PayPal Donations Help Support the Fight for Justice in the Legal Schnauzer First Amendment Case
This is Carol, Roger's wife. Since Roger's brutal beating and unlawful arrest on Oct 23, we have been very grateful for the many people who wanted to help us and who've offered to lend their support in a variety of ways in our ongoing fight for justice. Quite a few of those kind individuals have chosen to support this fight by way of the Legal Schnauzer PayPal donation button, which can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the blog.
Fighting against the forces of evil and tyranny does not come cheaply, but the donations that have come to us via the blog's PayPal donation button have made that fight much more feasible. Hopefully, this will help enable the release of Roger Shuler from his unlawful incarceration and also defeat the powerful and obscenely corrupt thugs who orchestrated this entire travesty. Perhaps then, they will finally be held accountable for what they have done.
To those of you who decide to click on the button and support us with your hard-earned funds, we say a hearty "thank you." And we say that on behalf of Murphy Abigail Shuler (1993-2004), the beloved schnauzer to whom our work is dedicated.
Please know that our mission statement remains the same: "The memory of a beloved pet inspires one couple's fight against injustice."

Media Coverage Continues to Expand on Legal Schnauzer First Amendment Case - Part 5
This is Carol, Roger's wife. Over the past several days, we have written about some of the more interesting articles to appear in the media on the Legal Schnauzer first amendment case. One such article appeared in ThinkProgress. The story was written by Nicole Flatow and was featured on the website Oct. 30--one week after Roger Shuler's severe beating and false arrest.
Per the ThinkProgress website, Nicole Flatow is the Deputy Editor of ThinkProgress Justice. Previously, she was Associate Director of Communications for the American Constitution Society. Nicole has also worked for several legal and general circulation newspapers, including The Daily Record and The New York Law Journal, and was a legal fellow at Bread for the City, where she represented low-income D.C. residents in housing and public benefits matters. She received her J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law, and her B.A. in Philosophy, Politics and Law from Binghamton University, where she was editor in chief of her campus newspaper.
The article was very good, however, there was one incorrect statement. And it has, unfortunately, been repeated in several articles about the first amendment case.
"Riley sued Shuler and his wife, Carol Shuler, last year for alleged defamation."The above statement is simply not true and gives the mistaken impression that this harassment lawsuit had been ongoing for some time and thus, had been given a chance to be properly litigated. Nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, the bogus traffic stop where improper service was attempted took place on Sept 29, 2013. And then, Roger was beaten and unlawfully arrested inside our garage on Oct 23, 2013. That is far less than one month later. Hardly adequate time for any proper litigation of the facts and the law.
Typically civil lawsuits are served and a person will have 30 days in which to respond and then the case proceeds from there in an orderly and legal fashion. In this case, Roger Shuler was assaulted and thrown in jail in a mere 3 weeks time. How about that for a railroad job and outrageous miscarriage of justice?

Media Coverage Continues to Expand on Legal Schnauzer First Amendment Case - Part 4
This is Carol, Roger's wife. Over the past few days, we have written about some of the more interesting articles to appear in the media on the Legal Schnauzer first amendment case. Another excellent article was a dairy written by a person who goes by the name, "Colorado is the Shiznit" on the widely-read, progressive political blog, Daily Kos. The creative and highly entertaining post was featured on the website on Nov. 15 and made their daily highly recommended list.

Media Coverage Continues to Expand on Legal Schnauzer First Amendment Case - Part 3
This is Carol, Roger's wife. Over the past couple days, we have written about some of the more interesting articles to appear in the media on the Legal Schnauzer first amendment case. Another excellent article was written by Sara Rafsky of the outstanding international organization, Committee to Protect Journalists. It appeared on their website's CPJ Blog on Nov. 13.
According to their website, the "CPJ promotes press freedom worldwide and defends the rights of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. We take action wherever journalists are attacked, imprisoned, killed, kidnapped, threatened, censored, or harassed."
Here is the link to the CPJ story by Sara Rafsky: Censorship in Alabama's Shelby County.
Per the bio on the CPJ website, "Sara Rafsky is research associate in CPJ's Americas program. A freelance journalist in South America and Southeast Asia, she was awarded a 2008 Fulbright Grant to research photojournalism and the Colombian armed conflict."
This article was very well done and I appreciate the hard work and effort that went into it. It is also important to note that it was featured in The Huffington Post on Nov. 14.

Media Coverage Continues to Expand on Legal Schnauzer First Amendment Case - Part 2
This is Carol, Roger's wife. As discussed yesterday, we are glad to report that media coverage of the Legal Schnauzer first amendment case continues to expand. Once again, one of the more interesting articles published recently appeared in the WhoWhatWhy website on Nov. 25. It was written by David J. Krajicek who paid Roger a visit in jail and did his first jailhouse interview.
Here is the link to the article: In Jailhouse Interview, Alabama Blogger Says He Won't Budge
This article was very well done also. And again, I very much appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into it.
However, there was one statement that was highly inaccurate and it misrepresents a very important point:
The LS blog posts concerning this unlawful traffic stop appear here, here and here.

This article was very well done also. And again, I very much appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into it.
However, there was one statement that was highly inaccurate and it misrepresents a very important point:
"Shuler insisted he was not legally served because the documents were not placed in his hand."I have no clue how or why the above statement was even in the article because it has absolutely NO basis in fact and Roger NEVER said any such thing. It is utterly and completely false. To understand the truth about what happened during the bogus and unlawful "service" during the phony traffic stop and the pertinent law involved, please read the blog posts written by Roger Shuler himself on Legal Schnauzer.

Media Coverage Continues to Expand on Legal Schnauzer First Amendment Case
This is Carol, Roger's wife. We are pleased to report that media coverage of the Legal Schnauzer first amendment case continues to expand. One of the more interesting articles of late was featured on Nov. 11 in the WhoWhatWhy website and was written by David J. Krajicek.
Here is the link to the article: Gulag Justice? Alabama Blogger Jailed in Secretive Scandal
First off, I want to say that the article was very well done and I very much appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into writing it. However, there was one important statement that was so grossly incorrect that I simply must clear it up.
Here is the link to the article: Gulag Justice? Alabama Blogger Jailed in Secretive Scandal
First off, I want to say that the article was very well done and I very much appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into writing it. However, there was one important statement that was so grossly incorrect that I simply must clear it up.
"Carol Shuler said their inability to afford a lawyer was one factor in her husband’s avoidance of court paper service."After the article came out and I read the above erroneous statement, I immediately emailed Mr. Krajicek with the following clarification:
"For the record, I never said or certainly never meant to imply that our inability to afford a lawyer was any factor in anything, much less avoidance of service. In fact we were not AVOIDING SERVICE at all. The fact of the matter is we had absolutely no clue why 2-3 sheriff's deputies were coming to our home twice a day for a week acting like we were on America's Most Wanted list. We had no way of knowing and in fact, did not know that it had anything to do with the serving of court papers in a civil case. As I said they were acting like they were trying to bust a meth lab or nab a serial killer. Scared us to death! We knew it was likely some trumped up bogus crap possibly to arrest one of us for some made-up charge or to ransack our home with a search warrant and maybe seize our computer for no legitimate reason purely for harassment and intimidation.
So to be clear.... I never said we were avoiding anything. We simply did not answer the door to jackbooted thugs gone wild. If they had not acted so threatening and bizarre and there had only been one deputy and one vehicle...instead of 2 or 3... we quite likely would have answered the door. Also when it is civil service, they will typically leave a card on your door saying they have court papers for you. But they did not do that at any time. So again, it felt very threatening and intimidating and harassing and that was their intent to be sure."
