US Supreme Court rules in favour of January 6 Capitol rioters
The Morning Standard
|June 29, 2024
THE US Supreme Court on Friday made it harder to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction, a charge used in hundreds of prosecutions and also faced by former US President Donald Trump.
-
The justices ruled 6-3 that the charge of obstructing an official proceeding, enacted in 2002 in response to the financial scandal that brought down Enron Corp, must include proof that defendants tried to tamper with or destroy documents.
The matter was brought to the court in the case of a former police officer Joseph Fischer, a supporter of Trump who entered the Capitol in Washington, DC with hundreds of others on January 6, 2021.
