That sequence of events was challenged at the trial and the jury did not believe it. If they had, Weaver and Harris would have been found guilty in the death of the marshall...but they weren't. Instead, Weaver and Harris were exonerated in the deaths of the marshall.

According to Weaver and Harris, whom the jury believed, the events were much different and resulted in the death of Sammy (shot in the back) and later Vicki (shot through the throat as she held her baby), as well as the marshall (killed by friendly fire).

The government (like in Waco) is the entity that should have been on trial here. The blood of those innocents, as well as the blood of those at Waco, has not had any justice whatsoewver done by them. It is a travesty and a disgrace.ntested and the jury believed the Weavers...thus he and

Jeff, you brought up a curious point above that I had never heard nor read before...that the Marshall died from friendly fire. Where did you find that data?

I am sure you remember that it took years of citizens writing, doing appearances and talk radio interviews to get Congress to look at Ruby Ridge (and Waco).

Over the years of their efforts they suffered abuse, threats, and ridicule.

I was lucky to live in an area of activist talk radio (mostly KSFO's original live lineup) and we were fully informed.

Finally the hearings came. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if there were still a "Fairness Doctrine" and station managers fearing to get involved. Mr. Weaver and Mr. Harris would at a minimum be doing life?
