“This Evidence Will Shock the Conscience”: LaVoy Finicum’s Widow to File Wrongful Death Suit


LaVoy’s widow Jeanette Finicum has announced she will be filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Oregon authorities in the shooting death of her husband.

At a press conference, Mrs. Finicum said she and her family “reject the biased, whitewashed findings and conclusion reported yesterday,” and that her legal team has proof the roadblock was a set up.

She also says the agents released a selectively edited video to make it appear as if her husband is reaching for a gun, when in reality he was walking away from his truck with his hands in the air the first time he was shot. Again, all of the gunshot wounds Finicum suffered were found to be in his back.

Via Fox13:

“I believe, my family believes, my lawyers believe that this evidence will shock the conscience,” she said…

Her view of the video evidence is the same one many of us reported after the shooting happened — that he wasn’t going for a gun but was reaching for a wound where he was hit:

“A man to the right of the video obviously fired some projectile at him. Immediately he leaned over to his left hip area where it appeared some projectile hit him,”Finicum said.

She said investigators left him in the snow for 10 minutes because they knew the three shots into the back killed him.

The DOJ is currently investigating the case even though the U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah already concluded the shooting was “justified”. Why? Because even though the six shots fired by the Oregon State Police, three of which hit Finicum in the back and killed him, where ruled “justified,” two rounds fired off by the FBI and apparently covered up before finally being admitted to, were not.

Mrs. Finicum also said recently released video from inside the car shot by Shawna Cox at the time Finicum was killed proves the whole thing could’ve ended peacefully and law enforcement did not have to kill her husband.

Are you supposed to post an entire article?
 
He was reaching for a bag of Skiddles.
 
Lavoy Finicum's death was a targeted assassination.

Rubbish. It must have been manslaughter.
From what I've seen on the net (videos taken by bystanders and so on) his is not the only case where cops tried to cover their mistakes.

Not that I'm taking any sides - it's apalling when people are being killed like that. But it must also be frightening to be a cop in America, when basically everyone can own a gun.
 
All of those involved in the armed takeover of a federal wildlife refuge facility were and are Domestic Terrorists. The authorities should have evicted them from the premises and arrested them immediately. IF they tried to make good on their threats of violence then they would have deserved whatever happened to them (likely a violent bloody death).

Finicum was a known Domestic Terrorist (See above), tried to run a roadblock, he was actively trying to avoid arrest by fleeing the scene, was armed and appeared to be trying to go for a gun when told to stop by law enforcement. He brought about his own death through stupidity.

you made that up


You are a vile creature
 
I suspect the SPLC (southern poverty law center) is involved.

They were behind Waco, Ruby Ridge, and the OKC bombing.

The SPLC is a very scary and dangerous communist front organization and they are now teaming up with other radical leftists in the government to persecute Christians, conservatives, libertarians, returning veterans, anti-abortion activists, and gun owners.

Just the facts presented.

On the other hand, I also read (on the net) about the disproportionate nomber of black people killed by Police, in the Southern States. And they commented on the fact that, whereas a lot of them could be explained by fear based on negative stereotyping, quite a nomber of such shootings appeared to have been intentional.

Not saying that it's true or false - just what I read.

5 “Elite National” FBI agents under criminal investigation for shots fired at LaVoy Finicum and possible cover-up

It looks like ‘conspiracy theorists’ may have been right after all: 5 FBI Special Agents now being investigated over Finicum shooting



(INTELLIHUB) — One or more FBI agents from a special “elite national unit” are suspected of lying about shots that were in fact fired at Oregon Occupier, rancher and family man LaVoy Finicum while he and others were en route to meet with the Sheriff of a neighboring county on Jan. 26, and are currently being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice.

This also follows lockstep with reports of “mercenaries” in the area who may have been operating outside the official scope of the law.

What is extremely interesting about this new finding is that fact that Finicum was actually shot at by FBI upon disembarking his vehicle, while having held his hands held high in the air, in what may have even have been an attempt to quell him, ultimately stopping him from meeting with Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer who he was scheduled to speak with in John Day, North of Burns Oregon.

Moreover, this would have also led to Finicum actually being the one in fear for his life and not law enforcement officials as originally claimed with the FBI justified Finicum’s death earlier this week.

Les Zaitz reports:

Finicum, 54, an Arizona rancher, was one of the leaders of the Jan. 2 takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns.

Investigators gave no details to explain why the one FBI agent, a member of the Hostage Rescue Team, wouldn’t report the two shots. They also didn’t indicate what his four colleagues did to warrant investigation other than saying it was related to conduct after the shooting.

“The question of who fired these shots has not been resolved,” said Greg Bretzing, special agent in charge of the FBI in Portland. The federal agency is cooperating with the inspector general’s investigation, he said at a news conference.

Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer said the roadblock operation was an “ambush” and suspects fowl play.

Ammon Bundy’s attorney, Mike Arnold, told members of the press, “I’m going to have to go back and reconsider all the conspiracy theories that I’ve written off” after this new evidence has come to light.

“Finicum was driving the truck that carried carried Ryan C. Bundy, 43, Ryan W. Payne, 32, Shawna Cox, 59, and Victoria Sharp, 18. In the Jeep behind them was driver Mark McConnell, 37, Brian D. Cavalier, 44, and Ammon Bundy, 40, the public face of the occupation,” the Oregonian reports.



On Wednesday, Bundy’s lawyer requested a less-stringent protective order based on the new findings in hopes of his client moving about more freely.

Now some are wondering if Finicum was even armed with the 9mm handgun the FBI claims he was, despite the fact that eyewitnesses have said that Finicum left his firearm at the refuge before traveling to John Day with the group as part of a protocol to keep things safe.

As of yet now the agents have been unnamed by law enforcement.

Stay locked to Intellihub for updates.

Oh, now I understand what you meant by that.
Btw:
Not exactly related to this case - but your comment reminded me of an intriguing article that I read a while ago:

"Oklahoma City bombing: 20 years later, key questions remain unanswered"
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...0-years-later-key-questions-remain-unanswered

EDIT
Geez, Mike, I'm retracting my comments. I only read the first two lines from your post, initially. But now that I read your entire comment - the last half sounds so wacky to me.

Two Bullet Casings Disappear From The LaVoy Finicum Shooting Scene

Screen Shot 2016-03-16 at 4.39.54 PM

No problem there…

Via Oregon Live:

Two bullet casings that might have proven an FBI agent shot at Robert “LaVoy” Finicum apparently disappeared from the scene shortly after the Jan. 26 highway confrontation turned deadly, according to law enforcement sources and newly released police reports.

Five FBI agents assigned to the traffic stop told investigators that none of them fired at Finicum’s Dodge pickup after it crashed at their roadblock. Oregon investigators, however, concluded that one agent fired twice at the truck, hitting it once in the roof and missing on the second shot.
 
Lots of news lately about a possible cover up by the FBI. I don't buy into more than a couple conspiracy theories but this one sounds like it might be legit.
Still think the guy deserved to be shot though. Fuck him.
