Do the crime, do the time - no matter WHO YOU THINK told you to do it.Columbus man blaming Trump's 'orders' for riot actions found guilty
A federal jury also found Dustin Byron Thompson, 38, guilty of stealing a coat rack from an office inside the Capitol during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.www.10tv.com
WASHINGTON — A Columbus man who testified he was “following presidential orders” from Donald Trump when he stormed the U.S. Capitol was convicted Thursday of obstructing Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.
A federal jury also found Dustin Byron Thompson, 38, guilty of stealing a coat rack from an office inside the Capitol during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.o
Jurors deliberated less than three hours before their verdict, rejecting Thompson's novel defense. He blamed Trump and members of the president’s inner circle for the insurrection and for his own actions.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Rather lame defense. Guess he was hoping to have a jury of TDSers.Columbus man blaming Trump's 'orders' for riot actions found guilty

As a Trumpophile , his defense makes perfect sense. Following in his idol's footsteps, it isn't his fault.Rather lame defense. Guess he was hoping to have a jury of TDSers.
His lawyer should be disbarred for putting him thru a jury trial. He could have quartered his sentence if he had plead guilty and cooperated.Rather lame defense. Guess he was hoping to have a jury of TDSers.
Lawyers can't make a client take a plea. He rolled he dice and lost. Sometimes you win.His lawyer should be disbarred for putting him thru a jury trial. He could have quartered his sentence if he had plead guilty and cooperated.
And liberate all the coat racks.Fight like hell..
Trial by combat..
Trump should join him in prison.
Smash the windows, doors, shit on the walls and most of all don't allow the certification of Joe Biden..And liberate all the coat racks.
Yea, yea. I was being facetious. As much as I deplore the people that rioted at the capitol, I almost feel sorry for this guy. His lawyer is from Ohio. He must have paid this guy at least 25K for this case, only to be found guilty on all counts. Any decent lawyer would have to see the writing on the wall. He's in DC, FGS, with a DC jury. He should have mounted a better defense or convinced his client to take a plea.Lawyers can't make a client take a plea. He rolled he dice and lost. Sometimes you win.
Matthew Martin becomes first January 6 defendant to be found not guilty on all charges
He was charged with several misdemeanors for entering the Capitol and impeding Congress' work.www.cbsnews.com
Good to see that the full weight and force of the DOJ is working on these cases. I mean, violent and property crime are rising, inflation is through the roof, the border is in crisis, and Ukraine is going up in flames... but by goodness this man's heinous coat rack theft will be punished!Columbus man blaming Trump's 'orders' for riot actions found guilty

Coat rack that was stolen from the seat of our government while the capitol was closed, and he was trespassing during a riot that was interfering with an official proceeding of congress, among other things. Yes, it's great to see the DOJ doing the job we hired them to do.Good to see that the full weight and force of the DOJ is working on these cases.

Given it was a DC jury, it was not completely absurd to gamble for a jury of at least some TDSers that would buy the defense.Yea, yea. I was being facetious.

I dont think you read your own link. The jury rejected his argument and found him guilty. Likely no evidence was provided that showed Trump ordered anyone to do anything at all. Sorry.Columbus man blaming Trump's 'orders' for riot actions found guilty

Considering the guy has most likely been in jail for over a year he will most likely receive a time served sentence.His lawyer should be disbarred for putting him thru a jury trial. He could have quartered his sentence if he had plead guilty and cooperated.

I'm under the impression that they have been mostly denied bail and have to sit in jail until they get their trial.Considering that he's only the third person to go to trial (while 250 have pled guilty) I think it's quite likely he had the money to make bail.
