BUNKERVILLE STANDOFF:  DAVE BUNDY WANTS PROSECUTORS OUT, GREG BURLESON WANTS HIS CONVICTION THROWN OUT, RYAN PAYNE JAILED IN OREGON

While Cliven Bundy, Ryan Bundy and Ammon Bundy are getting back to normal life as free men, a group of  four men are on pre-trial release facing trial in connection with Bunkerville.   Dave Bundy, Mel Bundy, Joe O' Shaugnessy and Jason Woods are set for trial on February 26th.

US District Judge Gloria M. Navarro says with the evidence being out in the open now, the four are eligible for trial.

But defendant Dave Bundy wants the prosecutors removed from the trial.   His lawyer filed a motion Friday saying that the prosecutors in the case are potential witnesses in his trial.     The prosecutors were berated by Judge Navarro at Monday's hearing dismissing charges "with prejudice" against the three Bundy men and Ryan Payne.

Meanwhile Ryan Payne is in jail in Portland, awaiting a January 23rd detention hearing.   His sentencing in connection with the Oregon Standoff protest is set for February 27th.  Payne was convicted in the second rigged Oregon Standoff trial with defense arguments and witnesses limited by US District Judge Anna. J. Brown.

Greg Burleson has filed a motion for a new lawyer.  Burleson was sentenced to 68 years in prison after his conviction on Bunkerville Standoff charges.   Burleson says that in light of all the evidence hidden during his trial by the prosecution, he wants to appeal his conviction.

Jerry DeLemus, who pled guilty in connection with Bunkerville and was sentenced to 87 months in prison by Judge Navarro, may do something through the legal system but that's not clear yet.

His wife Susan spoke with WMUR-TV in Manchester, New Hampshire Monday after the dismissal of charges against the four other defendants, saying she was contacting lawyers to see if anything could be done in light of the hiding of evidence.

Jerry DeLemus served as co-chair of  Donald Trump's "New Hampshire Veterans Coalition" during 2016's New Hampshire Primary and DeLemus was photographed along with his wife and Mr. Trump during a campaign event.

Susan DeLemus told the "Manchester Union-Leader":  "I want to be guarded about being too excited about this, because we don't know at this point.  But it could mean that he's coming home soon.  We are hoping and praying."
