The two were married in December 2009, but in March of 2011, he filed for divorce. The two continued to live together, however, and on July 11, the couple had a fight about a future house guest. After drugging her husband, Kieu waited until he was asleep [...]

Feb 26, 2013

Sexual Abuse

Recently, a 56-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in her South Loop garage by a man wielding a gun. Chicago police are now searching for the offender. Clearly, apprehending any perpetrator guilty of sexual assault should be a high priority for law enforcement officials.

Fifteen May Not Get You Twenty – But the Penalties Are Still Too Severe To Risk

Jan 16, 2013

Sexual Abuse

There used to be a crass saying in the dating world of young men that “fifteen will get you twenty.” The meaning was that if you were dating a 15-year-old, she was young enough to earn you jail time – the equivalent of 20 years worth – if her parents wanted to press statutory rape charges. Although the 20-year figure was a bit over the top, the fact remains that if you are charged in Chicago with aggravated criminal sexual [...]

What Happens If You Aren’t Read Your Miranda Rights in IL?

February 16, 2020 Criminal Defense | Miranda Rights

It’s a common trope in crime TV: someone is arrested and they’re told they have the right to remain silent, among other things.

This is what most people think of when they hear the term “Miranda Rights,” and these rights are legally guaranteed to all US citizens should they be arrested. There’s more to your Miranda rights than simply not having to speak, though.
