Judge denies Ammon Bundy's motion for mistrial

U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown Friday denied a motion for a mistrial in which Ammon Bundy's lawyer claimed the Harney County sheriff had offered prejudicial testimony this week that the judge failed to address.

Bundy's lawyer Marcus Mumford had asked Sheriff Dave Ward during his cross-examination Wednesday if he had conducted his own investigation into the 2014 armed standoff near Bunkerville, Nevada.

In April 2014, federal officers were thwarted from following a court order to corral Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's cattle when they were met with a large group of armed protesters. Cliven Bundy is Ammon Bundy's father.
