I hope the feds refuse to prosecute them and cite this as their reason but that's not happening.

The prosecution did have an ironclad airtight case.

This jury nullification in its purest form.

The end result will be that armed militias will stop just carrying those guns and start using them at some point

He took a taser for Amon Bundy. Gotta be good for business.

I'm most surprised at the acquittal on the theft and weapons charges. I saw the little news alert on the conspiracy charges and thought "yeah I guess they found the charge weird or something, I'm sure they got 'em on the weapons and theft". Nope!

Nope. However, this jury is stupid so it is very likely one of them will speak. Also juror 11 is probably pissed, so he will likely talk to someone.

I mean I'm not going to pretend I know anything about what they were charged with and how good the evidence against was, but they clearly occupied a place and had weapons and all of that so the jury just said "nah we don't really want to convict them of this stuff even though they broke these laws?"

jeez

I hope the ring leaders at least get nailed for the Nevada stuff, else this poo poo is going to get real bad
