New York – A woman accused of stalking actor Alec Baldwin, spoke briefly about her expectations for the outcome of the case during a court appearance on Monday. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), an attorney for Canadian actress Genevieve Sabourin indicated that the actress’ purpose for contacting the “30 Rock” star prior to her arrest last month was legitimate.

Sabourin was reportedly arrested in April for sending several emails to Baldwin containing pleas to contact and marry her. She is also reported to have shown up at the star’s apartment building and a screening hosted by him uninvited.

Sabourin’s attorney, Maurice Sercarz, is quoted by the AP as stating after Monday’s hearing, “There was no effort at harassment, and there was no stalking here…My client had a legitimate purpose for her efforts to contact Mr. Baldwin.”

Baldwin recently became engaged to Hilaria Thomas, a yoga instructor.

New York – Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has taken civil legal action against a maid who previously accused him of sexual assault. As reported by ABC News, the million-dollar countersuit against the hotel maid who accused Strauss-Kahn of attempted rape last year was filed this week in the Bronx.

As noted in the report, New York City hotel maid, Nafissatou Diallo, claimed Strauss-Kahn attempted to sexually assault her inside of a room at the Sofitel in Times Square. The accusation and indictment of Strauss-Kahn reportedly hurt his political career. Charges against him were dropped when issues arose regarding Diallo’s credibility.

Strauss-Kahn’s lawsuit is quoted in the report as stating, “Ms. Diallo’s conduct… was so outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized society.”

Texas – A recent probe suggests a man was wrongly executed for another person’s crime in Texas in 1989. As reported by AFP, Columbia School of Law professor James Liebman and five of his students researched the case of Carlos DeLuna, who was executed for the 1983 murder of a single mother, for five years and released their findings in a 780 page report on Tuesday.

The report, “Los Tocayos Carlos: Anatomy of a Wrongful Execution,” suggests the sentencing of 27-year-old DeLuna to death was based solely on eyewitness accounts and an investigation that was not deemed thorough.

A statement released with the report is quoted as stating of the case, “Unfortunately, the flaws in the system that wrongfully convicted and executed DeLuna — faulty eyewitness testimony, shoddy legal representation and prosecutorial misconduct — continue to send innocent men to their death today.”

Tennessee – A man has been arrested in connection with a crime that was purportedly committed by his twin brother, who is now deceased. As reported by KSEE News, Mitch Torbett was arrested in Tennessee on a warrant linked to a federal crime committed in Louisiana years ago. Torbett’s twin, Mike, who passed away two years ago, was listed on an affidavit for the crime; however, an issue with mistaken identity led to Mitch being arrested and spending several hours in jail before things were sorted out.

Torbett is now reportedly planning to file a civil suit for the false arrest. He is quoted in the report as stating of the matter, “Emotionally, I can’t even put it into words… If they would’ve trusted me, if they would’ve given me the benefit of the doubt, if they would’ve done that, none of this would’ve happened.”

Albany, New York – The family of a woman killed in a fatal accident is suing the Department of Transportation, alleging that the state transportation engineer who purportedly caused the wreck was intoxicated while driving a state vehicle. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), the lawsuit filed by the estate of Nancy McQueeny asserts that the employers of 79-year-old Wendell Strum, who was also killed in the vehicle accident, had knowledge of Strum’s history of drinking while on the job.

As noted in the report, toxicology reports indicted Strum was legally intoxicated at the time of the accident. His vehicle hit McQueeny’s after crossing into an oncoming lane.

James Gleason, an attorney with the law firm representing the family of McQueeny, is quoted by the AP as stating, “It is disconcerting that a state employee is intoxicated in the middle of the afternoon, driving a state vehicle.”

Strum had reportedly been employed by the Department of Transportation for 57 years.

Entities in terms of search are any items that have a real world existence that may be queried by users. For example, if the term “personal injury lawyer” is searched, traditional query results may have included items that represented the words “personal” “injury” and “lawyer” as separate terms. However, the new algorithm changes aid the search engine in understanding it and other long-tail keywords as one meaningful phrase.

With summer fast approaching, Dallas, Texas employment lawyer Keith Clouse offers the following tips for employers to help them embrace the summer season while remaining compliant with state and federal employment laws.

 
1. If you plan to hire an unpaid summer intern, know the laws regarding unpaid internships.
2. If you plan to hire seasonal workers, be sure that your policies and procedures address temporary workers. For example, these workers may not qualify for the benefits offered to other employees.
3. If you allow your employees to dress more casually in the summer, remind them that their casual dress must still convey a professional image.
4. Anticipate vacation requests and have a plan for handling them. Many employees ask for time off in the summer. To avoid understaffing and the appearance of favoritism, make sure that your vacation policies are solid and communicated in advance to your employees.
