In an era marking the demise of trial lawyers, enter Marcus Mumford. From the end of 2014, Mumford and his small team of rag-tag freedom-fighters, have tried five lengthy, major federal criminal trials, including representation of Ammon Bundy in the Oregon Standoff trial. Not one of those trials resulted in a conviction of any of Mumford’s clients. I don’t know of any criminal defense attorney in the country today who can boast a similar track record in high-profile federal cases – going up against massive federal resources and, and a stacked deck, resulting in a 97+% conviction rate.PAYING THE PRICE
At approximately 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2017, after a six-week trial and week-long deliberations, the federal jury in the Oregon Standoff Trial returned a unanimous verdict of Not Guilty. It was a grand slam for Attorney Marcus Mumford in the biggest case of his career.
Mumford’s immediate reward for this remarkable victory was to be tackled in the courtroom by a full squad of U.S. Marshals while attempting to address Judge Anna Brown. They took him to the ground, pounded his head into the floor, hit him with a Taser, handcuffed him, and threw him in a jail cell. All this for arguing that his freshly acquitted client, Ammon Bundy, should be released from incarceration—at least long enough to hug his wife, if not spend a few days helping with the family apple harvest.
