The seditious conspiracy trial of Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four lieutenants is coming at a pivotal time for Justice Department's investigation and prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection |
Enrique Tarrio and three other subordinates were found guilty of numerous felonies, including seditious conspiracy, for their roles in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. They were convicted of conspiring to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden, and using force and prior planning to hinder the 2020 presidential election certification. They were also found guilty of other felonies, including obstructing an official proceeding, obstructing Congress, conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging duties, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, aiding and abetting, and destruction of government property. The four now face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. However, there was no verdict for Dominic Pezzola on the most serious charge of seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. Judge Timothy Kelly sent the jury back to deliberate on these charges and several other felonies that they did not come to a verdict on. Only Pezzola was found guilty of assaulting officers, while Tarrio was found not guilty of assaulting officers.
