Turned out, Randy Weaver was innocent all along. So you're fine with all this, your position is noted.

Turned out, Randy Weaver was innocent all along.

He did one thing wrong. He refused to come down from his mountain and surrender. His skepticism is understandable, given what the Government had already tried to do to him. He wasn't being paranoid -- they were after him, and they had shown themselves willing to play dirty, and to take his freedom unjustly.

Even the business with the court date looks fishy in hindsight.

He was thoroughly justified in concluding that his Government's representatives were trying their damnedest to screw him to the wall -- unjustly, under color of authority.

But he was still obliged, under the law, to surrender, and let them do their worst before he got his day in court. Of course, I personally know a guy who once spent 18 months in jail without ever being charged, or tried. Smoke that one, folks.
