Even more guys were let off prior. One of the big defense arguments was that the Buddy supporters who had guns did so in self defense because there were fed snipers. The Feds said, "BS, we didn't have any snipers" and the judge actually forbid the defense from even mentioning it. Well, turns out the Feds did have snipers in place for a LONG time before the well publicized standoff showing the "crazy right wingers" with guns. The judge found that out and was pissed.
