Bundy Trial Begins: The Reporters' View

Oregon Public Broadcasting

The story that began in the dead of winter enters a new phase as summer draws to a close. 

Jury selection begins Wednesday (September 7th) in the trial of several of the defendants in the armed takeover of Oregon's Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. 

Ryan and Ammon Bundy are among the people being tried on multiple charges; the trial is expected to take weeks, if not months. 

Conrad Wilson from Oregon Public Broadcasting is one of two pool reporters assured of a seat in the courtroom.  He and OPB's Amanda Peacher join us for a pre-trial chat about what potentially lies ahead.
