PORTLAND — A federal judge has rejected Ammon and Ryan Bundy’s request for a trial delay.
The Bundys and more than a dozen other defendants are scheduled for trial in September on charges stemming from the January takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
Marcus Mumford, who replaced Mike Arnold as Ammon Bundy’s lawyer in May, seeks both the delay and his client’s pretrial release, contending that he and Bundy have been unable to watch hours of video evidence with his client still jailed.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that Bundy was recently moved from the jail in downtown Portland to one on the outskirts.
U.S. District Judge Anna Brown said Wednesday she couldn’t approve a delay without a showing that the Bundys, who initially insisted on a trial starting in April, couldn’t prepare for trial by Sept. 7.
