The guy with the cowboy hat?
Yeah,the cowboy hat that tries to cover his huge ego,but fails.
And the leather jacket with the fringes on it. Seems fittin', considering his past clientele.
Alas!
He's found his perfect venue.
I think the only reason he wasn't charged, was because he gave the FBI information that they wanted.
Spence will defend anyone with cash. Another successful low life lawyer.
I never thought he was innocent and still don't.
I guess trial lawyers have to have big egos-- at least the successful ones do. Gerry Spence is one of the most successful when it comes to high-profile cases. I can't say I agree with his political views but he has a way of making his adversaries beat themselves. I'd hate to play poker against him.
Muslim convert wrongly accused
slightly slanted, but then that is part of the AlQuaeda center of the US.
I would love to see this guy go to court and the have the govt publically arrest him for espionage, convict him, then execute him by firing squad.
If the story is no more than what has been reported, I sympathize with the man.
Spence was masterful in getting a good outcome for the victims at Ruby Ridge.
Meanwhile that sometime pig Dershowitz brushed off with ease the 13 year old's murder, cause his bigotry was towards the Jewish people. Not hard to imagine, but still swine like.
Gerry Spence = Braindead!!!
He defended Randy Weaver against the US Government and WON. And rightfully so. Yet to this day, there have been no murder charges filed against those who killed Randys wife.
Like him or not, this guy is very good.
You better get your facts straight on the Weaver case before you spout off.
It acually started at a gun show and later the feds set Weaver up by trying to buy an illegal gun from him.
It was reported that Weaver had pictures of Hitler plastered in his house, thus my reference to him being a filthy bigot. I never implied that Weaver, himself, was necessarily guilty as charged, just that I thought that the unjust murders of his wife and kid are probably what also contributed to Spence's taking the case.
"Spence will defend anyone with cash. Another successful low life lawyer."
Defending "anyone" doesn't appeal to me, but I've always thought cash beats working for nothing.
OH I see..it was reported. So that makes it true then does it? Fact is Randy did do business with those of that group and although he was in the fringe he never fully belonged. If you knew that part of the country you would know that there are lots like that out there. Those who want to drop out of site for whatever reason. Although the Aryan Nation is a wacked out bunch, all one has to do is simply sit back and watch these people and let them blow their steam off and contain them. Yet we all never hear diddly about the communist and such that support the present democrat for president do we. By and far as dangerous as the former and as nasty if they gain power..which could happen if Kerry gets in.
Here is the fact, Randy Weaver was never convicted of ANY of the crimes that brought this about..he was found innocent. The ATF LIED about him and set him up. So now I suppose this would set a person like you and I on the side of the ATF wouldnt it? They actually showed Weaver where to saw the shotguns off so they would be illegal. Weavers fault was that he failed to show for the original trial and had a warrant issued for him as a result. The ATF agents shot his son in the back, shot one of his friends and shot his wife while she was holding thier child.
This and Waco was the result of a government agency run out of control and their failure to have the proper authority go and take control..the local Sherrifs. Those agents got away with murder, plain and simple.
