Ammon Bundy, Others Plead Not Guilty in Oregon Refuge Case

Ammon Bundy and another 15 defendants pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal conspiracy charge related to 41-day occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge. Several of the accused, however, expressed doubt that they enjoy the presumption of innocence.

Bundy sat at the main defense table while most of his co-defendants sat in the jury box as they listened to a government prosecutor read the indictment and U.S. District Judge Anna Brown tell them their rights.

Bundy simply said “yes,” but four co-defendants took the opportunity to express doubt. (Read more from “Ammon Bundy, Others Plead Not Guilty in Oregon Refuge Case” HERE)
