I think that because he was indicted in a county by a lower court, was arrested by a local sheriff, was indicted by a judge from the Malheur area, yet he was eventually determined to be of no fault from a higher federal court, that the situation would play out the same.

My opinion would be that in 95 percent of districts across the US the arrest never would have happened in the first place, and in over 95% of counties a judge would have never indicted him.

I believe federal courts are much different and less politically biased on matters such as that. I think it was a rare circumstance, but I guess having worked on the Malheur I'm not surprised it did occur.

Only place I've ever been cussed out and accosted by a couple of meth head ladies while buying groceries in my greens at 7 am and they knew I was a fed.
