The investigation targeted people wanted for possessing and/or distributing sexually explicit or pornographic images of minors. According to U.S. Attorney Karen P. Hewitt, the images depicted minors being sexually abused and victimized.

  San Diego - Convicted Sex Offender is Charged with Murder
Posted By San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer
On Tuesday March 9, 2010 a judge issued a gag order which delayed the process of a hearing in the a case against 30 year-old John Albert Gardner III.  Apparently the prosecution had hoped for a trial by July, but the defense is pushing for one in September.  The defendant is a convicted sex offender and is being charged with the disappearance and murder of 17-year old Chelsea King.  Chelsea's body was found in a park just north of San Diego, CA. 

Gardner is also under investigation for his possible connection with the murder of another teen girl, 14-year old Amber Dubois.  Amber's remains were recently found just ten miles from the site where Chelsea's body was found.  The young girl went missing last year near her high school.  Gardner has pleaded not guilty to this accusation as well as the charges against him for the other counts of attempted rape and murder.

If you have been charged with murder, rape, or any other crime in San Diego or the surrounding areas you should hire a defense lawyer who has experience representing individuals who have been charged for multiple crimes.

  Expungement Services in San Diego
Posted By San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney

Convictions for any crime are detrimental to your future.  Sometimes having a particular crime on your record can prevent you from living certain places, operating a vehicle, or working a certain job.  The effects of a first time criminal conviction on your future can be serious, but they do not have to be permanent.

You might consider a criminal expungement.  This is different from the a pardon or the process of appeals and can offer some relief from negative background checks if granted.  The legal system offers an expungement proceeding which allows first time offenders to file a lawsuit seeking the "erasing" of the records containing the information of their prior conviction.  This process can be confusing and requires the experience and service of a knowledgeable San Diego expungement lawyer.

Don't let a first time conviction keep you from the future opportunities you deserve! If you have a conviction on your record that you would like to have expunged you should contact a San Diego criminal defense attorney from the Superior Law Center today.

  San Diego DUI Laws and Consequences
Posted By San Diego DUI Defense Lawyer
The state of California has two types of statues that are used to determine how an individual will and can be charged for a DUI.  They are as follows:

The first statute compares the individual who is driving under the influence with that of a sober individual.  This regulation concludes whether or not the accused individual is more or less impaired that a sober person would be in that situation.  This decision is made by the officer who pulls a person over for  driving under the influence and it has nothing to do with blood alcohol content.

The second statute deals with the blood alcohol content or BAC.  in San Diego and all over the state of California an individuals blood alcohol level must be less than a .08%.  A driver can be arrested for exceeding this limit regardless of their capability to operate a vehicle and / or pass field sobriety tests.

If you have been charged with a DUI you have the right to a fair trial.  You should always be informed of your rights!  Please contact our San Diego DUI defense lawyer, Erik Friis, for a consultation today!

  Police Brutality in San Diego
Posted By San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer
If you have ever been arrested for a crime you may have been the victim of police brutality.  While being arrested for a multiple DUI or drug possession you still have right and the San Diego police officers are required by law to respect your rights.  Law enforcement is guilty of police brutality when they use extreme force, either physically or verbally. 

Police brutality could be in the form of  false arrest, or police misconduct.  Individuals who are charged with crimes such as assault, theft, or  probation violations do not deserve to be treated with disrespect or abuse, regardless of what a police officer may think of the individual.  Abuse of power and position is a serious offense and should not be taken lightly by any victim of brutality.

In San Diego, and all over the United States of America, a person who has been charged with a crime is considered innocent until proven guilty.  It is the intention of attorney Erik Friis to ensure that you are given fair treatment.  If you  are facing criminal charged and / or you have been the victim of police brutality in San Diego our law firm wants to hear from you.

Call (888) 258-6185 to speak with an aggressive  San Diego criminal defense attorney from the Superior Law Center.
