I cannot tell if you are serious or yanking my chain! (In the John Day thread, you certainly know about the notorious sheriff of Grant County.)
Remember back in January when a motley crew of thugs led by Ammon Bundy and his brother, Ryan, occupied Malheur? The trial for seven of them, including Ammon and Ryan starts September 7 at the federal district court house in PDX. Voir dire is expected to last 3 days.
Then the fun begins.
Your own Mike Arnold of Eugene was Ammon's initial defense lawyer, but backed out a few months ago.
Oh, that trial! I was hoping you'd explain the "Bundynista" comment, I just didn't understand that part.
I actually know (and like) Mike. As crazy as it sounds, I met him at a Democratic Party fundraiser. He's a very good attorney and has a really strong due process drive. Still, I was a little surprised he took the case.
Anyway, that should be an interesting trial. I do expect they'll be convicted and I hope that there's a full and fair hearing of the evidence in the process.
