The release of a video on Youtube, by the daughter of a Aransas County Court judge that oversees family court cases beating his sixteen year old daughter with a belt.

The judge is identified as Judge William Adams, who has stated to reporters he does not feel he did anything wrong and was disciplining an unruly child. Hillary Adams, the then sixteen year old is now twenty-three released the video that she hoped would cause her father to get the help that he needs, according to her of the 2004 video.

The video that was released shows the family court judge hitting his daughter not once, but as many as seventeen times during the almost eight minute video that the then teen had made by hiding a video camera on her dresser and covering the light with a scarf. The 23 year old proved that this was not a onetime event of parental abuse.

According to Rockport Police Chief Tim Jayroe, an investigation was opened Wednesday, after receiving calls from concerned citizens. Chief Jayroe stated that 51 year old William Adams was receiving threatening phone calls and faxes at the courthouse after the video was put online.
The mother of Hillary Adams the now 23 year old that suffers from Cerebral Palsy since birth, who was also seen on the video hitting the 16 year old with a belt and telling her to “take it like a woman”, has since divorced the judge and moved out of the family home with a younger daughter. The mother says that she was both brainwashed and controlled by William Adams.

The judge who is now being investigated by several legal agencies had his scheduled hearings canceled for the afternoon Wednesday after the video was released and has since had his cases taken over by another judge for at least two weeks. According to neighbors of the judge he was seen taking hanging clothes, bags, a briefcase, a laptop and between six and eight gun cases from his home on Wednesday afternoon and along with his girlfriend laving.

According to Chief Jayroe the law in Texas sad that parents have the right to discipline their children. The chief said that it is clear what is discipline and what is abuse, about the Adams video. Hillary Adams mother and eleven year old sister are living at an undisclosed location and has apologized to Hillary and has a relationship with the 23 year old. William Adams was reelected as judge one year ago and still has three years left on his election.  What are your feelings about this?  Do you think a man should hit a girl with a belt for 7 minutes?

Defense Says Casey Anthony Video Release Violates HIPAA

Defense Says Casey Anthony Video Release Violates HIPAA

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

A Florida judge said footage of Casey Anthony previously sealed during her trial because it was considered inflammatory could be released. The security video, which has no audio, was taken in the waiting area of a medical facility. It shows Casey Anthony rocking back and forth and struggling to catch her breath when she learns, from a television placed in the room, that remains had been found near the home of Anthony’s parents in Orlando. After collapsing, she immediately requests a meeting with her lawyer. At that point the remains had not yet been identified as Anthony’s daughter, Caylee, who had been missing for six months.

Prosecutors had argued that showing the video to jurors would help prove that Anthony knew the remains were that of Caylee, and was reacting to the negative impact this development would have on her case. They compared Anthony’s reaction in the video to another incident, in which Anthony had remained calm and unemotional when other remains, that turned out not to be Caylee, had been previously found.

Until Friday, the footage had been sealed. On Friday, Judge Belvin Perry ruled that the tape could be unsealed because, “The reason for sealing it—Ms. Anthony’s right to a fair trial—is no longer applicable because the trial has been completed and she has been acquitted of all charges other than lying to law enforcement officers.”

Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, argued that the tape should remain sealed, and that to unseal it would violate Anthony’s privacy under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), because Anthony was in a medical facility when the video was taken. Under the Act, patients have the right to privacy concerning their medical records and data.

Anthony was given a sedative in the waiting room after learning remains had been found. Baez argued that a videotape of Anthony receiving treatment in a medical facility violated her privacy.

Perry said that Anthony was not, in fact, in a medical facility. She was in a waiting room. The administration of the sedative did not transform the waiting room into a medical facility. Furthermore, Perry said the video could not be construed as medical data or medical records, and in no way related to the evaluation of Anthony’s physical or mental condition. And if that weren’t enough, Perry stated that Anthony was not entitled to privacy under HIPAA while in jail.

Know Your HIPAA Rights

While Baez’s argument didn’t hold much water in this situation, it’s important that you are aware of your own rights under HIPAA, especially if you’ve been in an accident and are dealing with insurance companies.

If an insurance company asks for information related to your diagnosis and treatment, it’s very important that you understand what they are entitled to, and what they are not.

Most of what you need to know is located in Title II of HIPAA, and specifically discusses Protected Health Information, which is defined as information about health status, provision of health care, or payment for health care. A New Jersey personal injury attorney can help you demystify this portion of HIPAA, so that your rights are protected.

You should already be somewhat familiar with the Privacy Rule, as doctors are now required to give you the privacy notification when you visit. Health insurers are also required to share the privacy notification with you when you sign on to your plan. There are four points to become familiar with.

A healthcare provider may disclose Protected Health Information to obtain treatment, health care operations, or payment, or if they have obtained authorization from the individual.A healthcare provider must notify patients of how their Personal Health Information will be used, and must make an effort to disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to achieve its purpose.The healthcare provider must have a complaint process in place if the individual feels his or her Protected Health Information has been improperly distributed.If the patient feels the healthcare provider is not abiding the Privacy Rule, he or she can file an official complaint with the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

If you’ve recently been injured in an accident and believe that your HIPAA rights have been violated, you may be due civil penalties. Contact New Jersey accident attorneys to discuss your legal options.

Video Shows Cyclist Intentionally Hit By Pickup Truck Driver

Video Shows Cyclist Intentionally Hit By Pickup Truck Driver

Posted On: September 28, 2011 by Mark A. Anderson

If you’re in a car which is involved in a multi-vehicle traffic collision, the chances are high that you’re going to suffer some very serious injuries and need the services of an experienced Dallas-Fort Worth personal injury attorney. Imagine then, how much worse your injuries might be if you were riding a motorcycle or a bicycle with virtually no protection, let alone such luxuries as safety belts or air bags. North Texas motorists are notorious for not paying attention or taking proper care when driving around motorcyclists, and as a Tarrant County accident and injury lawyer, I am concerned about the safety of regular cyclists too as their number is expected to rise with the increased number of bike lanes in both Fort Worth and Arlington.

Perhaps the greatest challenge is educating drivers of cars and trucks not only on how the importance of remaining highly aware of their two-wheeled fellow road users, but also on cyclists’ right to be on the road in the first place. Unfortunately, when it comes to city streets, bike riders are often treated as first class citizens. Drivers think nothing of driving too close for comfort to cyclists, speeding past or even of parking or otherwise blocking the designated bike lanes. This is not just a problem in Dallas-Fort Worth, but in all American cities.

The video below shows perhaps the worst example of a motorist who not only fails to respect a cyclist’s right to be on the road but who actually intentionally hits him then drives off. The video, which was shot in Washington DC, clearly shows that the cyclists is passing a series of parked vehicles when a pickup driver verbally and physically assaults him, resulting in the cyclist crashing to the road and the hit-and-run driver disappearing into the distance.

Unbelievably, despite the video evidence of the assault and an independent witness who confirmed the wreck was intentionally caused by the pickup driver, no assault charges were brought against the dangerous motorist. That is ridiculous, disgusting and absolutely absurd!

Seattle Employment Attorney | Starbucks Employee Fired for Parody Video

Seattle Employment Attorney | Starbucks Employee Fired for Parody Video

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

As a Seattle employment attorney, I know firsthand how miserable an employer’s actions and policies can make a worker, and how much that distress at work can impact the worker’s entire life.  We spend a huge amount of our time and energy at our jobs, in fact for many of us, work takes up more time than any other activity.  Depending on our work environment, that can mean a very large amount of satisfaction, enjoyment, stress, or, unfortunately, misery.  The Seattle Times reports on the way one employee at a Starbucks Coffee store in Chowchilla, CA chose to vent some of the stress that his job created for him.  Barista Christopher Cristwell posted a video on YouTube in which he sings about his job.  After being seen on a popular Starbucks blog, the video caught the attention of Starbucks executives, and, after meeting with managers, the decision was made to fire Mr. Cristwell, who appears, based on his comments to the press, to hold no obvious animosity toward the company.

Employment issues comprise a very complicated area of law, particularly in Washington State, in which workers are employed at-will.  At-will employment is itself a complex concept, but its most notable features are probably the fact that either employees or employers may, in many cases, terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason or for no reason.  In plain English, employees can quit or be fired at any time.  Of course, there are specific situations in which this is not the case, and extreme circumstances which complicate the issue.  Certainly, there are still behaviors which employers are not free to engage in.  Also, there are situations that can arise between coworkers which employers are obligated to get involved in to prevent unsafe or abusive work environment.

Your place of employment is an extremely important part of your life.  You spend a huge amount of time there, the way you are treated can severely impact (positively or negatively) your emotional health, and it is very important that your workplace be an environment that does not cause problems in the rest of your life.  If you believe that your work place is unsafe or abusive, contact a Seattle employment attorney who can work with you to understand the law as it applies to your case.  Darryl Parker is an experienced, aggressive attorney who will evaluate your situation, and fight for your rights.  For more information, and a FREE CONSULTATION, contact Darryl at Premier Law Group at (206)285-1743.
