1月6日袭击国会大厦的前警官所有罪名成立

2022-04-12 14:14  ABC   - 

一名在1月6日起义期间袭击国会大厦的前警官周一被陪审团认定六项罪名成立。

托马斯·罗伯逊被判有罪,罪名从妨碍官方程序到携带危险武器进入或停留在受限制的建筑物或场地。这是国会大厦暴乱者的第二个陪审团案件。

周一是审判的第五天,审判持续了几个小时,包括1月6日的视频片段,国会大厦和地铁警察的第一手资料,以及对联邦调查局特工如何处理罗伯逊和前同事的逮捕的内部调查密友雅各布·弗拉克尔他作证指控罗伯逊,作为他自己强攻国会大厦认罪协议的一部分。

陪审团在庭审中商议了大约15个小时,重点关注罗伯逊行为的非常具体的细节——从他站在哪里到他拿着什么。

陪审团发现,罗伯逊进入国会大厦的禁区,目的是阻碍选举人投票。他用一根木棍推开一名官员,这被裁定为可以用作危险武器。

“这个国家的许多人不同意总统选举的结果,”一名美国律师在上周二的公开辩论中说。“许多人使用并继续使用强硬的语言来表达他们的政治观点。但是被告,他不是因为信仰而受审,而是因为他的行为。”

在发现逮捕令后不久,罗伯逊销毁了他和Fracker的手机,并在一条消息中说,“任何可能有问题的东西都被销毁了,包括我的手机,”检察官在审判中说。

陪审团发现,这也意味着他可能破坏了两项官方程序——选举团投票程序或他自己的联邦审判,或者两者兼而有之。

罗伯逊的律师说,一名官员邀请他进入国会大厦,他只停留了10分钟,没有攻击任何人或造成任何损害。辩方请来了两名证人,每人作证时间不到8分钟。

“他进来,他取回,他离开,”罗伯逊的一名律师在审判的第一天说。“这就是这个案子的意义所在。”

1月6日,忠于唐纳德·特朗普总统的文件暴力叛乱分子袭击了国会大厦.

美国检察官办公室带来了九名证人,他们经常出庭作证一个多小时。

其中一个目击者是Fracker,他和Robertson一起冲进了国会大厦。作为认罪协议的一部分,他同意作证。他说,在审判期间,他这样做的部分原因是为了减刑。

结案陈词后,陪审团于上周五商议了五个小时。法官克里斯托弗·r·库珀在周一宣读了判决。

罗伯逊被判妨碍公务罪;在民众骚乱中妨碍公务;携带危险武器进入或停留在受限制的建筑物或场地;携带危险武器在受限制的建筑物或场地内进行扰乱秩序的行为;在国会大厦扰乱治安和妨碍公务。

Former police officer who stormed Capitol on Jan. 6 guilty on all counts

A former police officer who stormed the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection was found guilty Monday by a jury on all six counts.

Thomas Robertson was found guilty on charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon. This is the second jury case for a Capitol rioter.

Monday marked day five of a trial that spanned hours of Jan. 6 video footage, first-hand accounts from Capitol and Metro police officers and an inside look at how FBI agents handled the arrest of both Robertson and former colleague andclose friend Jacob Fracker, who testified against Robertson as part of his own plea agreement for storming the Capitol.

The jury deliberated for about 15 hours in a trial that focused on very specific details of Robertson's actions — from where he stood to what he was holding.

Robertson entered the restricted area of the Capitol with the goal of obstructing the electoral vote, the jury found. He used a wooden stick to push past an officer, which was ruled it could be used as a dangerous weapon.

"Many people in this country disagreed with the outcome of the presidential election," a U.S. attorney said during opening arguments last Tuesday. "Many people use, and continue to use, strong language to express their political views. But the defendant, he is not on trial for beliefs — he is on trial for his actions."

Shortly after he found out about the warrant for his arrest, Robertson destroyed his phone along with Fracker's, saying in a message, "anything that may have been problematic has been destroyed, including my phone," prosecutors said during the trial.

That also means he could have corrupted two official proceedings, the jury found – either the Electoral College voting process or his own federal trial, or both.

Robertson's lawyers said he was invited into the Capitol by an officer, stayed for only 10 minutes and didn't assault anyone or cause any damage. The defense brought in two witnesses who each took the stand for less than 8 minutes.

"He entered, he retrieved, he departed," one of Robertson's lawyers said on day one of the trial. "That's what this case is about."

The U.S. attorney's office brought in nine witnesses, who oftentimes took the stand for over an hour.

One of those witnesses was Fracker, who stormed the Capitol with Robertson. He agreed to testify as part of his plea agreement. He said during the trial he did this in part to lower his sentence.

The jury deliberated for five hours last Friday after closing arguments. Judge Christopher R. Cooper read the decision Monday.

Robertson was found guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding; obstructing officers during a civil disorder; entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon; disorderly conduct in a capitol building and obstruction of an official proceeding.
