A federal judge has declared a mistrial in the case against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, saying U.S. prosecutors willfully withheld critical and "potentially exculpatory" evidence from the defense. [More]Sounds good. But the judge admitting that "evidence that was withheld could have been favorable to the accused and could have affected the outcome of the case" raises a big red flag for me.
Acting Nevada U.S. Attorney Steven Myhre certainly comes across like a major villain in this story.

ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of misconduct, let's file charges of civil rights violations against Dan Love and his band of merry men, shall we?
