Paging Bootlickers. Bootlickers to the brown courtesy phone...

Yeah, I can see where the jury might be worried about such a thing. Almost as much as gun owners are worried about antigun fanatics and the federal government knowing theirs.
Interesting question from the jury.
Wonder what they are thinking.
The case came about because, after a different judge found Stanley guilty of a gun crime, he wrote the judge a letter saying that his "militia" was going to "arrest" the judge for violating the Constitution. I guess the jury would like to convict Stanley without getting any such threats themselves.
"Wonder what they are thinking."
I would think they are worried about this guy might come looking for them.

Well they are not to bright if they don't know the word culpable.

That if they convict him they are going to get a letter threatening their arrest by some fringe militia? Just a guess.
You should really read some of this guy's writings. He's not your average responsible gun owner; he's a nutcase who's armed to the teeth and looking to pick a fight that ends with suice-by-cop. If I were on that jury, I wouldn't want him to know anything about me at all.
He should have grinned instead and chirped "nothing a P.I. can't cure, heh" just to agitate them even more.
Anti-gun wankers. All of them.
And he'd be cooling his heels in jail for contempt of court for a nice spell, too.
That question alone is grounds for a mistrial.
Stanley has been arrested and had his home raided on multiple occasions without any violence.
"That question alone is grounds for a mistrial."
That it does.
Indeed. And in today's world, if you know somebody's name, and general area of residence like state or metro area (not even that's needed, if it's an unusual name), and have access to the Internet, you'll most likely have their address in 5 minutes, especially if they own their home.
Sanity isn't to be judged by a jury except when used as a defense.
Not to mention every citizen who has ever written or phoned their rep.
C'mon. Give 'em a break. He sent a letter threatening arrest and a trial for treason. Hmmm. Wonder what the penalty for a treason conviction is...
In this day and age, isn't it really prudence that they were exercising?
Or do you freely provide your name and address to strangers who behave oddly?
What'd you say your name and address was?
Too easy and too pat to call them anti-gun wankers.
