A surprising 57 people were arrested on Monday morning in La Porte and Porter counties in Indiana. Many of them had been turned in by neighbors suspicious of their behavior. Beyond cooperation from the population, there was also an unusual amount of teamwork on display between different police departments and levels of bureaucracy. The people arrested have been charged with a variety of drug-related crimes. Among the most serious are accusations of selling the highly addictive drugs heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine. If you have been accused of a drug related crime, you need an educated and passionate defense attorney to protect your legal rights.

In 2005, Lena Driskell of Atlanta, GA was convicted of killing her boyfriend Herman Winslow when she suspected him of seeing other women. She used an antique handgun in the assault, shooting him up to four times. She was 78 at the time; Winslow was 85. Last Friday Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville agreed to let Driskell have a new trial, saying that her previous attorneys did not adequately defend her in court. Driskell originally tried to plead not guilty by reason of insanity, but was given a life sentence. If you have been charged with murder or a related crime, you need a good defense attorney.

The trial of 4 foot 10, 59 year old Consuelo Carreto Valencia began in Brooklyn on July 22, about a year after Valencia was extradited from Mexico. She is accused of running a prostitution ring along with her sons, nephews and a daughter-in-law, lying to young Mexican women and coercing them to move to New York to work in brothels. Valencia allegedly kept nearly all of the money earned by these women, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars from their exploitation. Valencia maintains her innocence, claiming that all of these charges have been fabricated by the mother of one of the prostitutes, who is supposedly acting on a personal grudge. Two of Valencia's sons, Josue Flores Carreto and Gerardo Flores Carreto have already plead guilty to human trafficking, earning them 50 years in prison.
