LAS VEGAS - A jury has been selected for the trial of Nevada rancher and states' rights figure Cliven Bundy. Bundy, sons Ryan and Ammon Bundy, and Ryan Payne of Montana are on trial for leading a self-styled militia against U.S. Bureau of Land Management agents in April 2014. The BLM was trying to enforce court orders to stop Bundy cattle from grazing in what is now Gold Butte National Monument. The long-awaited trial comes after prosecutors twice fell short in previous trials to gain full convictions of six other men who were armed with assault-style weapons during the confrontation. Several co-defendants have pleaded guilty in recent weeks to lesser charges. Opening statements are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Nov. 7. The evidentiary hearing is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 3. KLAS
