Apparently they weren't breaking the law. Otherwise they would not have been acquitted.

The news article is extremely scant. Shedding absolutely no light on the details. How common.

In any event. Time to get cracking on deed writing and take the houses back from the banks.

Keep in mind that juries do not have to follow the law.  If they think a law is unjust, they can hand out a 'not guilty' verdict even if someone broke a law.

Even if you we don't understand or agree with what these guys did, it is great to know that juries still understand they can do whatever they want.

Did you get your law degree from a cereal box? Jury Nullification has been around for a while, I'd be very .. I mean VERY disturbed that you weren't taught this. I'd be just as disturbed if the every-day run in the mill paralegal didn't know this.

Original Message Wow - I'm stunned! I thought for sure they would be found guilty. Must be something to the "Sovereign Citizen" argument! Please pin for awareness...

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. —

A DeKalb County jury acquitted three men accused of racketeering after they were arrested for signing fake deeds to themselves and then moving into foreclosed homes.

The charges came after a lengthy Channel 2 Action News investigation in 2010.

Eliyshuwa Yisrael acted as his own defense attorney in the case, which also included Jermaine Gibson and Richard Jenkins. Each man was charged with two RICO counts.

During the trial, Yisrael told the jury that banks, which were the documented owners of the properties, should not have been allowed to own them in the first place.
