Update: We have filed our written proffer on why I should be able to use the necessity defense. There are 4 points that must be met to use the necessity defense, and I think we have very strong arguments for each of those 4 points. If you want to see for yourself, the proffer is available here.

Update: The September 25th hearing established the uphill battle that Tim and the legal team will face in court. Judge Dee Benson said he was strongly inclined not to let Tim present the necessity defense in front of the jury. Tim and the team are now presenting the case in writing, due to the judge on October 25th. Full Story here.
