LET OUR PEOPLE GO!

The Issue

 

Two men from Idaho--Eric Parker and Scott Drexler--involved in the 2014 Bunkerville Standoff Trial were just found innocent of 34 of 40 counts brought by the Federal Government with the remaining 6 counts receiving a hung jury status--meaning the government could not prove their case to the jury. One juror stated that only 1 of the 12 stood in the way of a innocent verdict on all 40 counts. This is the second trial for these same crimes, the first also ending in a hung jury status. Now the US Attorney in Nevada wants to try them a 3rd time for the hung verdicts. No matter what you think about what these men did, or the part they played, they have gone through the system and were found not guilty by a jury of their peers and the prosecution was unable to convince the jury on a few other charges. 

Justice has been served twice now at the cost of millions of dollars while these men sat in prison without bail for 18 months, because the government thought they were guilty before they were ever tried. 

Its time for the government to rest it's case and move on. If you agree please sign and share.
