But It's Christmas, Your Honor

Today Ronald Weinland is to be before a judge to request a continuance in his trial. His trial for criminal tax evasion is set for 31 January 2012. Ron's lawyer/attorney has submitted a request to extend this timeline of a Federal trial a further 180 days.

Now his reason for requesting a continuance seems to stem from the enormous amount of receipts the U.S. government has accumulated from the five years of tax evasion Ron is charged with. It will take a long period of time to go over these receipts in order to explain to the court what these receipts really mean.

I would not be surprised if Ron's lawyers submit to the court that since it is the holiday season, "Mr Weinland should not be subjected to such a huge task of documenting this enormous pile of receipts during this festive and family oriented time of the year. The current date does leave Mr. Weinland approximately six weeks to examine these discoveries, but with the Christmas season taking the remainder of December and the first part of January, Mr Weinland would not have sufficient time to properly document these for a proper and fair defense.". Lawyers are so good at pushing baloney sandwiches.

Of course precedent could be indicated by the fact the former governor Blagosomething was sentenced to fourteen years in prison, but was allowed to return home for the Christmas season and report to prison sometime next year. "Therefore Pastor Weinland should be allowed the same graciousness during this Christmas season, so his families holiday may not be burdened by the stress which accumulates during the labourious defense process. Please allow Pastor Weinland to a fair trial by allowing him to focus on his defense after Christmas with his family and congregation, your Honour".

Now if in fact Ron's attorneys pull Christmas out of their bag of tricks, that would indeed be the most grand example of irony I have ever seen. The truth will be told on the official Ronald Weinland information blog.

That was a fun post to write.......and all because I was wondering if Ron's team would say something like "it's Christmas you Honour".

Today's Number is 6

Ron must have got permission from whoever is in charge of his bail to travel outside his home state, as he sermonized from Illinois today. He mentioned he will be going to Toronto in February. Since he was required to surrender his passport to the court, I do not know how he will cross the border.....unless he has two passports.

He was babbling something about how it is the end of six cycles, and that makes the hair stand up on the back of his neck. Hence the title of today's post. I've got some numbers for you too. Today is the third of December. If you add the third day to the twelfth month you get fifteen. Now here is the amazing thing: if you subtract 12 from 15 you get today's date. I'm sorry to shock you, but there it is in black and white right before your eyes. I dare you to go and look at your calender. You will see that todays date is in fact the third of December.

Ron was too hot today, then he became too cold. They adjusted the window enough to maintain a temperature reasonable enough for Ron to spend the next hour and a half talking about the captivity of Judea and how it applies to today.

Ron also mentioned his hatred of Christmas. He hate hate hates the music he is forced to listen to in the malls this time of year. I saw a cartoon a couple of days ago called "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", and this grinch also hated Christmas because all the people were having such a good time.

Christmas only comes once a year. It is the only time when almost everyone actually makes an effort to be nice to one another. Ronald Weinland and the other Armstrong types are totally against this goodwill because it is a "pagan holiday".

So what is pagan about being nice to one another for a couple of weeks.....and especially on Christmas Eve when everyone's good manners are exhibited in public.

Ron wants everyone to stop being nice to each other during Christmas, and send all the money you would have spent on the people you love directly to Ron. What an asshole! Of course, all con artists are assholes. They are such nice people until you realize they have made off with your life savings. Then you realize you have been taken by a con artist. Do you call the police? Or do you just sit there and weep?

O' how I hope he does not escape the U.S. Justice system. Are people even extraditable for income tax evasion? Whichever way you look at Ronald Weinland, he is a criminal.
