OR - PRESIDENTIAL PARDON - Militia members occupy federal building in Oregon after protest #4

Is there a trial thread for this yet? It seems awfully important.
 
Opening arguments are expected to start today

The high-profile case is expected to last into 2018 as federal prosecutors aim to prove the Bundy family — along with Ryan Payne — tried to stop the federal government from seizing cattle grazing on public land by threatening a federal officer, carrying and using a firearm and engaging in a conspiracy.
 
Judge to consider ending Bundy standoff trial as government’s case crumbles

“The government did not withhold material to gain a tactical advantage or harm the defendants,” said then-Acting U.S. Attorney Steven Myhre in a 55-page brief filed Dec. 29. “Rather, it litigated these issues in good faith, arguing that the materials were neither helpful nor material, and provided reasoned explanations for its decisions.”
 
A U.S. District Court judge dismissed the trial with prejudice against Cliven Bundy, sons Ryan and Ammon Bundy and Montana militia leader Ryan Payne Monday morning.

Judge Gloria Navarro had declared a mistrial last month and severely criticized prosecutors for what she called "willful" violations of due process rights of defendants, including failing to properly turn over evidence to their lawyers.

This move means the defendants can not be retried.

Sad day for the country. If you are a right wing terrorist, you can get away with anything. I expect they will do it all over again. Why shouldn't they?

I normally don't agree with you but I do on this topic. They caused so much damage during their take over.
 
Thank God the corrupt government got smacked down.

And the title should not just say Mistrial, it should say DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE which it was.
