Complaints to the city that brought out an inspector, who tried to enter on Nov. 17, failed and never returned.In such cases, said Robert Weisberg, a Stanford law professor and co-director of the school’s Criminal Justice Center, someone responsible for the property can be convicted of involuntary manslaughter if “a reasonable person under the circumstances would have realized there was some high probability of death.”I'm not going to post the entire article, but it has a decent summary of what it takes for a landlord to expose themselves to criminal prosecution.

I could go into a long rant about gurus, but I've said it all before and it's on BP already, not putting you in a guru status per se.And, I agree, this subject is too complicated to cover the bases in a forum, to do it justice, I'd say you could attend classes for a year and still not touch all aspects of the business, at least at the pace I taught finance at the college level years ago.

I spoke to family of the offender, and I honestly believe he got a bad break (serious baby momma drama - not to get all men's rights activist here, but it is truly unholy how much weight the word of a woman-scorned carries in our justice system, particular if the accused cant afford a decent attorney.)

You only get the justice that you can afford.Mike
