Round 2: Wyoming Corner Crossing

[schlumpyj]

Seems like the Carbon County prosecutor can’t take no for an answer…

Hunters face new corner-crossing trespass charges - WyoFile

A jury found four Missouri men not guilty of trespassing when they corner-crossed in 2021. Now three of them face similar charges stemming from a hunting trip in 2020.

Sour freaking grapes.
Eshelman, being a resident of North Carolina, didn't get the hint the first time the jury returned with the not guilty verdict from actual WY residents. Maybe they need to explain it in more plain terms.
I'm trying very hard to keep comments civil so I don't get a strike on the forum, but people like this boil my blood.

Would seem to me the district has an issue with corruption. Someone’s in to close with the ranchers or other big money in that court system. Amazing that they are willing to keep pushing the issue and burning tax payers money to do it in such a publicized case. Generally cockroaches try to stay to the shadows and out of the limelight.

This is dirty.

“Judge Stipe signed the summons Monday, April 25 and a deputy served them to the three hunters on April 27, just before Stipe began the voir dire jury selection process in Rawlins.”

“According to two sources who either witnessed the serving or heard it described to the judge, the deputy handed the summons to the defendants in front of most of the 58-member jury pool while the defense attorneys, prosecutors and the judge were in a conference in a separate room.”

Dirty. Hope it bites them.

Wow it's almost like that show Yellowstone!

Dirty.... Its time for Wyoming residents to start voting sum people out of office... The people in Carbon County would be of to a good start voting the district attorney and the County Sherriff out of office...

If that's true, that likely would have been grounds for a mistrial for the defense, or at least could have caused that entire jury pool to have been struck.
Again...if that's true

Is the BHA going to pick up the tab for these charges as well?

Gonna get a second loss the way it sounds.

Corruption at its ugliest. What a crock of sh*t. Post the GoFundMe link. Im in.

 

[Scrappy]

The people that work for the ranch owner should be made to feel real uncomfortable, and plain unwelcome in carbon County. Make it so Eshelman can't find anyone to work for his sorry a$$.

Why do you care?

BHA didn't pick up the tab they ran a go fund page...big difference

Not being one of the men sticking my neck out, I am somewhat glad this is getting tried again so soon after the first. Hopefully the winds of change are strong enough that this trial reaches a speedy conclusion and just enforces the first verdict.

I feel like this second trial paints the issue in an even more clear light of the level of corruption and greed involved. I hope it gets a lot of press. This is the type of thing that helps to get public support and hopefully clear rulings and eventually sets precedence or gets corner crossing codified.

It is time to really double down and use the momentum from the first case.

This prosecutor is an embarrassment to CJS … what a joke

 

[Squincher]

I'd never heard of a state without a Statute of Limitations...…until now.

It certainly sounds like Circuit Court Judge Susan Stipe is beholding to someone. The timing of this action is GLARING.

According to discussion on another site, a mistrial was requested immediately upon defense attorneys finding out what had happened. It was denied by the judge.

This things playing out like the rising action in a Joe Pickett story.
