"I'm a big fan of America, but I'm not a fan of plea bargaining.....
......it's basically impossible in America now, today, to plead innocent, it's impossible because...if you go to a court its going to cost X million in legal fees and your sentence will be 750 years but of course if you want to plead guilty that's fine you'll serve five months and be out.....
America is five percent of the world's population but has 20 percent of the world's prisoners...."

BREAKING NEWS: TODD ENGEL, WHO WAS CONVICTED IN THE SECOND BUNKERVILLE STANDOFF TRIAL AND IS AWAITING SENTENCING HAS FILED A MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL IN LIGHT OF THE HIDDEN EVIDENCE WHEN HE WAS TRIED.
THE 25-THOUSAND DOLLAR COST OF LEGAL WORK TO FILE THE MOTION WAS RAISED ONLINE.
Some good news has been posted on Ammon Bundy's Facebook regarding legal fees for him.
Word is that Nevada fees have been paid and arrangements for the balance of the Oregon costs for Ammon's legal defense are being made.
The legal defense fund website for Ammon Bundy is about to be taken down and no more funds are needed at this time.
Fees for the Bunkerville case were reported last year in the tens of thousand of dollars and the cost of legal services for him in the Oregon Standoff case were said to be in six figures in a report last month ($180,000).
Ammon Bundy found this when he read the recent filing by federal prosecutors in the case of the FBI agent indicted for lying about shooting at LaVoy Finicum's truck.
"I just read the Government's response to Astarita's motion to dismiss (the indictment against him for concealing and lying).
The government admits in the document that "An OSP SWAT trooper, armed with a taser, engaged Finicum from the tree line on the western side of the roadblock' Page 4"

So.... LaVoy wasn’t reaching for the gun he didn’t have, he was reacting to being hit with the taser darts ?
Wouldn’t a tazing show up in the autopsy?
I have always suspected Lavoy was tased before being shot.
Time to patch the loophole in the 13th amendment~!
Wouldn’t a tazing show up in the autopsy?
...
It would have shown up in the investigation one way or another just as the two rounds the FBI agent fired were found.
Finicum was repeatedly reaching toward his weapon while telling the police to shoot him. The officers involved were briefed that Finicum was armed, and they knew that Finicum had told the media he wouldn’t be taken alive.
Tragic situation, but police have shot people before for less. And gotten off.
He was reaching for where he was tased?
It always looked weird in the video, it looked like he was falling down before he was shot but I thought it was just a tactical move before.
