Neighbor burgled.

[m25operator]

Thanks everyone, he gave me 3 guns to put in my safe to keep safe, still violated, but coming to grips with the situation, it makes your blood boil, but being a neighbor, you need to keep yourselves as safe as you can. my wife has not come to grip with  this sit rep.  Thanks all the more. This neighbor is the one that I count on, with my precision rifles I have him covered in a conflict. at his front door.

The one thing I do like about the US is the three strikes rule. I wish we had something like that here, instead of soft cock judiciary always siding with the crims.

you forgot  that if they go to trial  that there Past history is not mentioned in court  it is case by case each time  ARRRRRRRRR

Is that for the guilt or the punishment phase? If its for the guilt phase, its the right thing to do do, presuption of innocence and all that. Just because you screwed up in the past doesn't mean you did it this time. Punishment, post conviction on the other hand, it is, or should be, a whole different animal. That said, I don't like "three strikes" laws or mandatory minimums or "zero tolerance", or the rest of it. Commonsense has to prevail, and that means judicial discretion. We might choose the wrong judges (on one side or the other), but better that than a "one size fits all" rule that defys logic.

FQ you are right. We cannot mention anything about previous case files or convictions. Even if it shows same Method of operation. I have had slezy defense attorneys make statements that their client has never been in touble, trying to sucker me into saying something about previous case files to get the case thrown out. It does come into play with sentencing. Usually juries will look at you and say why did you not tell us about what they did in the past can not do it. They get a unbiased jury every time.

That's a big pant load of our legal system for ya!  Ridiculous!  It's more and more common for repeat offenders of all types of crime to be out on the streets because of over crowding, state budgets, whatever.  I think it's foolish for a jury to not know the looser has been busted five other times for a similar crime before!!!

It is only fair that they get the right to a unbiased jury.

[tombogan03884]

The Constitution does NOT guarantee an "unbiased" jury. It promises a "Jury of YOUR PEERS".
Prior conduct should be mentioned.

Make them ALL" RICO" Prosecutions, that way the past record it's self becomes evidence.

Got a sit rep from my neighbor, the perp was caught, the cool guns were gone, ar15, mini 14, and a much loved lightweight commander that I installed a Kart barrel on, due to a very overloaded cartridge, and belonged to a beloved friend who passed. More to come as my friend picks up what is left on Monday, Tools, guns etc...

Thanks group.

Too bad LEO'S can't waterboard him, or at least say we're going to,..... I hear it will make him sing like a bird.....pawn shops, other scumbags, wherever they went to possibly get them back.

Glad he was caught regardless. I hope "Bubba" takes a liking to him in jail....
