Killer in The Bronx Also Mutilates Girlfriend’s Body

by Stephen Bilkis

The suspect in the case of a man who stabbed his girlfriend to death did not only stab her. He didn’t even try to merely decapitate her. He attempted to destroy her face as well.

“It was pure anger,” a police source told New York Criminal Lawyers. The victim’s body was found, covered with blood, in an apartment on the Lower East Side. “He didn’t want her to leave and he didn’t want her to be beautiful for anyone else.”

According to the police, the 33-year-old suspect used several knives to slash his 23-year-old girlfriend, in a fit of rage. At one point, he cut her so hard that the tip broke from one of the blades.

Children of violent custody battles in Colorado suffer long term emotional damage

by Stephen Bilkis

Though divorce is more commonplace now than it ever has been, experts agree that it is still not a healthy example to set for a child. However, while most children come out the other side of divorce relatively unscathed, children of violent and particularly hostile custody battles suffer long term emotional effects, expressed a New York Criminal Lawyer. Children take their cues from the adults in their lives, and violence and hostility between the parents often becomes a pattern that is repeated throughout the adult life of the child.

A Colorado man was arrested last month after he stabbed another man in front of his ex-wife and child in a custody dispute. Police reports say the man accused of the stabbing was seen arguing with his ex-wife in front of their child and the woman’s friend. The fight escalated and when the woman’s friend tried to intervene, the irate ex-husband stabbed him and then proceeded to grab the young child and drive off with him.

The child was returned unharmed several hours later, but not before a 4 hour manhunt ensued, related the N York Criminal Lawyer. It is easy to understand how the effects of witnessing something so devastating as one’s father stabbing another man could be harmful, even detrimental to that child’s psyche and sense of right and wrong. As parents, it is our responsibility to mirror to our children the behaviors that we would like for them to exhibit when they are an adult. In this case, that child’s father has a lot of making up to do.

A Fort Meyers father is pursued following alleged abduction of his son across state lines

by Stephen Bilkis

Following an intense situation of alleged parental child abduction, a man from Fort Meyers is said to have been found along with his son in the state of Michigan, to the joy of the boy’s mother.

Last October, a young boy in the midst of his parents’ divorce was abducted by his father following a warrant for the father’s arrest. The father and mother had previously divorced, and were sharing legal custody of the child in the form of legal visits with the father. When the father discovered that a warrant was issued for his arrest, he panicked. Following the confirmation of this warrant by way of a patrol car visible near the mother’s home, the father proceeded to flee with the boy.

It is the testimony of the mother that both father and son from Fort Meyers have been found in Michigan; however, as noted by a NY Criminal Lawyer, authorities have not verified this testimony on the part of the mother, who when asked to comment, replied, “I’ve been hoping for this every day. Today is the best day ever.”

New Jersey Steps Up Effort to Stop Hate Crimes

by Stephen Bilkis

Two separate incidents of what appeared to be racially motivated deaths in the state of New Jersey have prompted that state’s attorney general to call for more understanding within the community and a greater appreciation for the plight that many undergo every day, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. The incidents were not directly related but both featured immigrants being beaten to death by gangs of thugs, reported a New York Criminal Lawyer. While the attorney general said that neither beating rose to the level of being considered a “bias crime” (or more commonly a hate crime) the state’s chief legal counsel still urged the state’s residents to consider what immigrants are going through as they assimilate into a new culture, noted a New York Criminal Lawyer.

Both attacks saw men, proud fathers and husbands, beaten for random reasons. Gangs of teenagers are believed to be the culprits and are currently in custody, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. The attorney general and the attorney general’s office have been working closely with those in the community. Religious and secular leaders have been asked to lend their support as the state of New Jersey battles a trend they hope will not rise, reports a New York Criminal Lawyer. Additionally, law enforcement officers around the state have been asked to help crack down on the problem. New Jersey specifically created a commission in 1997 to deal with just these kinds of matters, so this has been an ongoing problem for some time. Authorities are confident that those who acted will be punished accordingly.

If you have been accused of a hate crime, or any crime, you have rights that need to be protected. Contact a New York Criminal Attorney today.
