We have all heard horror stories of a woman scorned and a nasty, nasty divorce. But making ricin and trying to frame your estranged husband for trying to kill the president. Um... Um...WHAT?
Check out this article in the Wichita Eagle.
A federal judge Thursday ordered a psychological exam for the Texas
woman accused of sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama
and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in an attempt to frame her
estranged husband. Shannon Richardson's court-appointed attorney,
Tonda Curry, requested the exam, saying Richardson, 35, had displayed "a
pattern of behavior" that raised the question about whether she could
assist in her defense. Curry's wrote in a motion that her belief was
based on a series of conversations with Richardson, who has been jailed
since her June 7 arrest on a charge of sending a threatening
communication to the president.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Caroline
Craven's ruling means Richardson, who is six months pregnant, will be
evaluated at a medical facility within the federal Bureau of Prisons,
possibly within the next 30 days, to determine whether she can assist in
her defense. "She has never been inside a jail before, and that's
a very, very harrowing experience, especially when you're older and
pregnant," Curry said, elaborating on Richardson's mental state after a
brief hearing Thursday. "She is suffering a lot of anxiety and panic
attacks." Curry filed the motion requesting the exam Thursday
morning, just hours before a scheduled detention hearing. The detention
issue was postponed until after Richardson's mental competency is
determined.
Richardson, wearing an orange jump suit and with her hands shackled, did not speak during Thursday's hearing. Richardson,
an actress, has had minor roles on television and films under the name
Shannon Guess. The government alleges she sent the ricin letters to the
White House, Bloomberg and the mayor's gun-control group last month in
an attempt to pin the crime on Nathan Richardson, the New Boston, Texas,
man she married in October 2011.
Nathan Richardson filed for divorce on the day before his wife's arrest. He later told the Texarkana
Gazette that he contemplated divorce last year but reconsidered when
the relationship seemed to improve. The marriage was at least
Shannon Richardson's third, and she has five children ranging in age
from 4 to 19 from other relationships, according to Nathan Richardson's
attorney, John Delk.
Authorities have determined that the ricin
letters, which threatened violence against gun-control advocates, were
mailed from New Boston, about 150 miles northeast of Dallas, or nearby
Texarkana and postmarked in Shreveport, La.
According to an FBI
affidavit, Shannon Richardson first contacted authorities to implicate her husband in the scheme. But she failed a polygraph exam, and
investigators found numerous inconsistencies in her story, the document
alleges. Richardson later admitted mailing the letters but maintained that her husband made her do it, according to the affidavit. Speaking
to reporters Thursday, Curry noted that her client has not been charged
with sending a poisonous substance. If the government does file that
charge against her, it will be strongly denied, Curry said.
"We are going to mount a vigorous defense on the ricin," Curry said.
The
lead attorney for the government, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Locker,
declined comment, saying he doesn't discuss ongoing cases.

What is SR22 Insurance? (SR-22 Insurance) Why do I need it?
First off there is no such thing as SR22 Insurance. It’s not a classification of insurance or a type of insurance or special insurance. When people refer to SR22 insurance they are referring to the SR-22 Form that your insurance company must file with the state. The SR-22 Form is filed with the state and it shows to the state what insurance coverage you have on a vehicle. I person must ask the insurance company to file the SR-22 Form or do it themselves when necessary.
The only real reason for the average person to file an SR-22 Form to show the state what insurance coverage they have is because the state is requiring the person to have certain insurance coverage.
Reasons you might have to file an SR-22 insurance form.
1. You had a DUI.
2. You got in an accident without insurance.
3. You got pulled over and you didn't have insurance.
4. Your license was suspended.
One of the most common reasons people have to file an SR-22 Form is for driving without insurance in
If you get pulled over without insurance you will be required by the state to file an SR22 insurance form (and sometimes pay up 6 months advanced premium) or the state will suspend your license. If you don't file the form you won't be able to legally drive.
There are a lot of twists and turns in the law concerning driving without insurance, license suspensions, and driving on suspended. If you find yourself facing one of these charges you need an attorney's help. Making one wrong decision on your own can have dramatic and prolonged impacts on your ability to drive and could even end you up in jail. If you need help figuring it all out give my office a call.

He kept in contact with me and well informed me in every move that he made. He was able to work around my hectic schedule and made himself available at any time that was convenient to my needs. He was a very helpful and patient lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone and hopefully I will not get into anymore trouble to need his services (lol) but, if a problem arises it is nice to know that I can call on someone I trust.
Professional and efficient.

Client Review:
I received a Speeding / Traffic Ticket while driving through rural Kansas during a cross-country trip. I live in California and flying out to the Kansas court to deal with it, as you might guess, wasn't an option. I gave Brandan a call and I was immediately glad I did. He knew the type of ticket right off the bat and suggested an option to proceed to minimize my costs and not receive a point on my driving record. I scanned and emailed him the ticket and he took it from there. He's very responsive by phone and by email, an added bonus to have a lawyer comfortable with technology. I'm glad got in contact with Brandan and I happily recommend him to others dealing with any traffic cases.

My speeding ticket was my first moving violation in 20 years. Since I didn't know the system and couldn't get off work I hired Brandan based on the reviews on this site. The officer who issued the ticket waited til a few days before my court date and Brandan still got the ticket amended before the court date through his persistence and dedication. He also communicates directly to his clients. Way to go Brandan!

Brandan is awesome. He helped me through 6 tickets (2 different encounters, same 3 tickets each time). He kept me informed, worked with me on the price, let me know exactly what I was paying for, and got them all taken care of for me. I could not have asked for better service, and since I tend to get a lot of tickets, I am sure he will have my business again.
