In an attempt by deepalla, the sergeant agreed to read what Jerry wrote down. Geri unfastened the flap of the tent and distributed nine pages torn from his notebook called “Written negotiations on avoiding the destruction of property through explosive detonation”.

Geri described them to the authorities as grenades that use rubber stripes to provide a fuse, show judicial protocols. Others were modified for bottles with aluminum foil heads and processed in a pyrotechnic solution, show records. The authorities said in court documents that the devices seemed “completely functional”.
