In court Monday, District Attorney Hillar Moore informed the court his office would drop all charges against Spell if the pastor would plead ‘no contest’ to just one of the charges he faces.

Spell was arrested last year and accused of six counts of violating the governor’s COVID-19 restrictions by having too many people gathered inside his church for various services.

Spell’s attorney is currently asking the First Circuit to rule on the constitutionality of the governor’s order before considering Moore’s plea offer.


quote:


“The district attorney has been very respectful and very reasonable,” Spell’s attorney Jeff Wittenbrink said Monday, March 1. “But, we just have a difference of opinion on whether or not this action by the governor is constitutional or not. And, the latest United States Supreme Court cases tend to swing on our side.



I’d love to hear an argument to where any mask order is actually supported by the Constitution, and considering this particular one is actually preventing the free exercise of religion, not to mention peaceably assemble as laid out in the 1st amendment, id say it had better be a pretty compelling argument.

What say the PT?

They know if it goes before a federal court it'll likely eventually be ruled unconstitutional.

The courts will rule how they want to rule, regardless of the Constitution.

If I was defending that pastor all I would want to know is what law did my client break?

When orders become laws we will be sliding down the cliff.

its amazing to me how any Judge could not find it unconstitutional. While I might be a lawyer it surely doesnt take one to know that it's a violation of our unalienable rights

Sounds to me like the DA doesn’t want anything on the record as being listed as unconstitutional. Then any future act such as this will be thrown out immediately

Let's not forget this guy's name. Hillar Moore should be persona non grata.
