Yep, that was a clear cut case of government sponsored murder if there ever was one. The Forest Service wanted his land, and he refused to sell. So, the Forest Service bogused up a 'tip' that there was pot growing on the property.

Here's something most people don't know about that case.

After the homeowner died, his house burned down under suspicious circumstances and his widow all of a sudden decided to accept the Forest Services generous offer to buy the now uninhabited land.

Funny, eh?

"Cochran said Plante-Scott told a judge at the time that she was so poor she considered eating road kill. She didn't, but in 2001, she left the ranch after the IRS auctioned it to recover unpaid taxes."

Even less funny, eh?
