Manhunt continues for bondsmen shooter: "27-year-old Arthur Basaldua is no stranger to the law and, the FBI and Iberia parish sheriff's department want to get to know him a whole lot better. Basaldua remains on the run Tuesday, less than 24 hours after allegedly shooting two bail bondsmen at point-blank range. The sheriff's office says he's armed, dangerous and desperate to dodge the law.
Basaldua is accused of shooting the bail bondsmen at his trailer outside Loreauville. Sheriff Sid Hebert says after about an hour of discussions, Basaldua pulled out a gun and opened fire. The bondsmen survived the attack. Basaldua fled into the night.
Early Tuesday morning the sheriff's office arrested 24-year-old Israel Perez, a friend of Basaldua's. He's accused along with 21-year-old Dusty Nash of helping the suspect make his escape. Nash and Perez are charged with accessory to attempted first-degree murder.
Arthur Basaldua has had some recent brushes with the law. He and Israel Perez were busted in late February after allegedly tossing 24,000 dollars worth of methamphetamine out of a car window in Youngsville."

Evacuees say bondsmen keep them behind bars
LOCAL NEWS | KHOU.com | News for Houston, Texas: "Pam Chriss feels like she’s been robbed twice – first by Hurricane Katrina, and now by the justice system.
“We’re not treated equally at all,” Chriss, a Katrina evacuee, said. “I’m very angry … That’s my child. My child is gone. I’m very angry.”
Chriss’ son, Melvin, has remained behind bars ever since he was arrested on a weapons offense last November. She say she was unable to secure bond because local bondsmen refused to work with her.
“I know we are treated differently because we’re from Louisiana,” Chriss said.
Claims like Chriss’ are not uncommon. Other Katrina evacuees say they have loved ones stuck in jail because they were never given the opportunity to post the customary 10 percent bond."

Late Jack Camp is missed
Albany Herald 20070318n3.htm: "Most everyone was jovial at Saturday’s Snickers Marathon Energy Bar Marathon Volunteers Appreciation event, but a noticeable presence was missing from the event.
Jack Camp, one the event’s most key figures, was killed this week while trying to make contact with a suspicious person near the Regency Club Apartments in East Albany.
Sara Underdown, one of the event’s organizers said that Camp’s murder cast a somber shadow over Saturday’s event.
“We had kind of planned to make this something fun and lighthearted to thank our volunteers,” Underdown said. “But you can’t help but think of Camp, who really was the definition of a volunteer.”
Underdown said that Camp was on the marathon, half-marathon, fun run and bike race’s organizer’s committee and was a key part to success of the event.
“He had helped us last year with the bike race and I saw him Tuesday was a week ago at our wrap up meeting,” Underdown said. “It’s just so sad to know that our community has lost someone like Jack Camp. It’s a real shame.”"

Since You Asked: A cancer on criminal justice
Mail Tribune - Since You Asked: A cancer on criminal justice - March 17, 2007: "My son is here watching 'Law & Order' and was asking me about how 'bail' works and so on and the conversation leaned into bail bondsmen. There do not seem to be bail bondsmen here in Oregon. Why is that? They have them in other states.
-- Tiamotzz at mailtribune forum.com (other members wondered, too)
We were going to research our answer at nbc.com's 'Law & Order' Web site, Tia, but it crashed our KayPro II (check it: 2.5 MHz Zilog Z80 processor, 64K of RAM, dual Tandon SS/DD 51/4 floppy drives using 191K floppies, plus a huge 9' green monochrome screen — cherry!), so we reluctantly forwarded this to our Since You Asked: Special Victims Unit.
Oregon made it clear in a 1978 Oregon Supreme Court decision that the services of bail bondsmen and their bounty hunter partners are not welcome here. So you won't be seeing Duane 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Chapman, his sons, or his wife, Beth Smith Chapman, unless they're here to sample our fine selection of merlot.
'Oregon basically set up a system where they aren't necessary,' Jackson County District Attorney Mark Huddleston said."

Strange Twist of Fate: Bail Bondsman on The Run
Strange Twist of Fate: Bail Bondsman on The Run | WOAI.COM: San Antonio News: "A man known for helping accused criminals get out of jail is now a wanted man himself.
Investigators say Emerson Vance owes millions to taxpayers in Bexar County.

Ultimately, Vance's license was revoked by the Bexar County Bail Bond Board. Investigators have been trying for months to track him down."

Legal Technology - E-Lawyering Requires Rethinking Technology and Law: "Those three words, wafting on the familiar, buoyant tones of the actor saying them, have staying power. No survivor of the dot-com boom of the 1990s could forget William Shatner's ubiquitous ads on behalf of a certain online travel company.
Indeed, online booking did change the travel industry. When was the last time anyone had a paper ticket, or called a human travel agent just to check flight times? Buyers and sellers of books, music and news all have seen the same cataclysm in their business models -- a subtle but certain shift from dialing a phone number or visiting a store to signing in, logging on and clicking a mouse.
And, in fact, e-commerce lawyers are included in this migration to technology. Just as e-commerce has disrupted the travel, music, book and news retailing industries, the influence of technology on business and the law has also wrought havoc on our legal system. Certainly, the law has always had to adapt specific rules for new technology."

She claims she was paid thousands of dollars to pick up potential customers and negotiate deals with them. She had no license And knew it wasn't legal. She was paid under the table and in cash.
'It depends on the bond,' the woman said. 'One bond, he collected ten-thousand on it and paid me 37-hundred.'

The Idaho Press-Jail annex gets renovation to house 74 inmates
The Idaho Press-Tribune: "Canyon County’s old jail annex will once again be filled with inmates today after the aging structure was aired out, got a cosmetic makeover, and rendered fit for reuse again since it was closed last summer.
On Monday, county officials took reporters on a tour of the renovated annex, which will house up to 74 inmates on three floors. Renovations are also planned at the main jail in the coming months.
“What some of this has done is free up a bunch of space over there,” Canyon County Sheriff Chris Smith said in reference to the main jail. “The detention staff and building maintenance have identified some free space that could be put to better use.”
For example, he said, shifting the laundry room from the main jail to the annex frees up space in the kitchen area for cold storage and a new dishwashing system.
Other improvements at the annex will allow for more office space and an area for pre -trial release and bail-bond agents to meet with clients via video at the main jail. Those improvements have begun and will take several months to complete, Smith said."

School fitness foundation lawsuit settled
Salt Lake Tribune - School fitness foundation lawsuit settled: "Correction: A story in Tuesday's Tribune about the settlement of a lawsuit involving the bankrupt National School Fitness Foundation cited a bankruptcy trustee's allegation of wrongdoing by businessmen Dale Holt and Marc Jenson. While that allegation appeared in a complaint filed on July 5, 2005, the trustee removed the allegation from an amended complaint filed on April 20, 2006.
One lawsuit spawned by the bankruptcy of a Utah company accused of fraudulently selling exercise equipment to more than 600 schools has been resolved in an out-of-court settlement.
In a document filed Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Utah, the court-appointed trustee for the bankrupt National School Fitness Foundation and attorneys for Salt Lake County businessmen Dale Holt and Marc Jenson said a settlement had been reached, eliminating the need for a trial that had been scheduled to begin March 30.
Terms were not disclosed in the court document. Attorneys for trustee R. Kimball Mosier and Holt declined to comment. But Jenson's attorney, Mark James, said the businessmen agreed to pay $130,000 of the $350,000 sought by the trustee. He declined to say how much each defendant paid.
Mosier had sued to collect the money on behalf of the American Fork-based foundation, which sold fitness programs and equipment to schools in Utah and 19 other states."
