I was watching season three of the Wire last night and they had a good bit about the union resisting a grand jury.

union boss: "What are you gonna say to the grand jury?"
union guy: "I plead the fifth commandment."
union boss: "And if they give you immunity?!"
union guy: "I don't remember."
union boss: "About what?"
union guy: "Anything."

The quote from Rockford could apply to the victims of AR activist and terrorist too. AR activist treat them with contempt, have a total disregard for their rights, try to slander, threaten and intimidate them even though the victims are not guilty of anything.

"Mr. Harper?"... creepy. (cough, joshharper.org, cough)
I always had a crush on his attorney. I feel old.

“There is no such thing as a small injustice, there is no such thing as a minor abridgment of rights. That if even one citizen is so deprived, make no mistake, we all suffer.”

Technically speaking that is Jim Rockford quoting Assistant US Federal Prosecutor Bevins during Bevins days as a private lawyer just before he got turned into a mean, white witch hunting machine.

S.:

Just rewatched it, you're right. Sorry for the error.

Thanks for the clip! Unfortunately, I doubt we'd see such bold stands or clear advocacy of our legal rights on the detective shows and police procedurals of today and who knows what chilling effect that has on viewers' perceptions and advocacy of their rights in society. Back "in the day," programs routinely showed police reading suspects their rights, suspects asking for lawyers, being assumed innocent. You may remember that the Golden Age classic "Perry Mason" was all about a noble defense lawyer whose clients always turned out innocent. The current crop of popular shows, such as the "CSI" and "Law and Order" franchises, regularly show police interrogating suspects (even children!) with no lawyer present. The suspects rarely ask for attorneys and when they do, the lawful request is typically depicted in a negative light--the "lawyering up"--as if exercising that right was tantamount to confessing some criminality.

LV, I think the main reason suspects don't request a lawyer on TV shows is because then the crime wouldn't get solved. Too many shows rely on stupid suspects who blurt out what they did. Likely the result of poor writing/plotting.

Will, do I dare ask how you came upon this clip? I have an image of you and Mongo watching TV Land together.

Tracy:
Someone from Utah sent me the clip.

TV Land is a little too pedestrian for Mongo. I have to watch by myself. He only watches BBC News.

The calls to Cache County jail concerning Jordan have shut down their phone system. People have been calling them about giving Jordan vegan meals. The jail called his attorney today asking that no more calls and they will give Jordan vegan meals. His attorney has not spoken with Jordan, so we will have to see if they keep their promise. They threatened to discipline Jordan if the calls did not stop. Like Jordan or his attorney have any control over who is calling the jail. They just need to let him go home and all their problems would go away with having to deal with this. I guess if they do not keep their promise of giving Jordan vegan meals the phone calls will start up again and so will the jail's phone problems.

Mr. Feeny is a dick.

Everything "TheDoc" says is a lie.

I would like to tell "Frankie", that I am not a liar. Do you work at the Jail? When was the last time you spoke to Jordan or his attorney? What makes you believe that everything I stated was a lie? Why would you make a statement like that?

Dear New Reds:

While i admire your stand here, your facts are in error. In Utah, witnessess before a Grand Jury are entitled to both 5th Amendment rights and the presence of legal council. The dramatization here only would apply in federal grand juries or New York State grand juries. The exact legislation that governs utah state grand juries can be easily located online. This gentleman would have been far better off to appear, claim his 5th amendment right to not speak, and go about his life, but im sure that would not acheive his goal of gaining media attention.

Actually, Miles Johnson, 'the gentleman' [Jordan Halliday] didn't have the pleasant options you describe. He was not facing a Utah grand jury. He received subpoenas to testify before a Federal grand jury. He appropriately raised his fifth amendment rights, as well as other defenses and objections. He was granted immunity [really had immunity forced upon him, called an order of compulsion]. Please do not throw around such accusations of what you think are another person's motives and actions are, based on your misunderstanding of the facts of that person's very real plight. It has nothing to do with media attention and everything to do with overreaching FBI investigation. Jordan did not want this 'attention' and he would be happy to have it go away and be allowed to go home. As of today, Jordan has spent 31 days in jail for refusing to cooperate with a federal grand jury, he lost his appeal of the judge's initial order, and he has no end near in sight. Please support him by writing letters and donating to his legal support, and learn the real facts.

Thanks for posting that reply, James. To reiterate for everyone, the recent arrests, and grand juries, are related to federal crimes and federal charges, including the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act.

Hey Will - I noticed that there is not a link to supportjordan.com on the prisoner information links. As you may know, Jordan remains in Cache County jail on the civil contempt issue, his "Grumbles" motion asking the judge to let him out because the 'coercive' effect of the incarceration is not going to change his mind about his refusal to talk to the grand jury was denied. So he stays at least through the end of June '09. Thanks for all you do .... James

James:
I remember adding it, but I must have not saved it. Thanks for telling me, it was an oversight and I'll add it right now. Will
