Valin Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Daily Wire Hank Berrien August 23 2017 On Tuesday, the federal jury in Las Vegas considering the case against the four men accused of taking up arms against federal agents during the Bundy Ranch standoff in 2014 decided none of them were guilty. After four days of deliberations, they jury decided that Richard Lovelien, Steven Stewart, Eric Parker and O. Scott Drexler were innocent of conspiracy and extortion; jurors could not reach a verdict on weapons and assault charges against Parker and Drexler. Las Vegas defense lawyer Shawn Perez said, "Both Ricky and I were teary-eyed. I was shaking ... I have gotten not-guilty verdicts before, but this was really special to me." Las Vegas defense lawyer Jess Marchese added, "(Parker) is getting released as we speak. He's ecstatic." Trisha Young, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Las Vegas, said, “While we are disappointed with the verdicts, we thank the jurors for their service. At this time, the government has not announced its decision regarding the retrial of Eric Parker and O. Scott Drexler.” Back in April, a jury deadlocked on charges against the four men, but convicted two other defendants on multiple counts. Conspiracy charges against all six men failed.
