It’s still a conspiracy even if they are too stupid or too reckless to keep it a secret.

[ClayinVA]

Nice of the tech to document their work. I would assume there is a email saying to do this at the tech’s personal lawyer office to prevent any misunderstandings.

[usurper]

So they knew it was inoperable at the time of the incident. State law prevents prosecution if weapon is not operable.

IMHO that is an irrelevant technicality. Pointing a fully operational gun on a mob threatening violence when you are on your own property is NOT against the law. It is the very essence of the 2nd amendment.

We need to keep sight on the big picture here and not get dragged into side issues.

There should be a line of lawyers outside of the McCloskey household begging to take this case. There will be damages, ruined careers, and huge payouts for this.

This will be epic.

[Red Badger]

They ARE lawyers!...........I’m sure they know some...............

Understand your point. Here is what they are charged with, (4) below clearly states “any weapon readily capable of lethal use.” This is why the flipping of the firing pin is important in this case. Quite simply an inoperable handgun would not apply. This, I am sure, is why the state changed the condition of said firearm.

571.030. Unlawful use of weapons — exceptions — penalties. — 1. A person commits the offense of unlawful use of weapons, except as otherwise provided by sections 571.101 to 571.121, if he or she knowingly:

(1) Carries concealed upon or about his or her person a knife, a firearm, a blackjack or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use into any area where firearms are restricted under section 571.107; or

(2) Sets a spring gun; or

(3) Discharges or shoots a firearm into a dwelling house, a railroad train, boat, aircraft, or motor vehicle as defined in section 302.010, or any building or structure used for the assembling of people; or

(4) Exhibits, in the presence of one or more persons, any weapon readily capable of lethal use in an angry or threatening manner; or

There are exceptions. Number 5 seems to apply.

5. Subdivisions (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), and (10) of subsection 1 of this section shall not apply to persons who are engaged in a lawful act of defense pursuant to section 563.031.

.... Under 18 U.S. Code § 1519 tampering with evidence is illegal ...

[Red Badger]

Is there an escape clause, like ‘Except when a liberal black female DA does it.”?.................

"WTF is the US Attorney doing..."

Do you have any indication that this case has escalated to Federal levels?

Gardner works for her pimp, George Soros.

The problem is we don't know when the pin got flipped.

I'm not familiar with their weapon but a skilled person could probably do it pretty quickly. For instance in the back of a getaway car fleeing a robbery.

Hard to say the police should assume the gun was inoperable during the crime when the suspects had the opportunity to modify it afterwards.

[walkingdead]

You are correct, we do not know when the firing pin got flipped. But we do know when it was flipped back. Documented by the persons doing it. That alone will be enough to get them off, as well it should.

But we do know when it was flipped back. Documented by the persons doing it.

Which says nothing about the state of the pin during the incident. Law enforcement isn't going to, and shouldn't, assume the most charitable scenario for the suspects.

Here's the corrupt POS, Chris Hinckley:

Washington University in St Louis - School of "Law"

Chris Hinckley is the Chief Warrant Officer with the St. Louis City Circuit Attorney’s Office and co-directs the School’s Prosecution Clinic. He was previously a trial attorney in the office and General Counsel for the Missouri Gaming Commission. A former officer in the U.S. Navy, Chris has also taught classes on gaming law at Washington University and Albany Law School.

Their attorney knew about it.

That's why the McCloskeys gave him the handgun beforehand.

I was trying to figure out why they did that - it didn't make sense at the time.

[an amused spectator]

They gave it to their attorney PRECISELY so the attorney could document that the gun was a brick when it was given to law "enfarcement".

That's how this information came out - the minute Kimmie the Commie and her corrupt little Mini-Me Chris Hinckley brought that specific charge, the McCloskeys' attorney was on the phone to her den-of-thieves orifice.

[kiryandil]

But we do know when it was flipped back. Documented by the persons doing it. That alone will be enough to get them off, as well it should.

Hinckley is sweating right now. This could easily be his whole career.

I'll bet his adult diaper is full just about now...

I don't think anyone doubts it was a brick when they gave it to law enforcement (or their attorney).

The question is was it a brick when she was waving it around?
