Yes, there will be some technical dogma that will explain why "it had to be this way to expose the truth" and of course, they'll never be sentenced.
Heather spun the foreclosure of her own house with pretty much this storyline as the biggest victory EVER!
I just hope she doesn't get pre-sentencing release.
That bit about losing the current fight and declaring that they'll win the next battle reminds me of the Black Knight in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." (for you young'uns who don't remember:

As I recall, Heather essentially cast her arrest in terms of some sort of messianic martyrdom to ensure that the truth came out. One post detailing this:

And with every defeat, the next one will be the one where the truth is revealed. I don't recall more quotes from either Heather or her followers to that effect but I'd bet anything they're out there. It's all part of the rationalizations that cult leaders use to explain their failures of "prophesy." CF: Jehovah's Witnesses on all the failed end-of-the-world predictions over the last 150 years.
Another SovCit group, the Colorado pretend judge/pretend grand jury LARPers headed by pretend judge Bruce Doucette, have said similar things all the way down the line from arrest into conviction. First, it was at trial that they were going to be able to bring the truth to the world. Then, when all those who have stood trial so far have been swiftly convicted and sentenced to decades in jail, the truth is gonna come out on appeal. The rationalization: trial courts aren't required to follow the Constitution -- only appeals courts and the supreme court are. Eventually, in another 20 years when Steven Byfield and Stephen Nalty are up for parole, the rhetoric will be that the parole hearing is when the truth will finally be revealed, if these doddering geezers even live long enough to make it to their first hearing (and if anyone still cares by then).
PS: if Heather gets pre-sentencing release and decides to do a runner, I think tons of hilarity will ensue. She's overestimating the number and capability of her network of followers, so it's not like there's a well-tuned sort of "underground railroad" to spirit her to safety. She'll be ponderously easy to track and will at least double her prison term as a result.
