    Hard to understand that verdict. Either we got a dumber than usual jury, or the prosecutors fucked up in a epic way.

    It sounds like they had to be unanimous. This is a pretty contentious topic. Hard to be unanimous.

    They sure seemed guilty but I sure love it when someone is acquitted in a criminal trial. In a trial, the government brings to bear so much power, money, authority, and resources and the defendant out there on his or her own with a single defense lawyer usually - that and the presumption of innocence. And the defendant is found not guilty.

    Is this a great country or what?

    So I did follow the trial pretty closely. They sure seemed guilty to me. Where I think the government lost the case was the amount of paid government informants that were at the refuge. Just like the Bundy's and their followers have made a career sucking off of the government's tit and while screaming for more, the also is a rather large group of losers who the government pays to hang out with the Bundy's. It's this giant weird industry of right wing whack jobs and the government paying to keep track of them.

    I was reading some comments by other people who followed the case, and this is exactly what they said.

    There were 15 paid government informants in the group, so when the informants outnumber the defendants, the line between intent and entrapment becomes blurry. I also read that the charges that the DA went for were harder to prove, and they should have just gone with trespassing and disturbing the peace.

    It seems that the prosecution failed to make its case that the intent was to prevent government employees from doing their jobs:

    While I think the Bundys and crew are a-holes, it seems to me that the decision is a good one for our civil rights. Even though I don't agree with these folks' protest or the way they went about it, using a law like this could be used to attempt to quash other civil protests.

    Seems like the prosecution got greedy and went for some charges that were much more difficult to prove.

    I wonder how many federal informants we have in the forum and how do I get to be one?
