The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has trashed the prosecution – under the Barack Obama administration – of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his sons and supporters, condemning prosecutors for withholding evidence that would have helped the defense.

The Bundys have been in a dispute with the federal government for more than 25 years over cattle grazing rights for his cattle. The government alleged that Bundy, his sons and Montana militia leader Ryan Payne the leades of a massive conspiracy to assault law enforcement officers a few miles from the Bundy ranch. An armed standoff occurred after federal agents tried to execute a court order to round up Bundy’s cattle on federal land.

Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch, said his client, Cliven Bundy, has been "forced to endure the emotional distress and physical harm of being arrested and denied bail, being thrown in solitary confinement for no valid reason, denied right of counsel and a speedy trial and then, after about two years of illegal incarceration, had to endure a sham and fraudulent trial, where exculpatory evidence was hidden, prosecutors lied to the presiding judge, and where a whistleblower came forward to disclose that there had been a 'kill list' by some agents of the Bureau of Land Management on the heads of the Bundys, is now relieved that this nightmare is over."
