Las Vegas trial in Bunkerville standoff case delayed a week
February 20, 2017 - 12:17 pm
The continuing federal trial against six men accused of conspiring with rancher Cliven Bundy has been put on hold for a week.
Prosecutors are in the midst of presenting their case against six people charged as “gunmen” in the 2014 standoff in Bunkerville, which occurred after federal agents tried to carry out a court order to seize Bundy’s cattle from a federal grazing allotment.
Citing the federal Presidents Day holiday and scheduling issues on other days, U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro decided last week to put the case on hold for a week.
Prosecutors are scheduled to resume calling witnesses Feb. 27.
