And this is why we need a trial court loss and a successful appeal to make progress on this issue (or preferably but unlikely a legislative fix). Not only wasn’t the jury decision a deterrent to other counties and different fact scenarios, it wasn’t even a deterrent for this county with these defendants.
The trial hadn't started yet, there was no jury decision.
Thats so outrageous. That makes me want to go cross the corner and I dont even have a tag this year.
Do you think they will drop them now? Also, anybody heard from the jury? Was it lack of intent? Jury nulification of “dumb” aerial property rights statute? Some other reason?
Good point. You would think that politicians would figure out that if they are persuadable they can get more money. If they are set on their views, the $150 is just to keep them from repeatedly calling to ask for the $150.
Based on the way Ashley Mayfield Davis handled this whole thing from the start, I would say there's a chance she will take this one to trial too. The Circuit Court judge should dismiss the charges for certain. The lawyers requested a mistrial when the guys were served if front of the jury pool and it was denied. Something stinks really bad in the Rawlins courthouse and it may be the color green.
I agree this is BS gamesmanship. As to how possible, different jury, allegedly different facts. This is why jury verdicts are great for the defendants but do nothing to advance the law.
I thought the alleged facts were the same? That they crossed the exact same corners in the same areas? This has to be the wildest thing I’ve ever saw! Surely there needs to be some level of an investigation to corruption in this case?
Well it’s the exact same corners/areas they just got found not guilty on is my understanding. Looks to be the exact same accusation on the exact same corners and area
It's one of the only type 1 tag that ever used to have leftovers.
