In an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but acknowledges that prosecutors have enough evidence to obtain a conviction.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said Thursday that police found 10 guns and drugs, including LSD, marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and mushrooms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So he goes back to court in September for sentencing &#8211; he faces 15 years on those charges. He still on probation from his guilty plea in DC for loading a shotgun on the streets of that city for a video. I&#8217;ve watched Kokesh get arrested for his various antics no less than five times since he first came on our radar back in 2007. If my memory still serves me, these two arrests are the first time he was actually sentenced to anything. I guess he thought he was bullet proof and he kept upping the ante. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In response to a judge\u2019s questions Thursday, Kokesh said he had \u201cdeliberately made an act of civil disobedience\u201d by creating the video. But he said he had not anticipated that it would lead to the raid on his Snowflake Court home. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, his luck had to run out eventually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Tango sends us a link to the Washington Post which reports that, in Fairfax County, &hellip; <a title=\"Kokesh&#8217;s Virginia conviction\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=50835\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Kokesh&#8217;s Virginia conviction<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-whackos","category-ivaw"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50835\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
