Enrique Tarrio is one of the top targets of the Justice Department’s investigation of the riot that erupted at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021
A historic trial over the deadly U.S. Capitol insurrection is drawing to a close, with prosecutors and defence lawyers set to make their final appeals to jurors before they decide the fate of Proud Boys extremist group leaders charged with plotting to use force to keep then-President Donald Trump in power.
Seditious conspiracy, a Civil War-era charge that is rare and can be difficult to prove, carries a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison. The Proud Boys also face other serious charges. “If Biden steals this election, will be political prisoners,” Tarrio posted on Nov. 16, 2020. “We won’t go quietly … I promise.”
The defence attorneys called several current and former Proud Boys to the stand, trying to portray the group as a drinking club that only engaged in violence for self-defence against antifascist activists.
