “Georgia, when we are already too, or manpower [and Crash Up], and your employer can not be held responsible. But if you use the phone for commercial purposes - including his own phone - [business] can not be held responsible. ”

Last year, Georgia, the appellate court magistrate banked Fulton, threw the suit against Modern Continental. The appellate court cited a 2003 ruling, said it was to a jury to decide whether Stasium was on the phone when the accident occurred, and if his request was in connection with work.

During the year 2003, the Court of Appeal decided that a company could be held liable if a “servant, was at that time, in the service of his master” via a mobile phone during the blackout s ‘is produced.

“The question is whether you do business of the employer [mobile phone],” said Alexander HJA, lawyer Pamela Hunter, a hair stylist seriously injured and the crash Stasium.

Modern Continental argued that it was not liable because Stasium, the company responsible, it was in his own truck on his own mobile phone and not the clock, when he received a call ‘ an employee of choice, and later, the repetition. But what could be a jury to decide, in cases like these, companies worry, which is a lot to deal with.

Katherine McArthur, Macon lawyer representing Debra Ford, who was injured in the wreck with McGrogan said permanent International Paper for $ 5.2 million, “because they do not want the jury to hear them.”

“My case was clear: the company that the phone and it was on the job” when the incident occurred, said McArthur.

Still, urbanization “has been reached, even if staff had violated their [International Paper] policy on the use of hands-free headset during the journey,” said the Insurance Information Institute, such cases observed.

A spokesman for International Paper agreed that the policy was in effect for several years but had no other comment.

McArthur said, although the use of mobile phone while driving is dangerous, lawyers are increasingly mixed messages. She recently organized a seminar for lawyers and said it had evidence that you can call and dictate messages from the car. “It’s a way to make things happen along the way,” said McArthur.

But she referred to a study which shows pilot on mobile phones are inattentive, as those who legally drunk, as he says with another driver Hands-free device is not better than those who hand-held cell. She said it is common for lawyers researching mobile complainant recordings serious wrecks, to see if the other driver was on the phone.

In response to its own research, McArthur, a policy of their company to the judgement of the mobile phone calls, SMS messages and control “, while the rolling resistance. Has it about him?

“No,” she says with a laugh. “I can not stop it. It’s too insidious.”

Daniel O’Meara, work and an employment policy lawyer and professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, provides a number of changes. O’Meara spoke to a customer from his car, if a woman has heard some background information on noise in transport. “She said,” We have by the end of this call, “O’Meara recalled.” That was their company policy. ”

Such a policy, so well known by employees and to implement “can go a long way toward protecting your business,” he said. “It should be an integral part of the culture.”

Skanska USA Building Inc policy after payment of nearly $ 5 million in 2004 for a suit in the metro Atlanta. He said: “It is forbidden, by hand or mobile phone while driving business enterprises on Blackberry and / or time. If your job requires you to turn on your laptop while you are driving, you must be a “hands-free device. ”

The problem is annoying for those seeking to determine liability in such cases.

Adrian Avila, a juror in the modern Continental case, said almost all potential jurors raised their hands when she asked whether a mobile phone while driving.

Later, as deliberations began, he said, several jurors wanted to keep the company in liability. Avila says that the company was not liable because there was no reported evidence of a few minutes between the driver of a minute and a phone call 911 immediately after the incident. This he says, that the pilot is not on the cell phone of influence.

At the end, the jury chose to Modern Continental, although the decision was challenged because the two sides during the discussions. But the case has remained in his home.
