SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Three weeks after blanket acquittals for seven defendants in the occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, defense attorneys for a second set of defendants and federal prosecutors are at odds over when to summon a pool of jurors for the second trial.

Defense attorneys want a pool of 2,000 jurors to be summoned as soon as possible, but federal prosecutors on Wednesday sought a delay.

1. It seems to me that the sixth amendment comes into play.

A right to a speedy trial and all that.

2. Actually no, they worked all that out before the 1st trial.

That is why there was so much back and forth travel by the accused between Nevada and Oregon.

3. I hope this set of teahadis gets justice.

Unfortunately, the last set didn't.

Convict and jail them, even though their hero the drumpfenfuhrer can always issue pardons later.
