A federal jury on Friday began deliberating the fate of a QAnon believer who chased down U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman on Jan. 6.
The government and Jensen’s defense team made their closing arguments Friday, before the jury of 10 men and two women began deliberating in the afternoon.
“Every barrier he encountered that day, he was ready to topple,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Hava Arin Levenson Mirell said. He scaled a 20-foot wall to reach the Capitol, inhaled clouds of pepper spray “like it was oxygen,” and passed through police lines.at Jensen's trial, had “no back-up” when he faced off with rioters, Mirell said. And the mob, “led by the defendant," didn’t withdraw despite being asked to by authorities.
He argued that his client did not lay a hand on anyone and denied that Jensen took part in some of the chaotic scenes on scaffolding as prosecutors have alleged.
