An Arkansas man who was photographed during the Jan. 6 riot with his feet on a desk in then-House Speaker Pelosi’s office, has been found guilty on all counts.
An Arkansas man who was photographed during the Jan. 6 riot with his feet on a desk in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, was found guilty on all counts Monday after brief jury deliberations.stemming from the insurrection, including theft of government property. He said repeatedly in court last week that he regretted what transpired at the Capitol that day but did not consider his actions illegal.
In court Friday, before the case was handed to the jury, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Gordon pored over Barnett’s version of Jan. 6 and poked holes in his testimony, visibly angering Barnett. Asked Monday if the decision to testify may have backfired on Barnett given that the jury only needed a few hours to convict his client on all counts, McBride said, “We thought that the decision to testify was unequivocally the right one."
