Brown didn’t find that the juror was biased and sent the panel home for the day. But she gave defense attorneys until Wednesday morning to find case law that supports additional questioning of the juror. The jury is considering charges against Bundy, his brother Ryan and five others of conspiring to impede federal workers from doing their jobs at the refuge. They took over the bird sanctuary Jan. 2, objecting to federal land policy and demanding the U.S. government turn over control of public range to local officials. In the second note sent by jurors, they asked the judge: “If we are able to agree on a verdict for three of the defendants, but are at a standoff for the others, does our decision for the three stand?” The note does not identify the three. Ammon Bundy’s attorney, Marcus Mumford, argued that the first note could be fatal to the government’s case. “If we do not get to the bottom of this situation ... I think we are inviting a mistrial down the road,” he said. 0 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme Didn’t receive your paper?

Jurors sent two handwritten notes to the judge that indicated they were having difficulty reaching a consensus after three days of deliberations. In one note, a member of the panel said a fellow juror mentioned that he was “very biased.” The writer asked the judge whether that juror, a former employee of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, can be considered impar- tial. The federal agency manages the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Oregon that a group led by Ammon Bundy took over for 41 days this winter. During questioning last month ahead of the trial, the juror said he worked for the agency more than 20 years ago as a range tech and firefighter. U.S. District Judge Anna Brown and representatives from the prosecution and defense met in chambers with the juror NATIONAL WEATHER TODAY Thu.

Lynn Benton was convicted last week of hiring his longtime friend and her son to kill Debbie Higbee Benton at her Gladstone beauty salon in May 2011. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that Benton waived his right to a sentencing phase Tuesday and agreed to accept a true life sentence. The sentence keeps the 54-year-old Benton off death row. The former Gladstone police sergeant spent most of his law enforcement career as a woman. He transitioned to male in 2010 before he wed Higbee Benton. The gender reassignment caused a rift between the couple and Benton moved out of their home a month before his wife’s death. Deschutes DA says judge’s gag order violates free speech SALEM (AP) — A district attorney in Oregon is objecting to a judge’s gag order on a murder case, saying it violates freedom of speech and infringes on both his ability to consult with the victim’s family members on potential plea bargaining and on his rights to communicate with the citizens he was elected to represent. Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel pushed back against a judge’s order in a motion filed Monday. The judge has ordered all parties in the case from making any extrajudicial statements about it that could reach the public. Edward Lara, of Redmond, is charged with murdering 23-year-old Kaylee Sawyer, of Bend. Lara was a security guard at Central Oregon Community College in Bend. His trial is scheduled for October 2017. Idaho, Eastern Oregon produce more, larger onions in 2016 SALEM (AP) — Producers in the Idaho- Eastern Oregon area saw onion yields that are larger in both quantity and size this year. The Capital Press reports that despite the bigger yields in 2016, prices dropped, meaning producers saw about break-even earnings. The Idaho-Eastern Oregon growing region has about 300 growers who produce roughly 25 percent of the United States’ Spanish bulb onions. Snake River Produce Manager Kay Riley says the larger-than-normal crop led to depressed prices, a situation made worse by a strong U.S. dollar and weak export market. Bulb onion prices are about 50 percent of what they were this time last year and nearing the break-even price for farmers.
