In the first federal trial related to the Capitol riot, a jury found Guy Reffitt guilty of all five charges. His son, who became a government informant, played a critical role in his conviction.A Texas man who is the first to stand trial in the prosecution of those who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was found guilty Tuesday on all charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding, for his role in disrupting the certification of 2020 presidential election.
In videos presented by the government, Reffitt is seen gesturing to the crowd behind him in what appears to be an attempt to get them to move up the stairs toward multiple entryways that lead into the building. Jackson said that his father, growing concerned about inquiries from the FBI, had warned Jackson and his sister not to be a"traitor" and that"traitors get shot."
DesCamp said the crowd seemed to be"taking cues" from Reffitt as they shouted,"Don't be a traitor! Can't stop us all!""They were not direct threats, I believe they were implied," DesCamp said. In it, Reffitt is heard talking about injuries he said he suffered getting shot by"clay bullets," and being"bear sprayed" by police outside of the Capitol.Jackson Reffitt talks to ABC News about his father, Guy Reffitt, who has been charged for breaching the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
