Portland, Ore. – Juror 4 is defending the acquittal of Ammon Bundy and his six co-defendants in the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation.

According to the Oregonian/OregonLive, Juror 4 said the prosecution failed to prove fundamental elements of a conspiracy charge.

“It should be known that all 12 jurors felt that this verdict was a statement regarding the various failures of the prosecution to prove ‘conspiracy’ in the count itself – and not any form of affirmation of the defense’s various beliefs, actions or aspirations,” Juror 4 wrote Friday in a lengthy email to The Oregonian/OregonLive.
