Fascinating stuff - wasnt familiar with Ruby Ridge (although I think Ive seen it in dozens of TV shows - we dont have quitr the samw approach over here - although in major cases the jusges remarks and sentencing are sometimes broadcast but we do still have media circusses at ground level and im sure well catch you up
