Poor Adam. I don't like the way this is going.

Due to circumstances beyond the control of either Adam Kokesh or Peter Cooper, Adam’s attorney handling his Washington, D.C. cases, Mr. Cooper had to withdraw from representation at an emergency court hearing this morning. These circumstances were not in any way related to, caused by, or initiated by the conduct of either Adam or Mr. Cooper. For obvious legal reasons, the nature of the circumstances cannot be disclosed. Mr. Cooper is doing everything he can to make the transition to a new attorney appointed by the court as smooth as possible.

The court has continued the trial date on the firearms related charges from October 31, 2013 to November 18, 2013

WASHINGTON -Posted: Oct 24, 2013 2:57 AM Updated: Oct 24, 2013 2:58 AM

The gun rights activist accused of loading a shotgun in Freedom Plaza back in July will once again appear before a judge.

Adam Kokesh is scheduled for a court appearance as part of the jury trial beginning at 9:30 am.

On July fourth, Kokesh uploaded a YouTube video of himself loading a 12 gauge shotgun in the district.

When investigators searched his home in Virginia, they found nine other weapons.

Kokesh argues that he never intended to hurt anyone with the weapons but was merely making a political statement.

He DIDN'T hurt anyone!

I'd be pretty interested in finding out what happened to his lawyer - and why

 

[muzzled dogg]

curious

 

[jkr]

hes gone man, we lost him

pile the bones over there with the rest

save us a spot

Okay. That's strange. Where I live you can't get a public defender unless you are indigent. Is Kokesh broke? And if so, then how did he hire the first attorney?

People working for him stole all his money while he was in jail. I don't have time to find the links but it was discussed here.

Well, there's a possibility that Cooper was doing it pro bono for the publicity, but has since been persuaded to do otherwise.

And there's an even more distinct possibility that Kokesh wasn't broke until Cooper sent him a bill for the first few hours of his time.

Moneybomb to hire Kokesh a decent attorney? I mean seriously. He can be an ass sometimes, but on balance I've found him helpful to the cause. Besides, he's being prosecuted (persecuted) for standing up for the 2nd amendment.

After the money was raided, I'm not so sure you can raise a dime for Adam Kokesh at this point.

I'm not sure what DC jail he's in, but I'd bet the rent it's less than 1 hour's drive from the NRA headquarters.

After the fiasco with his 'associates' looting most of his funds that had been already raised for court costs, good luck.

Sounds like a non-payment issue to me.

Sounds like a non-payment issue to me.

I don't know who this person is but it was posted on the FB link:

Charles Lupton: Mr. Cooper was not a public defender. However, this was also not a financial issue even though now more must be raised to get him a new attorney(I recommend sending anything to his commissary to avoid "middlemen").

Akeem Aoc: No money no freedom. That's how this corrupted county is running now. Smh

It's how it's been run for a long time:

"The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing."

Why does this matter?

 

[dannno]

Why does this matter?

They should be defending him, we all know they won't, but they should be.

Does GOA have any attorneys they can send?

After the money was raided, I'm not so sure you can raise a dime for Adam Kokesh at this point.

As long as we, or someone trustworthy, is in control of the account that the money bomb contributions are paid to, why should there be a problem? I don't understand your claim that "a dime can't be raised."

if only they'd transfer him to a prison in louisiana.

It's not a payment issue, Adam's dad has been helping him out with representation.

"Due to the oath I swore to the constitution when I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, by virtue of the universal human right to self defense, in accordance with the Supreme Court case, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the statutes under which I am being charged are unconstitutional and thus null and void, and on behalf of all freedom loving Americans, I plead not guilty."
