Your rights when buying a car
"If they can't rectify the problem and they want to
resolve the issue, they have to buy back the car. They have to pay
for the insurance you paid, all your reasonable expenses, all your
costs."
MBA President-elect Robert W.
Harnais, WHDH TV (Channel 7), October 23
Harnais provided his analysis for "Solve it 7" which aims to
address problems faced by consumers and local residents. In this
featured case, a woman attempted to get her money back after
purchasing a car with pre-existing damage from a Dorchester
dealership. According to Harnais, once the necessary parts are
received, a repair shop or dealership has 10 days to get the car
fixed and back to the owner.

Youth defense in Tsarnaev
case
"The
juries seem to believe that while these may be young,
impressionable men, they still should take responsibility for their
actions."
MBA Criminal Justice Section
Vice Chair Peter Elikann, Boston Herald, October 29
Elikann was quoted in a Herald column about the defense
of Robel Phillipos, who was found guilty this week on two counts of
lying to authorities investigating last year's Boston Marathon
bombings. Phillipos and Azamat Tazhayakov, both friends of Marathon
bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, have now been found guilty of
lying to investigators.
