If the money were there, and most lawyers are in the business of making money (There's nothing wrong with that.), you would have no problem finding an out-of-town lawyer to take the case.
How that works is that only after you are acquitted, you can look at suing the sheriff or the county.Quote:

Might be time to do some lawyer shopping and look beyond your town to a larger metropolis for another attorney.

I actually now have a "big shot" attorney. He himself seems shocked that this has not been dismissed.
What about orc 2967.16 where it says that I am restored all my civil rights?
Hello again, t:
That would be a great question for your big shot attorney.

That is one of his main arguments... amongst other things
You mean this:Quote:

Perhaps "rights and privileges forfeited" means the same as "position of honor, trust, or profit", which in turn doesn't include the right to own a firearm. That's one possible way of interpreting it.
