He had also made quite a nuisance of himself in the Ohio state courts, often clearing them entirely by threatening to impeach judges who had not timely filed an oath of office. He frequently appeared in state court as a champion of poor defendants and, on rare occasions, was even granted standing as counsel even though he was not a lawyer.
The error was set at the very first moment when Matthews refused to show his drivers license. Once the chase took over and the police had him corned pointing guns at him Matthews knew that it was over for him. He had no chance in the Courts, I'm sure that any judge who took his case would've been more than happy to send him to jail.
I'm sorry about the outcome. This doesn't help second amendment advocates, and it doesn't help their cause. This is not the way to fight a battle.
May both souls rest in peace.
