“No, he’s released on these charges. He’s acquitted. Nevada doesn’t have jurisdiction,’’ Mumford yelled, standing before the judge. “If there’s a detainer, show me.’’
The US Marshals had no written detainer and Mumford was moving the court to order his release.
The US MArshals had no business attacking Mumford. The Judge made no order to do so , made no contempt finding.
Inside the court its the Judges venue.There was nop apprehenable danger to the court of to anyone whichi would justofy the US Marshals’ action.
The US MArshals were out of order, usurping court authority and they are going to pay for that. Big Time.
You might think that the court venue is like a back ally, but fortunately it is not, and inside that court room the attorneys and the defendants are protected by the constitutional right of due process. This action violated the rights of Mumford and of Bundy to speak freely in Court, whether he was yelling or not.
The Judge would have had to issue a contempt order for the arrest of Mumford. That never happened.
The Marshals acted as if they were jack booted thugs.
Yes, yes, and YES!
“The US Marshals had no written detainer”
That’s not the information I have. Where did you get that?
