New Hampshire activist wants to change plea on Nevada standoff -wife
Source: Reuters
A prominent conservative activist from New Hampshire wants to withdraw his earlier guilty plea for his role in an armed standoff with federal agents in Nevada in 2014, his wife said on Tuesday.
The decision by Gerald DeLemus, 61, follows the surprise acquittal last week of Ammon Bundy, a leader in the Nevada standoff, and six of his followers stemming from their role in the armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon earlier this year.
The judge in DeLemus's case would have to weigh whether to accept any change of plea.
"He felt the jury saw the truth and recognized the truth," said DeLemus's wife, Susan, a Republican state representative in the New Hampshire legislature. "When dealing with a government you feel is unjust, seeing justice come from the people was, I think, encouraging."
