Timothy Harper arrested..... finally! Idiot.

Yeah I know that. It's just anytime a person tells me they have a record, that means conviction, not arrest history.

Dunno. All I know about that comes from watching old cop shows, and you know how true to life they are.

Well, I guess they're at least as accurate as the modern news machines, anyway...

There are, in a sense, two different records. One is an arrest record and the other is a conviction record. Police can look at both to see if someone "has a pattern" of arrests when examining that someone's likelihood of having committed a crime.

While one might not ever get a "conviction," generally, their arrest record is there permanently. Having worked at the OSBI and dealing with criminal records, I've seen thousands and thousands of arrests that were never filed on and taken to court.

Maybe if his attorney went back to the judge and gave him a sad puppy eyed dog look, he could convince the judge that the cash only bail and sleeping on a cold floor was punitive and cruel punishment in nature and get him released. His attorney was on the news last night making his statement and I wasn’t impressed.

I did see a picture of him in Twin Peaks with his rifle and he also had a pistol on his hip. I also think carrying a long gun inside any place or strolling around a public place “auditing” is not a smart thing to do. If he was after his “ten minutes of fame” he got it.

His lawyers have filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus...

In English I believe that means they contesting his confinement with such a high, cash only, bond.

This reminds me of that girl in Texas who got pulled over for failure to signal, got arrested for lighting a cigarette in her own car, couldn't make bail, and got so depressed she committed suicide.

If you caint make bail you gonna sit in jail.
That's just the way it is.

His layers have filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus...

It’s odd that there is not an attorney listed on this filing.

That is one use of the petition, for excessive bond. It is mostly defined as producing the accused and show the court the valid reason for their being held.

It is fairly rare for this to be filed. Notice it is only the 3rd to be filed this year in Oklahoma County.


I would think the actual charge being filed should show up today.

This is what we usually see after the MI. The actual charge, a CF. The all of the updates will be on the CF file.
