OREGON STANDOFF:  JOE O'SHAUGHNESSY GETS 'TIME SERVED' WITH TWO YEARS 'SUPERVISED RELEASE'


He pled guilty in connection with Oregon Standoff protest and was facing charges in connection with the Bunkerville Standoff.

Joe O'Shaughnessy was jailed without bail for 21 months and then freed when the hidden evidence proving his innocence came out late last year.  Early this year the Justice Department withdrew his Bunkerville charges but they have appealed US District Judge Gloria Navarro's dismissal of charges against the key defendants.

Last Thursday (July 15th) O'Shaunghnessy appeared for sentencing at US District Court in Portland.

He got the time he's served in jail and was sentenced to two years of supervised release.  

His defense lawyer had argured for just one year of supervised release.

Also worth noting is that the attempt of Mel and Brianna Bundy to get to Portland by airliner was rebuffed at the airport in Las Vegas because they are on the "terrorist watch list".    They had hoped to get to Portland to show their support for Joe O'Shaughnessy.
