BUNKERVILLE STANDOFF:  ERIC PARKER PLEA DEAL SENTENCING 


"I'm a big fan of America, but I'm not a fan of plea bargaining.....it's basically impossible in America now, today to plead innocent, it's impossible because.....if you go to court its going to cost X million in legal fees and your sentence will be 750 years but of course if you want to plead guilty that's fine you'll serve five months and be out.....


......America is five percent of the world's population but has 20 percent of the world's prisoners"

(BREAKING NEWS)

(ERIC PARKER'S SENTENCING SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW HAS BEEN CONTINUED UNTIL JULY 12TH,  SCOTT DREXLER, WHO WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY OF MOST CHARGES AGAINST HIM IN THE SECOND TRIAL AND AGREED TO A PLEA DEAL WILL NOT BE SENTENCED UNTIL APRIL 26TH)


Tomorrow (Thursday February 8th) Eric Parker will be sentenced after reaching a plea deal to plead guilty to a misdemeanor of disobeying a federal court order.    He has already served 20 months in jail without bail and the deal includes no more jail time.  He will still be able to own firearms since this plea is to a misdemeanor.

The plea deal was reached last October right before Parker's third trial was set to begin along with the four defendants who ended up being freed when charges were dismissed with prejudice.

The hidden evidence was not there for the first two trials with both the prosecution and judge preventing Parker and other defendants from using the First Amendment or Second Amendment as defenses.

Any notion of self-defense from federal government snipers was prohibited in the courtroom with Parker being scolded by US District Judge Gloria Navarro and removed from the stand when he testified in his own defense at the second trial back in August.   Parker broke down in tears as he sat down at the defense table.

The jury deadlocked in the first trial with Judge Navarro declaring a mistrial.

In the second trial, after seeing what happened to Parker on the stand, the jurors found him not guilty on six of the ten felony charges against him including assault on a federal officer which could have put him in prison for hundreds of years.

But in the face of a third trial, Parker opted for the plea deal.

The third trial was when under questioning by defendant Ryan Bundy, representing himself, a National Park Service official admitted the existence of a surveillance camera.  This led to Judge Navarro asking questions of the prosecutors, leading to a deluge of evidence being revealed and the charges against all four defendants being dismissed with prejudice.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the courtroom tomorrow in light of developments since the plea deal was reached.
