This guy sits for three games but an average Joe would be in prison.

Jerome Simpson

The Bengals might not have let such an athletic, young player become a free agent had he not been in trouble. Simpson faces a three-game suspension under the league’s substance abuse policy stemming from his conviction earlier this spring on a felony drug charge. Law enforcement authorities said they tracked a shipment of 2½ pounds of marijuana to his Kentucky home last year and found another pound of the drug inside.

Funny......A google news search turns up NO accounts of the story......just nfl links that mention it.

actually, that gives me motive for one reason he's a Ron Paul supporter....

For those who haven't read it the story is from 1993 and says police responded to a silent alarm at his house, arrested a burgler but also found something they thought was marijuana in the bedroom when they were there, so when Gilbert met the police at his house they arrested him too.

Since it didn't show up in the bar record, I'm personally not going to worry about it. Your mileage may vary.

It never said if he was actually charged or convicted. Though I don't think I am the best to weigh in here. This guy is like my hero for bringing this case forward Gah I can't tell you how much I would LOVE if Mittens was arrested for the crimes committed this election cycle.

well, it says he was arrested. Since there was a burglar at the house, it might have been decided they didn't know who it belonged to, or that a jury would wonder why the police were going through his bedroom, or the DA just didn't think it was worth it...

How bad can he be?

Estimates show Womens Law Center employs 10 to 19 people and has an annual revenue of $1 to 2.5 million. He is owner of it + Gilbert & Marlow law firm.

*I said worst thing about judges
**My father (also lawyer) ....oh boy
***My contract law professor....he would rant and spit and fire and lightning would go out of his eyes and mouth when he would speak about (some) judges

P.s.
Thanks for compliments PatriotOne.

OK, Now for a word of caution. It appears as if we may have a so called "hothead" lawyer behind this case. Now I'm starting to get a little concerned about him presenting the case. You can read about it here: http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/richard-c-gilbert

Oh...there was more....this one is disturbing......


Woman Accused of Boy's Torture Is Judged Competent : Courts: Jury takes only 15 minutes to reject her claim that she was insane when she used a miniature baseball bat to abuse her 10-year-old nephew last September.

January 27, 1995|RENE LYNCH | TIMES STAFF WRITER

SANTA ANA — Jurors deliberated about 15 minutes Thursday before rejecting an Orange woman's claim that she is not mentally competent to stand trial on charges of sexually assaulting and torturing her 10-year-old nephew.

Cynthia Medina, 31, claims she was insane during the September attack in which police say she used a miniature souvenir baseball bat to sexually abuse the boy as punishment for touching an ashtray. Medina is also accused of administering other severe abuse, such as searing the boy's tongue with a heated butter knife.

Defense attorney Richard C. Gilbert had argued that his client was not mentally competent to stand trial. One of the defense witnesses during the two-day trial testified that Medina suffered from multiple personalities.

Two court-appointed psychiatrists who examined Medina, however, testified she was able to fully understand the charges against her and assist in her own defense.

Supervising Deputy Dist. Atty. Chuck Middleton, who oversees child abuse cases, said he was pleased with the jury's verdict and noted that deliberations lasted a little more than 15 minutes.

"She may not want to face the injuries she inflicted on the child . . . but she is competent to stand trial and answer for her crimes," he said.

Gilbert could not be reached for comment.

Medina is also charged with abusing her own son. The case against her marks the first time in Orange County that the torture allegation has been used in a child abuse case. Both boys have been removed from her custody.

Her husband, Edward Medina, 45, also is charged with failing to protect the boys and faces trial later this year.

The nephew was so seriously injured in the assault that he was hospitalized and temporary fitted with a colostomy bag, authorities said.

Orange Lawyer Sues to Practice Without Being Member of Bar

January 16, 1992|LILY DIZON | TIMES STAFF WRITER

SANTA ANA — The county lawyer who represented two surrogate mothers in their quest for custody or visitation rights is suing the State Bar of California to be allowed to practice without being a Bar member.

In a lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court here Wednesday, Richard C. Gilbert of Orange contends that he should not be required to belong to an organization that advocates "the flesh-peddling of human babies for profit."

At its September convention in Anaheim, the Bar approved a proposal to regulate surrogacy. Drafted by the Orange County Bar Assn., the surrogacy policy resolution is intended to anticipate legal problems from surrogacy cases and to offer guidelines to lawyers.

In 1990, Gilbert represented Anna L. Johnson in her unsuccessful bid to gain custody of a son she bore for an infertile couple. Johnson has appealed to the state Supreme Court.

Last year, in another case, Gilbert represented Elvira Jordan, who was ordered to share custody with the child's biological father.

Gilbert, whose co-plaintiff in the suit is Sacramento lawyer Sharon M. Huddle, said the case will "bring down the State Bar" or effectively disband it because lawyers practicing in California must, under the state Constitution, belong to the Bar.

The suit also seeks an injunction restraining the Bar from further lobbying the Legislature for passage of two bills similar to the resolution.

The Bar supports those bills, said the association's president, John M. Seitman, because "they offer lawyers guidance to give to their clients in this rapidly growing area."

However, the Bar has no written policy concerning the explosive surrogacy issue, he added.

As to Gilbert wanting to dissolve the Bar, Seitman said: "Mr. Gilbert can wish what he wants. . . . That issue has been debated for years, and members (of the Bar) have consistently demanded that there be a unified Bar."

Is that why the meat of things about Ron Paul seem to be in the middle of an article?

edit: Romeny presumed nominee, but RP..

Yeah, when a post begins with something like, "since you are too lazy to do it yourself, blah blah blah" I tend to not read further.

I think we will be really hurt in this lawsuit by the campaign, and yes I do mean Ron Paul too!. going behind our backs and agreeing to the GOP support for Romney. I have no idea what they were thinking. IMO Agreeing to allow the GOP to appoint Romney as their nominee and give money and support to him... Should have been followed by Ron Paul stepping out. No, instead it was kept secret from us and more money bombs and millions were added to a campaign that had all but forfeit.

I have no idea why people are not upset over this? Of course the GOP stepped all over us, they were practically given permission.

I am still for Ron Paul, but some of the glitter has worn off.

no it hasn't. and you're transparent.

That's what we want, more transparency
