Re: Law of moral turpitude -- shoplifting

Moral Turpitude is defined as "The act of baseness, vileness, or the depravity in private and social duties which man owes his fellow man, or society in general....Act or behaviour that gravely violates moral sentiment or accepted moral standards of community and is a morally culpable quality held to be present in some criminal offenses as distinguished from others... I don't think "shoplifting" done 13 years ago, and no other occurences would rise to the level of a "behavior that GRAVELY violates moral sentiment or accepted moral standards of the community". Welcome to politics and the issues of who's who in the tribal government, (i.e. last name, clan affiliation etc). Unfortunate but true. This is not legal advise, just and opinion, but this is a "witch hunt".
