Psycholinguistics
A relatively new and fascinating area of criminal analysis involves the examination of the psychology of language, called psycholinguistics. This discipline – involving linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science – examines different aspects of human speech: phonetic (sounds), syntax (patterns); semantics (meanings); morphology (word structures); pragmatics (context).

Capital Mitigation Investigations
The United States Supreme Court has affirmed the ethical and legal obligation of defense counsel to conduct a complete mitigation investigation in death penalty cases.
Mitigating evidence in a capital trial can literally mean the difference between life and death for a defendant.
This critical evidence may include details about a defendant's life that puts into context his actions, and casts guilt, if any, in a different light. A complete mitigation investigation must also be completed before the court can consider expert testimony.Call Archangel Investigations today to speak with a capital mitigation investigator: 1-888-392-5934.
Cause and Manner of Death
Determining the precise reason a person stops living is a science, although not exactly an exact one.
The two terms that are used to make this determination are "cause and manner of death," and both are addressed individually in the Death Certificate.

Victory over Dauphin County CYS
Commonwealth v. D.W. (Court of Common Pleas, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and appeal of CYS finding of abuse, 2008) - This case began when the ex-wife of Dennis Boyle's (www.dennisboylelaw.com) client's husband accused his client of sexually abusing her step-son. As a result of the ex-wife's report, Dauphin County Children & Youth Services ("CYS") took custody of the step-son and his two brothers, placing them in foster care. The police and district attorney's office also began investigations, and the ex-wife filed a Protection From Abuse ("PFA") Petition on behalf of the step-son. Attorney Boyle become involved in the case at its inception. Following a hearing on the PFA, attorney Boyle succeeded in convincing the Judge to dismiss the PFA. Archangel Investigations was then able to develop information showing that the ex-wife had a history of making false sexual abuse allegations and found witnesses that saw the ex-wife coaching the children. CYS withdrew its dependence petition at the pre-trial conference, and the police and district attorney decided not to prosecute. Even so, CYS made a finding of "founded" with respect to the abuse, causing the client substantial hardship. Attorney Boyle appealed that finding to the Department of Public Welfare, which has jurisdiction over CYS agencies. An administrative law judge found no evidence of abuse, reversed the finding, and cleared the client of any suspicion of wrong doing.

Mortgage Woes
4/30/2008
Just the tip of the iceberg?
Pay option ARMS were written well into 2007. Though not as popular in Central PA as in some other areas, these mortgages have the very real potential to continue to create problems for the banking and real estate industry for the next twelve months.
With the Fedetal Reserve indicating that it is ending it's efforts to push down short-term interest rates, look for sharp increase in the money supply to continue to ignite inflationary fears. If the FED really steps aside, interest rates will rise and we predict many Pay Option ARM holders will be forced into foreclosure as their monthly payments exploded due to interest accumulation.
The folowing is an explanation provided by a Lancaster mortgage industry executive:
"The payment options (for Pay Option ARM's) included a fully amortized payment, an interest only payment, or a payment based on a pay rate of 1-2% with negative amortization. So if the actual rate was 7% based on an index of 4% and a margin of 3% and the customer wanted to pay 2% then the other 5% was added to the balance. They allowed up to a 20% increase in the balance. People were told they could make the minimum payment based on the 1-2% rate for 5 years. However, the margins were often set so high that the interest accumulation forced the payment to increase very quickly and the actual rate was 9,10,11%. A large percentage of these people could have easily qualifed for a 6% fixed rate at the time they chose the Pay Option ARM's."

3. PUBLIC RECORDS
Freedom of Information and Pennsylvania Right-to-Know
One of the most important resources for an investigator is the public document. A public document is a document that emanates from, and is held by a governmental agency. There are federal and state "Right to Know" laws that recognize and allow citizen access to some of these documents.
