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.
