Once the defense rests its case, the prosecution will have the opportunity to put on a rebuttal. In court they’ve said they may put on evidence related to the 2014 standoff near Bunkerville, Nevada that involved some of the Oregon occupiers and rancher Cliven Bundy.
Bunkerville was not part of the government’s original case in Oregon. Despite a warning from the judge, Bundy’s defense attorney, Marcus Mumford, argued Bunkerville was central to his client’s defense and must be part of this trial. During Bundy’s testimony, Mumford had Bundy speak about that incident during a presentation that included multiple videos.
That testimony opened the door for the potential rebuttal from prosecutors.
