What part? This is all easily accessible info.All bullshit and you know it.....
All of it. His conviction isn't a disqualifying event.What part? This is all easily accessible info.
Damn, Pled guilty to entering federal property under false pretenses.For your viewing pleasure:
That I agree with. My disagreement was with his characterization of the event which he plead guilty on; and his "I would have fought it today" claim.His conviction isn't a disqualifying event.
the 10 years is only if "with intent to commit a felony". That, to my knowledge, wasn't the charge applied.Damn, Pled guilty to entering federal property under false pretenses.
10 year sentence. Yup, he's disqualified forever.
18 U.S. Code § 1036
(b) The punishment for an offense under subsection (a) of this section is—
(1) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both, if the offense is committed with the intent to commit a felony; or
(2) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or both, in any other case.
After i read the article you posted and then looked up the code and posted that,the 10 years is only if "with intent to commit a felony". That, to my knowledge, wasn't the charge applied.
Cool, your Google works. How does that contradict anything that I posted?Details matter.....
Citizen O'Keefe Update: A Plea Bargain in Phone Tampering Case? - FindLaw
On March 26, the Associated Press reported that conservative activist James O'Keefe looks to have struck a plea deal with prosecutors in his case for allegedly planning to tamper with the phones in the New Orleans office of Senator Mary Landrieu last January. The new charges have been lowered to...blogs.findlaw.com
The problem with that rational is that "with intent to commit a felony" would be a separate element of the crime. The lesser 6 month max crime has fewer elements that would need to be proven. You cannot apply the 10 years as a possible max sentence for the crime O'Keefe was found guilty of in this case.After i read the article you posted and then looked up the code and posted that,
I do think he's pretty screwed. Sort of like copping to a dui in MA and getting off with a fine and community service. Still lost your gun rights forever and ever.
If the reporting in the article you posted is accurate, he pled guilty to an offense that could result in a 10 year sentence.
MA DUI conviction is a misdemeanor, but is a jail sentence of two years. So, Jimmy isn't convicted felon, per se, but the prison time he could of faced makes him ineligible for a gun.
Agreed.The problem with that rational is that "with intent to commit a felony" would be a separate element of the crime. The lesser 6 month max crime has fewer elements that would need to be proven.

See post 3
The end result didnt = the above as per the link I posted
As for the charge triggering a NCIS denial... entering a fed building u/f/p could be punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment if w/ intent to commit a felon, however this is not the charge that was applied. Any other case of entering a fed building u/f/p is punishable by up to 6 months - as he stated.
