A beautiful woman scorned by a former lover, a hot-headed husband intent on defending his wife's honor, and a Deputy U.S. Marshal assigned to protect a Supreme Court Justice came together in an explosive confrontation on August 14, 1889, in the Lathrop, California, railway station in the San Joaquin Valley. The result was a dead husband, an insane wife, and a landmark Supreme Court decision that substantially expanded the powers of the executive branch and affirmed the authority for U. S. Marshals and their Deputies to use force in the performance of their lawful duties.

The Supreme Court ruled that a federal agent could not be charged in state court for actions involving his official duties. Two southern justices dissented, apparently supporting states' rights. Justice Field recused himself.
The grudge started because Terry's wife had been the 30 year old mistress of a wealthy 60 year old widower. Although, he broke up with her a few years before his death. Terry's wife produced an apparently forged will leaving everything to her. His children contested it. Justice Field ruled against Terry. Terry and his wife made a scene, with Terry pulling a knife in court and his wife pulling a gun. Justice Field sentenced them to jail for contempt of court.
Neagle had a career after that as a private body guard for wealthy men. He was in demand, because it was proven he would shoot to defend.
Greedy cuck.
Interesting. This case involved US Marshals, not ICE.
“”shot the man, Terry, dead. The local sheriff arrested Terry and charged him with murder.””
Wasn’t it difficult to charge a dead man with murder?
Neagle was the Marshal arrested for murder. The case went to the Supreme Court which ruled for Neagle, saying the U.S. law was supreme, and a federal officer could not be charged under local law for performing his duty.
I know normal (?) journalists aren’t particular about what they print but shouldn’t the Marshal’s service be a tad more accurate in their reporting OR is it the state we’re in and we may as well stop expecting accuracy? Save our brain power for something useful!!
Yeah, I stumbled over that too.
The time period of events is close, and around that period judge Roy Bean of SW Texas fined a dead Irish rail worker with carrying a concealed pistol that was found on the body. The fine just happened to be the amount the Irishman had in his pocket.
Neagle, acting as a body guard, shot the man, Terry, dead. The local sheriff arrested Terry and charged him with murder.
It is a fact that are both sworn Federal LEOs.
Their powers differ substantially.
No they don't.
We disagree on that point.
I made a mistake. I meant Neagle, the Deputy US Marshal, was arrested.
an article of history about a David (from usmarshals.gov) that "affirmed the authority for U. S. Marshals and their Deputies to use force in the performance of their lawful duties."
This AI summary from Google is what I found across multiple searches anyway:
The surname Neagle has dual origins, primarily as an Irish Anglicization of Norman names like de Angulo (meaning "of the corner") or Mac an Óglaigh ("son of the soldier"), linked to prominent families in Cork. It also shares roots with the German/Dutch Nagel, meaning "nail," as an occupational name for a nail-maker or nickname for someone "quick," and is related to Irish Gaelic names like Ó Néill ("descendant of Niall").
de Angulo: of the angle, corner [-פמה ,פני]
It did leave out the ones related to "cloud" and "champion", and that Óglaigh is an inflection of
óglach m (genitive singular óglaigh, nominative plural óglaigh)
(literary) young man; (young) warrior
(literary) attendant, servant; vassal
(military) volunteer
Neil is a masculine name of Irish origin. The name is an anglicisation of the Irish Niall which is of disputed derivation. The Irish name may be derived from words meaning "cloud", "passionate", "victory", "honour" or "champion".[1]

Polygons are "many angles":

People will have a "knee"jerk response to mock or dismiss what they don't understand, but
the seeming omission kept multiple options open all along:
"At the outset, the Torah connects Jacob with Joseph. Of all his sons specifically Joseph holds the key to not only Jacob's but the family's ission."
