After sitting in court quietly for around 20 minutes, a court security officer walked up to Beau in the middle of a trial and told him he should remove his hat.
The judge took notice of the hat moments later and called a recess with the ultimatum “If you still have the hat on when I come back, I’m going to hold you in contempt.”
The video picks up during this recess.
He was later brought back before Judge Burke and sent to jail for 5 days for this.
Julian Heicklen, who has been arrested over thirty times for civil disobedience and noncooperation, will be doing jury nullification outreach at Cheshire superior court today from 11:45am-1:15pm. Be sure to come out and meet him.
Cheshire superior court is the same court that a man self-immolated in front of two weeks ago, due to his frustrations with the “justice” system.
LOT’s Ademo interviews Ivy and Jeremy from the NH Courtroom Legal Opposition Group at NHCLOG.org:
Interesting video from the Raxis Report. Right out the gate, Bill objects to the officer using notes and the man in the robe upholds the objection. He also objects to the certification of the radar gun being hearsay as the person who signed it is not present to testify! Watch as this cop gets owned.
I know that a lot of the readers of this blog prefer out of the system activism, but there are certain bills that even some of the most diehard voluntaryists can get behind. I believe HB 146 is such a bill. The jury nullification bill has already passed the NH House, but it is having some trouble in the Senate. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 2-2 on the bill as Inexpedient to Legislate, but that doesn’t mean the bill is dead. The full Senate is scheduled to vote on the bill later this week.
If this bill passes and is signed into law it would mean all the activism being done outside of court houses meant to inform potential jury members of their right to nullify a law would be done inside every court room where a jury is present. “In all court proceedings the court shall instruct the jury of its right to judge the facts and the application of the law in relationship to the facts in controversy.”
If you live in NH, please consider contacting the Senator that is supposed to represent you, or if you have the time, all 24 of them. A list of their contact information can be found here. The NH Liberty Alliance has pointed out that this is part of the official NH GOP platform, so if the Senator you are contacting was elected as a republican it might be helpful to remind them of this.
Facing two years in jail for standing in front of police cars when they were attempting to kidnap a peaceful woman, Meg McLain bravely goes to jury trial, where despite her suggestion they set her free, she is found guilty and sentenced to 180 days in jail, all “suspended”. The jurors were snuck out the back door and all that were approached refused to be interviewed, even for $50 cash for five minutes. Here’s the video of the trial including Meg’s excellent opening and closing statements as well as the state playing videos for the jury that were featured on this blog:
