Judge says Fairfax prosecutor Raymond Morrogh, accused of being unethical, should stay on case - Crime Scene Posted at 11:17 AM ET, 11/05/2012 Nov 05, 2012 04:17 PM EST TheWashingtonPost A Fairfax prosecutor accused of bias in a capital murder trial has not compromised his independence or acted unethically and will stay on the case, a Prince William County judge ruled Monday. Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Raymond F. Morrogh (D) was accused by defense attorneys of having entanglements and friendships that could affect his judgement as he pursues murder-for-hire charges against Justin M. Defense attorneys had argued that Morrogh’s friendship with Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul B. But those convictions were vacated by a federal court recently after a judge found that Ebert’s office didn’t turn over key evidence that could have been used in Wolfe’s defense. Ebert then stepped aside in the case and asked that Morrogh be appointed special prosecutor. “There’s no evidence that [Morrogh’s] relationships will cause him to abandon his duties,” O’Brien said.

How Much to Sue For in a Contract, Loan, or Bad Check Case Usually, determining the amount to sue for is fairly easy. But for some types of cases it can be a little tricky.

The mitigation of damages concept applies to most contracts in which the person damaged has the opportunity to take reasonable steps to limit his or her losses. Loan Contracts Don't invent interest if none was provided as part of the loan. Bad Checks
