JUSTICE FOR ALL ACT OF 2004 The federal Justice For All Act of 2004 (PL 108-405) enhances protections for victims of federal crimes and increases federal resources available to state and local governments to combat crime. Title I of the act, the "Scott Campbell, Stephanie Roper, Wendy Preston, Louarna Gillis, and Nila Lynn Crime Victims' Rights Act," requires courts to ensure that crime victims are afforded the rights the act prescribes. It specifies that a crime victim, his lawful representative, or the attorney for the government may assert the rights in U. S. District Court. If the requested relief is denied, the movant may petition the court of appeals for a writ of mandamus, which the appeals court must decide within 72 hours. A court's failure to afford a crime victim his rights is not grounds for a new trial, but a victim can move to reopen a plea or a sentence on that basis. The act does not authorize a cause of action for damages or create, enlarge, or imply any duty or obligation to any victim or other person for any breach by federal government officers or employees (§ 102). The act appropriates $ 7 million for fiscal year 2005 and $ 11 million each for fiscal years 2006-2009, in part, for the support of state organizations that enforce crime victims' rights and provide legal counsel and support services. The states where these organizations are located must have laws substantially equivalent to the federal law (§ 103).

Crimes Causing Harm to Property Depending on the value of the property involved, as well as the level of violence, most property crimes fall into the category of felony in Texas. The legal definition of theft is unlawfully taking the property of another person with the intent to deprive the other person of the property. This definition is much broader than what most people think of as theft. It includes embezzlement, keeping found property without making a reasonable attempt to find its rightful owner, obtaining the services of another person or telecommunication services by fraud, shoplifting, unauthorized access to credit cards, and writing bad checks. Robbery is similar to theft; in fact, theft is a part of robbery. A person commits robbery if, during a theft, he or she intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another person, threatens a person, or places another person in fear of immediate injury or death. Aggravated robbery, which is a felony of the first degree, is a robbery in which a person is seriously injured or in which the defendant uses a deadly weapon. If the robbery causes fear of immediate injury or death to a victim who is 65 years of age or older, or who has a mental, physical, or developmental disability, the crime also constitutes an aggravated robbery. Burglary is entering into a building, portion of a building, or habitation with the intent to commit theft or a felony there. Not only is it burglary to enter a house unlawfully with the intent to steal money or property, but it is also burglary to enter with the intent to commit a felony such as arson or murder.

In addition to the rights and services generally available to all crime victims by statute, legislators at both the federal and state levels have enacted laws that provide special protections and privileges to elderly victims of crime. Much of this legislation simply modifies or extends existing general victims' rights legislation to address the special needs of older victims.

1999 Stalking Law changes. 1) Menacing by Stalking, a misdemeanor 1st degree, is enhanced on a second offense to a felony 5th degree regardless of whether the offenses involved the same victim. Multiple convictions of telephone harassment, regardless if the same victim is involved, is also a felony (except when there are only threats to property). (Eff. 3-30-99) 2) Stalking is enhanced to a Felony 4th degree for any of the nine factors listed in Section (B)(2), including priors, use of threats, trespassing, victim is a minor, history of violence, had a weapon, under protection order, serious damage to property, or prior mental illness. Bail may be denied (ORC 2937.222(A)) when stalking is a felony. The Criminal Stalking Protection Order has been expanded to include "the alleged victim or a family or household member of an alleged victim," who may request the order, must then be protected, and must be provided a copy of the protection order (2903.213(A) to (D) & (G) and 2919.26(A) to (D), (G), &(I). (eff.10-27-99) 1999 - Penalty for hit and skip drivers is increased to a felony. Drunk drivers were leaving the accident scene for two hours and then turning themselves in, since leaving the scene was a lesser crime than being tested and convicted for a DUI. (O.R.C 4511.75, 4549.99 - Eff. 3-22-99) 1998 - A new Civil Stalking Protection Order allows a Common Pleas Court to issue a stalking protection order regardless of whether or not criminal charges are filed against the alleged offender. The law also specifically states that an invitation by the victim does not nullify the order and that victim advocates are allowed to accompany the victim throughout the proceedings. (ORC 2930.214, Eff. 7-29-98) 1998 - Due to problems with judges dismissing domestic violence cases against the prosecutors wishes, the law was amended so that a judge does not have the authority to dismiss criminal charges solely at the request of the complaining w

Brian Floyd and Rod Pacheco in Homicide of Nye Frank cover up. Audio and sheriff video show very clearly the corruption and in the connection to Probate courts. But that is a group that the Judge in Riverside County told Lee Frank I doubt if you can find a attorney, doubt if you can afford a attorney, and if you pursue this can lose everything including your house. Then the Supervisors, Coroner, APS, Prosecutor, D Victim Advocates, Chief DA Mike Rushton promoted to made a false statement of fact into court. We were prevented from filing a Lemine by the clerk but was able to get internal affairs misconduct department to serve the County Council directly. Rod Pacheco claimed privacy in a whistle blower case. Elder victims are a easy target when the DA does not give crime case numbers to the crime in a abuse of his position. This is what DA Nefong got removed for not showing all evidence. This case is also one in that FBI rules to close cases and seal them rules violated. Hold officials accountable and the newspapers to report real news. "These are not the masterminds," District Attorney Rod Pacheco said Tuesday in a phone interview. "These are the folks who helped the masterminds." http://www.pe.com/localnews/rivcounty/stories/PE_News_Local_S_websj.2219fc8.html
