Political prisoner Eric King spoke with Unicorn Riot about testifying during his federal trial in Denver, Colorado. The trial was for a charge of assaulting a federal officer, which he was found not guilty of on March 18, 2022.
King was the one who was assaulted by Lieutenant Wilcox in a mop closet on August 17, 2018 around 1:45 p.m. at the FCI Florence prison.
After being found not guilty, King's custody level was increased from a medium to a maximum, and he was transferred to maximum security prison USP Lee in Virginia, where he's been since May 4.

Alex and Niko of Unicorn Riot are speaking at the @bioneers conference this weekend. Alex is speaking on a panel about independent media, and Niko is showing two short films he made, followed by a Q&A.
