All I read is that he was accused of claim jumping, which he denied. He pled guilty to "theft of federal property and unlawful mining." If this was a result of claim jumping, the charge wouldn't be theft of federal property; the minerals are owned by an individual, not the federal government. Am I missing something? :)
