The jury has returned a guilty verdict on my J6 charges:
• Entering or Remaining in a Restricted Area
• Disorderly or Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Area
• Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building
• Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in the Capitol Building
I told the same truth to the jury that I posted along with my video on January 7th: "I did not enter the capitol building as part of the protest, or for cheap thrills, but to accurately document and record a significant event which was taking place."
My sentencing hearing has been scheduled for January
In addition, Judge Kelly has asked for briefings on the Rule 29 motion made by my lawyers (which argues that the "evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction")
