Jury to Decide Fate of First Capitol Rioter to Go to Trial

Posted on Posted in Lexis and Westlaw, National

A federal jury is expected soon to decide (article via Westlaw) on the guilt or innocence of Guy Reffitt the first accused January 6th rioter to go to trial.  The charges against Reffitt include carrying a semi-automatic handgun while on Capitol grounds and obstructing justice by threatening his children with harm if they reported him to authorities.  Reffitt’s estranged son Jackson, now 19, turned him into the FBI and testified against him last week. Reffit is facing up to 20 years in prison.

The case number is 1:21-CR-00032 (USA v. REFFITT).  The dockets can be viewed via Westlaw, Lexis, Pacer and several other websites.
