For those of you who remember the tragic accident that took place last year in Anaheim when a Banning man, rear-ended a bicyclist, fled the scene and the bicyclist died a few days later – the following is an update.
The man pleaded not guilty this week to amended charges of felony vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, felony hit-and-run, and for fleeing the scene. The police found the man’s El Camino truck soon after the accident with a shattered front windshield hidden in bushes not too far from Disneyland. The man, then on parole, turned himself into his parole officer a few days later. When first arrested, he was charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. The District Attorney’s office upgraded the charge to felony because of the disregard he showed by fleeing the scene. The man has four previous convictions which include possession of methamphetamines. He is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail and faces 13 years in prison if he is convicted.

You can be charged with drug dealing in California if you are found to be contributing to the production, packaging, distribution or the sale of narcotics. The penalty for this crime is usually prison. It is a felony crime regardless of what drug you sold. Drug dealers are seldom given probation even if it is a first-time offense.
Your sentence will be determined by the drugs in your possession and the amount you have. If you were caught with any type of illegal drug, you would be wise to contact a competent Criminal Law Attorney who has experience in handling drug-dealing cases in California and can advise you of your civil rights under the United States Constitution.

Recently a California man, was arrested when his computer was found to have 1.8 million stolen credit card numbers on it. He was sentenced to 13 years in Federal prison and ordered to repay $27.5 million to banks and credit cards companies that he victimized.
He pleaded guilty to an online clearinghouse where identity thieves shared stolen information. He told a judge that he was “mesmerized by the thrill of hacking”. He was addicted to it.
Several years ago, the man worked as a volunteer who helped the FBI understand and prevent cyber crimes. He was always curious as to what he could accomplish with a computer. It is too bad that the curiosity took a turn for the worst. There is no telling how much damage a person can do on a computer today.
