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.
