“Specifically defendant W. Joseph Astarita falsely stated he had not fired his weapon during the attempted arrest of Robert LaVoy Finicum, when he knew then and there that he had,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Pamala Holsinger wrote in the indictment."
Correct me if I'm wrong but the Finicum shooting has been determined to be justified by the Oregon authorities and the FBI? And Astarita has been indicted on perjury charges? So we'll see what happens in that trial.
"but who are you going to believe, the Government?"
What reason do I have to believe either side of the issue? Are you saying only the government would have a reason to fib a little? Or a lot?
