“If you shoot, you own
your shots,” Sussman said.
Sussman
portrayed
Astarita as a relatively inex-
perienced member of an
elite FBI unit, and the only
member of law enforcement
who was in position to fire
the shots in question.
“Only one guy stood in
just the right spot,” he said.
“Only one guy stood with
his rifle shouldered, aimed
right at Robert “LaVoy”
Finicum’s truck.”
Finicum and the occu-
piers seized the refuge on
Jan. 2, 2016, to protest the
imprisonment of two Ore-
gon ranchers who had set
fires. President Donald
Trump recently pardoned
those men, Dwight and Ste-
ven Hammond.
On Jan. 26, the FBI
learned that Bundy, Fini-
cum and other key figures
were leaving the refuge in
two vehicles to meet with a
sheriff sympathetic to their
cause.

highway north of Burns.
Police stopped the vehi-
cles, and several people sur-
rendered, including Ammon
Bundy. But Finicum fled
at more than 70 mph with
Bundy’s brother Ryan and
several others.
Roughly a mile down the
road, Finicum swerved to
avoid a roadblock, nearly hit
an FBI agent and careened
into a snowbank. Three
shots, none fired by Astar-
ita, hit the pickup during the
chaos.
The two mystery gun-
shots rang out as Finicum
emerged from his pickup
and yelled, “Go ahead and
shoot me!”
One bullet missed every-
thing and was never recov-

pickup and shattered a win-

from the bullet, went into
Ryan Bundy’s shoulder. The
potential evidence remains

Search continues for missing
“very social” John Day couple
By STEVEN DUBOIS
Associated Press
PORTLAND — FBI
special agent W. Joseph
Astarita is one of the FBI’s
best shooters, and he knows
when to shoot and when not
to shoot, his defense attor-
ney told jurors Wednesday.
Standing within easy
striking distance of Robert
“LaVoy” Finicum, a militia
leader who had come close
to killing his fellow agent,
Astarita decided to hold fire,
the attorney, Robert Cary,
said during his opening
statement in a case that has
become an unlikely footnote
to the armed takeover of the
Malheur National Wildlife
Refuge in early 2016.
“If he had shot, he would
not have missed,” Cary said.
Astarita, 41, is charged
with making false state-
ments and obstruction of
justice after repeatedly tell-
ing investigators he did not
fire two shots that missed
Finicum, an Arizona rancher
who served as spokesman
for the Ammon Bundy-led
group that seized the refuge
in southeastern Oregon.
The errant shots came
as Finicum left his pickup
while authorities tried to
arrest leaders of the take-
over. Oregon State Police
fatally shot Finicum sec-
onds later.
The
shooting
was
deemed legally justified,
and Assistant U.S. Attorney
Gary Sussman told jurors in
his opening that the case is
about not whether Astarita
was right or wrong to fire.
It’s about integrity, “with-
out which a law enforce-
ment officer is nothing and
