This case isn’t over. Not even close.

The trial did not end the way we hoped it would. We respect the jury and the process, but we do not believe the result represents justice—and we are not done fighting.

We believe there are significant constitutional and legal issues in this case and very strong issues for appeal. We also continue to believe that the punishment being sought for a nonviolent man with no criminal history, who harmed no one, is completely disproportionate to what actually happened.

And some of the biggest questions remain the same:

How did the government get here? How far should law enforcement be permitted to go when investigating a citizen? And does the punishment remotely fit the conduct?

On Tuesday at 7:00 PM, I’ll be discussing the case, the trial, what happened, and where we go from here with Larry Sharpe, Libertarian candidate for Governor of New York.

If you’ve been following this case—or if you care about due process, constitutional rights, government overreach, or proportional justice—I hope you’ll tune in.

We may have lost a battle. The fight is not over.

**Another conversation about an important case as we prepare for trial.**

Our client’s trial begins Monday, August 17.

Over the past several weeks, we have appeared on a number of podcasts and radio programs discussing this case. Some of the information in this latest interview will be familiar to those who have followed the story. But every conversation is different. Different hosts ask different questions, explore different issues, and give our client another opportunity to tell his story in his own words.

And right now, we believe getting that story out matters.

Our client has **no criminal history**. He is a gun hobbyist who harmed no one. He never sold guns or drugs, never threatened anyone, and never used a firearm against another person.

We have serious legal and constitutional concerns about how this investigation was conducted and how this case was built. Those issues will now be litigated in court.

But there is also a larger question that anyone—regardless of how you feel about fi****ms or New York’s gun laws—should be willing to ask:

**Does the punishment fit the conduct?**

We believe the potential punishment our client faces doesn't come close to fitting what actually occurred. A justice system should be capable of recognizing the difference between a violent criminal and a person with no criminal history whose conduct harmed no one.

With trial only days away, we hope people will take the time to hear the story, consider the issues for themselves, and share this interview with others.

Some of it may sound familiar. Some of it won't. Either way, **the more people who hear this story, the better.**

If you believe punishment should be proportionate and constitutional protections matter, **please share this interview and help us get the story out.**

Another opportunity to hear the full story.

We recently appeared on another podcast to discuss this case in greater depth.

Our client is a gun hobbyist with no criminal history. He was federally compliant. He has never sold guns or drugs, never threatened anyone, and never used a firearm against anyone. No one was harmed.

He may ultimately be found to have violated New York’s complex and constantly changing fi****ms laws. But that does not answer two important questions:

Was the way he was targeted and investigated lawful? And does the punishment fit the conduct?

We believe there are serious constitutional issues with how this case was built, and that a lengthy prison sentence for a non-violent person with no criminal history would be grossly disproportionate.

You don’t have to agree with us about gun laws to care about due process, constitutional protections, and proportional justice.

How should justice be measured?

This past Sunday, my client and I appeared on Armed American Radio to discuss a case that raises a question every American should consider:

Does the punishment fit the conduct?

My client has no criminal history. He has never been accused of selling drugs or fi****ms, and there is no allegation that he ever threatened anyone or unlawfully used a firearm against another person.

Yet he is facing the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence.

Reasonable people can disagree about the law. They can disagree about whether my client should have been charged at all. But I hope we can all agree on one principle: justice requires punishment to be proportionate to the conduct at issue.

This case is about more than one individual. It raises an important question for every citizen: What message do we send when a person with no criminal history faces years in prison for conduct that involved no violence, no allegation of trafficking, and no unlawful use of a firearm against another person?

The answer to that question has consequences far beyond this case. It shapes how people view fairness, proportionality, and the role of our criminal justice system.

Whether you ultimately agree with our position or not, I invite you to hear the full story before reaching a conclusion.

Please listen to our interview on Armed American Radio. If you believe this conversation deserves a broader audience, please share the episode with your friends, family, and anyone interested in the fair administration of justice.

Thank you for taking the time to listen.
