Re: Ethnic Intimidation being used in a domestic situation by police

From what you say, there is no ethnic intimidation. However, perhaps it was the content of some communication combined with certain other things going on in the girlfriend's life that led to the charge. I wouldn't give it much concern as it sounds like something the lawyer will be able to handle without much of a problem. William S. Stern 248-353-9400
