JUST IN: Six people affiliated with the far-right Oath Keepers militia group were convicted of various charges related to the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
Four of the defendants were found guilty on all of the charges they faced. Defendants Sandra Parker, Laura Steele, Connie Meggs and William Isaacs were accused of entering the Capitol during the riot and attempting to make their way to the Senate chamber before being deterred by pepper spray and police officers in the building.
Defense attorneys were able to review the exhibits jurors were given, he said, and most had signed a filing that said they “jointly agreed on the exhibits” with prosecutors. “None of the defense lawyers did what I instructed,” Mehta said. “Everybody had at least a weekend to ask for what had been sent back and review it,” Mehta added. “Defense counsel did not do it. That’s fine.
