Jesse Boyd has objected to the motion and the State has responded thereto. We are waiting the Court’s ruling on the matter.

So, I thought I would write to Gary Marbut and ask about his involvement in the case. He seems to be a “big name” in Montana gun, self-defense circles, or used to be. The following is a record of my exchange with Gary Marbut.

 Your association with The Montana 4 criminal case now pending!

Dear MSSA & Gary Marbut,

I find it shameful that you have allowed yourselves to be associated with the defense in the criminal, armed assault case of Jesse Boyd, Carter Phillips, Eric Trent and Bethany Boyd (The Montana 4).

In any case, I would like to get a public statement from you regarding your position in that case and your interest in testifying on behalf of the defense (though the Court most likely will reject the defense proposal to allow you to testify).

John M. Pierce indicated that you were considering the case.

I hope you have now had time to complete your consideration and can provide me with a public statement as to your decision.

Sincerely,

Robert Baty

Gary,

Thanks for your reply.

I do some “reporting” from time to time as stories catch my attention.

Your unfortunate association with The Montana 4 story caught my attention, as I have been following and reporting on that story from the beginning.

John M. Pierce and his people, and The Montana 4 and their people don’t like my perspective on the story.

Do please give me a statement regarding your interest in appearing as a witness for the defense (though it is unlikely the Court would ever allow that).

Otherwise, I have posted stories about the case on my website at:

Gary,

Thanks for your continuing interest in this exchange.

I have no personal connections to anyone involved and I have lived in Colorado for the last 16 years or so; spending my first 55 years in Oklahoma.

My longest running story is that of Kent Hovind, a Baptist preacher like Jesse Boyd.

There are a lot of similarities between Kent and Jesse.

Kent played hardball with the feds and got 10 years, plus he sent his wife to prison as well.

Now Jesse is playing hardball and risking sending his daughter to prison.

Lots of other similarities.

So, can you tell me anything about your interest in The Montana 4 case???

Have you finished your analysis?

Got opinion on the merits of their defense?

Do you think they should make plea deals?

Do you think it wise they signed waivers of their right to “conflict-free counsel”?

Jesse seems to be running the show for now, but that may not be good for the other 3 defendants.

Sincerely,

Robert Baty

Gary,

Thanks for that clarification.

I have not “prejudged” the case as you suggest.  

Such statements smack of hypocrisy in my opinion.

You are not alone in using such tactics against critics.

If you are seriously concerned about such things, you should not be anywhere near the defense side of the table if The Montana 4 case goes to trial.

Jesse and his people have been lying about the case from the beginning.

I think the State will be successful in keeping you out of the case, but since you were named I thought it appropriate to ask for your public comments about your involvement.

They are appreciated.

I’ll watch to see if anything more is said about the prospects of your involvement.

Sincerely,

Robert Baty

Gary,

You seem clever in your antics regarding your involvement in this case, seeking to challenge me and my evaluation while pretending to be objective where I am not being so.

Recognizing Jesse Boyd and his people have been lying is not a prejudgment, but a judgment of the facts as they have been developing.  I don’t care for such word games, but if you insist on playing, as you seem to be doing, you cannot win.

The jury performs a job for the State regarding the State’s desire to punish an alleged evil-doer.
The rest of us are free to make the call based on whatever information is available to us; such as you have done yourself.
It’s your apparent prejudice showing here, while claiming you are above it all.
You been outed.

You strain to make a point about your presence at the defense table.
What a joke you are with such childish antics.

Pierce claims you have agreed to be described as a “provisional” expert for the defense in this case.
Nope!
The Court ain’t about to let that happen.
“Change my mind.”

However, it does tell me something about your own prejudicial approach to these important, public matters.
Did you really claim your opinion was not for hire!
Another joke, right?
“Change my mind!”

Jesse and his people have already been marketing the idea that the facts and the law don’t matter.
They are all for “jury nullification” when all else fails.
Looks like you might be in their camp on that as well.

In any case, thanks for your further consideration.
We finally made some real progress on “outing” you and your attempted involvement in the case, so far.

Sincerely,

Robert Baty

Update March 17, 2023

John M. Pierce is still trying to get a hearing before the judge and present Gary Marbut to explain the law to the judge. We’ll see how that goes. In other action this week, John M. Pierce is being called to account for his misbehavior and the State is asking the Court to consider sanctioning John M. Pierce and/or removing him as counsel from the case.
