Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy rejects release opportunity

A judge ordered Cliven Bundys release on Wednesday, but the Bunkerville rancher rejected the conditions and is expected to remain in custody.
Bundy has been behind bars for nearly two years.
U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro made her ruling about two weeks into testimony of the trial for Bundy, two of his sons and an independent militiaman. Under the judges order, Bundy would have been mostly restricted to the home of a family friend.
Cliven Bundy is a man of principle, his attorney, Bret Whipple, told reporters. And the terms of being released under these circumstances would violate those principles.

He refused to pay the agreed upon and amazingly cheap rates for grazing for two decades. Even the Nevada Cattlemen's Association wouldn't say a word in his favor.
