Though Gerry Spence certainly is not unbiased, I think he is far more credible than the government agents. And of course the aquittals of Randy Weaver and Kevin Harris indicate that a jury found his account more credible than the Agents accounts.
>>1) Weaver was unhappy with a court decision
I wouldn't call it a court decision. He was unhappy with a statement that was made (and turns out to be incorrect) to him at the time of his arraignment.
>>2) He made it clear that he would not submit to legitimate government authority.
That is accurate, though it was caused by the Magistrate misleading him as to the consequences of a conviction (which was actually the result of charges which were the result of entrapment).
>>3) He and his family opened fire on government officials who were fully within their rights to be there
No, he would dispute this fact. Randy Weaver was acquitted. Kevin Harris was acquitted -- his shooting was found to be self defense. That is undisputed. They did not open fire on government officials they returned fire after being unlawfully attacked.
