Prosecutors argued that Vets for Trump co-founder Joshua Macias and co-defendant Antonio LaMotta, both of Virginia, planned a mass shooting as the outcome of the presidential election remained uncertain.
LaMotta is separately charged with federal misdemeanor offenses stemming from his alleged illegal entry of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
"The commonwealth has presented no evidence to show that they came here to interfere with an election," Brennan, who represents Macias, said after the one-day, non-jury trial. "They came, they stared at a building, they talked to some police officers, and they didn’t bother anybody." District Attorney Larry Krasner had publicly labeled Macias "a shark" with ties to far-right extremist groups. The defense painted him as a veteran and active member of an evangelical church.
