A federal appeals court on Tuesday overturned the conviction of a Montana man who shot and killed a protected grizzly bear near Ronan in 2014, ruling that he should have been able to claim that he acted in self-defense. The three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Brian Charette's case back to U.S. District Court, where he had been convicted of unlawfully taking a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act. |

So, having paid for a trial and an appeal, the victim now gets to pay for a trial all over again.
It doesn't matter if they convict you in the end, as long as they ruin your life on the way there. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
