[Lnc-business] Fwd: Resolution on Heicklen/Schmidter case

[Vicki Kirkland]

I would like to amend the agenda Saturday morning to add the following
motion.

Vicki Kirkland


>
> WHEREAS the Libertarian Party supports the Constitutional protections
enshrined in the Bill of Rights, as well as the right of jurors to judge
not just the facts of the law, but also whether the law itself is just, and
whether it was fairly applied, and
>
> WHEREAS Libertarians believe that distributing information to members of
the public in public places about juror rights, in accord with the free
speech protections of the First Amendment, should not be infringed, and
>
> WHEREAS the Libertarian Party's platform states that "Criminal laws
should be limited to violation of the rights of others through force or
fraud, or deliberate actions that place others involuntarily at significant
risk of harm," and that "The rights of due process, a speedy trial, legal
counsel, trial by jury, and the legal presumption of innocence until proven
guilty, must not be denied.
..

> THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee hereby
condemns the decisions of Judge Perry in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court
of Florida and the Fifth Judicial District Court of Appeals in Flordia in
the cases of Mark Schmidter and Julian Heicklen and
urges that these decisions be reversed.
