Former Virginia police officer who stormed US Capitol found guilty on all charges

[TexasTowelie]

(CNN) -- A jury in Washington, DC, on Monday found an ex-Virginia police officer guilty on all six charges he faced for his actions around the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.

Thomas Robertson, a former sergeant of the Rocky Mount police in Virginia, faced charges including impeding law enforcement officers, obstructing an official proceeding, entering and remaining in restricted grounds and tampering with evidence.

The jury heard from multiple witness during the trial last week, including Washington police officers who were there during the attack, federal agents and Robertson's former police colleague and co-defendant who testified as part of a plea deal with the government.

One juror told CNN that "there was debate on every charge" while the jury deliberated for around 13 hours.

1. This is part of the insanity on the right...

A politically motivated police officer, that has no respect for other law enforcement, namely the Capital hill police!
Shame on Thomas Robertson!

Thomas Robertson is a disgrace to the good men and women in uniform, who serve to protect the people!

2. Must be fake news,

I am told by many here that we shouldn't bother prosecuting Trump because we will never get a fair jury to convict him.

3. Now give him his 30 day probation and send him on his way.

4. Exactly, what will be the penalty?

6. Not enough, for assisting an attempted insurrection.

5. About right... He is not convicted of property destruction or assault or battery.

10 days or probation would match the other sentences.
