The case went to the jury yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. I admit I have not followed it closely. But after reading the links posted below, I find it is one of the most, if not the most, egregious actions by the Federal Government that I have ever become aware of. Using an unreliable drug cartel member and convicted criminal, who was promised immunity, ATF piled criminal charge upon criminal charge on not only the owner of this store but his entire family. They arrested the entire family (father, mother, two sons; all except the mother remain jailed), trashed his business and his house and took business and personal property and will sell it/sold it with some proceeds to ATF and to ATF members as "bonuses" for their work upon conviction.

It would be great for the jury to return a “Not Guilty” on this !
