A jury has found more members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia guilty of seditious conspiracy charges. Ed Vallejo, Roberto Minuta, Joseph Hackett and David Moerschel all received guilty verdicts for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack at the Capitol, in which members of the militia group used a "stack" formation to force their way into the building. The verdict comes just two months after a separate trial for five other members of the group, with that jury laying down a seditious conspiracy verdict for Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the group, among other charges. Seditious conspiracy — a charge for people who try to overthrow the government — carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. |
