A U.S. attorney has issued a warning to Jan. 6 defendants hoping the Supreme Court will throw out a charge used in hundreds of cases.
The federal government has issued a warning to defendants serving prison sentences for their alleged roles in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol that their plea to the Supreme Court could backfire.
In the filing, Graves wrote that even if the Supreme Court strike down their use of the charge, resulting in a reversal on Williams' conviction on that specific count, it may not necessarily result in a shorter prison sentence.
