In this episode Durell is joined by indie creative Jeiris Cook. Durell and Jeiris begin the episode talking about the importance for some creatives to have a pre-production home studio setup. Durell shares that it very much is common for those who are into production and getting ideas out to be able to at least get the idea down to then be able to go back later and flesh it out fully later. Jeiris says he likes to say that ideas are fleeting and he was reminded of one night when he realized that he heard a song on the radio but didn't realize that it was actually playing in his dream. Durell and Jeiris talk about how much the fall weather is different within their respective cities. Jeiris shares that he comes from a family of vocalists and growing up in Atlanta GA means getting started singing in church. Jeiris talks about being in an R & B group with some of his childhood friends and one of the members really wanting the group to sing Gospel songs but Jeiris didn't feel authentic to singing primarily Gospel because it wasn't an accurate depiction of the emotions that people go through within everyday life. Jeiris shares that some of his 90's R&B influences were groups like Jodeci, Shai, En Vogue and Boyz II Men. He shares that he really loves that these groups would use their voices and harmonize in a unique way to compliment the track and take it to another level.Durell and Jeiris talk about how much music has changed especially now being in the era of the DIY creative. Durell talks about back when record labels controlled the way we consumed music they could actually curate the sound of what would be commercially viable. Jeiris talks about music becoming decentralized and now there are more niches for indie creatives to explore. Durell talks about playlisting being one of the ways that niche artists can really take advantage of building real genuine supporters. Jeiris talks about the origin of the R&B group and how they got started and met their first manager with the goal of attracting a label. He shares that he went through artist development which is something that most creatives don't want to do today. Jeiris shares that life people don't live life in a vacuum and that it's okay that you may go through certain obstacles and challenges along your journey in building a successful music career. He shares that being so open about the things you go through along your own personal journey is something that he recently had to come to grips with being normal practice because he came from a generation where that simply just wasn't done. Durell shares that this generation of creatives are content creators. The content strategy is a must which wasn't done in previous generations of creatives. Durell shares the importance for indie creatives today knowing who their core audience is and having a particular strategy to reach and serve them. Jeiris shares that he took a ten year hiatus from music once the R&B group disbanded. He shares that he met his wife in 2004 and had three boys as well as going back to school where he earned a Master's Degree. He says that around year seven or eight he began to get the bug again to get back into music. He decided to pick up the guitar and learn how to play because he wanted to spend time with his son during his boy scout days around the campfire singing songs. Jeiris shares that once he began to do that he began to start writing songs on the guitar and he knew that he now didn't have to depend on a producer to be able to simply create. He shares that now being in a place to make music in that way really was the driving force behind him developing a passion for music once again. He shares that he began to go to open mics and play where he also was getting great feedback and after that he decided to begin playing at a local farmer's market to test out what he'd been working on. Durell and Jeiris end the episode talking about the importance for indie creatives to look at the business side of their careers. Durell shares that most indie creatives are afraid to sell and they shouldn't be. He also shares that for indie creatives who want to be in this industry and be taken seriously, having a professional presentation in everything they do is paramount. Jeiris shares that he doesn't regret taking the hiatus because he is so happy to have married his beautiful wife and proud of his sons.Durell asks Jeiris about his global fanbase and he shares that when he released his single called “Dreams” in 2020 it received a great reception in the UK which was a surprise to him. Jeiris shares that he initially was just hoping to build enough of a reach in the United States where he could possibly do a tour in the Northeast region. Durell shares the beautiful thing about the internet is that the world can discover great music from indie creatives. Durell shares that he loves Jeiris's latest single “Date Night” Jeiris also talks about the work he does with a great organization called “Musicians On Call ''.For more information on Jeiris Cook, please visit his website:https://jeiriscook.weebly.com/

Morning, afternoon, evening whatever the case maybe, Donna here for you personally!Creative Destruction or Success is define as taking a risk in business and going against the grain.When God created man he took a risk also, in giving man a WILL or some call it a free will, some use that will for selfish reasons, others to inspire, either way WE were BORN-2-B-GREAT!Now, I have three (3) questions for you today:1. Why do you do what you do, meaning what you do that is at a "core level"2. What are you trying to "accomplish" today and the years ahead?3. Would you rather be at war with yourself and at peace with the world or at peace with yourself, and at war with the world?  Most people would answer that they would gladly have peace with the world, But outward peace is not possible if we are at war with ourselves.QUOTES TO INSPIRE:"On a mission your worst enemy is idle time."---Nipsey Hussle"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself.  Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."--- George Bernard Shaw.Dolly Parton said, "If you don't like  the road you're walking, start paving another."And the last inspirational quote is more of a command: " Get up quickly--just switch on the white light of the WILL".---Susan SontagWhen we look at our goals and dreams, to reach them we must have a strategy or a plan, of describing the situation or problems, what tools or tasks to use, take specific actions and finally keep at it until we see positive results/outcome.Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Thanksgiving is a couple days away, and I am so glad Zach announce that he is having something for the holidays at his place. We just had to bring a dish, sodas, or money to chip in for everything. Normally, Zach would take care of the meats, such as brisket, ham, and the turkey. I would do my homemade mac and cheese, Amy made a great green bean casserole, Gary is not a cook, so he was responsible for the drinks. This was the time when the food stamps came in handy, and I could buy extra food, if someone struggle with money issues, and could only buy things like paper plates, napkins, and cups, since those items cannot be bought with them.Therefore, I had to get up quickly from my pity party pit, rise under difficult circumstances, not with a passive complacency, but with a hopeful fortitude that actively resist me being weary and defeated, because it is not over until God says, “it is finished”. And he has already said that, so now it is my turn to show the Holy Spirit what he has been working with.  I have a lot to be thankful for, new friends, having faith for a possible car, getting approved for section 8 or Tulsa Public Housing, and being hired on a job that works well with my school schedule.  Even though, I have suffered so many things, mostly at my own hands God the Holy Spirit has supplied me with justification by faith and manifestation of physical things not short of a miracle. SPIRIT HELP NOTES:Galatians 3:5-6, “Therefore, He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you does He do it by the works of the law; or by the hearing of faith?” Hebrews 10: 35-36, “Therefore do not case away your confidence, which has great reward, for you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God you may receive the promise”.

There are few things more traditional than a Thanksgiving dinner. Things just don’t feel right when something is missing. First of all, you have to have the turkey and all the fixings. Those fixings usually include mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables like beans or squash, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and dessert has to be a pie, generally pumpkin pie ranks high on the list.

The Benefits of Full-Spectrum Hemp with Barbara Goodstein, founder of B GREAT. Their goal at B GREAT is to provide customers with superior quality hemp-based products that they can use with confidence. They are transparent and use only well-tested natural ingredients to enhance body balance from morning to night. B GREAT products work with your body’s endocannabinoid system safely and naturally to rebalance your health and sense of wellbeing. B GREAT's proprietary formulas were developed by a team of scientists, medical practitioners, and ex-pharmaceutical visionaries. Unlike other CBD products, all of their ingredients are natural, grown in the USA, produced in FDA-registered facilities, and are all third-party lab tested. Barbara started B GREAT because she had heard that CBD has wonderful therapeutic benefits, but like many people, she didn’t know which products to choose from. Barbara had never heard of most of the products on the market and she didn’t know what standards they held. She wanted a product that used the highest quality ingredients. Barbara didn’t want to find out that she was taking a synthetic CBD, or that her CBD had been sourced from another country. She learned that many companies use CBD isolate instead of “full-spectrum” hemp and that without full-spectrum hemp, she wouldn’t be getting the benefits of all the nutrients in the plant.

Hi! This podcast episode is from 2 1/2 years ago, when I was still teaching in China. I've been back in the U.S. for almost a year and a half now, teaching online. If you want to talk with me, go to Cambly and sign up for a free trial. On Cambly I specialize in free talk and in IELTS preparation. Here in the U.S. most people are staying home, if they can, because of the coronovirus pandemic. It's very still very serious in many parts of the world, though the good news is that it seems like China is starting to get back to normal. I hope we can all get back to normal soon. I live in a small town, where we have only three cases of COVID-19. I go out once a week to go grocery shopping. Otherwise, I stay at home like we are supposed to. Best wishes to all my listeners, for health and happiness in this difficult time. ----------- LnR 120 (Casual Language) Heads up! A: Wow, that's amazing! I've never seen a double rainbow before. B: It's a first for me, too. That's why I sent messages to you and my other neighbors. A: Yeah, thanks for the heads up, Nancy. I think I've got some good shots of it. B: Great. I know you like to take pictures and play around with photo-editing software. A: Yeah, I use a free online one now, but I want to buy Photoshop soon. Say, how are your classes going? B: I'm almost finished for the term. I just have to give some oral English exams in a couple of days. A: Lucky.  I've got lots of papers to grade, and then final exams. Speaking of papers, I'd better get back to work. B: OK. Hey, heads up! A car's coming! A: Oh, wow, thanks! I didn't see it.

Quick Links:  Jim Stovall The Ultimate Legacy The Ultimate Gift One Season of Hope Brad Post, Create the Movement Dominick Montgomery, Create the Movement Jim Stovall, guest   Brad Post, host, Create the Movement: Welcome to Create the Movement podcast. This is Brad Post. I’m sitting with Dominick Montgomery, our Chief Marketing Officer here. And I also have the honor of introducing our special guest today. He’s a mentor of mine, author of 30 books, seven, working on your seventh movie. Right, Jim? Jim Stovall, here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jim, how are you doing today? Jim Stovall: Great. And it’s wonderful to talk to you. B: Great. Well, I know you and I meet monthly. And, I’m just excited to be a part. You usually give me a book to read, and I read it. J: Yeah. B: You’re still reading a book a day? Or, listening to a book a day? J: Yeah, I read a book everyday. And, I am, it’s embarrassing to tell your audience, as a blind person myself, when I could read with my eyes, I don’t know that I ever read a whole book cover to cover. I thought I was going to be a professional football player. And I was on my way to doing that when I was diagnosed with losing my sight. But now, as blind person, with the new audio technology and being able to speed up the digital audiobooks, I read a book everyday. And it’s been really transformational for me. B: One thing, Jim, that’s always impressed me, just your daily routine. I know people ask you that a lot. Could you kind of run through your daily routine? J: Well, I get up ridiculously early. I get up everyday at four. D: Wow. J: And it’s not like I. We just lost Dominick over here. He didn’t, he thought the only four was the one in the afternoon. B: Right! J: There’s this other one. But, no, I get up early. And it’s not like I suffer or set the alarm. That’s when I wake up. And then, I read generally read a book between then and the time I go to work. And then, my wife and I spend an hour together. Quiet time and just kind of going over the day, and talking about different things. And that’s kind of how I get started in the morning. And then, here in my office, people always wonder, “What do I do?” I run a television network, but I do five things: I do movies, television, books, speeches, and my columns. And I always envision it like a four-sided pyramid with the point on the top, and the point is whatever I’m doing at any given moment. But it needs to support, and be supported, by the other four. So, if I’m making a movie, it’s going to be based on a book I wrote. I’m going to be promoting it on TV. I’m going to write a column about it. And you’re going to hear it in my speeches. And, so, everything supports, and is supported, by everything else I do. D: So, you are a marketing company? J: Yeah, I mean my products do market, you know, the old misnomer that ‘it sells itself.’ You know? I believe that if you set it up right, it does. Because that’s the difference between sales and marketing. Sales is I call you. Marketing is you call me. And I always like it when my phone rings, and that’s a totally different relationship. D: Right. B: And that’s, I really like that. So, it’s just five things that you focus on? J: Yeah. B: You just wake up at four-am to do it? Right? J: Yeah. And, you know, I do my financial transactions at four. I am the only financial investment broker in the world, that he’s in the office at four. B: Right. J: So, we do the Asia thing, and everything else. Yeah, it’s just where I am. And in a way I feel like I’m cheating the world. You know? I get several hours to do what I do that other people don’t. B: Right. D: Sure. B: A couple of other things I wanted to, just kind of mention, Jim. One thing I like about you, too, and this is how you and I originally met, was just your authenticity. In everyone one of your books, I think, you give out your email. Your phone number, and say, “Call me.” J: Yeah, I have 10 million books in print, and my ph...

Michael D. Kenny, Attorney   Brad Post: Welcome to the floridadefense.com podcast. We are speaking to Tampa property crime charges defense attorney Mike Kenny. Mike, how are you doing? Michael D. Kenny, Attorney: I'm doing pretty well. How are you? B: Good. We’re going to be basically talking about the overall theft today. We’ve been in a series over robbery and burglary. Mike is with the Bauer, Crider, and Parry law firm there in Tampa and the surrounding areas. Mike, let’s talk about property crimes today. M: Sure. What we've been talking about for a while, a lot of it centers around theft, the taking of an item. Florida has taken any kind of way you can steal something, whether it be embezzlement, whether it be theft by misrepresentation, and they pretty much put all under this one statute and it starts off at 812.014 in Florida statutes and that's called Theft. It's basically designed to say any time a person takes something knowingly, either permanently, or temporarily, commits a theft. The statute specifically says a person commits a theft if he or she knowingly obtains, or uses, or endeavors to obtain, or to use, the property of another, with the intent to either permanently, or temporarily deprive the other person the right to the property, or benefit from that property. So, that part “endeavors to obtain” that’s even an attempt. In Florida, there is no attempted theft. If you attempt to commit a theft you still fall under that theft statute, if they can prove that you endeavored to take something from someone either permanently or temporarily. That’s your basic theft definition. But, theft is, as you might know, it can vary depending upon the item that is taken. So, there is a large variety of ways a person be prosecuted for a theft. There's two main types of theft. You have your misdemeanor theft which is called petty theft in Florida. Then you have your felony theft which a grand theft in Florida. And that separating line is the minimum to go from a misdemeanor to a felony is $300 or more. So, if a person takes an item that is valued at $300 or more, that person has committed a grand theft which is a third degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. B: $300? Wow, okay. M: That amount can change if the item is taken from a home. If the item is taken from home it is only $100 to be considered a grand theft. Now, there are two types of misdemeanors. There is a first degree misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. And then there's a second degree misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 60 days in jail, or six months of probation. And that is value specific. Basically anything under $100 would be a second degree misdemeanor. Or, if a person has a prior theft conviction, no matter what the value is, you would go from a second degree misdemeanor to a first degree misdemeanor. Then, of course, there's a crime called felony petty theft. That means you've been previously convicted of petty theft before, and as a result of that previous conviction you commit another crime of theft (convicted two or more times in the past), and no matter what the value of the item is, it could be a candy bar, if you’ve been convicted two times before, you get tried with potentially a grand theft charge, called felony petty theft. Again, a third degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Obviously, you were talking $300, but there's cases that I’ve handled that we’re talking upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars. When the amount begins to go up, the degree or level of felony begins to go up. So, the third degree felonies involve when I talked about $300 or more, there’s certain levels. Levels matter in Florida because levels kind of tell you what points your crime gets assigned. And that's probably a little too much detail to get into today, but generally speaking, third degree felony at least, is from $300 or more, up to $10,000 or more, but less than $20,000. That's the whole scheme of third degree thefts, and there is a whole bunch of levels in there that assign more points. Obviously, a $10,000 or more is going to get a higher amount of points assigned to it. And then you go up from there. A $100,000, or more, is where you get to the first degree grand thefts. Those are crimes punishable by up to 30 years in prison. And they carry significant levels assigned to him depending upon the amount. That almost gives you a minimum on the criminal punishing scoresheet where the judge has no discretion if you get convicted of it. So, those are your basic schemes of theft. Thefts are very value intense. It matters what the amount was, and obviously your history. If you have been convicted of a theft in the past, no matter what the value is, that crime can be enhanced. One of the unique things I don't think a lot of people know about thefts, is that a conviction of a theft, no matter what the value is, can cause a person to lose his driver's license. That’s obviously a concern. Especially for people who have been convicted on one or more occasions, but the statute specifically says that the judge may revoke a person's driver's license. Statute 812.0155 says that the court may order the suspension of a driver’s license of each person adjudicated guilty of any misdemeanor violation of 812.014 (which is a theft) or 812.015, regardless of the value of the property stolen. The court shall order the suspension a driver’s license of each person adjudicated guilty of any misdemeanor violation who has previously been convicted of such an offense. So, those are two different statements. The first one says the court may. Meaning the court might say: an appropriate penalty here is a driver's license suspension for a first-time offense. But, the next sentence says the court shall order the suspension. That means the court has no discretion. I can tell you that I’ve handled cases where the court may not have done that, but a lot of times that’s a result of a negotiated disposition perhaps where things occur, or whether the court maybe just simply overlooked it. But this statute says the court does not have the discretion, the court shall order the suspension of a driver’s license suspension for each person adjudicated guilty if they’ve got a previous adjudication. So, know that these can become, snowball-type offenses. A simple act of stealing something that’s very insignificant. Maybe doing it a couple times. And then you get a driver’s license suspension, and then you find yourself with no way to get around. I have found that people suspended driver's licenses tend to drive anyway. Because they have to. And then you begin just piling up the misdemeanor offenses until things become much more significant. It’s unfortunate. B: All right. Anything else? M: We were talking about the levels of theft. There is one avenue of theft that is pretty significant. There is a crime called dealing in stolen property in the state of Florida. Dealing in stolen property, it’s under statute 812.019. It says any person who traffics in, or endeavors to traffic in property, that he or she knows, or should know, was stolen, shall be guilty of a felony of the second degree. What that essentially means is, you know how people buy items occasionally, and they know the deal is just simply too good to be true? Like a television that fell off a truck? That is a potentially dealing stolen property charge. The way I typically see it both as a prosecutor, and as a defense lawyer, a person would take an item that he or she knows to be stolen and pawn it at a pawnshop, and get money for it. That's usually how these dealings in stolen property charges come up. And what the State would have to prove is that that individual knew that this item was in fact stolen. Well, how does the State usually prove that? Well, because usually they know, or they are able to prove that the person who stole the item is the person who’s pawning the item. So, obviously if you stole it, you certainly know that it's a stolen item when you take it to pawn. I've seen a lot of cases where a person gets arrested for a theft of an item, and then pawning that same item in a pawnshop. The difference is, a dealing on stolen property is a second degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison. In the state of Florida, even if you never had a felony conviction before, you don't have any criminal history at all, a second degree felony means the court has to adjudicate a person guilty. Meaning you’re a convicted felon if you're convicted of this particular charge. A grand theft, for instance, or a misdemeanor theft, say you steal a candy bar from a store, that you've never been in trouble before in the state of Florida, you get the benefit of what is called, on most cases, a withhold of adjudication. That means this court has not given a formal finding of guilt. And you can say you have not been convicted of a crime. Dealing in stolen property, if you’re a convicted felon, your life substantially changes - very difficult to get a job, you can't vote, can't possess a firearm. And life gets a lot harder, if it wasn't hard before. It is a lot harder and to be a convicted felon. So, what you see a lot is people steal items, and they pawn them, and there's a lot of discussion about maybe allowing a person to plead to an amended charge, or doing something to where they're not a convicted felon, if they’ve really got no prior criminal history. The state of Florida also offers pretrial intervention which is if the prosecutor handling the case determines that you qualify for a diversion-type program, where you're not in the court system, and the charges later get dismissed. That's a wonderful benefit for folks who never been convicted of crimes before. The problem is that if you get a dealing in stolen property charge, it’s a second degree felony, and that's not eligible for PTI-type charge. Of course, a lawyer can try to work to get that changed for you, but dealing in stolen property changes a lot when we’re talking about a theft charge. The Florida statute stated that a person cannot be convicted of both a dealing in stolen property and a theft of the same item. So, if a person gets arrested for stealing a necklace, and then pawning it at a pawnshop. And he gets arrested. And he goes to trial on it. A verdict cannot be returned as guilty as the theft and to the dealing in stolen property. You can only be convicted of one. Usually what happens is the prosecutor picks which one to charge the person with. And in most cases they pick the highest charge - the dealing in stolen property. At least that’s been my experience as a prosecutor. So, it's almost like playing chess sometimes. You figure out all these little moves that can happen, that can have an impact on the on the ultimate outcome which is which is a person's life. B: And that's why you need an experienced Florida defense criminal attorney like you guys. Right? M: There's no doubt about it. What you don't want when you're when you're talking about your life, when you talk about your future, what you don't want is someone to do some on-the-job training with you. You want somebody who you are confident knows what he or she is doing. There is only really a couple ways to get there, right? Any lawyer can tell you he's great. I can tell you I’m great trial lawyer. I can tell you that, but how do you know I’m telling you the truth? One of the ways you know that the lawyer knows what he is talking about, is whether or not he is a board-certified criminal trial lawyer. That's the highest recognition of a lawyer’s skill, competence, and ethics in a particular field. It shows that a lawyer has been in the business, and trying criminal cases for a period of time. He’s had a minimum amount of criminal trials tried to verdict, minimum amount of jury trials, had a minimum amount of felony trials, pass a specific rigorous examination designed to show that person can represent himself as an expert in that particular field. So, a lot of people can say something, but very few people, very few lawyers in the state of Florida, quite frankly, have that on have that distinction of being a board-certified criminal trial. My firm is lucky to have me, and another lawyer at my firm, have that designation. B: Great. Anything else in property crimes? M: No, sir. B: All right.

Sex Crimes Kids  Bauer Crider & Parry Podcast Brad: Alright, you are listening to the FloridaDefense.com Podcast. We are speaking to St Petersburg Sexual Battery Defense Lawyer Mike Kenny at the Bauer Crider & Parry Law Firm. Mike, how are you? Mike: I'm very well. How are you doing? B: I'm doing well. Today we're going to be talking about sex crimes versus kids but I want to just kind of throw out there I know you guys have multiple offices. You kind of cover a wide area there in the Tampa, the greater Tampa area. Could you mention kind of, well first of all, let's talk about the offices that you have and then some of the other areas that you target. M: Well, we have an office in Hillsborough County, and that office is actually right across the street from the courthouse on Twiggs Street in Tampa. So that office is kind of designed for our Tampa clients and our Tampa type cases which covers anything from Plant City, Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, obviously the entire Tampa area. We have an office in Clearwater, and that's kind of more of our Pinellas County office and obviously it's gonna cover all of your cases throughout Pinellas County which will be Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, St Petersburg, St Pete Beach, Largo, Tarpon Springs, you've got Pinellas Park, Kenneth City, obviously Pinellas County is a large area and we definitely cover a lot of cases throughout the county there. We have two offices in Pasco County. We have one in Port Richey and one in Trinity Florida. Obviously our Pasco County reach covers New Port Richey, Dade City, Port Richey, Holiday. The Port Richey office also covers Brooksville cases which I tend to handle on a repeat basis and the main area in Hernando County that I cover is going to be Brooksville and obviously then we have our Trinity office. Our Trinity office also covers, because we do a lot of work in Pasco County, covers the same places in Pasco County, New Port Richey, Port Richey, Holiday, Dade City, Hudson. B: Great. So you guys are pretty much all over the place in the Tampa area with four different offices to choose from.  M: Sure.  B: Well, let's - Mike, let's go ahead and jump in. Let's talk a little bit about sex crimes versus kids or versus a child and I'll just kind of if you can kind of just give us an overview of that. M: Alright, well, so there's two types of sex crimes, or two categories of sex crimes involving children. And there's actually, now that I think about it there might actually be even three if you want to kind of divide it up even further. But the sex crimes are initially the battery - whether or not there's a sexual battery. Battery, as I talked about in a previous podcast talks about essentially penetration. That's what you're looking for. Sexual battery is defined as oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by or union with the sexual organ of another or the anal or vaginal penetration of another by any other object. So that's kind of what you look for if you're talking about was it a sexual battery or not? And there's other types of crimes and crimes that don't involve penetration but involve touching - that's where you get the term molestation.  3:46 (skipped per Brad's request) 3:54 But those types of crimes are crimes that don't involve any type of sexual battery, whether it be penetration of the mouth with a sexual organ or the penis or vagina. So in that set of circumstances, you've got that category and then the next category is the age. Obviously, as we talked about before, the age of consent for sexual activity in Florida, generally speaking, is 16 years old. So the key age that we look for in a sexual battery case is the victim has to be 15 or younger. So if the victim is under the age of 15, that becomes a crime if there is either a molestation or there is a penetration, sexual battery type situation. So if you have a scenario where there has been alleged sexual activity like actual intercourse between someone over the age of 15 - and that could be 16, 17, 18, whatever, you don't even have to be an adult, but someone over the age of 15 having sexual intercourse with a 15 year old, that is a lewd or lascivious battery. And that's a specific crime that addresses sex of a person younger than 16 - basically 15 and older than 12 - it's a lewd or lascivious battery. If a person, this is the next category that I was going to talk to you about - this third unique category. If a person who is a victim of a sexual battery is under the age of 12, that in Florida is defined as a Capital Sexual Battery. Years and years and years ago that crime was punishable by death. Now it is obviously punishable by life in prison without parole. So if a person is convicted of a sexual battery, there is no other option for that person other than a life in prison type sentence. So the age matters very much because it completely changes the term of years a person might be facing and the severity of sentence the person might be facing. If a person's under 12 and it's sexual intercourse, it's gonna be a life imprisonment sentence if they get convicted. If a person's under 15, it's gonna be much less significant, it's not even gonna be a life sentence at all. The next question or category of concern is the molestation type charges. A lewd or lascivious molestation can happen above or under the clothing so situations where a person is fondled over their shirt, for instance, that can qualify as a lewd or lascivious molestation.  B: Mike, can I jump in real quick there. That is similar to - you said that you don't necessarily have indecent exposure there in Florida, but that's kind of what that's referring to, is that correct? M: No, that's another unique, it's not really a crime where there's contact with another person, but in Florida, obviously everyone can imagine there's crimes that involve people exposing themselves to other folks. In Florida that's called a lewd or lascivious exhibition. A lewd or lascivious exhibition, the key phrase there is lewd or lascivious, that the person is exposing him or herself in a lewd or lascivious manner, which means of a sexually oriented nature. For instance, give you an idea, a guy who's driving on a long trip and had a lot to drink beverage wise and needs to get out of the car and use the facilities of the forest, that person is not committing a lewd or lascivious exhibition if he gets caught by police urinating on the side of the road. Now, there is another crime for that. That's generally speaking a disorderly conduct type crime, but there's also a crime called exposure of sexual organs. That's a misdemeanor and it's not a sex related crime per say, you don't have a sexual registration requirement or anything like that, but exposure of sexual organs comes up when a person's (obviously sexual organs being a penis or a vagina) are exposed and there's nothing about the act in and of itself that shows it's of a sexually motivated manner. There isn't any talk about sex, there isn't any fondling. There isn't anything that would indicate other than the person is exposed. So that's a misdemeanor. But if a person exposes himself and exposes himself to a person under the age of 16, that's when you start to get into the lewd or lascivious exhibition problem. That's when you get to the felony aspect of it. It has to be both an exposure and it has to be an exposure in front of a person under the age of 16, you need a witness to it who is under the age of 16, and it has to be again, of a lewd or lascivious manner. So it's got to be something that is sexually oriented and I'm sure we don't need to go over every single scenario where that could be, but some unique cases have come up where there have been cases that have been litigated and actually gone up to appellate courts where a person fought a lewd or lascivious exhibition conviction because he or she answered the door and he happened to be naked from the waist down and there happened to be some children who were at the door. Some discussion about those cases talked about how he might have been in his own home but he clearly knew that there was children coming to the door to sell something. Sell raffle tickets, girl scout cookies, and even talked about whether or not there was - the sexual organ itself was flaccid or not. So there's a lot of things that the court looks to to describe the intentional exposure of a sexual organ designed to be in a lewd and lascivious manner.  B: Alright, one thing we didn't talk about is child pornography, which is obviously a sex crime versus a kid, right? Might be a whole another podcast, but is there anything that you want to touch on that? M: Well, the and we kind of had a podcast before talking about computer crimes, but the issue of possession of child pornography that the basic idea behind it is the person either has an image either on paper - tangible like he can hold it - or he or she has it in his computer and they're images of children. And they're not photographs of baby pictures, right? I'm sure everybody has a baby picture somewhere of his or her own child. But these are photographs that have the children in a sexually provocative manner. It's not just a naked child, but it's a child in a sexually oriented fashion. A lot of these images that get caught and punished are horrible images of children involved in sexual activity with other children or even adults. So it's not something where someone can get in trouble just for having a naked picture, because that's not necessarily pornography. Pornography has to have a sexual element attached to it. The sex crimes that we were talking about where we have the under 12 which is a life felony if it's a sexual battery. If it's not a sexual battery but a molestation, which is a hand touching the chest or the buttocks or the sexual organ of the other person, those are molestation type cases. And if the person is under 12 in that case, but it's not a sexual battery, it's still a life type felony. When I say a life type felony, those cases are punishable by 25 years to life. So the idea here, is the legislature is very hard on sex crimes to begin with and the laws are very strict, but they are even more severe when the children become of such a young age that we're talking 10 or 11 years old - anything under 12. As a prosecutor, I prosecuted tons of capital sexual battery cases. I went to trial on several and those folks who got convicted are still sitting in prison and they're going to spend the rest of their lives in prison. So the penalty is severe. That's why, if you find yourself accused of something this horrific, the first thing you're gonna want to do is make sure you find yourself a lawyer who you trust and a lawyer who you believe has got the ability to defend you. Because the cost is great.        B: Alright, anything else on that Mike?  M: No Sir, I think that covers it. B: You've been listening to the FloridaDefense.com Podcast.

Call me if you change your plans. A: OK, I might do that. LIsten, I'm in the middle of something, so I have to go now. B: OK, I'll see you later. A: Thanks for calling, Bill. Bye. B: Bye. Let's practice. This is a quick drill. Please change the questions. Here's an example: Q1: Do you need anything? Q2: Call me if you need anything. Your turn. Q1: Do you need anything? (pause) Q2: Call me if you need anything. Q1: Do you have any free time? (pause) Q2: Call me if you have any free time. Q1: Do you want to go out? (pause) Q2: Call me if you want to go out.
