On January 12, Ed Brown of Plainfield, New Hampshire walked out of his federal criminal tax trial protesting what he claimed was the District Court’s unjust deprivation of his Rights to Due Process and a Fair Trial. He retreated to his rural home and publicly announced that he would resort to armed resistance if U.S. officials attempted to intercede or further deprive him his constitutionally protected Rights.

At the heart of Brown’s protest is the Court’s failure, in denying Brown’s substantive and dispositive pre-trial motions, to properly respond to the questions and issues that were presented to the Court in the motions – that is, the Court’s failure to state the facts and the questions being presented by Brown, the law and how the Court was applying the law to answer the questions.

For instance, Brown motioned for a Bill of Particulars asking the Government to more fully explain the Indictment — twice. He asked many specific questions about the law he was being charged with violating since the indictment merely charged him with violating a “penalty” statute that did not directly impose any legal duty upon him. He cited legal authorities justifying his Right to the information. The Court denied the motion stating in large part that the information contained in the Indictment was sufficient. Read More HERE
