Who was it?
Do you have a link to the information for me?
Can’t remember, but it was posted here. He detained the illegal and the illegal sued and won.
Ah, yes, the lost ranch. Casey Nethercutt was involved in that - the ranch in question (not his) was in Texas.
The rancher was alleged to pistol-whipped an illegal and to have sicced a dog on the group. There was insufficient physical evidence to substantiate the claims according to the news reports at the time; but that didn’t stop the County Attorney from persisting in a trial.
The rancher was unavailable to show up and defend himself for some reason, and the judge ruled in favor of the illegal and awarded the ranch to the illegal.
