Judge dismisses gun charge because law is “not clear”. I’ll bet even if the jury finds him guilty, this jerkwad will overturn the verdict.
He has no business being a judge.

Some here understand that bending the law to get the verdict you want against a person you don’t like is fascism. This echo chamber is full of it.
No matter what B1G thinks there was a substantial section of the population who didn’t consider Trump President either. Watching this whole chamber do what they only accuse conservatives of doing is oddly satisfying, but sad.
I said 5 days ago when the curfew charge was dismissed that the gun charge probably wasn't far behind. It's ambiguous and lenity is probably rightly being applied here.
Man I hate it when defendants I don't like are afforded rights too.
I'm calling BS. There was never a "substantial section of the population who didn't considerer Trump president."
C'mon man. Do you have anything to back that up?

Sometimes you have to explain really slowly to people that Twitter is not a real place. Just because #notmypresident is trending doesn't mean you're getting a representative sample.
Baloney. No one who wrote that gun law had any intentions of including AR’s with “long guns”. They only wrote the exception for minors to incude hunters, and anyone not being disingenuous knows that.
Then why did the judge dismiss the initial attempt to have the charge dropped? Because at that point, he hadn’t accumulated an extreme dislike for the prosecuting attorney.
no attorney in his right mind would attempt a line of questioning the judge has forbidden; and I don’t know how often judges “open that door” or how often prosecutors try to go through it; but I’d bet anything, if a prosecutor gives that as a reason for doing it the judge doesn’t shout “I don’t believe you!”.
Judge is a whack job, and if you think he’s allowing this case to proceed fairly, you and I have different understandings of what that word means.
Talk about assumptions, LOL.
His problem is with the lazily written exceptions. The judge is just an easy target.
No judge is going to way some assumed "intention" to rule against the plain language of a statute. This is the part of the statutes applying to the defendant - " These restrictions only apply to a person under age 18 who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the firearm is a short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun." If the judge had allowed that charge to remain and the jury convicted, the entire verdict would have been overturned on appeal. BTW, below are two .223 caliber weapons. Disregard the scope, as either or neither may be scoped. You might familiarize yourself with the assault weapon ban of 1994, where they tried to use cosmetics to determine what was an "assault weapon." The gun manufacturers easily designed around them. The magazine restriction is a separate matter. I favor it, although it's also easily circumvented...
So the prosecution's closing argument makes it abundantly clear that provocation is their sole angle of attack here.
Binger did his best but it's a line of reasoning that would only work if this is a particularly stupid jury.

You're trying to ignore the exceptions. As I said, had the judge let the charge stand, the whole case could have been reversed. Then everyone would be at the judge's throat for letting it remain...
Then why did he not dismiss the charge initially when the defense filed a motion to do so?
