An Auburn man – and three other leaders of the “Proud Boys” have been convicted of one of the most serious crimes in the January attack on the U.S. Capitol: “seditious conspiracy.”
Prosecutors say Ethan Nordeen was among those who organized the attack in an attempt to keep Donald Trump president.
A guilty verdict against Tarrio, who wasn’t even in Washington, D.C., when the riot erupted, would affirm that those accused of planning and inciting the violence could be held responsible even if they didn’t join in it. The backbone of the government’s case is a group of messages that Proud Boys leaders privately exchanged on the Telegram platform before, during, and after the Capitol riot.
Among the Proud Boys defendants, only Pezzola is accused of engaging in violence or destruction after being filmed smashing a Capitol window with a riot shield.
