MARYLAND PHARMACEUTICAL LAW UPDATE: HYDROCODONE CRACKDOWN, www.charlesjeromeware.com
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommending tighter restrictions on the sale and use of pharmaceutical products(medicines) that contain the opioid painkiller HYDROCODONE as an ingredient.
Until this recent decision by the FDA, drugs such as painkiller Vicodin and other "products" that contain less than 15 milligrams of hydrocodone have been classified as Schedule III controlled substances. The FDA now recommends reclassifying these drugs more restrictively --- potentially as Schedule II products, in line with opioid painkillers such as oxycodone and morphine.
The result is that these products are becoming more difficult to obtain, both by addicts and by legitimate doctor-prescribed patients. Physicians are no longer allowed to call in a prescription for a Schedule II "product" to a pharmacy; patients must submit a written prescription.
Additionally, patients will not be allowed as many refills before returning to see their doctors, potentially representing a hardship for patients in chronic pain.
These recommendations are supported by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Even though lawsuits in Maryland are better than most alternatives in legal problem solving, they
are still not without problems. The national law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, P.A., Attorneys and

If you are involved in a lawsuit as a plaintiff or defendant, get an experienced trial attorney.
Surviving a lawsuit requires a certain state of mind that your attorney can help you develop.
A lawsuit, civil or criminal, can be enormously expensive, emotionally-draining, energy-dissipating, and time-consuming. Lawsuits are invariably life-affecting, and can be frequently life-altering.
Every year millions of people go through some phase of lawsuits with minimal to no understanding of precisely what is going on. Further remarkably few take an active role in making the important decisions which affect them in the process. We recommend you be involved with your attorney(s)
in your lawsuit. You need to know what is happening, and why, in your case.

BALTIMORE "STOP & FRISK" NOW CALLED "STOP": www.CharlesJeromeWare.com
The national law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, P.A., Attorneys & Counsellors, is headquartered conveniently in Columbia, Howard County, Maryland. For an initial courtesy consultation with this premier Maryland criminal defense firm, contact us at www.CharlesJeromeWare.com, (410) 720-6129, (410) 730-5016.
Similar to the New York Police Department's scandal, the Baltimore Police Department is having its own "stop and frisk" fiasco.
In an effort to diminish its controversy, Baltimore city police are doing away with use of the negative term "stop and frisk" and replacing it with the word "stop". However, Baltimore's "stop and frisk" program continues unabated.
"Stop and frisk", now "stop" or "investigative stop" in Baltimore, is a term used when police detain someone short of arrest and search them allegedly on "reasonable suspicion" that the person is armed and "presently dangerous". It is also known as a "Terry stop", referring to the 1968 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 88 S. Ct. 1868, 20 L. Ed. 2d889, that held that such searches were not a violation of the 4th Amendment.

DRUNK, DRIVING," DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE" IN MARYLAND ?: www.charlesjeromeware.com
The criminal charge of "depraved indifference" is quite uncommon in drunk driving cases in Maryland, and indeed in many jurisdictions throughout the country. The reason for this mainly because it is so difficult for prosecutors to prove exactly what someone's state of mind was when they drank and drove.
It could be said that in Maryland and in many other states the concept of " depraved indifference" has been in flux for several years, once even prompting a U.S. District Court judge to declare the term
unconstitutionally vague. To be sure, it is a difficult to prove the charge. I generally define it along these lines: depraved indifference is an utter disregard for the value of human life --- a willingness to act
not because one intends harm to another, but because one simply does not care whether grievous harm results to another person.
The bottom line is that " depraved indifference " murder , for example, is meant to be among the very worst of all crimes. But the question remains : should drunk driving incidents that result in the
death of someone else be included in the category of "depraved indifference. " New York prosecutors are testing the waters on this issue:
" CAN DRIVERS BE SO DRUNK THAT THEY CANNOT EXHIBIT 'DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE' ? NEW YORK HIGH COURT TO DECIDE ". http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/October 10, 2013/ Debra Cassens Weiss; http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/09/nyregion.
In this current New York case three drivers convicted of second degree murder in auto accidents claim they were so drunk during their crashes they did not have the necessary state of mind required
by state law to have "depraved indifference" to human life.
One of the drivers had been on a drinking binge for 10 hours before driving his pickup truck the wrong
way on the road. Another driver drove the wrong way after heavy drinking at a nightclub. A third driver had taken the illegal drug Ecstasy and stripped naked during a a creaming match with her mother before speeding away, New York state's highest court is expected to rule on their appeals
in November 2013 (next month).
Other states, including Maryland, will probably follow .
