“Right now the county has been quite inundated, so it’s taking a little longer than that.” “I said, ‘How are you supposed to eat until then?’” she said. California’s child care aid reaches only a small fraction of the families who need it, and it’s stretching providers to the limit. County officials say the organized hacks are not limited to San Diego. Social workers are doing their best to speed up processing new EBT cards, he said. “This is being conducted by a sophisticated crime ring,” said Michael Workman, the San Diego County spokesperson. “We have been regularly communicating with our customers about this issue.” How are we going to eat? Things got easier a couple of years ago, when Moats qualified for almost $750 a month in food stamps from the county Health and Human Services Agency. How can you get help paying for it? “I filed a dispute and eventually got refunded, but then it happened again this month.” “If it goes on much longer, what are we going to do?

New trial ordered in Tran fraud case as OCA says credibility ruling at ... (Law Times)

An Ontario Court of Appeal panel has ordered a new trial for a man convicted of fraud and possession of crime proceeds because the trial judge made a ...

“The trial judge was not required to accept this evidence as an explanation for why the appellant and Ha did not speak. Although the Crown challenged the credibility of both Tran and Ha, “at no point” did Crown counsel suggest either of them had communicated after Tran’s arrest. Justice Allen “had to decide whether the Crown had met its burden to prove the appellant’s knowledge of the fraudulent nature of the transactions beyond a reasonable doubt.” The appeal court ruling noted that the Crown had a strong circumstantial case against Tran based on the documentary evidence and the unusual nature of the credit card transactions. Tran also had no opportunity to address the trial judge’s concerns about “concoction” either in his evidence or submissions at trial. He went to the police station to turn himself in and was arrested, with police saying he had accepted money that he should not have received. The trial judge, however, rejected the evidence of both Tran and Ha in her decision. The only contested issue at trial was whether the appellant had knowledge of the fraudulent nature of the transactions.” He also testified that his release conditions ordered him not to communicate with any alleged parties to the fraud, including Tran. This finding, the appellate court deemed, was made in a “procedurally unfair manner.” The loan was made in cash over a few months, starting in February 2011, in increments of $60,000. He was charged along with Hai Ha, the latter who had earlier pled guilty to the same crimes.
