JUST IN: A jury has convicted four Proud Boys members of seditious conspiracy for their roles on January 6, 2021.
Defendants Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, Enrique Tarrio and Dominic Pezzola face a range of charges, including three separate conspiracy charges, obstructing the Electoral College vote and tampering with evidence. The verdict marks the third time that prosecutors have secured convictions for seditious conspiracy in the Justice Department’s historic prosecution of those who breached the Capitol that day.
Prosecutors have alleged that leaders of the group riled members up and communicated with them, through hand signals, to move ahead. After rioters had arrived at Senate wing doors of the Capitol building, Pezzola used a police riot shield he stole during the attack to break open a window, prosecutors said, which rioters entered the Capitol through. Defense attorneys have argued that their clients never had a plan to storm the Capitol and stop the electoral college vote that day.
