After the jury departed for the deliberation room Thursday and the alternate jurors were dismissed, after the ratcheting of handcuffs signaled all three defendants were on the way back to jail, and after most of the courtroom spectators had returned to their routines, Marti Cox lingered with a small pack of reporters to try to explain why her husband Schaeffer wasn't the wacko militia caricature that emerged over five weeks of trial.

It would take a journey, not a story, to properly understand Schaeffer Cox, she said: That's how complex he and his ideas are.

Still, she tried.

He wasn't the man who was alternately condemned by federal prosecutors as violent extremist or a narcissist who would rather put his followers at risk than face the consequences of his own actions, she said.
