Federal judge dismisses trial, contends ATF "created fictitious crime"

All three plead guilty after their arrest in September and were awaiting sentencing from Real, who instead, dismissed the case.

According to court transcripts, the three defendants had been recruited by confidential informants, who were given $8,600 to "��convince citizens to join the government'��s scheme," in Judge Reals' words.

He further pointed out that none of the three men had a history of being involved in matters concerning guns, tax violations, or liquor that would have brought them under the ATF's scrutiny. This was described by the federal judge in court as,� "�trolling poor neighborhoods to ensure and ensnare its poor citizens."

Judge Real dismissed the U.S Attorney's case against the three men, "��for the government's outrageous conduct,"�� and ordered their release in the May 12 hearing. He found that, in his opinion, there had been no crime to charge them with in the first place.

"The government created the fictitious crime from whole cloth,"�� said Real.

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” Ayn Rand -FN-
