A Gross Miscarriage of Justice

image

The Brian Aitken story bubbled up on Drudge yesterday, so lots of people are talking about it. It’s been going on for some time now, and it’s pretty disgusting. I’ve spent all morning reading every post and every comment I can find on the situation, and it stinks.

Brian Aitken was wrongfully arrested and wrongfully charged with firearms violations by the wonderful state of New Jersey. He was then subjected to more than a year and half of pressure to accept a lesser guilty plea by an overzealous DA. He refused, and went to trial. The trial was rigged: the judge, who is now off the bench, and who has some damn strange views (ie that an adult female teacher is not a sex predator when she seduces 16 year old boys, and that no crime is committed when an plainclothes policeman has repeated, videotaped, “oral sex” with cattle. That same cop is also accused of being a serial child rapist and is currently pending 48 other charges.) created a kangaroo court by suppressing evidence and repeatedly evading the jury’s request to hear the fine points of certain laws during their deliberation ... with the result that Mr. Aitken has been sent to jail for 7 years for the terrible crime of illegally possessing a couple of handguns he legally possessed, and for illegally transporting them in his car while moving from one home to another by complying completely with the New Jersey law. And also for illegally possessing hollow point ammunition, which is entirely legal to possess in New Jersey.

This is an absolute Nazi-level travesty of “justice” and indirectly points out just how blatantly unconstitutional New Jersey’s gun laws are*.

Please read all about it, have your RCOB moment, then email NJ’s wonderful governor and ask that this man be pardoned, given clemency, and have the conviction expunged.

The story from a Libertarian web site.

More at the Brian Aitkens web site.

Evan Nappen’s highlights of the facts and improprieties. Nappen is the best firearms lawyer in NJ, period.

NJ Assemblyman Carroll writes Governor Christie asking for a pardon for Aitkens.

The former judge cries Boo Hoo that the Governor didn’t reappoint him.

Too “busy” to follow the links? Here’s the story in really short form:

Get mad. Then get writing. Or calling. Politely of course. Governor Christie needs to hear from you. And in a non-threatening, non-terrorist way. And help spread the word. While Christie certainly is a fiscal Conservative, he has not yet been a strong 2A supporter. Maybe a flood of letters and emails can help change his mind?

* In NJ, all firearms are illegal. Period. Even the ones that the citizens have state issued Firearms ID cards and purchase permits for. It does not matter. NJ law ASSUMES GUILT and forces the gun owner to prove innocence (ie legal possession) based on a very small set of situational exceptions. It was one of these exceptions - moving your belongings from one abode to another - that the jury requested, and was denied by the judge, 3 times during their deliberations. In NJ, thanks to efforts by former Governor and rabid anti-gun elitist Goldman Sachs zealot “seat belts” Jon Corzine, “illegal” possession of a firearm carries the same penalty as using one in the commission of a felony. There is no Second Amendment in NJ, Heller and McDonald be damned.

NJ still has the “voluntary firearms registration” form that allows people who already own guns who are moving (or bringing them) to NJ to register them IF THEY CHOSE TO DO SO. So if the act of registration is voluntary, how can someone moving their legally owned guns to NJ be convicted of illegal possession? Forget moving, if it is indeed voluntary, and the owner voluntarily decides not to volunteer, how can any firearm legally purchased out of state be illegally possessed?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
