WASHINGTON, D.C.—Is there anyone who hasn’t heard of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol Building in Washington D.C.?choosing a jury in the District of ColumbiaAttorneys in federal court on Monday started the process of selecting a jury to try Riley Williams, the Mechanicsburg woman accused of directing the mob inside the Capitol that was trying to stop the transfer of presidential power and stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop on Jan.
Another mother of a then-infant said she feared for her child’s safety during the riots from five miles away from the Capitol Building, and was prepared to flee the District of Columbia if the insurrection tumbled out of control. Despite perhaps not knowing the name “Riley Williams,” many said they were aware Pelosi’s laptop had been stolen from her office in the capitol building Jan. 6, 2021.
“Not all people present on Jan. 6 did what this defendant is accused of doing, or even broke the law,” Jackson said.
