Bundy Trial Expected To Start Next Week

in #news8 years ago

There are a number of trials that will soon be underway involving the Bundy family, and one of them involving Bundy and his supporters is expected to start next week. Starting on Monday, a new trial starts for six individuals who have been charged with a variety of crimes including conspiracy to commit an assault against the United States, threats, and more. Their charges relate to the Bunkerville standoff in Nevada that occurred more than a year ago, back in 2014.

The event was widely publicized after Bundy and his supporters came into conflict with the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) when they tried to seize Bundy's cattle.

A motion has also recently been filed by lawyers with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, seeking to access the information about the jury in the upcoming trial that's expected to take place. They argue that the 4th amendment guarantees open trials and along with that comes the right to know information about the case, including information about the jurors involved.

In a separate trial, Ryan Bundy recently testified and argued that he believed that the wrong people are currently being held in jail over the matter. Ryan Bundy himself has already been behind bars for over a year. Surprisingly, Bundy decided to represent himself in court and he continues to argue that the BLM were in the wrong and were the aggressors in the situation that occurred.

Monday's jury trial next week is for defendants Richard Lovelien, Todd Engel, Gregory Burleson, Eric Parker, O. Scott Drexler and Steven Stewart.

Apparently, one attorney that has been involved in the case and representing the Bundy's, has had three charges filed against him over an incident where federal marshals had to tackle him because he refused to stop arguing with the judge. The attorney, Marcus Mumford, has been accused of disrupting official government duties, failure to comply with the lawful direction of a federal officer, and more.

Overall, there are 3 different trials for the 17 men that have been accused of conspiring with Bundy against federal against. The first trial is going to involve the 6 defendants (mentioned above), followed by a second trial involving Bundy and his sons Ammon and Ryan, and a third trial for the rest. The government continues to refer to the other defendants as “ followers and gunmen” and according to jury summonses that have been distributed, the trial could take anywhere up to 5 months or more.

Thanks for keeping is simple and reporting the news. The BLM should not even exist.

IRS FBI CIA , maybe a lot more , but do we need to go into it all , corporations aren't that nice either

I tended to believe the Bundy's were legit until their involvement in the refugee standoff which I believe was another effort to draw the militia out into the open- fortunately the militia quickly realized this and didn't take the bait- remember 'Bundy' is one of the 13 Illuminati bloodlines. http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/bloodlines/index.htm

lol , I can't follow with all those conspiracies, everybody is somebody , who isn't is being played by someone, and it's all someones fault , be it a queen or a president or a family , can't say it's solely one of them , it would be too much to bear so to speak .

What does this have to do with Donald Trump !? People have to realize that haters will hate no mater whos in office ! Do you actually think Hillary would care at all about this situation !? I should think not ! Politices are not my fortey ! But the trashing needs to stop , in order for the President to get down to business and actually get Americans all working in the factories again , and restart the economy !!! At least hes for the people ! And plans to America great again , its the first t1ime i have seen this in many years !! Good luck !!😰😉👍

trump isn't mentioned here one time? it doesn't have anything to do with him..

Thats cool ! For once ! Everything seems to always lead back to him as though everything in eternity these days is all his fault ! ! Sorry your post blended into someone elses that posted just befor yours !l its getting rediculous actually , and I truely hate politics ! 😄

This was a movement with a standoff for a day, people coming equipped with guns and armor, rifles .. Nothing to do with Trump , you kind of are bringing him over :D and you say you dislike politics :P Watch a video they are truly gripping , at east for me , I liked seeing old school "cowboys" representing and defending their people, those trails are what it's all about no the curation trails :P

Anyway don't take it too personally

Thanks for bringing up that and keeping people posted on the issues.

Cheers !

Thanks for the link ! As i stated earlier, another post on trump came up at exactly the same time , and in my rush i some how mixed them together in my comments ! Theres just so much of this going on and being posted all over social media its not hard to do , so my apoligies , i will check out your link ! Thanks 😉👍

oh no problem , I don't mind at all I don't do social media tends :D , laugh at them , and move on with my day.

Once a month :D

Save your condescending comments for your own page karen, thanks!

I was never trying to be condecending !! Omg ! I was trying to be involed in your comments and part of a broader conversation ! But if thats how you respond to people that try to interact and be part of a conversation about different topics , then no problem ! Man ! Find other people to interact with that agree to everything you have to say ! That sounds like great brain storming to me ! Good luck ! I wish you all the best ! Steem on!😊😆

Believe me , we deal with this same situation all the time here in Canada , and its not nice but its the way of the world these days ! We live in very trying times and bad econymies all over the world , social media doent help , all they do is stir things up , and make more people mad for no reason , i hope you find the answers your looking for , but more often then not the president has nothing to do with it , and nothing he can change about it ! Best of luck to you !! But i think more research in the subject will lead you on the right path ! Steem on !👍😉

My question to you is !? What do you think , are they guilty !? Or innocent !? 🤔🤔🤔at the same time you posted ,,someone else posted " Can I Copy Your Work " With a picture of Trump !
