I'm sorry....it is GREAT that he is out. It is GREAT that he is trying to fight for his record to be expunged (even though he was in fact guilty).....but can we PLEASE start an "Official Brian Aitken Thread" and just put ANYTHING Brian Aitken related there? We LITERALLY have 14 threads that have been started about him.

 

Bring on he negative rep.

I agree and almost am tired of hearing about it. I guess what kinda gets me going is that Frank was directly responsible for getting the local attention and they crapped on him and the nj2as. As his GF says, once it got a little attention in snow balled and that was a result of Frank doing his thing.

 

His next statement of, everyone knows I'm innocent is not true. Those smart enough know that you did indeed commit a crime. You just got so railroaded in the trial, that he is now likely to get off free and actually change NJ laws for the better.

 

Let's get a brian aitken sticky please or one thread.

I agree, please keep all Brian Aitken related posts, videos, and info in this thread. Thanks.

My speakers are unplugged. Can someone please type out what they are saying? Thanks.

he says that the first week he was in jail, he was raped and that now he loves men.

 

I'm sorry, had to. What do you think they are saying...

Thank you. I hate to complain like that, but the threads got excessive. It is an interesting topic that needs attention and recognition, but that can be given this way.

I only watched part of the first video. The news woman was basically saying that Brian got arrested for having pistols that he legally purchased, unloaded and locked in his trunk. And Brian agreed that was what he got arrested for. It's basically trying to create more of a sympathy vote for him.

Scott Bach's opinion piece in today's Star Ledger.

 

 

And no mention of the NJ2AS. I think we deserved a mention Mr. Bach

I'm not sure how he can get the high capacity magazine charge overturned, there are zero exceptions he can apply. If he can have a federal court rule that NJ magazine capacity restriction laws are unconstitutional and illegal, there is still the problem that he was already convicted while the law was in place. I'm not sure how that would work. Would NJ have to give new trials to all those folks who have been convicted in the past for high capacity magazines?

 

He may be able to get the hollow point ammo overturned if he can successfully argue that he was transporting them from place of purchase in Colorado to his home in NJ.

In his defense, I think the article was cut down for space. Mr Bach makes no mention of what should be reformed which is unlike him. He may have had a word limit on this piece. It can be hard to tell a story with a limited amount of space/words.

he says that the first week he was in jail, he was raped and that now he loves men.

Your funny

Would NJ have to give new trials to all those folks who have been convicted in the past for high capacity magazines?

No. The only way someone can take advantage of a changed law or penalty is if the change occurs BEFORE conviction. Also, if a change does occur, they will get the lesser of the penalties. Let's say the law was 1 year per hi-cap mag. Let's say BA was arrested, penalty changes to 6 months per hi-cap mag, then convicted.....he gets 6 months per hi-cap mag because that is the lesser penalty. Let's say he is arrested, penalty changes to 5 years, then convicted.....he gets still gets 1 year per hi-cap mag because the penalty changed after arrest. Neither would change BA's case, as he was already convicted. The only option he has right now is to appeal.

Now if Heller II ends up at the SCOTUS and they find the AWB and hi-cap bans unconstitutional then anyone serving time for those types of offences has the right to file an immediate appeal for release...

We could only be so lucky....
