BUNKERVILLE STANDOFF:  PROSECUTORS WANT DEFENSE CASE LIMITED AGAIN

Late Monday, Acting  US Attorney Steven Myhre filed a motion saying the defense should not be allowed to say federal agents actions caused the defendants to be entrapped or to act in self-defense.

This is a repeat of the stance he took in the first two trials where evidence of entrapment and aggressive federal actions that caused the defendants to act the way they did was not disclosed to defense lawyers.

The defense in the case responded asking US District Judge Gloria M. Navarro to strike the prosecution motion.

The jurors are scheduled to come back to the courthouse tomorrow and we should find out then what the path of the trial will be, if any.

Is this move going to succeed again in light of what we know now?   Is it for 'propaganda purposes' for a future jury pool if there is a mistrial?

More will be posted Wednesday morning December 20th, the day a decisive decision is expected on the future path of the third Bunkerville trial and or the Bunkerville case.
