Bundy prosecutors throw “Hail Mary”
Federal prosecutors aren’t giving up on their case against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. On Wednesday they filed opening briefs in their appeal of a judge’s dismissal of felony conspiracy and weapons charges against Bundy and others.
The case was dismissed a year ago by U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro, who found “flagrant prosecutorial misconduct” by prosecutors against Bundy, his sons Ammon and Ryan, and independent militia member Ryan Payne.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth White asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday to reverse Navarro’s decision, defending the Justice Department’s actions at trial.
“Any missteps were inadvertent (or at worst negligent), and those errors did not merit the court’s strong condemnation of the prosecution team,” White wrote, according to reports by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Cliven Bundy’s lawyer, Larry Klayman, responded to the government’s brief in a separate filing, calling the appeal “unprofessional and grossly unethical.”
