A car crash can change a family's life in the blink of an eye. Families that lose loved ones may struggle with the aftermath, both emotionally and financially. Their grief is often compounded by unexpected medical and funeral costs. This is what one family may be facing after a woman was killed in a car accident that Missouri authorities say involved a driver going the wrong way.
Arrest for traffic violation possible result of traffic stop
Most motorists have committed some kind of traffic violation during their driving years. Generally, the offense yields a punishment that is manageable for most people, such as a fine or community service. However, there are those drivers who stand accused of much more serious traffic-related crimes that carry harsher sentences upon conviction. One Missouri county recently released statistics that may show residents just how important it is for motorists to defend themselves against serious traffic violation charges.
Criminal defense: CFO accused of embezzlement
A person accused of a white collar crime stands to lose a great deal with a conviction. It is a crime that prosecutors take very seriously no matter what type of business is involved.

This may be what one Missouri CFO will need in relation to accusations that he embezzled almost $4 million from his company.
