wmw999 2,545 #5 April 25, 2012 Here is a discussion thread. Still sounds like overkill, but also there's a whole lot more to it than "got off the airplane and went the wrong way." Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

434 2 #7 April 25, 2012 I could not find anything there that should give him anything else than a ticket! Ridiculous case, Even the arrest seems overkill iteslf! Google translation for the VG article US. expert: Lars Farm ruling is grotesque Professor and U.S. expert Ole Moen think John Christopher Lars Farm (33) reeling from the judge in the state to be re-elected this year. 33-year-old was already found guilty of bodily harm with a deadly weapon - against six Americans, hence the indirect two small children. The deadly weapon is the car he was driving. The incident took place in the small town of Winslow 24 september last year, and the trial was at the end of March. In the U.S. states, including Arizona, responsibility for criminal law and criminal justice system as long as the federal issues are involved. - Marking Requirements Professor and U.S. expert Ole Moen characterizes the case against the Norwegian who horrible. He has lived in Arizona, and driven through the town in which the northern man was sentenced Tuesday. It is a "law and order system". Arizona has moved in the conservative and restrictive direction in recent years. The governor, judges and persons in the police is also up for election. It may be a need they have to mark and position themselves so they are extra tough the Lars farm, thinks Moen and adds: U.S. EXPERTS: Ole Moen has lived in Arizona and believes the matter mother Lars Farm is grotesque. Photo: Geir Olsen, VG - He's been defined as a dangerous criminal. I think the whole thing is macabre. The obvious one here would be that he, at worst, given a hefty fine. Can appeal - Lars Farm may appeal. If he is convicted and received sentence, he can go to the appellate court Arizona Court of Appeals. Here, the defendant travel certain legal objections, as the way the trial has been conducted on sentencing and some constitutional issues, explains criminal lawyer Michael Harwin in Tucson, Arizona, told VG. Harwin has not brought with him the story of Lars farm, but soon the lawyer says that some people experience severe judgment. UD: Will follow up Assistant Director of the Foreign Affairs, Frode Andersen, told the AP that the Foreign Ministry will continue to provide consular assistance to the Lars farm. - He has been followed up by our consultant in the area, and from our consulate general in San Francisco. It is common consular monitoring of Norwegians who are arrested abroad, we help them with government relations and visits to prison, he said. He believes it is premature to speculate about the Lars farm can be delivered to Norway. This judgment is not appealed and is not yet final. The type of questions can not be decided until a final which, says Andersen. Under the ruling the judge said Tuesday evening that he had taken into account that no one was injured, but since more people were traumatized, Lars Farm 7.5 years in prison. - The witnesses are lying His mother told AP that she thinks the sentence is amazing. - I can not believe it's true. I think it is, but I am completely stunned. He has not done this, and the witnesses are lying, says Liv Lars farm. She has spent 200,000 to get his son acquitted and has asked Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, for help. Defender Chris Candelaria believes that this is a misconception that is blown out of proportion. - Unfortunately, some crying witnesses and referee, he says Candelaria. Drove wrong There were 24 september last year that 33-year-old and his mother was driving on Interstate 40 through the Arizona desert. Just before Winslow began a lamp to light the car. But her mother, who was driving, something went wrong, and she drove the car right in the middle of the discount at the exit to Winslow. The two obtained a rental car, but when they came back to Winslow to pick up your luggage in the wrecked car, started the nightmare. Lars Farm ran against one-way streets no. It was full of people in town because of a music festival. Many reacted to the Lars farm drove in the wrong direction. It was noisy, and Lars Farm received a blow in the face that broke his nose. Then he drove away in a wild pace. The court found that he had tried to hurt people on purpose when he fled. Although he claims that he tried to get away. The 29th March he was found guilty of so-called "aggravated assault" - attempted grievous bodily harm with the use of deadly weapons - against six Americans. Have ended up in trouble several times TURNED DOWN: When John Christopher Lars Farm was arrested in Winslow last year, he and his mother Liv was on his way to Chicago. There, he prosecuted two people who in 2002 knocked him down during a run in Illinois, where he studied. The incident should have given Lars Farm neck injuries. That same year, Professor Anders Bratholm a book about John Christopher Lars Farm and mother. BULLIED: In December 2001, John Christopher Lars Farm awarded 30,000 kroner in criminal injuries compensation because he was attacked by bullies at a school in Oslo. After that his mother was present in the VG and talked about what she characterized as a bully hell that her son had been exposed. Bullying was so bad that his son moved to the United States. Cast out in September the same year, the then bioengineering student accused of being a potential terrorist and thrown out of studies at the University of South Alabama. The then 22-year-old Lars Farm later sued the university, so he could continue his studies at another U.S. university. http://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/artikkel.php?artid=10050036 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
