Max Obuszewski's take on the sentencing of Elizabeth McAlister
Thanks for mentioning Liz’s sentencing. I couldn’t get THE SUN to do the same. Below
is my take on the sentencing.
In my biased opinion, Judge Wood is quite
insecure. I was told she was one of the first female judges in Glynn
County, Georgia.
I believe it was the first morning of jury
selection, and defendant Patrick O’Neill needed a bathroom break. His
request was denied by Judge Wood, but Patrick had to go. So he left the
courtroom, and Wood sent a marshal to try to bring him back. I assume she
did not want to “lose control” of her courtroom.
There are some issues I will raise about today’s
sentencing. First, Judge Wood trotted out the old bromide about Liz being
convicted by a jury of her peers. Remember now this is the county where
Ahmaud Arbery was lynched, and also note the Trident Base is the economic
center of that area. I would argue Liz was not convicted by her peers.
The other troubling
matter for me was that the “victims” were given the opportunity to speak before
sentencing. The victims? One seemed to be the Navy and the others
presumably were people on the base affected by the disarmament which took place
April 4, 2018. I and others are affected by the Kings Bay Trident
Base, as tax dollars spent on illegal weaponry is a theft from the poor.
And those weapons could destroy Mother Earth as we know her. So I just
want to point out that I am a victim of this Trident base, and the Kings Bay
Plowshares tried to end my victimization.
Unfortunately, the court was not listening to any concern
about my victimhood. Also note as part of the sentencing, Liz lost her
right to own an assault weapon.
Kagiso, Max
