Los Angeles, California - As a well-respected California criminal attorney and Los Angeles celebrity criminal defense attorney, Michael Guisti has always been asked for his legal opinions on some interesting news about crimes. As we aim to stay current with current events, this article caught the attention of our Orange County drug crime attorneys as it involved Paris Hilton.

Guilty...not guilty! Which is it? Alright, not guilty but Paris Hilton was convicted for cocaine possession in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. However, a conviction for a drug offense should not keep Paris from entering into another country for personal or business reasons? Right? Or, does it?

The Los Angeles criminal lawyer explains that in this instance, and because of Paris Hilton's status, the most recent and freshest crime committed by Ms. Hilton caused her to take a trip to Japan (more than 10 hours by air) only to be denied entry into the foreign country and return home. If that's not a slap in the face I don't know what is. As such, Paris canceled the rest of her trip to Malaysia and Indonesia.

Now, Paris Hilton, our beloved Hollywood and Los Angeles star committed no crime here. But there is a moral to this story.

California drug crime defense attorney was asked about possible punishment in California, as the punishment for cocaine possession alters from state to state, but what punishment would Hilton be looking at if she had been arrested in California?

According to the Los Angeles celebrity criminal defense attorney Michael Guisti, "Under California Health and Safety code 11350, cocaine is defined as a controlled substance. California law also recognizes the distinction between those who simply possess a controlled substance and those who are selling it.

The Los Angeles drug crime attorney further explains that the accused does not need to have used, sold or be under the influence of the controlled substance to be arrested for possession, to have been found with the drug is enough.

Laguna Beach, Orange County - Newport Beach criminal attorney and California criminal defense attorney Michael Guisti recently reviewed a case regarding auto theft crime. In this case, five cars' windows were smashed and valuables inside were stolen. The five cars were parked individually at different locations, but all of them were parked in underground parking structures. Some of the structures were gated while the others were not. Stolen property was left in plain sight in the car, including laptops, cell phones and other electronics.

A defendant who was accused of auto theft, smashes a car window and steals the valuables inside can be charged with auto burglary and can face severe punishment. Under California Penal Code Section 459, a person who enters a locked car with the intent to steal the property inside that car is guilty of burglary.

According to the Orange County criminal defense attorney, "enters" and "locked" mean that the defendant physically gained access to the property inside. It can either be accomplished by smashing a window, or reaching a hand inside an open car window to steal the property.

The Irvine criminal lawyer and Costa mesa theft crime attorney further explains that if the car doors are unlocked and the defendant nevertheless steals the valuable inside, the charge may be altered into trespass to chattel, which is a less serious crime because the force used to gain entry is eliminated.

Brea, Orange County - A top news regarding an Orange County voluntary manslaughter case was brought to the attention to our California criminal lawyer and Irvine criminal defense attorney.

According to the California criminal attorney, who has many years of experience in manslaughter and other related felony charges such as voluntary manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, involuntary manslaughterr, homicide, murder, states that the key point here is the proof of "heat of passion" out of plaintiff's or the victim's provocation.

For example, finding your spouse in bed with another, defendant got violently robbed by the victim right beforehand, murder of a family member are considered sufficient provocation. However, mere name calling, staring or looking by another are not sufficient provocation and thus the killing followed will usually be considered murder. said the Orange County manslaughter defense attorney.
