The jury has finished its second day of deliberations deciding the fate of four men being tried for a second time in connection with standoff near Bundy Ranch on April 12, 2014.
Eric Parker, Steven Stewart, Scott Drexler and Ricky Lovelien were not convicted in their first trial with the jury split on verdicts. US District Judge Gloria Navarro then declared a mistrial.
Supporter of the four gathered outside the courthouse and staged a protest all day long.
Andrea Parker put duct tape over her mouth and was handcuffed wearing a shirt with "I am Eric Parker" written on it. It was her way of reminding us that the defendants were not allowed to present their case to answer the charges against them because of the prosecutor Steven Myhre and Judge Gloria Navarro.
The spectacle climaxed with the removal of Eric Parker from the stand last week in front of a stunned jury as the tried to testify in his own defense.
Eventually a mock jail cell was brought to the sidewalk for her to stand in.
But the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police then moved in to harass the protestors and demand removal of the mock cell. The cell was then removed.
We shall see how the jury decides after they were stunned to see Eric Parker removed from the stand last week as he was trying to testify in his own defense.
I Pray that these Men are found NOT GUILTY!
This whole thing is a Sham and a Travisty of justice.
Did the Juez give any final instructions to the jury yesterday?

Hopefully, the jury in this troubling case is fully informed regarding their authority under the United States Constitution.
If it is a fully informed jury—and that's a big "if", considering the behavior of most American judges—a "not guilty" verdict should be returned immediately—and on all charges.
What the federal government is trying to do to these patriots in this case is absolutely Tyrannical—a mockery of American Justice, IMHO...
My prayer is that the sane jurors won’t be railroaded.
Juez?
