Re: USA vs. GUY WESLEY REFFITT
Guy Reffitt was offered several plea deals.
According to his wife, Nicole Reffitt, "they" were making an example out of her husband.
I know she's referring to the prosecuion. But someone needs to tell her that it was a jury of her husband's peers that found her husband guilty.

Guy Reffitt is scheduled to be sentenced before Judge Friedrich on June 8 at 10am; it's expected to be in-person. We'll get sentencing memos by May 25.
Friedrich asks the govt if they expect to present victim testimony, AUSA Jeffrey Nestler says possibly.

She says that as if its a bad thing.
I think that making an example of him is a terrific idea.
That is not to say that I condone malicious prosecution or prosecutorial misconduct, but there is no evidence of either in this case. Mr. Refiit, et al, engaged in nothing less than a failed coup d'etat. IMHO, whatever sentence he gets will not be enough.

If I were a juror, I could understand wanting to hear an actual defense. But that's different from what she said.
But I'm not certain she voted based on that sentiment. The amount of evidence against against Reffitt was truly stunning, especially since much of it was Reffitt speaking on video, texts, and Telegram posts.
That said, her use of the word "telling" does raise red flags.
I'll see if I can find more info about that interview. Tweets don't give context.

Re: USA vs. GUY WESLEY REFFITT
Same. It's like the defense just looked at the prosecution's case, shrugged, and said "We don't think it proves anything." And relied solely on the fact that most people despite jury instructions can't often tell the difference between 'reasonable doubt' and 'any doubt whatsoever'.

Re: USA vs. GUY WESLEY REFFITT
I think you are reaching too far for your conclusion. Nothing she said infers the prosecution didn't meet its burden. She said it was a simple case. I think a reasonable conclusion can be reached from that comment that the government met it's burden.Maybenaut wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 10:20 pm“Telling.” Telling me that the jury failed to follow the judge’s instruction that the burden to prove it’s case beyond a reasonable doubt is on the government, that the burden never shifts to the defense, and that the defense bore no burden to present any evidence whatsoever.Kendra wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 2:34 pmJust interviewed a juror.

Re: USA vs. GUY WESLEY REFFITT
I didn't have time to follow in real time, but reading through every description from people in the courtroom the prosecution more than met it's burden. They probably could have presented ONLY what Reffitt himself posted before and after and the jury could likely have convicted based on that evidence alone. He posted all about what he was about to do, what his intentions were, how he wanted to find certain people, what he wanted to do to those people, ad infinitum. After Jan 6 he posted and boasted about what he had participated in. The fact that one of his own kids testified that he was threatened with grave bodily harm if he turned him in (as if that was even necessary in this case), was just icing on the cake. Glad to see this conviction. Now, all we have to do is keep the White House out of the hands of the likes of Trump and DeSantis and maybe the guy will actually serve a good bit of his probable sentence.

Re: USA vs. GUY WESLEY REFFITT
Perhaps. But since the defense isn’t obligated to present anything, the fact that they didn’t shouldn’t be “telling” with respect to the government’s burden. A prosecutor wouldn’t be allowed to argue to the jury, “hey, we put on all this evidence and the defense didn’t call a single witness or admit a single document,” because that would be shifting the burden. I don’t see any difference between that and what this juror said.realist wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 8:58 amI think you are reaching too far for your conclusion.

Having said that, though, I agree with the juror that it likely was a simple case and the prosecution did meet it’s burden. I’m just really sensitive about this sort of stuff because I really don’t have any confidence that juries really understand burdens and standards of proof.

Re: USA vs. GUY WESLEY REFFITT
Not realistically. The "60 years" claim-- typical of poor reporting in criminal cases-- assumes the maximum sentence on every count, all served consecutively. The Federal Sentencing Guidelines will yield a much shorter than 60-year sentence. But still a substantial one, especially given the obstruction counts based on death threats to his children.The Texas man now faces up to 60 years in prison.

The seriousness of the crimes could motivate the judge to deem a consecutive sentence appropriate. Based on previous research I've done, the federal justice system typically gives concurrent sentences.

Edit: I just realized that I posted the same video as a fellow member posted earlier.
My apologies!
This was just posted this morning.
I don't know if this is the same juror MacFarlane texted about yesterday.
I wish more of this interview was posted. Having an opinion about the lack of defendant testimony doesn't mean that she used that opinion when voting.
The question in the jury room was rather or not the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that Reffitt committed these crimes.

Again, does ANYONE know if the JUROR used that word and is actually being accurately quoted?
I have yet to see the interview of the juror, so have no idea if Mr. MacFarlane ascribed that word to the juror, or if the juror actually used the word 'telling'.
Also, just to point this out--even if the juror used that word, it may not have been the correct word to use to describe the situation.
The lawyers here know that there's a legal description of 'actual malice', which doesn't mean the same thing to the average American as it does to lawyers. All of you lawyers are thinking like lawyers, but not like the average juror.
