Bundys looking to clear charges, not start next land fight
By KEN RITTER
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — A
mistrial marked a major
step this week in favor of a
family of ranchers accused
of leading armed standoffs
in two states to oppose U.S.
control of vast stretches of
land in the American West.
But states’ rights activist
Cliven Bundy and his sons
Ryan and Ammon Bundy
are not clear of legal troubles
and say they are not gearing
up for another fight in a
decadeslong dispute with the
government over manage-
ment of public lands.
The Bundys and Montana
militia leader Ryan Payne
are charged with conspiracy,
assault and threats over an
armed confrontation with
federal agents who were
rounding up of Bundy cattle
on public land in 2014.
Here is what is expected
next in the case:
A bid for freedom
Cliven
Bundy,
71,
remained behind bars as a
protest Thursday, a day after
Chief U.S. District Judge
Gloria Navarro declared
a mistrial. She set a Jan. 8
hearing to decide whether
charges should be dismissed
outright.
Bundy had refused Navar-
ro’s Nov. 30 offer to be freed
to house arrest during the
trial, with GPS monitoring
and other restrictions. His
sons and Payne took the
deal, but the elder Bundy is
holding out on principle until
he is completely free, his
lawyer and family members
say.
“A fair trial at this
point is impossible
with this jury. The
court is not deter-
mining or making
a finding (that) the
defendants are in
fact not guilty.”
— Gloria Navarro,
chief U.S. district judge

Ammon Bundy, right, and Carol Bundy, wife of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, speak
with reporters outside of a federal courthouse Wednesday, in Las Vegas. Chief U.S.
District Judge Gloria Navarro declared a mistrial Wednesday in the case against
Cliven Bundy, his sons Ryan and Ammon Bundy and self-styled Montana militia
leader Ryan Payne.
Attorney Bret Whipple
asked Wednesday for federal
detention officials to take
another look at his client’s
file and submitted court
documents seeking Bundy’s
release without conditions. A
hearing wasn’t immediately
set.
Cliven Bundy has been
behind bars since Feb.
10, 2016. He was arrested
at Portland International
Airport in Oregon after flying
to visit his sons in jail.
Ryan and Ammon Bundy
had led an armed takeover
of a national wildlife refuge
in early 2016 to demand the
government turn over public
land to local control. They
were arrested during a traffic
stop outside the refuge that
ended with police fatally
shooting a spokesman for the
occupation. They were later
acquitted of all charges.
Cliven Bundy was not
charged in the Oregon
standoff. Whipple said his
client has been jailed for
more than 22 months without
being convicted of any crime
in the Nevada standoff near
his ranch.
Judge’s findings
Navarro found prosecu-
tors violated the four defen-
dants’ due process rights by
failing to turn over records
that could help the defense
and denying that federal
authorities had positioned

The judge cited 3,300
pages of previously undis-
closed FBI and Bureau of
Land Management records
relating to the standoff and
the abandoned roundup of
Bundy cattle that should
have been provided to
defense attorneys ahead of
the November trial.
Navarro also ordered
a review and the refiling
of many key documents
that were submitted under
seal. Media organizations
including The Associated
Press had objected to the
secrecy.
Next steps in the case
The judge scheduled the
hearing next month to give
prosecutors and defense
teams time to submit written
arguments about whether the
case should be dismissed.
“A fair trial at this point
is impossible with this
jury,” the judge declared
Wednesday. But “the court is
not determining or making a
finding (that) the defendants
are in fact not guilty.”
She also set a new trial
date, Feb. 26. Acting U.S.
Attorney Steven Myhre
didn’t immediately say
whether he would seek to
retry the case.
U.S. Justice Department
spokesman Ian Prior said
in an email Thursday that
Attorney
General
Jeff
Sessions has personally
ordered a review of the case
to decide what to do next.
Ammon and Ryan Bundy
With their legal fate
unresolved, one of the two
eldest Bundy brothers said
they were not immediately
looking for another battle to
protest federal land policies.
Ryan Bundy, who has
been representing himself
at trial, said during a brief
interview that others could
take up the fight.
“We only have what rights
we’re willing to fight for. Why
don’t others start fighting for
freedom?” he asked. “It’s not
only our fight. People who
want freedom should take up
the battle and not leave it up
to someone else.”
Bundy said he would
“follow the spirit of the Lord”
and that he didn’t know what
that would be.
