JUST IN: Jury reaches partial verdict in Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial.
The partial verdict is expected to be read in court by Judge Timothy Kelly, who oversaw the four-month trial. Kelly will send the jury back after the partial verdict is read to deliberate the remaining counts. Prosecutors had argued the defendants had conspired to unlawfully use force — and the crowds gathered in Washington, D.C. — to keep former President Donald Trump in office.
Some defendants – like Pezzola – were accused of breaking windows at the Capitol, while others roused the mob and pushed through metal barricades and police lines to enter the Capitol. "Did Enrique Tarrio make comments that were egregious? Absolutely," Tarrio's attorney rhetorically asked the jury in closing arguments last week."You may not like what he said, but it is First Amendment-protected speech."
Matthew Greene — a former Proud Boys member — testified as a government witness and told the jury he first joined the group to defend against ANTIFA. Another cooperating witness at trial, 43-year-old Jeremy Bertino, was considered to be Tarrio's top lieutenant and pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy last year. Like Tarrio, Bertino wasn't at the Capitol during the attack.
They blasted Bertino as a liar and alleged his testimony had been affected by his agreement with the government. The trial was expected to last a few months, but squabbles between attorneys, sealed hearings, and shifting court schedules hampered efforts to expedite the proceedings.
