This article by Jill Simpson and Jim March reveals serious conflicts of interest in Judge Sam Lindsay's appointment as the judge in the criminal case against Barrett Brown.  Judge Lindsay has documented ties to Hunton and Williams, a law firm that was under investigation by Barrett Brown's "Project PM".  Judge Lindsay also has close connections to large oil companies plus current and former top agents of the FBI.  The nature of these connections has never before been documented and needs to be brought to the attention of Brown's lawyers and the mainstream media as Brown risks being sentenced to 105 years by this very judge.

The main article is two pages followed by brief bios and then a complete listing of who the connections are based on snapshots of the websites of the people connected to the judge.

Enjoy!
