Olofson on Olofson

David Olofson's reaction to his conviction being upheld and sentencing--begin on page 63, about halfway down the page, and look for posts by "Bladerunner2347"...

I realize I'm shamefully late with this, but is there a legal defense fund for Mr. Olofson?

Everyone darn well knows that the intent of the 34 law was as far as MG's go and one round per trigger pull.
This is nothing but word-smithing to get around the laws to send people to prison, by government employees that have taking an oath.
Granted the judge or the lawyers (both sides) are not under oath per se during the trial. However the judge has a sworn oath to see that the full truth and nothing but the truth comes out in front of the jury. He can not allow half truths to be allowed to stand. Being said, the government lied about the Olympic arms notice. By all standards I've have ever read about, once a person lies to a jury the jury can take that fact and question all of what was entered in court by that person. Being this was the government that was less then truthful, the case should have been dismissed. The reason I say dismissed is if a new trial is ordered. Why waste the taxpayers money because the information of the government being less then honest should be allowed in the new trial. Which will make it so any jury will not be able to believe any government witness.
This whole thing stinks and is not what we pay taxes for. This situation has made a very clear picture that we have huge problems in this country because we have the wrong people empowered to enforce our Constitution.

If the government can seize a house you own and rent out because your tenants sell drugs there -- even WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE...

"Always Think Forfeiture" -- ATF motto.

Except in this case the person himself is seized.
It ain't nothin' but a lynching without a rope.

Does anybody know what kind of people the jury consisted of? Was it 12 middle-aged high-school-educated church ladies, or a jury of Mr. Olofson's ex-military combat-experienced peers?

Like I need to ask.
