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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
