The defense argued that it was overwhelmed by the volume of discovery material.
Thatâs what happens when your clients spent every waking hour posting online. Guess the dipshits didnât realize the downside to ammosexual twitter meltdowns.
I just completed jury duty on a case that took all of 6 partial days to present and 2 hours to decide - and that was for 4 serious crimes. I truly pity the jurors selected for this trial since itâs bound to be filled will hours of tedious testimony, delays, and political shenanigans by the defendants. The disruption to the lives of these people, who will be called upon, and agree to do, their civic duty, is one more reason to to loathe these flea bag âpatriotsâ.
The defense argued that it was overwhelmed by the volume of evidence of the defendantsâ guilt.
We all were.
I can only hope that the damage done to Native Americanâs sacred land is the conviction that keeps them in prison till the end of their days.
The defendants are building a solid case that theyâre incapable of understanding the consequences of their own actions.
Granted, itâs not much of a defense, but you go with what youâve got.
âYour Honor, were the actions of my client the actions of a sane man? Of course not. The defense rests.â
I realize we have little sympathy for the defendants in this case, but this tactic by the government is a problem in many prosecutions. They deliver a tidal wave of documents, most of which they have no intention of presenting in court.
Their hope is that the defense will not be able to examine all of it in time for the trial and thus be unprepared for the one needle in that haystack that they need to prepare a defense against. That needle could be false, misleading, or selectively edited but it would be enough for a conviction if the defense isnât prepared to explain why itâs false, misleading or selectively edited.
Guess they shouldnât have counted on a right-wing billionaire to pay their bills then.
That is a common tactic anytime thereâs a âbig guy v. little guyâ case. But those 250,000 FB pages didnât write themselves.
Now, when they are convictedâand they WILL be convictedâI donât want any suspended sentences or fines, I WANT JAIL.
Jail in the worst shithole Oregonâs got.
This is not vindictive. These guys do not HAVE a pot to piss in. You canât take away what they do not have.
But they DO have lives. You can take away chunks of THAT.
And since they are convinced all black men are ni(CLANG!), I want them to be surrounded by them. At all times of the day; the ravening black horde; no guns.
They wonât get a good nightâs sleep for months. MONTHS!
Absolutely. The defendants seem to have been quite forthcoming with documenting their bravado that constitutes their crimes. Discovery is what handed the evidence to the DA. They have only themselves to blame. The hardest part for the prosecution is organizing the evidence. They donât have to do fancy filings as the original commenter suggests.
But if the prosecution is more selective, theyâre opening themselves to a charge of concealing evidence. Itâs not really up to the prosecution to decide what evidence might be germane to the defendants, and hold the rest of it back.
Really. The Nazis did the same thing. The researchers for the prosecution at the Nuremberg Trails were amazed at how much documentation existed of their crimes. One of them said âItâs downright perverse.â
Like Nixon keeping the tapes.
Years, if there is any justice in the world.
Ammon Bundyâs new lawyer, Marcus Mumford, said that he was still trying to âget up to speed.â
In other words, he is waiting for the check to clear.
If this trial is going to drag on that long the Bundyâs petition for concealed carry while in jail should really be addressed.
Ted from scrubs : Ted: Oh, come on! A good lawyer couldnât win this case!!!
this is a Federal trial⌠Supermax anyone?
btw⌠is the defense underwhelmed at the lack of material to mitigate the allegations?
