Concord Monitor - Brown ally gets lengthy sentence

Concord Monitor - Brown ally gets lengthy sentence: "A former blogger and self-described security expert for Plainfield tax protesters Ed and Elaine Brown was sentenced to eight years in prison yesterday for his role in the couple's prolonged standoff with federal agents.

That sentence exceeded what federal sentencing guidelines recommended and was handed down after a three-hour-long hearing that included a lengthy speech by the defendant on Constitutional law and accusations of perjury by the judge."
