Video: Veteran fights charges for placing flags on VA property
On Saturday, March 4, Judicial Watch defense attorney Robert Patrick Sticht and client Robert L. Rosebrock appeared on “Fox & Friends Weekend” on the Fox News Channel to discuss Judicial Watch’s and Robert Sticht’s representation of Rosebrock, a Vietnam-era veteran who faces federal criminal charges for displaying two four by six inch American flags outside a Veterans Affairs’ fence on Memorial Day, May 30, 2016.
Judicial Watch’s team of attorneys recently filed:
- A motion to suppress statements Rosebrock allegedly made to a VA police officer during a custodial interrogation of Rosebrock without advising him of his Fifth Amendment rights, as required by Miranda v. Arizona.
- Two motions to dismiss the “flag posting” charge and two photography-related charges against Rosebrock on First Amendment and other constitutional grounds.
- A motion to dismiss all charges against Rosebrock on the grounds of selective and vindictive prosecution and retaliation for Rosebrock’s having exercised his First Amendment rights.
A hearing on Rosebrock’s motions is scheduled for March 7, 2017, in Los Angeles, CA. Rosebrock’s trial had also been set for March 7, but the court has delayed the trial.
