Thursday, July 2nd, 2009In a nutshell, today really sucked for Ed and Elaine Brown. The prosecution’s case didn’t just take shape, it sprouted wings and flew. The jury learned that: The marshals bent over backwards to ensure a peaceful end to the standoff Zoe the dog is an nice puppy and a thief The undercover marshals who eventually [...]
Brown Trial: Wednesday, July 1, 2009
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009I know what you’re thinking. Timelines and arrest warrants are so boooring. When is she gonna’ get to the bombs? Patience, young grasshoppers. Hmmm…. Great big bugs with gooey innards, the other white meat… But I digest. Witness Chief Deputy Gary DiMartino (Continued) Cross examination of this witness was brief and relatively unenlightening. Defense counsel [...]
Ed and Elaine Brown on Trial: Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Greetings, all ye red crayon fans! I’m back in the land of Dunkin’ Donuts, minimum speed limits, and lily white jurors. It’s June 30, 2009 and New Hampshire tax deniers Ed and Elaine Brown are finally having their day in court. Over the next two weeks, they’ll learn what fate awaits them as a result [...]
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Or in Danny Riley’s case, I guess that would be the pipe bombs calling. The final Brown supporter was sentenced yesterday to what is practically a life sentence — 36 years. Even if Danny decided to become a model prisoner and qualified for the maximum amount of time off for good behavior, he wouldn’t be free until he’s 72 [...]
Rebel without a Clue
Monday, October 27th, 2008Sorry for the delay in posting about Reno Gonzalez’ sentencing but I got a little distracted this last month. Fortunately, an ace reporter named Margot Sanger-Katz was at the scene, and she made sure that you all got the big news by the following day. While it’s too late for Reno to make smart choices in [...]
Reno Gonzalez will be sentenced tomorrow
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Welcome back to the Red Crayons blog! I just returned tonight to the land of a thousand Dunkin Donuts shops and minimum speed limit signs – that’s right, New Hampshire. Lots of trees, lots of granite, lots of Freestate Flakes. Cirino “Reno” Gonzalez is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow morning at 10:00 and I’m in town [...]
Brown supporter Jason Gerhard sentenced to 20 years in federal prison
Friday, August 1st, 2008The first two Brown supporters were sentenced yesterday in the New Hampshire Federal District Court to lengthy sentences as a result of their involvement in the nine-month armed standoff involving Ed and Elaine Brown. Robert Wolffe As you may recall from prior blog posts covering the first round of criminal trials in detail, Bob Wolffe pled guilty and testified [...]
One year later
Thursday, April 24th, 2008Today marks the one-year anniversary of the sentencing of Edward and Elaine Brown. As a result of their criminal tax convictions and refusal to appear in court, they each received a 63 month prison sentence which they started to serve on October 4, 2007. Had Elaine accepted the deal she’d cut with the government and resisted [...]
Day 10: Reno and the Closing Arguments
Friday, April 4th, 2008Kudos to the US Marshals who have been sitting and standing guard around the courtroom over the last two weeks. When you consider that the defendants are on trial for engaging in an armed standoff with Ed Brown, a man who swore to kill any US Marshal who tried to arrest him, they’ve shown remarkable restraint. [...]
Day 7: A dangerous mind and the truth about Dogwalker Day
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008Today was Twofer Tuesday – two big witnesses with two big stories. Witness Anthony Dorothy Mr. Dorothy is a prison snitch. He’s a highly intelligent man who has done really stupid and immoral things. He reminds me of Hannibal Lecter, but without the moral compass. Since 1993, Dorothy has pled guilty or no contest to [...]
