Federal jury finds oath keepers GUILTY of "seditious conspiracy" faces decades in jail,.will die in jail! [ link to news.yahoo.com (secure)] A federal jury on Tuesday found the leader of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, and one of his top associates in the far right militia group guilty of seditious conspiracy for their involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S Capitol. Three other defendants were acquitted of the seditious conspiracy charge, the most serious offense against them, but Rhodes, Kelly Meggs and the others, Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins and Thomas Caldwell, were all convicted Rhodes and his co-defendants faced multiple federal criminal charges stemming from their participation in the Capitol riot, including the sedition count, a rare and politically controversial charge carrying a penalty of up to 20 years in prison. The jury's decision comes after a weekslong trial in which federal prosecutors sought to prove that the defendants conspired to prevent Congress from certifying the victory of then-newly elected Joe Biden and keep outgoing President Donald Trump in power. |
