Witness testimony concluded on January 20. It took the jury approximately two hours of deliberations to reach a unanimous guilty verdict on all counts.

Sounds like they didn't even stall for lunch

Yeah, what no free pizza?

u/BikerJedi Jan 23 '23

I would've dragged out deliberations just long enough to get a free meal after sitting through that.

EDIT: Also, absolute fucking bullshit he is free to roam until sentencing in May.

Lock. Them. All. Up.

u/theartfulcodger Jan 24 '23

Clearly, the jury was so pissed off at his ridiculous protestations of innocence and the contradictory bullshit he spouted under cross that the members just didn’t want to spend a minute more than they had to in this man’s presence.

Because there are some things that even free pizza can’t buy.

u/Happyslappy6699 Jan 24 '23

Nursing has entered the chat.

u/chaoticmessiah Jan 24 '23

Yeah, you'd think he'd be kept in custody like dangerous criminals in the UK are before sentencing.

12

u/ritchie70 Jan 24 '23

I don’t understand why any of these terrorists are out, before or after trial. I can’t understand it.

u/hollow_legs_ Jan 24 '23

Seems like a major flight risk to me

u/thebillshaveayes Jan 28 '23

Under surveillance I’d hope. ESP those with para-military ties to right wing domestic terrorist groups.

28

u/maleia Jan 24 '23

You know, honestly, that's probably what the 2 hours really was 😂

5

u/DankNerd97 Jan 24 '23

Why in the hell does someone convicted of insurrection get to roam free?

6

u/fattymcfattzz Jan 24 '23

Have you been on a jury? Shit sucks

2

u/ImInOverMyHead95 Jan 24 '23

It’s his last little bit of freedom before 10+ years in prison. At least he’s going to lose a great portion of whatever time he has left in prison.

3

u/caradenopal Jan 24 '23

So what… no f-cking ziti!?

112

u/Tripwir62 Jan 23 '23

He told the FBI he’s a “very smart man.”

123

u/zeidoktor Jan 23 '23

While putting his feet up on their desk and asking "does this look familiar?"

94

u/CarlRJ Jan 23 '23

Sounds almost like he thought the FBI guys would be sympathetic / on his side.

22

u/trueslicky Jan 24 '23

I wonder why he would've thought that?

2

u/Coma_Potion Jan 24 '23

Because dumb

43

u/buffyfan12 Light Bringer Jan 23 '23

Correct

13

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '23

Some of them might be.

3

u/sooperkool Jan 24 '23

And they'll still lock his dumbass up.

66

u/Tripwir62 Jan 23 '23

What an arrogant POS.

40

u/_regionrat Jan 24 '23

How are we not talking about him bringing a cane with a built in stun baton?

Like, is he the fucking riddler?

22

u/Sprout59 Jan 23 '23

Yes and he took mail and posted it on his social media site! Thought that was a fedral offense also. Pile it on.

58

u/drunkpunk138 Jan 23 '23

I would have assumed you were joking if you didn't have a link to back it up.

39

u/zeidoktor Jan 23 '23

Exactly why I included it. (I'd heard about it and made a point of looking it up to make sure I wasn't misremembering or taking a joke post somewhere seriously)

41

u/funktopus Jan 23 '23

He's the one that told the FBI you won't find my weapons cause I'm smart right? I swear that was him.

22

u/TheGeneGeena Jan 23 '23

That was him.

34

u/MuuaadDib Jan 23 '23

They all look so confident and proud of themselves, can't wait to check back in with him in 12 months and see his face.

More like this I suspect...

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '23

Given his age, he’s going to get a life sentence. Never to walk free again.

7

u/Wraywong Jan 24 '23

If anything, they will go easy on him due his age...probably claim is he is suffering from Alzheimer's, or the like.

If I was his lawyer, that would be my strategy.

39

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '23

He was cocky because he thought he was only a few hours away from a presidential pardon. Possibly even an medal from Cheeto himself.

Oopsie doodles.

u/Wise_Ad_253 Jan 24 '23

Her sure found out.

2

u/FranticHam5ter Jan 24 '23

So he lied to the FBI.

u/Benefghj Jan 23 '23

It's just a more broadly descriptive phrase that includes the non-attack events alongside the attacks themselves.

53

u/PurpleSailor AuntieFa Jan 23 '23

The paperwork can take a while. Without that it probably took the jury 5 minutes.

73

u/UmbraNyx Jan 23 '23

Yeah, this is insanely fast for eight criminal charges.

139

u/GogglesPisano Jan 23 '23

I guess literally having video and photos of the defendant in the act of committing the crimes (and then further video of him repeatedly bragging about it afterward) speeds up the process quite a bit.

65

u/vicarofvhs Jan 23 '23

Don't forget the interview he gave after exiting the capitol but still on the grounds, talking about how he "came into this world screaming and covered in someone else's blood, and I ain't afraid to go out of it that way!" Yeah, not a good look for someone claiming he was just a victim of circumstance.

50

u/ChickenChaser5 Jan 23 '23

Omg what a 14 year old edgy thing to say lol.

31

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '23

Republicans speak in catch phrases.bita part of their mental disability.

12

u/Jillredhanded Jan 24 '23

In court he said that he was "swept" into the Capitol by the crowd and was only wandering around inside looking for a restroom.

7

u/vicarofvhs Jan 24 '23

And then they played the interview footage, I hope. "Your honor, the prosecution submits that Big-O is full of shit." "Sustained."

22

u/zuma15 Jan 23 '23

He also testified on the stand and his lies were laughable. The jury probably found them insulting to their intelligence.

Because some parts of america have ridiculously dumb laws. Under any civilised country's law, that boy is a murderer, plain and simple.

-17

u/commissar0617 Jan 23 '23

Law isn't about what you feel. It's about what you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

11

u/Kizik Jan 24 '23

I think you'll find that's largely untrue in much of the US.

12

u/foxhound525 Jan 24 '23 edited Jan 24 '23

Yeah, and by the laws of civilised countries, the guy committed murder, beyond reasonable doubt. Premeditation with the evidence to back it up, followed by shooting down an unarmed man in the street because his fee fees felt threatened. That might wash by mentally challenged American law, but he'd be in prison right now if that was done in a civilised country. About as open and shut as a murder case can be.

-9

u/commissar0617 Jan 24 '23

there's no evidence of actual premeditation. don't grab someone's gun if you don't want to be shot... it's like the pikachuface meme

6

u/foxhound525 Jan 24 '23

Other than the video footage of him saying he would like to start shooting people before it happened, then him bringing an illegally obtained weapon to the place with the intention to kill people.

And people are well within their rights to disarm a terrorist that has just committed murder, Kyle was not within his right to continue murdering.

You either have a very selective memory, or you're mentally challenged. Either way I'm not interested in any of the verbal diarrhoea you have to contribute.

u/Steveb523 Jan 24 '23

Wtf? He brought a rifle to a demonstration. That’s not evidence of premeditation?

9

u/ChickenChaser5 Jan 23 '23

The person didnt mention how they felt. They disagreed with the law.

u/BigTimeSuperhero96 Jan 23 '23

How many s's in innocent?

u/mybluecathasballs Jan 23 '23

He probably uses two, but not where you'd think.

1

u/Redivivus Jan 24 '23

I figured he'd use 8.

u/FiveUpsideDown Jan 23 '23

This conviction is tough way for criminals to learn that photos of them committing crimes can’t be refuted.

9

u/whatproblems Jan 23 '23

two hours means it must have been on like the first round they were just going through the charges and filling the paperwork

9

u/RTK9 Jan 24 '23

This fucking amber heard logic for the appeal:

"This was not a jury of my peers"

Toddlers aren't old enough to serve on a jury and your like-minded peers are also going to jail for terrorism related charges so they are likewise not available

u/taway1NC Jan 23 '23

Not even time for donuts - guilty & can we go home now.

u/mcpat21 Jan 23 '23

Unanimous. You love to see it.
