New Alabama Law Involving Methamphetamine

A north Alabama couple indicted in the death of their infant daughter is believed to be the first in the state charged under a new law. It’s aimed at people cooking methamphetamine around children. Twenty-five-year-old William neighbors and 24-year-old Melissa Little, both of Odenville in Saint Clair County were charged with chemical endangerment of a child. The district attorney said the couple's 15-month-old daughter, Melissa, died after ingesting or inhaling methadone. The substance is normally used to treat drug addicts. The new law went into effect June 1 and the child died June 5. Chemical endangerment is a class "A" felony. If convicted, the penalty is ten years to life in prison.

Alabama DUI Lawyer :
Then comes the case of a man who had seven drunken-driving convictions within 15 years, but only three within a five-year period. He was sentenced for committing a felony. He appealed. And the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals reluctantly ruled that his sentence should be reduced.
