An attorney for Ryan Bundy said his client will not agree to have metal fragments removed from his shoulder due to concerns that the metal, which he described as "a crucial piece of evidence," could be lost or damaged by law enforcement.
Brian Claypool, who is acting as co-counsel for Bundy, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that Bundy has no plans to have the fragments removed from his arm as it has little bearing on his criminal case, though he left open the possibility of having it surgically removed ahead of a civil lawsuit Bundy plans to file against the government.
"He has not agreed to it being removed," Claypool said in a phone interview. "The concern, from both him and I, is the preservation of evidence" ...
It was during that traffic stop that Oregon state troopers opened fire on Robert "Lavoy" Finicum ... Bundy and his supporters claim that the metal in his arm came from a bullet he took that day, though exactly how he came to be wounded has not been determined ...
