The trial for Gold Butte rancher Cliven Bundy, two of his sons and three other men was initially slated to start Tuesday. But U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro rescheduled it until Oct. 30, saying it would be difficult to find jurors who could “concentrate and focus on this case.”
Mesquite resident Stephen Paddock opened fire from his Mandalay Bay hotel room, killing 58 people and injuring 489 others at the nearby Route 91 Harvest country music festival Sunday night.
Despite objections from jailed defendants Cliven Bundy and his son Ammon Bundy, lawyers on both sides of the case agreed that a delay would be necessary, at least in part to give potential jurors a chance to recover from the tragedy.
Prosecutors have alleged Cliven Bundy conspired to thwart the federal government’s roundup of roughly 1,000 cows from public land. It will be the third trial in the case.
Men were poised with assault rifles less than 200 yards from Bureau of Land Management agents during the Bunkerville standoff.
Two defendants who were acquitted earlier this year on most counts are still slated to face a third jury on charges that include assault and threatening federal officers.- link
