God, Religion and the Law are very important subjects in America. In fact the first sixteen of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution deal with the issue of freedom of religion: " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...." These sixteen words are referred to as the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause, respectively.

BALTIMORE DEFENSE LEAD PAINT INSURANCE POLICY EXCLUSION : A DEFENSE ATTORNEY WARNING
www.charlesjeromeware.com. " Here to make a difference."
Because of their high incidence of lead paint poisoning, Baltimore city residential properties are generally not well-covered for lead liability by insurance carriers. Lead poisoning policy exclusions tend to be prevalent in Baltimore, as a result. However, there are some exceptions; some residences actually are covered for lead liability by some insurers. Therefore, when a lead poisoning claim is filed against a landlord, it always wise to check the relevant policy to see if lead coverage is or was provided or in place on the property at the relevant time of the alleged incident.
Caveat: Since most lead paint cases in Baltimore are filed long (many years) after the alleged incident, many owners, landlords and property managers simply do not have adequate records on the property concerning the issue of insurance (or lack thereof). Further, to compound this problem, it is generally accepted that insurance carriers do not have the legal responsibility to retain copies of the insured's policies. The burden, then, is on the insured to produce documentation supporting his or her claim of lead coverage. Without a policy proving coverage, insurance companies will not defend the lead paint/poisoning case.

MARYLAND CRIMINAL & CIVIL LAW AND SCIENCE
www.charlesjeromeware.com. " Here to make a difference."
SCIENCE AND MARYLAND LAW: Today, in modern Maryland, scientific evidence is increasingly used in court cases and in multiple practice areas. Science and the law intersect in several areas today. Most people are familiar with fingerprints and DNA evidence, but there are many other areas in which science and the law converge in the courtroom.
Some examples of scientific evidence that may be used in criminal and civil cases in Maryland include:
1. Autopsies, in civil and criminal cases.
2. DNA testing, in civil and criminal cases. For example: where hair, skin, semen, saliva or other evidence left by the perpetrator at the scene of the crime or event is compared with the unique genetic makeup of the alleged guilty or faulted party to determine if there is a match.
3. Blood tests and breath test results in DUI/DWI cases.
4. Bite-mark evidence in which bite marks are compared with the dental records of a perpetrator to determine if there is a match.
5. Bullet analysis/ballistic fingerprinting, where each bullet is traced back to a particular gun.
6. Fingerprint and footprint analysis, where an accused perpetrator's unique pattern of swirls and
impressions is compared with fingerprints and footprints left at the scene of the crime.
7. Blood-spatter analysis, where the direction of blood splatters is analyzed in order to determine what happened at an accident or crime scene. For instance, if a gun was shot from a certain height or direction and impacts the body, the injury will create a specific blood pattern as it leaves the body.
These types of scientific evidence, et al., are widely accepted by the legal system and may be entered into evidence in almost all cases.

BALTIMORE LANDLORD LEAD POISONING DEFENSE ATTORNEYS : LEAD WARS

Charles Jerome Ware, P.A., Attorneys & Counselors, is a nationally respected , well-known and highly successful lead paint poisoning defense law firm conveniently headquartered in the Baltimore-District of Columbia metropolitan area.

Though lead paint poisoning of children in Baltimore is a " public health crisis", the Federal government, in my opinion, has failed through several administrations to properly address this important issue. Indeed, the current administration has invested no more in this problem than the previous administration did. Lead poisoning is not even on the Center for Disease Control's ( CDC's) priority list of " winnable public health battles." Instead, the default approach is to file private lawsuits against hapless Baltimore landlords --- many of whom are helpless victims of this process themselves.
