BREAKING: Jurors Likely Deadlocked In Jan 6 Proud Boys Trial
2023-05-03
[ValiantNews] According to a report by NBC News’ Ryan Reilly, the jury in the Proud Boys trial is now deadlocked and just asked the judge in the case to provide more specific instruction on the definition of "seditious conspiracy".

This means the primary charge of the highest-profile January 6th case is now in doubt. The judge is expected to give instructions to the jury shortly on how to interpret the law and break the deadlock.
"Interpret it any way you have to to convict these bastards!"
A failure to convict the Proud Boys on seditious conspiracy would be a major black eye for the Department of Justice, as this is just one of only two trials of the so-called "January 6 Insurrection" where anyone has actually been charged with insurrection.Of the more than one thousand others who have been accused by the DOJ, the vast majority have been nonviolent offenders guilty of trespassing or "unlawful parading."

#2  They'll just find another 'jury' that is more amenable to 'the cause'.

#1  We knew their case was garbage, but for a DC jury to redneckognize it as well really puts the stink to it. Judge will instruct jury to simply convict.
