It's probably a good thing that I'm not a lawyer, but my "counter-plea" (if you will) would be something along the lines of this:WildBill wrote:It sounds like the DA is going to "Plan B".Quote from 24hourcampfire website wrote:He knew certain hospitals in the state ban private gun owners, concealed weapons permits or not, from bringing guns inside the facilities. He said he checked the entrances of Metroplex for signs warning against carrying his gun inside, and, finding none, entered.
“There are still no signs,” said Sampson’s attorney Kurt Glass, a retired Army veteran.
The police officer reported smelling alcohol on Sampson’s breath, but Sampson said a test to determine blood-alcohol content was never administered.
Glass said Sampson rejected a plea offer that would have required him to pay a $100 fine and court costs and forfeit his weapon.
On Wednesday, the sides were at an impasse with a trial date set for Monday when Kalafut amended the charge to include a designation that alleges Sampson was intoxicated while in the hospital with his gun, a clear violation of the concealed handgun law.
If the arresting office forfeits his gun to my client, you (the DA) forfeit your gun to my client as well, compensate my client for the embarrassment YOU and your OFFICER have caused him, drop the charges, expunge his record, etc...then we will not pursue false arrest charges, unlawful imprisonment charges, etc. against YOU and the OFFICER. Understand?
Like I said, it's probably a good thing I'm not a lawyer.
