The proceeding featured testimony from Capitol Police officer <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/january-6-trial-confederate-flag-capitol-attack-kevin-seefried-2022-6">Eugene Goodman</a>, who was celebrated after January 6 for diverting rioters away from lawmakers who were sheltering in place.Seefried, of Delaware, waived his right to a jury trial to instead have McFadden hear evidence and render a verdict. On the obstruction charge alone, he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, but he is likely to receive a much shorter period of incarceration.The verdict marked the latest trial victory for the <keyword id="11897354" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="justice-department" source="Orion">Justice Department</keyword> in a case stemming from the January 6 attack on the Capitol. In the months since the <keyword id="10554785" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="capitol-siege" source="Orion">Capitol siege</keyword>, the Justice Department has brought more than 800 prosecutions, securing scores of guilty pleas and winning convictions in more than a half-dozen trials.Seefried stood trial alongside his son, Hunter Seefried, who joined him inside the Capitol on January 6. Federal prosecutors presented video footage showing Kevin and Hunter Seefried climbing through a broken window on the Senate side of the Capitol as they joined a group of rioters who were among the first to breach the building.McFadden also found Hunter Seefried guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding, trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds, and disorderly conduct. But the judge acquitted him on charges that he entered the Capitol with physical violence and destroyed property.The judge set Kevin Seefried's sentencing for September 16, Hunter Seefried's for September 23.Prosecutors alleged that Hunter Seefried broke a window. But McFadden said the window was already broken by two other rioters who used a police shield and piece of lumber to breach the Capitol."Here, I think the job already was finished by the time the defendant acted," McFadden said, adding that the shard of glass Hunter Seefried pushed out was "utterly useless" by the time he breached the Capitol.With McFadden, federal prosecutors tried their case before the only judge who has dealt the Justice Department setbacks at trial. In a previous bench trial, McFadden acquitted a New Mexico man on January 6 charges. McFadden previously found a New Mexico county commissioner guilty of trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds but acquitted him of a separate disorderly conduct charge.The Justice Department has otherwise won guilty verdicts on all counts with juries summoned from Washington, DC. Those proceedings have featured vivid video footage and testimony from police officers who defended the Capitol against the pro-Trump mob on January 6. In his testimony Monday, Goodman said he remembered Kevin and Hunter Seefried from the group he encountered inside the Capitol and lured away from senators. Goodman recalled how Kevin Seefried used the base of his flagpole in a "jabbing motion" to create distance between the two of them. Of Hunter Seefried, Goodman said he remembered him having a "smirkish look on his face, like a 'we won' kinda look on his face."Goodman <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/january-6-trial-confederate-flag-capitol-attack-kevin-seefried-2022-6">described</a> the elder Seefried as "very angry," "screaming" and the "complete opposite of pleasant." And he recounted how rioters demanded to know the location of lawmakers as they advanced inside the Capitol.In closing arguments Tuesday, defense lawyers raised questions about the accuracy of Goodman's recollection of January 6. But McFadden on Wednesday credited Goodman's testimony, in which the police officer said he attached his memory of Kevin Seefried to the Confederate flag.McFadden said it was "more likely he would stand out in Officer Goodman's memory" based on the Confederate flag Kevin Seefried "remarkably" carried inside the Capitol on January 6. Defense lawyers also argued that Kevin and Hunter Seefried lacked a sophisticated understanding of the congressional proceeding they came to be accused of obstructing. But McFadden dismissed that argument, as well, noting that Kevin and Hunter were part of a group of rioters who were yelling, "Where are the counting the votes at?"In the immediate aftermath of the Capitol attack, Goodman was hailed for leading the rioters away from lawmakers. A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation to award him the Congressional Gold Medal, the institution's highest civilian honor.Goodman returned to the limelight during Trump's second impeachment trial, which featured video footage of him sprinting toward Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican, to warn him of the angry mob approaching.For Goodman, it was among the most harrowing moments of a day he described as "like something out of medieval times."

Guilty: A man who jabbed at a Capitol police officer with a Confederate flag was convicted on January 6 charges

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A Capitol rioter who toted a Confederate flag on January 6, 2021 was sentenced on Thursday.</li><li>A federal judge sentenced Kevin Seefried to 36 months in prison.</li></ul>A federal judge sentenced Kevin Seefried, a man who infamously toted a Confederate flag around the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, to 36 months in prison on Thursday, slamming Seefried's conduct as "appalling."Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, found Seefried guilty of five charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding, disorderly conduct, illegally parading, and entering restricted Capitol grounds as Congress met to certify President Joe Biden's 2020 win."You participated in a national embarrassment," McFadden told Seefried as he handed down the sentence in federal district court in Washington, DC, adding that his behavior was a "flagrant affront to our system of government."Seefried, a 53-year-old of Delaware, was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guilty-january-6-trial-confederate-flag-capitol-attack-police-seefried-2022-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> last summer along with his son, Hunter Seefried, 24, who also traveled to Washington, DC for then-President Donald Trump's "Save America" rally and unlawfully entered the Capitol on January 6. McFadden <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/delaware-man-sentenced-24-months-prison-actions-related-capitol-breach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sentenced</a> the younger Seefried to 24 months in prison in October.Widely circulated images of Seefried wielding a Confederate flag in the Capitol halls have emerged as some of the most shocking from the January 6 attack. It's been more than two years since the deadly day, and at least 978 people have been <a href="https://www.insider.com/all-the-us-capitol-pro-trump-riot-arrests-charges-names-2021-1">charged</a> in connection to it.Seefried was among the mob that first broke into the building and whom Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman diverted from the Senate chamber, according to prosecutors and witness testimony. Goodman <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/january-6-trial-confederate-flag-capitol-attack-kevin-seefried-2022-6">testified</a> during the June 2022 trial that Seefried refused to comply with orders to "back up" and used "the base of his flag pole in a jabbing motion sort of to create space between he and I.""He was very angry, screaming, talking loudly," Goodman said of Seefried. "The complete opposite of pleasant, if you will."During Thursday's sentencing, McFadden focused on Goodman's encounter with Seefried, saying "threatening" an African American police officer with a Confederate flag was "demeaning," "especially shocking" and "deeply offensive."And even setting aside the flag's racist connotations, McFadden said, brandishing a symbol of Confederate secession at the Capitol was "outrageous." Seefried's case was at the "most egregious end" of January 6 cases that McFadden has sentenced, the judge said.Before the sentence was imposed, Seefried, dressed in a button-down shirt and tie, became emotional as he stood at the podium in the courtroom and apologized for his behavior on January 6."I know that I crossed the line," Seefried said. "I'm deeply sorry for my part on that day."Seefried told the judge that he came to Washington with his son to attend Trump's rally and got "caught up" in the mob. He hadn't intended to engage in criminal activity and never would have done so had he known the consequences, Seefried said."I've lost my son," Seefried said, his voice growing shaky while fighting back tears. Seefried also gave an apology to the police officers who defended the Capitol that day, saying: "I never wanted to send a message of hate." The Justice Department, which has had a string of victories in prosecuting cases related to January 6, had sought a prison sentence of 70 months for Seefried.Seefried's lawyer asked for a 13-month prison sentence, pointing out that his client's case differed from other January 6 rioters who had intentionally sought to obstruct the 2020 electoral certification process. In advocating for a lighter sentence, attorney Eugene Ohm noted Seefried's lack of criminal history or involvement in extremist groups, and claimed that Seefried had mimicked the behavior of the rioters around him at the Capitol.While McFadden extended his appreciation for Seefried's remorse, which he called "genuine," he pushed back on characterizations that Seefried was simply a victim of "mob mentality.""I think you did know what you were doing," McFadden said. After he delivered the sentence, McFadden noted that Seefried was in a "dark period" and offered him some words of encouragement, telling him "not to allow this chapter define the rest of your life.""Good luck to you, sir," McFadden told Seefried as he left the bench.

Judge slams January 6 rioter for 'threatening' a Black cop with a Confederate flag and sentences him to 3 years in prison

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Capitol Police officer <keyword id="12411092" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="eugene-goodman" source="Orion">Eugene Goodman</keyword> said January 6 "looked like something out of medieval times."</li><li>Goodman recalled his run-in with a rioter who carried a Confederate flag inside the Capitol.</li></ul>On January 6, 2021, Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/11/us/politics/eugene-goodman-capitol-riot.html">emerged as a reluctant hero</a> when he faced down a pro-Trump mob and diverted angry rioters from the Senate as they searched for lawmakers.More than a year later, on Monday, Goodman met two accused members of that mob in court as the latest January 6 trial kicked off against Hunter Seefried and his father, Kevin Seefried, a Delaware man who carried a Confederate flag inside the US Capitol.In testimony accompanied by security camera footage, Goodman recalled his encounter with a pro-Trump mob that included not only Kevin and Hunter Seefried but also Jacob Chansley, the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/qanon-shaman-potential-jurors-first-janary-6-trial-guy-reffitt-2022-2">so-called QAnon Shaman</a>, who paraded through the marble halls of the Capitol wearing furs and a horned headdress.Goodman said the mob refused directions to stand down and instead made demands in return, asking for the location of lawmakers and the proceeding where Congress was set to certify then-President-elect Joe Biden's electoral victory over Donald Trump. Recalling the charged scene, Goodman said Kevin Seefried used the base of his flagpole "in a jabbing motion to create space" between the two of them.In the security footage, Goodman identified Kevin Seefried by his tan vest and Confederate flag he carried through the Capitol. "He was very angry. Screaming. Talking loudly," Goodman said. "Complete opposite of pleasant."Goodman said that, in his memory of January 6, he gave Seefried a nickname: Confederate flag. But what most concerned him about Seefried's appearance, Goodman said, was the teardrop tattoo on his face."To my knowledge, in street culture, the teardrop tattoo is synonymous with saying you've killed somebody," Goodman said.Of his son Hunter, Goodman said he wasn't aggressive but had a "smirkish look on his face, like a 'we won' kinda look on his face."Goodman was widely celebrated for his courage and quick thinking to lure rioters away from lawmakers on January 6. In the days after the <keyword id="11910059" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="capitol-attack" source="Orion">Capitol attack</keyword>, lawmakers passed <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lawmakers-seek-top-award-for-hero-police-officer-eugene-goodman-2021-1">bipartisan legislation</a> to <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/trump-impeachment-trial-live-updates/2021/02/12/967520702/senate-unanimously-votes-to-award-officer-eugene-goodman-a-congressional-gold-me">award him</a> one of the highest civilian awards for his efforts to protect Congress. But there was more footage still. During Trump's second impeachment, Democratic lawmakers presented footage that showed Goodman sprinting toward Sen. Mitt Romney to warn the Utah Republican of the angry mob approaching."I don't think my family or my wife understood that I was as close as I might have been to real danger," Romney told reporters in February 2021. "They were surprised and very, very appreciative of Officer Goodman, in his being there and directing me back to safety."<div type="image" title="Kevin Seefried shown carrying the Confederate flag into the Capitol's rotunda on January 6, 2021." height="1353" width="1803" msid="92190309" hostid="261"></div>In court on Monday, prosecutors showed other video footage in which Kevin and Hunter Seefried climbed through a window near the Senate wing door, joining pro-Trump rioters who were among the first to breach the Capitol on January 6. The father and son are facing charges including obstruction of an official proceeding, disorderly conduct, and trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds.Their trial is the eighth connected to the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Both waived their right to a jury trial to instead have a so-called bench trial, in which a judge renders the verdict.Judge Trevor McFadden, the Trump appointee assigned to their case, previously acquitted a New Mexico man on charges he illegally entered the Capitol. The acquittal <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/january-6-trial-police-officer-gas-mask-defense-capitol-attack-2022-4">marked a rare blemish</a> in the Justice Department's prosecutions stemming from January 6.At an earlier bench trial, McFadden found a New Mexico county commissioner guilty of trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds but acquitted him of a separate misdemeanor charge. In other trials with juries, federal prosecutors have won convictions on all charges.The Seefrieds' trial began as the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol held its second public hearing. At the first hearing, on Thursday, the House panel played never-before-seen recordings of closed-door interviews and footage of the violence of January 6.For Goodman, the trial testimony brought back memories of looking out over the pro-Trump mob and being struck by the dueling forces — "one side was police officers, the other side was protestors.""It looked like something out of medieval times," he said.

"We cannot be sure that all relevant evidence has been considered without access to the transcripts that are uniquely within the Select Committee's possession."The department's letter came just days after a split among House January 6 committee members spilled into public view about whether the congressional panel should consider referring Trump or others to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution based on its findings.Thompson told reporters that making such referrals is "not our job." But Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee's Republican vice chair, tweeted that the panel has "not issued a conclusion regarding potential criminal referrals."The Justice Department sent its letter the same day federal prosecutors secured their latest conviction at trial in a January 6 case.
