United States versus Delyla D. Wilson is a criminal case set for trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, charging the defendant with assault on Federal officials. The case arises out of the defendant's disruption of a public meeting in Montana earlier this year attended by Senator Conrad Burns, along with other Federal and State officials.
