Don't know if I can say it any better than Stewart and Bolins dissent. In Alabama a citizen can make an arrest. I personally have a problem with some of the things he did but bottom line it wasn't something that the Supreme Court thought was relevant. From the time this thread started I thought the case was bullshit. The point of my post is that Aldeer is attacking the District Judges Character and honesty and frankly making threats that cross a line in a case where the law was broad enough to support a conviction on these facts.
