Oregon Standoff Trial Day 10: The Prosecution Rests

For nearly thirty minutes, two FBI agents showed off guns that had been seized from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge after the 41-day armed occupation was over. When the FBI agents were done with the 44 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition, the prosecution rested.

The case against Ammon Bundy, his brother Ryan and five others on charges stemming from the takeover of the refuge goes to the defense on Wednesday

On Tuesday - the tenth day of testimony - prosecutors presented 22 long guns, 12 handguns, and thousands of rounds of ammunition that were wheeled in to the courtroom in 14 large black bins.

In all, the FBI agents they had seized 18,331 pieces of ammunition from the refuge.

Defense lawyers had objected to the ammunition being introduced as evidence but Judge Anna Brown, who is overseeing the trial allowed it. She did, though, seem a little impatient, asking prosecution to speed things up.

"Can't we just do a summary, please," she said at one point as the prosecution was discussing the ammunition. "Let's get on with it."

On cross-examination, the defense lawyers pointed out that none of the weapons or ammunition was illegal.
