BUNKERVILLE STANDOFF: SENTENCING DATES IN MARCH FOR THREE DEFENDANTS


Along with the two convicted (Greg Burleson, Todd Engel) and one who pled guilty (Jerry DeLemus), there are a number of Bunkerville Standoff defendants who cut plea deals before all the hidden evidence in the case was revealed and US District Judge Gloria Navarro declared a mistrial dismissing charges with prejudice in the third trial.

This coming Thursday (March 1st) sentencing is scheduled for internet broadcaster Pete Santilli, who was arrested in Burns, Oregon January 26th, 2016 during the Oregon Standoff protest, then jailed until his plea deal was cut last fall.   Santilli pled guilty to the misdemeanor charge of disobeying a federal court order.

Santilli is broadcasting online again with his previous "Guerilla Media Network" rebranded as the "Santilli Broadcasting Network".    Santilli at last word is set for sentencing next Thursday at 8am in Las Vegas.

Blaine Cooper is facing a sentencing hearing on March 8th at 8am.  He also cut a plea deal.

Todd Engel, convicted of two felonies in the second trial, is set for sentencing on March 22nd at 8am but he has filed a motion for a new trial, citing the hiding of evidence proving his innocence by the prosecutors.

There are three other sentencing hearings scheduled later in the year for those involved in plea deals (Scott Drexler April 26th, Brian Cavalier May 3rd and Eric Parker July 12th).
