On Tuesday, the U.S. government rested its case against seven defendants charged in the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. OPB's Conrad Wilson fills us in on the final day of the prosecution's arguments.

Then, Portland defense attorney Kevin Sali joins us to talk about about what the occupiers and their lawyers will likely argue as they take center stage.
