When can you file a motion to dismiss in a capital murder case?
A motion to dismiss can be entered any time after indictment or charge, and before disposition is entered at trial. The more critical factor is finding adequate grounds for the dismissal.
I would think that if the person doing the assualting got killed, and he was the cause of the accident (by assaulting the driver, and thus possibly causing the seizure), that there would be no indication of vehicular homicide, unless the driver was already stated that he/she was unable to drive due to seizures.
If such cases occurred they should have been and probably were. Juries since the advent of the automobile have been reluctant to convict defendants who cause the death of another driving drunk ("He didn't MEAN to do it...") but that's a failure of the prosecutor to explain to the jury why a conviction is required and of the court to explain the relevant law to the jury in its jury instructions. The exact same laws apply. Because juries were so reluctant we have seen the growth of DUI/DWI laws since about 1950, to make a crime out of conduct which has actually harmed no one, but perhaps had the potential to do so.
What is an average day for a homicide detective?
As new homicides are reported, the detectives are on a revolving schedule. A detective will be asigned a case, and the next case the next guy in line takes it. They are constantly rotating the cases. Once a detective begins an investigation they will work through it almost non-stop until it's solved. It really is true that if a murder is not solved within the first 24 to 48 hours, the odds drop considerably for a resolution. Sometimes they may catch a couple hours of sleep but the schedule can be intense. In the same way that doctors will work 36 hour shifts.

Where can I find information on a 1966 Arkansas murder?
First you would need to know where it occurred, and the name of the victim(s) and/or defendant(s) in the case. Then, start with the law enforcement agency of that municipality to see if they still have any records pertaining to the case. If the agency cannot produce any old records, you could try the Clerk Of Court's office at the courthouse where the case was tried.
REALITY CHECK: You must realize that these records are 44 years old and are probably not going to be readily available. if at all. The records retention laws of the state may not even require that they be retained that long.
If the agency or court cannot produce any records, try the local newspaper. Newspapers usually maintain files of their old back-copies and they may allow you to search the back editions for any information they may have printed at the time. If all else fails you could try doing a search engine query - but unless the case was notable for some reason it is doubtful that you would turn anything up. Other than those, I can offer no further suggestions.

Where did the 'amber alert' come from?
The first AMBER Alert trial was run in 1996 at KRLD Radio Studio at the Ball Park in Arlington, TX. Those in attendance were Rick Roberts, Richard Hagerman and Bruce Seybert. Seybert worked with Amber's parents from day one, calling for what was later named the AMBER Alert, based on what Mark Klaas had told Amber's father what needed to be done on the day of his daughter's abduction. He released the AMBER Alert at a media symposium. In October 2000, the United States House of Representatives adopted H.R. 605 which encouraged communities nationwide to implement the AMBER Plan. In April 2003, President George W. Bush signed the AMBER Alert legislation, making it a national program. While the AMBER Alert system is now mandated across the USA, some states are still trying to implement the procedures necessary in bringing the alerts to the public.[citation needed] Hampered by outdated Emergency Broadcast guidelines and different activation criteria in each state, the system is still being developed to provide optimal effectiveness.
