Friday 5/15/98 7:17 AM J Orlin Grabbe John Young ABQ J 5/15/98 Charges Dismissed in Ruby Ridge Case BOISE, Idaho - A federal judge on Thursday dismissed an involuntary manslaughter charge against an FBI sharpshooter for the death of white separatist Randy Weaver’s wife during the siege at Ruby Ridge. U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge ruled that Lon Horiuchi was acting within the scope of his authority and was honestly discharging his duties when he fired the shot that killed Vicki Weaver on Aug. 22, 1992. The U.S. Justice Department decided in 1994 against prosecuting Horiuchi, or any of his FBI superiors and reaffirmed the decision last year. 1 It was NOT a jury which made the determination Horiuchi was acting within the scope of his authority, but a FEDERAL JUDGE. 2 The Justice Department did not prosecute FBI agents FASCISM - a political and economic movement, strongly nationalistic, magnifying the rights of the state as opposed to those of the individual, in which industry, though remaining largely under private ownership, and all administrative political units, are controlled by a strong central government. Morales and I were unable to meet on Thursday. Today we will study the docket sheets view at http://www.jya.com/whp-10usca.htm today. And open the letter I received from EEOC Inspector General Office. The above Ruby Ridge article emphasizes the importance of a jury trial in matters of federal government misconduct. http://www.jya.com/whp043098.htm This matter should get settled before it gets WORSE.
