BATFE Raid on the Militia of Washington County and Arrest of Hollis Wayne Fincher Update: 12/24/2007
The government's principal brief has now been filed on Wayne's appeal. The brief was filed in response to the appellant brief filed last month.
There are numerous items in this brief which bear scrutiny, as they ignore pertinent facts. Essentially, this brief appears as a Jimm Larry Hendren can do no wrong, fan club apologetic in which honesty and legal principle have no place. This is despite the fact that Wayne overheard Wendy Johnson plainly tell Judge Hendren "No. No, it's not." in response to his statement "This is fraud." when the court accepted the 120 acres as security for the bond for Wayne's release pending self-report.
One would think there would be at least enough honesty for the U.S. Attorney's office to admit to the Appeals court that they disagreed with with Judge Hendren on this item, instead of acting like the record doesn't even exist. Instead, you will find on page 32 of the brief a citiation of a ruling which they claim supports their contention. However, the citiation is one of the rulings which is in contention in this appeal!
It is very hard to respect the offices held by these people when they themselves are the greatest denigrators and disrespectors of their office. Plainly, the U.S. Attorney's office in Ft. Smith and Judge Hendren do more to destroy respect for the law, the Constitution, and their offices than anyone else involved in this case.
Update: 11/11/2007
The principal brief has now been filed on Wayne's appeal. The brief was filed in the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals by Quentin Rhoades of Montana as pro bono counsel.
The jury trial of U.S. v. Hollis Wayne Fincher has resolved in favor of the government. However, this issue is not closed and appeals are pending.
On June 22, 2007, District Judge Jimm Larry Hendren sentenced Hollis Wayne Fincher to 6 ½ years in Federal prison, with 2 years supervised release, a $1000.00 fine, and $100.00 assessment fee for each offense for a total of $200.00.
Wayne has now reported to the Federal prison facility in Forrest City, Arkansas. He is in minimum security.
There are issues pending as a result of District Judge Jimm Larry Hendren's investigation into Wayne's financial status. Even though the Federal prosecutor had no problem with Wayne transferring his land to his daughters, the judge decided he did not like that and needed to investigate. The investigation is complete and Hendren has determined that Hollis Wayne Fincher "gamed" the court.
Please note that legal expenses continue to accrue. Your financial support is critical and will be greatly appreciated.
