Now that the Supreme Court has denied Brett Kimberlin’s attempt to have his Speedway Bombing convictions set aside, it will be interesting to see if he finally decides to put an end to his lawfare. His status as a felon was never in doubt. He was convicted of perjury about dealing LSD before he turned 20, and he pleaded guilty to dope smuggling charges in the late ’70s. Even if he’d found a way to quash the bombing convictions, he’d still be tagged with those felonies. He would still be under all of a felon’s legal disabilities, so why bother?
One theory I’ve heard advanced is that the convictions for violent felonies have turned off potential donors to his not-for-profits.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Those donors funded crime and other evil. And, yes, I do blame them for it.
Maybe now the various courts will finally declare him a vexatious litigant.
The U.S. District Court in Maryland began assigning all of Kimberlin’s cases to the same judge. So did the state Circuit Court for Montgomery County. Having to keep is story straight between cases put a real crimp in his narratives.
