It is not uncommon for family law and criminal law to overlap. In perhaps the most bizarre incident I can recall seeing, a Texarkana woman is alleged to have sent Ricin laced letters to President Obama in an attempt to frame her estranged husband. The husband has since filed for divorce from his pregnant wife who faces up to 10 years in prison. I anticipate this will adversely affect her in the pending divorce.
