Three occupants of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to have their convictions appealed, but the court declined their request.
Attorneys for Jake Ryan, Darryl Thorn, and Duane Ehmer had argued that their felony convictions should be overturned because Oregon U.S. District Judge Anna Brown excluded over 400 potential jurors for cause based solely on their responses to a written questionnaire without consulting the defendants, infringing on their right to a public trial.
