The Kickham Comment - Boston Criminal Attorney Blog
According to press reports including The Enterprise of Brockton, Bridgewater State University police campus recently received allegations of two rapes on campus.

Massachusetts College Sex Crimes Accusations: Gender Bias is Frequent
When people ask me how I can defend people accused of sex crimes, there’s often a look of disbelief on their faces.

Aurora, Colorado Gun Massacre: Saddening, But Not Surprising: Part One Of Two
People everywhere are shocked at the Aurora, Colorado theatre shooting massacre that took place yesterday. 21 people killed 59 wounded. On a pedestrian level, that’s obviously very understandable.

Massachusetts Rape is Subject of BU April’s Fool Editorial
Call this one the April Fool’s Joke that no one thought funny. It was all about Massachusetts rape, Massachusetts prostitution, and Massachusetts date rape, involving fairytale characters.

Massachusetts Date Rape: Though Problem Is Real, So Are False Accusations
Date Rape, also referred to as “Acquaintance Rape” can be a serious problem, and is real. Notwithstanding that the media have been reporting date rape as a new phenomenon, primarily due to the covert use of an anesthetic drug, the practical reality is that drugs (most frequently alcohol,) have been involved in social situations culminating […]
Amy Bishop 1986 Shooting Case: Former DA Delahunt Speaks
The twisted saga of the Amy Bishop case became (hopefully) a little clearer today, with the release of a press statement by Congressman William D. Delahunt, who was the Norfolk County District Attorney at the time of the May 1986 incidents surrounding the shooting death of Bishop’s brother, Seth Bishop. Much has been made in […]
Gates’ Cambridge, Mass. Arrest Anything But Racism – But His Claims Ought To Be A Crime
Like seemingly everyone, I’ve watched this incident take over the media cycle for the past several days, and sweep across the globe (as in the world, not the Boston Globe,) who seem to be doing all they can to ring the racism bell, with frightening speed. I shook my head when I saw Al Sharpton […]
