Kokesh Arrested

[sailingaway]

Does anyone know his attorney situation?

He will be given bail. They postponed the bail hearing until Thursday because Kokesh is refusing to speak.

Good for him.

I'm glad he isn't giving their kangaroo court charges and proceedings any sense of legitimacy.

This is the code he is alleged to be in violation of. http://trac.syr.edu/laws/18/18USC00111.html
Looks like a max sentence of 8 years. Looking at this more closely, and reading the criminal complaint, they may have a case. I haven't seen any videos of the moment the police grab Kokesh, I've only seen after they are dragging him out of the crowd.

He refused to tell the feds whether or not he has guns. They are playing games. Adam is smart to remain silent.

Just saw that via twitter!:

For those following the Adam Kokesh drama, some news:

BREAKING: Adam has appeared in front of a judge and from the looks of it he is in good health... He remained silent throughout the entire process not even speaking to the lawyer that I coordinated with earlier... He has a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday at 13:30... The reason for the detention hearing is because Adam will not speak on if he owns fire arms or his address. More to come. - Lucas Jewell

tacitly... the obligatory phone call and his Miranda Rights are like Siamese twins joined at the hip!
that 19 year old who was born in a region of what was once the USSR was treated in a more legal
manner than has poor ADAM KOKESH, a brave Iraq war vet. that 19 year old from overseas has
been a citizen of the USA for less than two years. the bigwigs in d.c are utilizing the park service
to set up a long and legal gauntlet run sans bail on poor ADAM KOKESH that may last all summer.

Again going on what Lucas Jewell said on Alex Jones' show, the reason they know he was not allowed to call his father yet is because the attorney told them. They were down there to pick Adam up and because he wouldn't answer the question of guns--this will prolong his stay.

Does anyone know his attorney situation?

Someone said he wanted one, and he was assigned a public pretender, who got the judge to at least let him make a call to his dad. Hopefully he's trying to arrange for a lawyer not owned by the state.

Does anyone know his attorney situation?

None listed on the docket sheet, which is where it would normally appear, even if they forced a public defender on him. Denial of counsel at an initial appearance is grounds for appeal...

Someone needs to contact Jerry Spence!

that is what I meant. Not that public defenders don't typically try to do their job but they might not be sensitive to the idea of 'no it is NOT ok to say he won't own guns to make them drop transparently trumped up charges' etc.

I'm sure he will have 'counsel', but if he isn't out on bail the only information we will have will be screened and how do we find out if he is HAPPY with counsel?

Precedent exists in Philadelphia where you can strike a person from behind and simply say you were trying to knock a beer out of their hand so Adam should use that as an example while explaining he was simply trying to maintain his balance.

I had the feeling that when a busybody with a book of "regs" like a city phonebook
bee~lined over to where poor Adam was, this was the start of a long, hot summer...

if someone was trying to walk through him to the guy with whom he had locked arms, particularly if they didn't approach from the front, he had every human reason to grab the arm until he knew who was doing the grabbing.

LOL are you referring to that cop who hit that woman? If so I believe that defense only works for cops, would not advise trying that without a badge

Curious..
Did he grab the officer with the hand that was holding a Microphone,, or the hand that was holding on to the man next to him?

or was it some other hand that I'm not aware of?

Re-education camp for you mundane.

 

[juleswin]

I keep waiting for that tyrannical govt. to arrive. Oh when oh when will it ever get here.

 

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

Let's hope not.

I'm not encouraged when some of our own are happy over this.

I'll let you re-evaluate that yourself. Though, I'm sure it was tongue in cheek anyway.

Spence is a personal hero of mine, but he's 85 or so. I understand he still has a legal practice, but I think he's one of a kind.

jail for exercising 5th amendment rights.

This gets better and better. /sarc

Yep. It sounds like he isn't speaking at all. Maybe he has a strategy of some sort (other than citing the 5th). Who needs to cite it anyway, It applies, and he used it!
