Former Tyranny Fighter reviews Julian Heicklen Chronicles

In 2010 Tyranny Fighter George Donnelly was attacked by a group of law enforcers with god complexes who bodily rode him to the ground, seized his camera, arrested him and had him jailed and prosecuted because he was peacefully recording Julian Heicklen distributing jury nullification brochures on a public sidewalk.

His story, along with others victimized by the legal establishment, is detailed in Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles (Chapter 14).
 

George Donnelly and Julian Heicklen together in 2010 during their Tyranny Fighter days.

Today George writes "often dystopian, frequently heroic and always engrossing" science fiction novels. He recently took time to review my Tyranny Fighters book and post it on my Amazon page.

This review is from: Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles

(Kindle Edition)

The power of one man doing something courageous and useful, and committing to doing it not just once but over and over again. That's what impresses me about this chronicle.

Just reading Heicklen's straight-talking accounts fills me with the a passion to follow his example. It was that passion that motivated myself and others in the Spring of 2010 to work with him.

Some parts of Reed's account are very absorbing. At times, the author is quite passionate and intelligent.

There are a few inaccuracies, including the claim that the Tyranny Fighters is an organization. It was just a mailing list for me. and 95% of the people on the list were just spectators. They didn't participate.

I expected this to be a story-ified account, perhaps with original content from interviews melded into a coherent story.

There were some typos. It was repetitive at time. I would have liked it to be more fleshed out.

But the mere act of documenting these unique incidents is quite valuable. Kudos to the author for all of his hard work.

I received a complimentary copy of the book.

Courtroom lawyer reviews Tyranny Fighters

Timothy J Taylor has been a courtroom lawyer since 1971 and is author of the book Authority!: Implications of consciousness and the reality of existence. Taylor also expresses his opinions on current events in his AUTHORITY! blog in which he emphatically states, "Conventional collectivist created authority is a deception in consciousness. You are your own Authority!"

Taylor has repeatedly expressed his support of jury nullification advocate Julian Heicklen over the years, most notably in his post Julian Heicklen: My Hero.

Taylor was even quoted in the book Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles:

...courtroom lawyer Timothy J. Taylor, writing in his "Authority" blogspot, sums up Heicklen's "jury tampering" charges simply and rationally: "Any fair judge would have tossed the prosecutor's case out of court long ago." 

After reading Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles Taylor produced this book review:

Tyranny Fighters Review

by Timothy J. Taylor

Garry Reed's book, Tyranny Fighters, provides a riveting chronological account of libertarian freedom fighter, Dr. Julian P. Heicklen's years long freedom of speech battle with the American police state Authority to inform prospective jurors of their legal rights. In the process of merely exercising his First Amendment rights Dr. Heicklen was wrongly arrested numerous times, dragged and confined to mental hospitals against his will, jailed, bullied, tortured, and charged with bogus criminal offenses.

This gentle and humble man violated no laws. He committed no crimes. He is innocent. He's the victim of a vicious persecution by evil government agents of American Authority! As I predicted in my blog, a federal judge in New York City finally ordered the dismissal of a criminal "jury tampering" indictment against the frail octogenarian professor based on merely passing out leaflets in a public place advocating jury nullification.

For centuries in British and American Jurisprudence, if a jury concludes that something about a case against the accused stinks, it has the power to disregard the evidence and/or refuse to apply the law as instructed by the judge. Jurors may not be compelled to account for their verdicts. Their deliberations are conducted in secret and their conclusions need not be explained.

This is known as "jury nullification" and Dr. Heicklen enjoyed a First Amendment right to inform prospective jurors of that power despite the fact that the Authority doesn't want jurors to know about the awesome powers they possess.

This excellent book tells the whole story. It explains in copious detail exactly why Julian Heicklen is my hero. And now he's been vindicated at last.
