#BREAKING: Anarchist prisoner Eric King just found Not Guilty by a federal jury in a case where he was accused of assaulting a prison guard
The case against King has highlighted recurring themes of federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) irregularities and misconduct.

During King's trial on Weds paperwork in his cell was destroyed, which the BOP claims was caused by a "bird" flying into the prison: unicornriot.ninja/2022/bop-blame…
While he won at trial today, King remains incarcerated for now.

In 2016 he pled guilty to a 2014 molotov cocktail attack on an empty congressional office, an act he said was done in solidarity w/ #Ferguson uprisings after the police murder of Mike Brown: unicornriot.ninja/2016/eric-king…

During the federal trial against political prisoner Eric King, there have been multiple disruptive incidents affecting him at the prison where he's being held. King, his legal team, and supporters are concerned that these are retaliatory actions by BOP. unicornriot.ninja/2022/bop-blame…
On Thursday morning, which was the fourth and final day of trial, the government and the defense brought to Judge Martinez’s attention (without the jury present) that King’s cell was flooded when he returned to it the previous evening.
Zachary Huffman, a BOP paralegal, told the court that King’s cell’s sink was on and there was some toilet paper in it, seemingly alleging that King left it on. The judge asked if anyone else could have done that, and Huffman said it could potentially have been prison staff.
