Another Judge Just Dissed The Rights Of Americans To Defend Themselves

For one shining moment, Reno, Nevada, Judge Patricia Lynch had the opportunity to join the big leagues—to be a judicial hero by doing the right thing. In this case by following the law and telling a completely misguided DA that in Nevada, we allow people to defend their homes and families with firearms. She blew it and consigned herself to the rookie leagues for the rest of her pathetic judicial career—which will hopefully end on January 7, 2017 when she is replaced by a real judge who will be elected in November of 2016. Judge Lynch presided over the preliminary hearing in the case of State of Nevada vs. James David Norrell, a young man who had the nerve to defend his home standing in his apartment with a weapon and a set of handcuffs. Instead of actually listening to the evidence and using the preliminary hearing as an opportunity to stop a bad case in its tracks, she played along with Reno911 and totally ignored Norrell’s rights under the Second Amendment and Nevada law to defend himself, his child, and pregnant wife from an uninvited painter who came onto his third floor balcony without the nicety of knocking on the door. No shots were fired, and nobody was hurt; and in fact, it was Norrell himself who called Reno911–for which he was arrested by a patrolman with two years of experience and an obvious lack of understanding of the concept of self defense. Interestingly, while the arrest was actually made by Patrolman Jorge Aparicio, also in attendance—first on the scene, in fact—was a vastly more experienced Lieutenant Nate Parker, who was nowhere to be seen at the hearing. Only Aparicio testified, and he testified under questioning from defense counsel Byron Bergeron that the Reno PD’s training would have him pull his weapon against a knife-brandishing assailant at 21 feet.
