Im having trouble identifying which documents your citing, but I assume that your talking about the Temporary Detention Order, which is an order of detainment, not committal, as it says in his post. The TDO is also done by a magistrate, who does not have the authority to temporarily detain, only to issue a warrant for detainment.

“The “Magistrate” is the Judge who will issue the warrant.
Keep in mind that this warrant does not guarantee
admission, but rather guarantees evaluation for the
need of treatment in the least restrictive environment.”

Yes, the magistrate did find probable cause to have Mr. Barber evaluated, but that does not mean that he was committed. Three days later Mr. Barber finished his evaluation and the court found he was not Mentally ill, and ruled that their was no need to have him committed or to have his gun rights revoked.

sorry, I did a typo myself. The TDO is also done by a magistrate, who does not have the authority to have you committed to a mental institution, only to issue a warrant for detainment.

Please, this is my last post on this.

It is very simple.

The ATF form asked: “Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective (which includes having been adjudicated incompetent to manage your own affairs) or have you ever been committed to a mental institution?”

He answered “no” and swore to the truth of that statement.

A properly appointed agent of the State had previously signed an order that read in part (Steven Daniel Barbar is) “Mentally ill and in need of hospitalization, a danger to himself or others.”

I don’t care if it is an order for detention, an order for detainment, an order of confinement, an order for treatment or a judge’s order for a ham sandwich. The order said he was Mentally Ill.

Period. EOS

He was adjudicated mentally defective. Stop with the jailhouse lawyer krep about how he wasn’t this or that, that is was a magistrate not a judge, that no conservator was assigned so it’s not real, etc.

To adjudicate is to make an official decision with implications. The magistrate decided he was crazy…. and the more I hear about the case, I think the magistrate was right!

He perjured himself and he knows it.

The law is expected to be blind. It is not expected to be stupid. Judges do not like people who try to “game” the judicial system.

End of case.
