Clatsop County District Attorney Josh Marquis filed a state bar complaint against Bundy's two lawyers in regard to their frequent pre-trial press conferences:
In Marquis' complaint, which was emailed to the Oregon State Bar on Feb. 17 and first reported by The Register-Guard in Eugene Thursday, the Clatsop County district attorney described the Oregon U.S. Attorney's Office's handling of the federal conspiracy case pending against Bundy and 24 others as "measured.''
"Yet Mr. Arnold has seen fit to constantly hold news conferences to convey his clients opinions, defenses, attacks on the federal government in a manner that cannot be for any other purpose than reaching and influence possible jurors who, if this matter goes to trial, would be the triers of fact,'' Marquis wrote.
He apparently believes that their actions serve to unfairly taint the jury pool. It's unfortunate that nobody had the foresight a few decades ago to taint the Bundy gene pool; the circus might have been avoided here. As it is, every time you turn around it seems another one pops out of the clown car.
