A letter from Patrick Adamiak to newly confirmed ATF Director Robert Cekada: If I could speak directly to ATF Director
Things are moving very well in our efforts to free Patrick “Tate” Adamiak from prison, but we need your help.
Adamiak spends his days like any other federal inmate. However, there’s one massive difference. The entire prison system knows he’s not guilty of committing any crime.
Adamiak’s case is the first time the ATF has ever charged anyone with violating the NFA for a bunch of legal gun parts. Unless action is taken quickly, based on ATF’s own sordid history, it won’t be the last.
During the new resentencing hearing, Larosiere may have the opportunity to present additional evidence, even about the questionable ATF testimony. However, he must argue before the same judge.
The judges’ verdict was mixed. They agreed that one of his convictions violated the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment. But as to Adamiak’s other legal concerns, the judges wrote: “we discern no other reversible error.”
“You have to show the history and tradition for locking a man up for 20 years, and they didn’t even try. You have to address arms before the court. What is before the court right now are not arms. It’s a pile of parts.”
Unless Adamiak’s conviction is overturned, the case gives the ATF an incredible amount of power—at a time when even the President of the United States wonders publicly whether they should continue to exist.
