I read the entire transcripts from the Keith Henson trial today.
Astounding.
I do not agree that it was a travesty of justice, nor do I think that the judge was paid off, as so many critics like to charge.
Keith Henson involved himself in a idiotic/quixotic quest to deprogram the Gold Base Scientologists through picket signs. And the more it didn't work, the more desperate and over the top he got. Until finally, it became easy to charge him and convict him of the charge he was eventually convicted on - interfering with a religion.
He gave the Church reason to do whatever they could to get rid of him. Sure they play-acted their way into convincing the jury that they were terrified of him, and they presented all the manufactured evidence they could to mug their parts to the jury.
Keith is guilty of interfering with a religion, as the statute is written.
To attempt to have, as their only defense, Fair Game policies, without regard to the specific charges against him, was the stupidest defense conceivable. And then to present NO DEFENSE when the judge disallowed a religion's beliefs to be tried....well it defies reason.
And then, to FLEE TO CANADA from a misdemeanor conviction added more stupidity on top of colossal idiocy.
The transcripts show all critics on the Internet what tactics the Church will employ to dispose of their enemies quietly and without sorrow, if you are stupid or quixotic enough to let them.
Keith's mistakes should be our lessons.

It's understatement of what really happens." (RJ30); then, once the person is upset and freaked out, having accidentally read a little bit of the content of the dreaded Implant, discovered by L. Ron Hubbard at 4 in the morning after popping pills and consuming a bottle of Gin, the person is given a session in search of FNs and VGIs, and in the hope that the person has not permanently blocked his path to Total Freedom
