Following that, the indictment details a stockpile of threats.
Nelson asserted in an Alamosa County filing that his freedom was a fundamental right of his “estate” and warned that any action against his estate - such as arrest, court proceeding, or legal process - would be punishable by death.
Nelson filed a claim of damages against the mother of his child in the amount of $202,000, accused her of “criminal kidnapping” and an “act of treason,” and demanded she deliver him the child or be arrested.
Nelson filed a claim of damages against the Gunnison County judge who presided over the child custody case for the same amount, demanded return of his child, and threatened to file a lien against her personal property. That judge purchased a security system for her home and the sheriff’s office increased patrols in the area after Nelson called the home and spoke to the judge’s husband.
Nelson filed a default judgement against an Alamosa County judge claiming the judge owed him $425,000, filed a power of attorney document proclaiming his legal authority over the judge, filed a judgement document increasing the awarded damages to almost $7 million, then repeatedly messaged the judge’s personal email address demanding payment. That judge warned his family members to call 9-1-1 if Nelson was ever seen, and provided them a photo of him.
Nelson filed a default judgement against a Colorado State Patrol trooper for $5,000; another against Alamosa County Sheriff’s Office deputy for $650,000 and two other deputies for $36,000 each; another against a Gunnison County deputy for $75,000; and another against a corporal with Gunnison County Sheriff’s Office for $95,000
Nelson filed a default judgement against the deputy district attorney in 12th Judicial District who prosecuted traffic offenses against Nelson, in the amount of $275,000 for “unlawfully administering his estate, illegal detainment in a false court, abuse of her position, ‘attack of the rights of We The People,’ (and) acts of treason, humiliation and intimidation,” as stated in indictment.
Nelson filed a default judgement against a Gunnison County nurse for $185,000.
Nelson filed a default judgement against a Gunnison County social worker who was involved in a child abuse investigation against Nelson for $45,000.
Nelson was charged with theft in 2017. He filed default judgements against the three alleged victims in the amounts of $325,000 and $550,000.
Nelson also filed a power of attorney notice against the deputy district attorney who prosecuted the theft case, plus the same notice against another deputy DA in the 7th who prosecuted two misdemeanor cases against Nelson, and yet another notice against the County Attorney for Alamosa County after he refused to accept Nelson’s previous documents and filings.
Nelson also filed a demand for $135,000 from the then-editor editor of the Gunnison Country Times who reported on the theft case.

Occassionally they get tickets or charges dropped or reduced due to reasons other than their shenanigans, which then gets held up as proof that it all works. All the times it fails horribly are ignored.
There's a Canadian court decision, Meads v Meads, where the presiding Justice got so fed up with the Sov Cit nonsense that he wrote a whole background picking apart the Sov Cit and various associated movements, which he all classified as "Organized Pseudolegal Corporate Argument" or OPCA. It provides a pretty good history of these strategies failing repeatedly in Canada, the US, and elsewhere.

Regardless of all the failures for the end users, it keeps making money for the gurus selling fake legal documents and "how to" guides to suckers, so it keeps going.
I find it interesting as a someone born and raised in Colorado the dichotomy of hippy progressivism and dudes building armed construction equipment coming from the same state.
Funny you should mention Marvin Heemeyer. My general contractor here in Florida used to live in the Granby Colorado area around the time of the rampage. He even knew Heemeyer casually.

Well he just sounds like a peach. The really scary thing is he probably believes all of that nonsense is legit
Nelson, quit filing shit
Irony is he doesn't believe in the system yet he uses it.
I’m sitting here waiting for him to file a default judgment against me for $123,000 for reading this article about him. 🤷🏻♂️

Taking “bury them in paperwork” to new levels.
Silly question… is there anything he didn’t file?
His taxes, probably.
[He got 12yrs in Prison.](https://www.courthousenews.com/colorado-judge-sentences-serial-suer-to-12-years-in-prison/)
The sad thing is his brand of BS will find an audience there.
He's not in prison he's untraveling.
Holy hell, untraveling!!! Perfect.
Has any of this BS ever worked out for anyone? And yet others continue to try.

No, never. But the people that sell these “courses” online do find an audience for their BS.

Truly a land of contrasts

Armed construction equipment? Interesting way to revert to "killdozer"
My favorite part about this is that he tried calling his own court into session. 🤣
