I am really starting to think Myhre needs to be fired. He stated, "The Court needs to put a stop to these illegal theories and defenses in order for the government to receive a fair trial,'' Myhre wrote. "The government, too, is entitled to a fair trial.''

That statement is almost laughable except it's not funny. The Government has been anything but fair to the Bundy family.

That’s just asking for a mistrial on appeal....................

"The government, too, is entitled to a fair trial.''

Fired?

He needs to be tarred and feathered and thrown in Lake Mead.

Yeah.

Laughable if it weren't so serious.

Pres Trump should have had these cases dismissed and the Hammond's out of jail.

Don't know what his stance is.

The prosecutor’s statement is probably a widespread perspective. Completely consistent with how Courts deal with “frivolous” arguments in tax cases. Also, how they deal with asset forfeiture. Are they interested in truth? Justice? What about a presumption of innocence? This is abuse of power by an institution with unlimited resources.

Prosecutors have asked the judge in the Bundy case to limit defense theories, and not allow Cliven Bundy, his two sons and Ryan Payne to claim federal officers provoked their armed standoff over the roundup of Bundy cattle, or that they were entrapped or acted in self-defense in April 2014.

Can't have them presenting a defense in front of the jury or the federal railroad might jump the tracks.

Only in the prosecutions Amerika is a defendant not allowed to offer their own defense.

[DesertRhino]

This is outrageous for the prosecution to be allowed to decide what arguments the defense may make. They are free to make ANY argument they want. Then the jury can agree or not.

But it’s Stalinist to order the defense not to make certain arguments. More evidence of the growing police state.
