Another wasted afternoon in Oregon court
Well, the afternoon of our sachem and church president were wasted by the Circuit Court of Linn County, Oregon - defendants named in our federal injunction case and for this very reason. As we were told, sachem Graves was scheduled to appear before Judge Novoty at 1:15PM to inform the court whether or not Graves was willing to take a plea "deal" offer from the District Attorney regarding a 2016 charge allegation of DUII Cannabis.Why court time is wasted on such when Graves made it crystal clear to her court appointed attorney well Before any offer if a "deal" was offered that she was Not nor would be interested in one, and yet this is the second appearance hearing to where Graves was claimed expected to "enter in" her decision that twice such was not allowed to be done. Instead what happened again was yet another court date was scheduled for the same reason yet again.
"How much tax dollars have to be spent justifying the Oregon criminal justices expense to let her state she isn't interested in taking any deal so that due process can proceed onward in whichever way it's going to. It's already an insane Waste enough just them attempting to prosecute a case that according to their own law is long expired, isn't it, and yet they proceed to keep on wasting more money, attention, time and man-power don't they."
It wasn't until rounding 4 o'clock until her case was finally called, but the deal offer platform was not provided for her to answer. Instead what was said was that Graves was scheduled to appear in court Again on January 27th, the birthday of her deceased brother to, they Say, finally be given the opportunity to tell the court she's uninterested in any deal.
To her disappointment, this also marks the second hearing in which her court appointed defense attorney Ed Talmadge failed to inform the court of Graves choosing to assert her right to religious defense should the case continue despite as we say it being statutorily expired by years already. Graves and the high counsels of KM also sent instructional request that her attorney do a small handful of things ranging from consulting with attorney members who are well versed in such cases, to preparing motions to dismiss and suppress, none of which the attorney admittedly has put any effort towards since told to multiple times over the last month and a half.
So, what's the "Plea Deal" offer?
So, should sachem Graves has been offered in guise of being a deal, is that in exchange for pleading "Guilty" the state would request/recommend she serve a total of 10 days in jail and then serve 24 months of court probation and forever carry a misdemeanor conviction on her record. Granted it don't sound like much, but to Graves it's all about principle and in protecting her plants and we the peoples rights, liberties and maintaining their freedom from what she feels is "unmerited persecution via abusive prosecution." Graves says though presented as a deal, the "offer" really isn't a deal at all. She bases this on the fact that when she met with her court appointed counsel initially, and asked him specifically What she faces as a maximum if she were to be convicted, she was told "4 days in jail and 24 months probation," Comparing the two we can completely understand why Graves feels it's no real deal at all that the DA is trying to appear as "offering" in attempt of resolving the case in the "best interest of justice."
You see ladies and gentlemen, sachem Graves knows all too well that the district attorney of Linn County, Oregon has never Yet proven themselves to be interested in acting on the best interest of justice near as much as they are trying to make people criminally Pay for using, cultivating, possessing or even transporting Legal cannabis through their county. Truth be told, this is not the First Time they have tried abusing justice on sachem Graves for legal cannabis in their county. If we take a glance back to early 2006 at then case number ________ we find where Graves was encountered very much like in this case, traveling through Linn county via the highway and getting pulled over by state police for traffic violation claims and ultimately charged with cannabis charges and taken to the Linn County jail. Initially the 2006 case threatened a 5 year prison sentence over her head but when dismissed by the judge, the DA then went behind the courts back and got a federal grand jury indictment bumping up the conviction sentence to a total of 56 years. Again Graves beat the case, but not before enduring several months of intentional PTSD at the hand of Linn County, Oregon, especially encompassing Graves ability to bur her recently deceased father. This time the funeral arrangements being made were for her mother, but the point to be made is in that the pattern has and is continuing, there motivating reason is clear, and such tactics in the end only cost the tax payers of the state of Oregon.
