Is the LaVoy Finicum Shooting Relevant to the Conspiracy Defense?
snip.ly/finicum
Here's one possible argument: the reports of government overreach in the past doesn't even have to be true to be relevant to someone's state of mind in possessing firearms at a protest or driving away from a police stop. It just has to be reasonable for them to believe it. And whether it's reasonable to believe the stories and photos about the Bundy Ranch's government snipers is for the jury to decide.
Not knowing that there was an active cover-up of evidence in this case, after the shooting, I requested in open court to have an investigator present while the FBI was processing the evidence.
The government destroyed evidence and killed a witness in a high-profile case and defendants and defense counsel had to learn of it from journalists.
The FBI didn’t want the sun to shine in on their investigation, because it threatened their control of the narrative that these protesters were violent men that deserved to be shot at and killed.
