For those keeping count, that's 4-for-4 in jury trials, all guilty on all counts with very little time spent in jury deliberation.

This is the first conviction on assault charges too, which is great.

Now we've got seditious conspiracy, weapons charges, and assault on cop charges

So the next time your crazy uncle Frank says it was peaceful protestors, correct them

First trial conviction, yes. But there have been guilty pleas to assault.

I hope McFadden gets some kind of judicial comeuppance for being an outlier when this is all over.

From the texas woman to the two men, he’s been going out of his way to make excuses and comparisons for the dumbasses. I hope he doesn’t let pauline baer sovcit bullshit become rule of law.

Considering they were a former cop, they probably thought they could get away scot free.

Exactly- hes undoubtedly assaulted dozens of people, this is just the first time hes been held accountable.

And the plea deals seem to be picking up pace.

I love that these magat fucksticks were so deluded as to think they'd be acquitted or get retrials due to hung juries.

And I hope Judge Mehta swings the hammer hard on these traitors.

“I didn’t do it!”

“You’re on video committing this crime.”

“Tweren’t me, that was Antifa.”

“You’re wearing your work badge.”

It's a deepfake actor they brought up from the dungeons under the pizza place!

No, we are not going to have people making statements like this. That is complete bullshit.

Voir Dire was performed.

you need to modmail the mods with what state you are licensed to practice law in, and what kind of law you practice.

We do not need observers chiming in with supposition and speculation to lead to conspiracy.

I am going to let u/graneflatsis and u/dobermanpure chime in on this as well.

Just goes to show they need to get the conspirators on trial.

Seeing as they are still charging and investigating, I think you are premature.
