"Evertson’s appeal brief sums up the absurdity of the whole case by quoting from a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in the year 2000: “To say that when something is saved it is thrown away is an extraordinary distortion of the English language.” Read more at the Washington Examiner:

Right-wing newspaper believes right-wing things. Editorials are not reporting.

Here is the site of the people who attempted to bring his appeal to the SCOTUS. Review was denied. "The Court’s one-sentence order did not explain the reasons for denying review. In its petition for certiorari, WLF argued that the lower courts misinterpreted RCRA and in essence denied the defendant the opportunity to demonstrate that he never abandoned the chemicals and thus that they were not “waste.”"

So, the SCOTUS didn't want to look at it. Not surprising, since they almost never look at anything that does not turn on a question of principle they are interested in examining.

However, the defendant would obviously endorse his own case, as would the right-wing 'legal foundation' behind him. There's no use citing their own brief as evidence that they're in the right. Every defendant looks good if you only look at that.

I'm just relaying the facts as I find them. Unless the Washington Examiner is criminally derelict in its ability to report a case, and if even 50% of the story is true, then it seems at face value to be a miscarriage of justice. There are no unbiased sources, so choose to believe nothing if you like.

From what I gather; he bought a bunch of sodium for his experiments, ran out of money, sold some of it on ebay, attracted the attention of the FBI, got charged with shipping it improperly (ground ship from Alaska = air shipment anyway), won his case, and then was charged by the EPA for "disposing of hazardous waste" which he was not disposing, and which he did not consider waste, and had stored in special stainless steel containers at his neighbors house.

Am I missing something? I don't have the trial transcripts, so I need to rely on the Washington Examiner to at least get the gist of the facts straight.
