If what you’re suggesting is that there should be due process before declaring the house a nuisance I’d agree. Given the fact that the article and others suggest that Butler and Harnett “face several charges” and that they’re under federal investigation on suspicion of hate crimes the nuisance issue may not be their biggest problem.
You make a good point. After the DOJ gets through with them, they’ll be locked up (and out of their home) for longer than a year.
“If what you’re suggesting is that there should be due process before declaring the house a nuisance I’d agree.”
Your point is well taken. Due process is indeed crucial in any legal matter, including the declaration of a property as a nuisance. It’s important that Butler and Harnett’s rights are respected throughout this process.
As you mentioned, if they are facing multiple charges and are under federal investigation for suspicion of hate crimes, these issues are indeed severe and potentially more pressing than the nuisance declaration.
