Judge Declares Mistrial in Bundy Ranch Case, Says Govt Willfully Withheld Evidence
Judge Gloria Navarro declared a mistrial (instead of dismissing charges) in the Bundy Ranch case saying US prosecutors willfully withheld critical evidence from the defense.

Judge Navarro will decide if all charges will be dismissed at a hearing on Jan. 8.
