You be the judge.

Folks,

We have been contacted by what appears to be one of the jurors in Larken's trial. We hope to post some information about this breaking development soon.

For now, I would like to bring your attention to the previous post.

Hello everyone,

Larken has done what normally comes hard for him by making an uncomfortable plea for money as per the following message:


Dear Subscriber,

Lots of people, before the trial and now in retrospect, have offered advice on how I could have possibly won the case. Some time I'll explain why an acquittal was NOT my main goal, and why I had to do it just the way I did it, even though it put me at an even bigger disadvantage,

It will come as no surprise to many of you that I confess to being zealous, proud, and stubborn (and many of you could think of less kind, though maybe still accurate words to add to the list). I have no shame whatsoever for fighting this fight, regardless of the outcome. But now I have to do something that does cause me shame, and that is asking for help.

In the past I've asked for help for things that were designed, not just to help me and my family, but to help push the truth forward. Now I must ask for somethhing that will probably accomplish nothing more than helping me and my family out of the mess we're in--the mess which was the result of my decisions. I won't sugar-coat it. I picked what I still believe was a righteous fight, but I lost, and now I will pay the price (though the exact "price" won't be known until after various appeals, etc.). I tried, and I failed. And I am the ONLY one obligated to pay for my decisions.

I won't belly-ache here about the reasons for the unpleasant outcome (that will happen in appeals), and I refuse to make this into a pitiful plea.
But for the sake of my family, and because so many of you TOLD me to ask when I needed help, I'm sending this message.

I already can't possibly thank everyone enough for doing so much to support me and Tessa in the past, whether financially or emotionally. I don't know what else to say. I can't even ask the question. If you don't know what I'm asking, never mind.

I thank you all for everything you've already done. It's nice to know that not everyone in this country chooses ignorant bliss.

Sincerely,


Larken Rose

Obviously, a donation is the best way to express your gratitude to the man who locked swordds with the government on your behalf.

I should point out that you can probably make a contribution on line at this On Line Donation Form

He has also filed a Rule 29 motion for acquittal which can be read on line as well. See Rule 29 Motion

Folks,

Here is an interesting quote that came across my emails today.

"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." [Ayn Rand, The Nature of Government]

Kind of prophetic isn't it.

The purpose of this message is to provide another update.

Within a few days, we will be setting up a web page which will allow us to organize the information related to each of the cases we are able to cover.

At some point, I'll be looking for more volunteers to help cover trials and compile information related to each case.

I'm hopeful that we can post a full analysis of Larken's trial as well. The government did much wrong in that case. It is important that we expose them for the wrongs they committed.

Right now, I just wanted everyone to know we are working to organize a lot of efforts. Once again, let me say...this is far from over.

I wanted to give everyone some idea of where Trial Logs is headed from here.

One goal is to bring attention to the some of the injustices citizens are forced to endure through our legal system. You'll notice we added "Larken" at the beginning of each audio segment. That is step one in preparation of covering more of the upcoming trials. Future audio segments may lead with "Tessa","Arthur", "Erwin" and whoever the government targets next. So rest assured, Trial Logs is just getting started.

We also hope to bring you a responsible analysis of the trial of Larken Rose, a man who wanted to bring his findings of years of legal research to the attention of our nation.

The goal of a fair and just trial should be to expose the truth. It would allow Larken to present his findings and permit a jury to evaluate the man and his work. But that is not what we witnessed.

How does a fair trial deny Larken the right to show the jury his "Taxable Income Report" or his "Theft by Deception" video or to simply afford him the opportunity to walk the jury through his interpretation of the law after years of exhaustive research? The absurd restrictions imposed equate to sending a boxer into the ring with their hands tied behind their back, and certainly prevented the jury from getting a true glimpse of the man whose future they would ultimately decide.

The purpose of our courts should be to get at the truth. Yet, anyone that followed this trial is left with the impression that the governments goal throughout this trial was to evade the truth. The governments case as presented by Floyd Miller lacked substance. His closing focused on portraying Larken as an "Anarchist" who didn't even like our own "Constitution" because it gave to much power to the federal government. Then he went on to suggest that the jury should focus on all of the circumstantial evidence.

So, when broken down the governments case looks like this:

1. Deny the defendant the right to present an effective defense.
2. Portray him to the jury as a villain
3. Point to circumstantial evidence much of which was misrepresented.


I hope the government is satisfied with their conduct, because we will be analyzing and dissecting the transcripts and courtroom audio recordings of the trial with the hope of posting relevant portions here on Trial Logs for everyone's consideration. We need to bring national attention to what our court system and government has become.

All we ask is that these defendants be given a fair trial. I don't believe we have seen that in Larken's case and we believe the analysis of the trial records we hope to post here will make that apparent for anyone that takes the time to look it over.

This is far from over.
