Following six days of deliberation, a jury in Washington D.C. has found four out of five Proud Boy defendants guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection to their involvement in the Jan. 6 riot at the United States Capitol.

The defendants who were convicted are Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, and four other members and chapter leaders: Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola, the Daily Wire reported.

“The jury agrees that the government has proved the existence of a seditious conspiracy,” POLITICO’s Kyle Cheney reported Thursday morning. He noted that the rare charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.

“All defendants but PEZZOLA also guilty of conspiracy to obstruct Congress. Jury appears deadlocked on Pezzola for both of first two counts. However ALL defendants, including PEZZOLA, guilty of actual obstruction of Congress,” he tweeted.

The sole individual among the five accused of engaging in violence during the riot was Pezzola, who hails from Rochester, New York. According to reports, he utilized a riot shield that belonged to an officer to shatter a window on the western front of the U.S. Capitol. Pezzola was taken into custody back in January 2021 and has been in jail ever since.

Although Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, has received the most media attention in this case, he was not present in Washington, D.C. on the day of the Capitol breach. However, during the trial, the prosecution presented private and some public messages from Tarrio, which they claimed demonstrated his involvement in and responsibility for the riot. In one message, for instance, Tarrio wrote, “Make no mistake… we did this.”

The prosecution also presented a document titled “1776 Returns,” which was sent to Tarrio on Telegram and outlined plans for taking over the Capitol. However, defense lawyers argued that Tarrio did not respond directly to the document and maintained that he never saw it, let alone opened it.

From jail, Tarrio remarked on April 25 on the issue of free speech, saying generally that the government is trying to “manipulate” how people are able to talk to each other in private.

“What they’re trying to do, what people are trying to do – and this is in general, I’m speaking in general – is manipulate how we talk to each other in the locker room,” the former Proud Boy noted in a Twitter Spaces event. “And it’s not fair [ …] It’s just not right. It’s not the Justice system that you grew up in civics class learning about.”
