American convictBruce Doucette is an American sovereign citizen guru and self-proclaimed "Superior Court Judge of the Continental uNited States of America".
Doucette, the owner of a computer repair shop in Denver, Colorado, advised people in encampments in Costilla County on how to oppose land-use regulations
At the commencement of the Bundy standoff at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge he announced that he would convene a "citizens grand jury" and threatened to hold "a trial with the redress of grievance" against county and other government officials. He was blocked by a judge from participating in the trial.
In 2018, he was sentenced to 38 years in Colorado state prison after a two-week trial on 34 counts of racketeering, tax evasion, retaliation against judges and other charges. This included the filing of fraudulent liens, a common sovereign citizen harassment tactic.
