All Charges Against All 4 Transporters Will Be Dropped. The State's District Attorney in Osage County, Mike Fisher still declares he was right about the Marijuana, But the 4 defendants are all too ignorant to be convicted. This legal maneuver may give cover to the law enforcement to keep the entire truckload, as an asset forfeiture of banned drugs. In a Tulsa World story published earlier this morning, The two trucking security partners, Andrew Ross and David Dirksen; said; “We knew we were innocent from the beginning,” Ross said. “As stressful as it was with that sort of sentence over our heads, there weren’t too many points where I was that worried or thought that anyone would convict me or send me to life in prison for what we were doing.” |  |
Lies of the State?
Fisher's case began to fall apart when he refused to go public with real facts. Facts like who actually tested the evidence and what types of testing were done. Fisher told Tulsa Radio KFAQ the "Redlands University" provided the test results. But there is no such entity as a university called 'Redlands'. A University is an education institution with not only certified Bachelor(4-year) degrees, but also Masters degree accredited academics. In further research, there is a junior college (2-year associates degree) state career-tech school called Redlands Community College, in El Reno, OK.
But when journalists reached out to the faculty at that Junior College, their response was that the Industrial Hemp testing lab is not yet set up to do such testing.
Fisher told talk show host, Pat Campbell, several months ago that over 3000lbs of the more than 16,000lb payload is legally classified as schedule 1 Marijuana, for criminal court purposes. Fisher waited a month and kept the two African immigrant truckers locked in jail, before he decided to drop charges against them, but at that point he doubled down against the transport security team who only provided a trail vehicle to drive behind the truck while making the specified trek.

Fisher reported at that time, that the truckers were expected to testify for prosecution in the attempt to punish the security team with life in prison for their collusion with the transport.

Get Ready To Be Sued
 DA Mike Fisher said last spring, that the Osage County Sheriff was holding the truck & payload, as evidence in a criminal trial. We're seeking updated information on the marketability of the hemp, which may have been baking in the summer heat, up to now. | Civil Lawsuits are already in the works Colorado May Sue Oklahoma Over Interstate Commerce Violation. Panacea Life, the Medical facility in Colorado who purchased the truckload of agricultural Hemp for it's CBD Oil, is already 'lawyered up" and has filed a suit in the case. They're methodically targeting each entity in the succession of the transaction. In a wise and safe strategy, they premised their first lawsuit with an assumption of the 'worst case scenario'; that the truck might be adjudicated as contraband or lost in asset forfeiture. So they filed against the Kentucky agricultural producers for fraud. This motivates the growers to join the fight even though they've been paid in full for the roughly half million dollar payload. It's filed in federal courts and the case will be followed closely. Assuming that the farmers prove the legality of the commodity in federal courts, Oklahoma will face the next likely suit. Since Mike Fisher is a state official, every Oklahoma taxpayer would be a defendant for the actions of the Pawhuska Police, the Osage Sheriff, and the District Attorney. And let's not forget the district court judges who had the authority to throw out the charges. |
We wrote a couple weeks ago Feds Legal Opinion Scolds Pawhuska Police, about the legal opinion published by the Federal Dept of Agriculture, and their General Counsel. That opinion deeply undercut the position of the DA, Mike Fisher.
The Predator Is Now the Prey
District Attorney Mike Fisher is now on defense. His law career is in deep jeopardy as he has to account for his behavior. He's possibly costing the state far more than his paycheck for an entire 4-year term of office. One Tulsa attorney predicts that this and other lawsuits naming Fisher as a defendant, will likely lead to his disbarment (preventing him from even practicing law in state courts), as a private practice attorney.
Ultimately Fisher must also make his case politically, to serve beyond his current term.

What is Asset Forfeiture?
Civil Asset Forfeiture is a legal maneuver of prosecutors whereby they seize property for being involved in a drug crime even though no criminal suspects are intended to be prosecuted. the author of the federal policy, former Attorney General, Ed Meese, told SoonerPolitics 20 months ago, that he now condemns the policy in it's current corruption. Meese said that in the 1980s it was the only tool of fighting international drug operations where the ringleaders were living in hostile nations, but the billions of dollars resulting from US distribution were held in US Banks. Meese said that President Jefferson adopted the policy during the heyday of Caribbean piracy. But the current police actions are the greater acts of piracy than the innocent citizens who lose their wealth and means of employment when police take their vehicles, tools, and wipe out savings accounts. All of this without even an indictment, much less a conviction.
