Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

January 22, 2009

After 28-year-old Ryan Frederick shot and killed a police detective during a SWAT raid on his Virginia he insisted that he opened fire because he didn?t know the assailants were police. His home had been robbed just days earlier. In fact, the burglars have admitted that the robbery was actually arranged by the police to gather evidence for a drug raid.

This isn?t the only troubling irregularity in this case. The prosecution has announced it will present testimony from five inmates who had conversation with Frederick about the shooting. One of them, a gang leader, has already traded testimony against his co-defendants for a reduced sentence.

The raid that cost one man his life was the product of a bad tip from a paid informant. Now the State of Virginia will collude with criminals for the testimony they need to send Frederick to prison for life. Outrageous as this is, it?s hardly atypical of what passes for justice today.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
