Four Proud Boys were found guilty Thursday of seditious conspiracy for their role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol, following four months of court proceedings.
Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio and members Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean and Zachary Rehl were each found guilty Thursday of seditious conspiracy, though the jury failed to reach a verdict on the charge against Dominic Pezzola.
All four could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors argued Tarrio organized and directed an attack on the Capitol by members of the organization, citing messages between the defendants that indicated the group would keep former President Donald Trump in power “by any means necessary including force.”
