Well, if you never got the chance to testify in court, then probably what happened is that our DA's office struck a plea bargain deal, and let him plead guilty to a lower misdemeanor charge, and let him off the felony charge in exchange.   However, by doing that, that would mean that not only would he be back out on the streets much sooner, but that the police would also have had to return all of his guns to him.   For guns are only permanently confiscated if the person becomes a felon.

Lane County needs a much tougher DA who will go for felony convictions against dangerous individuals like this man,
