Earlier on Friday, Conlogue set Nov. 14 as the starting date for the second civil trial against the Barnetts. We'll keep y'all posted on the next trial as well. Chalk one up for the good guys.

"In that case, Ronald Morales of Douglas alleges that Roger Barnett threatened him and his hunting party — which included three girls aged 9, 11 and 11 — with an AR-15 assault rifle after Barnett accused them of trespassing." I wonder if Ronald Morales could argue that they had been welcome guests on the property, that they wore civilian clothing, and that he led the hunters to the property because the group was hungry and needed food?

A closer look at this Donald Mackenzie might reveal more than a few skeletons in his closet.

Summerland "Monastery" is no monastery. It is a bunch of whacked out hippies doing whacked out things and calling it a "monastery". Just go to
www.thedesertshaman.org and see for yourself.

And while immigration politics were brought up both overtly and subtly throughout the trial, a juror told the Herald/Review the verdict was reached solely on the legal merits of the trespassing charge.Okay. (snicker)

"....wondered aloud if people like Mackenzie who put out water stations might be encouraging migrants to cross the border illegally."
LOL!

Trespass is a central theme to both lawsuits. What isn't mentioned is that the gate between the Barnett's place and Mackenzie's place has a combo lock on it. Mackenzie gave the combination to the Barnetts well before the incident in this case.
In the second lawsuit, the issue may be a bit more murky. According to news reports, the confrontation took place on BLM land that the Barnetts lease.
As I said, I'll be posting articles about the second case when it comes up.

Well that pretty much changes the whole deal! Jonathan and his paper deserve a kick in the pants for leaving that out.

I love your tag line. Not many people speak Gulungan and it is refreshing to read a few words in that language.

Yeah, it is always nice to have a special skill you can fall back on.

Maybe, maybe not. If it was inadmissible in the trial, and it could have been, then it wouldn't have made it into reporting of the trial.
What I find interesting here is that it only took 15 minutes to reach a verdict. It took us almost that long to elect a foreman when I last had the duty...

To you two it is beautiful, meaningful language.
