Mr VJP Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 This could happen to any of us.You can help! Brian's Storyby Free Brian Aitken on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at 7:30pm http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs328.ash2/60787_159514700727079_159490174062865_519527_2336568_n.jpg[/img]On August 27, 2010 Brian was wrongfully sentenced to 7 years in prison…help us free him. On June 16, 2010 Governor Christie kicked Judge Morley off the bench from Burlington County Superior Court—but not before Morley could throw an innocent local businessman in jail for driving from one residence to another with his lawfully purchased firearms! At trial Brian Aitken’s defense team showed the jury Brian’s three FBI background checks to lawfully purchase firearms, a number of witnesses—including a Mount Laurel police officer—testified that Brian was moving between residences and all witnesses—including the Mount Laurel police officer—testified that Brian’s firearms were unloaded & locked in the trunk of his car exactly as New Jersey State Law requires…Brian knew how to do this because he had called the New Jersey State Police days earlier to ensure he was in compliance with the law…a fact the Judge ruled inadmissible in the court room.Now, this 26 year old small business owner—with no prior criminal record—is sitting in jail for 7 years simply because a Judge, since removed for misconduct in a different case, refused to allow the jury to apply the state law that allows abiding gun owners to transport their legally owned firearms from one house to another. The jury returned from deliberation three times practically begging the Judge to tell them the law that protects an individuals rights to transport firearms—the Judge outright refused to tell them! The only reason police were searching his car was in response to a 911 call his mother made when she was concerned about his welfare…not the welfare of anybody else. Brian’s ex-wife had canceled visitation of his infant son once again and his mother’s concerns were about Brian being possibly suicidal….she pleaded to the Judge before his sentencing that she had made the call to protect her son, not to have him thrown in state prison. Brian has no criminal record, no violent tendencies, and owned the weapons lawfully purchased in Colorado as protection for his home and family.
