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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

Everything “TheDoc” says is a lie.
