Also, as noted, lawyers are not elligible.

>> Yesterday I posted an article that appearred in the Boston Globe about
>> a blind gentleman in a wheelchair who was mugged whiie waiting for his
>> brother to pick him up. This happened in Lewiston Maine.
>> This article raises a very difficult legal issue that has been
>> discussed in theory on this list from time to time, and it is now here
>> in real, fact specific terms.
>> Today the television media reported that it is unlikely that those who
>> robbed the blind gentleman in the wheelchair will ever be prosecuted
>> because the victim cannot identify his assailants.
>> There it is. Right there.
>> Has anyone on the list ever seen this issue addressed in their local
>> jurisdiction, and if so, how was it handled?
>> Ross
