TownHall: The cul-de-sac commando couple, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, may have had the state attorney general, Eric Schmitt, intervene and file a brief calling for the brandishing charges to be dismissed, but a grand jury came back and indicted the couple on the weapons charges, along with evidence tampering. The indictment was not a shock to the couple’s attorney who says not all the facts were presetned (via KMOV4):
A grand jury indicted Mark and Patricia McCloskey Tuesday on charges of exhibiting guns at protesters in a June incident in their neighborhood and added a charge of tampering with evidence for both members of the couple.
The McCloskeys made national news when they pointed guns at protesters from the lawn of their home on Portland Place on June 28. A search warrant was served Friday night.
Their attorney, Joel Schwartz, said he wasn’t surprised by the indictment, saying the grand jury didn’t have all the facts.
“Once all the facts are out, it will be clear the McCloskeys committed no crime whatsoever,” Schwartz said. “Frankly because the grand jury is not an adversarial process and defense counsel are not allowed in there and I have no idea what was stated to the grand jury and what law was given to the grand jury.” more here
I always wonder whether or not, each one of these injustices, will spark the
“Shot Heard Round the World”
This is total bull shit. Not only should this DA, and her staff, be removed, they should lose their license to practice law because they clearly don’t understand it.
@Brad — They should be sentenced to the same term of imprisonment that their would-be victims are facing from the infuriating bogus charges.
Uncle Al
What really fries my ass is there’s a huge racial component to this.
Our legal system is wacked up.
^Meaning the DA is not white and not latino? 😬
Color me surprised lol.
DA was a Soros-appointee.
OT, somewhat, but have any of you heard anything about ATF reclassifying AR pistols as SBR’s?
Iron Man
The ATF has been trying to allow pistol stocks for sometime now. If they do that, yea it’s an SBR.
Iron Man: Heard that they (ATF) sent a cease and desist letter to Q arms Re: their Honey Badger AR pistol. It is no different than any other AR pistol. ATF claims it is an SBR. Matt Goetz sent ATF a WTF? Letter.
Iron Man: here’s a link.
