Re: Pete's going to the pokey
I wonder if he will end up in the Federal Prison Camp in Duluth, MN.
I have seen Jerry Koosman there.

Can't take that bet, Judge, I'm certain he'd run. Matches his psychology.

Re: Pete's going to the pokey
I dunno, but I can't wait to see how Hendrickson and His Haughty Heroes decide to characterize the BlowhardMeister's second term in federal prison. Let's see now.... Pete has a tendency to characterize federal court judgments against him as being "void." As I recall, when he petitioned the United States Supreme Court after his loss on the erroneous tax refund case and the Court refused to hear his case, he tried to argue that his loss wasn't really a loss because the district court judgment was "void" and therefore the question was "moot" (and his followers weren't smart enough to ask the question "Well, Pete, if the district court judgment against you was "void" and the question was therefore somehow "moot," then why the heck did you bother to appeal?").Judge Roy Bean wrote:Any bets on if he were to be released that he'd rabbit?
So, maybe Pete's impending federal prison sentence should be served with the argument by his followers that his time is prison is going to be "void" or "moot."
Otherwise, I'm stumped.

Re: Pete's going to the pokey
It took Judge Rosen 5 whole days to make up his mind? And he didn't need to hear from the government first?06/09/2010 108 MOTION for Release from Custody Pending Appeal by Peter Hendrickson. (Attachments: # 1 Document Continuation Memorandum of Law in Support of Motion for Release Pending Appeal, # 2 Document Continuation Certificate of Service) (Butler - NOT SWORN, William) (Entered: 06/09/2010)
06/14/2010 109 ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR RELEASE PENDING APPEAL re 108 Motion for Release from Custody as to Peter Hendrickson (1). Signed by District Judge Gerald E Rosen. (RGun) (Entered: 06/14/2010)
The actual order represents judicial understatement at its best:
Judge Rosen wrote:UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
PETER HENDRICKSON,
Defendant.
Case No. 08-20585
Hon. Gerald E. Rosen
______________________________/
ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S
MOTION FOR RELEASE PENDING APPEAL
At a session of said Court, held in
the U.S. Courthouse, Detroit, Michigan
on June 14, 2010
PRESENT: Honorable Gerald E. Rosen
Chief Judge, United States District Court
By motion filed on June 9, 2010, Defendant Peter Hendrickson requests that he be permitted to remain free on bond pending the resolution of his appeal of his conviction and sentence. This request is governed by 18 U.S.C. § 3143(b)(1), which provides in pertinent part:
18 U.S.C. § 3143(b)(1). “This statute creates a presumption against release pending appeal.” United States v. Sabino, No. 04-3499, 97 F. App’x 626, 627 (6th Cir. May 14, 2004) (citing United States v. Vance, 851 F.2d 166, 169-70 (6th Cir. 1988)).[T]he judicial officer shall order that a person who has been found guilty of an offense and sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and who has filed an appeal or a petition for a writ of certiorari, be detained, unless the judicial officer finds —
(A) by clear and convincing evidence that the person is not likely to flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community if released . . . ; and
(B) that the appeal is not for the purpose of delay and raises a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in —
(i) reversal,
(ii) an order for a new trial,
(iii) a sentence that does not include a term of imprisonment, or
(iv) a reduced sentence to a term of imprisonment less than the total of the time already served plus the expected duration of the appeal process.
The Court finds that Defendant has not overcome this presumption against release, because he has not identified a substantial question of law or fact that he intends to pursue on appeal. The Sixth Circuit has explained that the “substantial question” prong of § 3143(b)(1) is satisfied if “the appeal presents a close question or one that could go either way and . . . the question is so integral to the merits of the conviction that it is more probable than not that reversal or a new trial will occur if the question is decided in the defendant’s favor.” United States v. Pollard, 778 F.2d 1177, 1182 (6th Cir. 1985) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). The “substantial questions” identified in Defendant’s present motion are precisely the same issues he raised at trial and in his postverdict motion for a judgment of acquittal or new trial. This Court has thoroughly addressed and rejected these challenges — most of them on more than one occasion.
Upon once again considering the issues raised in Defendant’s present motion, the Court cannot say that any of them “present[] a close question or one that could go either way,” such that Defendant’s release pending appeal would be warranted under § 3143(b)(1). To the contrary, Defendant merely rehashes legal challenges that have very little prospect of
success on appeal, for the reasons previously explained in the Court’s various pre-trial, trial, and post-verdict opinions and rulings.
Accordingly,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s June 9, 2010 motion for release pending appeal (docket #108) is DENIED.

Don't forget that "secret plan" by which "Pete will never see a day of prison" that was talked about a few months ago over at LostHeads, with sly intonations that the Michigan Militia was somehow going to spirit him away from the Marshals and hide him out somewhere (Michigan is a BIG state).

They didn't help the Other group of Militia Men that were busted up there recently (Hurtee?). IIRC A couple of them ran to the Michigan Militia and the Militia Men dropped a dime.Joey Smith wrote:Don't forget that "secret plan" by which "Pete will never see a day of prison" that was talked about a few months ago over at LostHeads, with sly intonations that the Michigan Militia was somehow going to spirit him away from the Marshals and hide him out somewhere (Michigan is a BIG state).

I think it more likely he'll be hearing "BEND OVER, B*****" than "STAND TALL WARRIORS" in the near future.

Re: Pete's going to the pokey
The appeal had the same result as everything else he filed? But...but...it was worded differently! "Hendrickson Bucks" was supposed to be a slam dunk!
Re: Pete's going to the pokey
I didn't realize Judge Rosen was involved in this case. Rosen has little tolerance for nonsense. It will be funny to hear the protestors categorize Rosen as a Liberal shill, seeing as how Judge Rosen is a staunch Conservative and a member of the Federalist Society. But putting Hendrickson away is clearly evidence of his socialist views, right?

A shame. He's a very impressive man to meet and is unwavering in his defense of the Constitution. If these people only knew. I had the privilege of sitting through Judge Rosen's Evidence class when I was a visiting student at Wayne State, in Detroit, many years ago.

Re: Pete's going to the pokey
Something occurred to me regarding Preposterous Pete and his Pending Partaking of Prison. In the March 29, 2009 New York Times article about Hendrickson, reporter Jason Zengerle states that in Pete's first federal prison term, his sentence was reduced to 30 days in prison and 11 months in a halfway house.
See Jason Zengerle, "Hell Nay, We Won't Pay," March 29, 2009, New York Times, at:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/magaz ... xes-t.html
On this go-round, Hendrickson has been sentenced to 33 months -- of which he will presumably be required to serve at 85% of the sentence, or about two years and four months.
I tend to think of the Blowhard Himself as a more or less hardened, obdurate, recalcitrant recidivist - but it must be sobering for his unfortunate children to think that now he will have to serve at least twenty-eight times as much time in the Pokey as he did the first time. I suspect the daughter is so young she probably does not even remember Pete's first prison sentence, and maybe the son wasn't even born yet.
I feel bad for the kids.
