Defense lawyer John O'Gara said afterward that Griffiths would likely
agree to terms of a pretrial diversion that would avoid a conviction.
O'Gara said he expected the deal to be worked out in about six weeks.
The prosecutor did not return a call seeking comment.
Prosecutors charged Griffiths last year with violating the law against
private ownership of automatic weapons. Charged with him were Special
Agent John Yard of Collinsville, Sgt. James Vest of O'Fallon, Ill.,
and Senior Master Trooper Greg Mugge of Jerseyville.
The cases against Vest and Mugge were dismissed after Vest challenged
the applicability of the law to police officers, who can possess
automatic weapons on the job.


Did the police agencies they worked for even know they were buying
machine guns? Did their positions with those agencies authorize them
to have machine guns? Or is this just another case of the Marie
Antoinette class of America to whom the rules just don't apply -
politicians, bureaucrats, top "mainstream" media people?

There are many unanswered questions about this.
