On Assaulting and impeding law enforcement count (tied to PB Charles Donohoe aka Yut Yut Cowabunga's throwing of a water bottle at law enforcement)
Jurors are still deliberating a verdict for this count.
On Assaulting and impeding law enforcement count (This is tied to Pezzola's wrestling of a riot shield away from a police officer, leaving that officer utterly exposed):
Dominic Pezzola is found GUILTY.
Tarrio, Nordean, Biggs and Rehl are found NOT GUILTY on this charge.
And finally, on Robbery of United States property, Dominic Pezzola is found GUILTY.
This is for stealing a police riot shield on Jan. 6. He tried to sell the jury a self defense angle, but they didn't buy it.
PROUD BOY DOMINIC PEZZOLA declared *not guilty* of seditious conspiracy.
Jonathan D. Cope, Esq.@Brandi_Buchman What's heartening is to see these juries are carefully weighing and balancing the evidence. Also, it's heartening to see prosecutors who are willing to file charges that are not just "slam dunk" conviction cases.
