The founder of the 'Cowboys for Trump'' organization and Commissioner of Otero County, New Mexico has been found guilty of entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds on January 6.
He was arrested in the weeks following the attack and held in pretrial detention before his legal team successfully won his court-ordered release. Griffin continually maintained his innocence and argued he was unaware that Pence was still in the area. jury convicted rioter Guy Reffitt on multiple felony counts
Although the trial lasted longer than expected as it entered its second day on Tuesday, McFadden ruled expeditiously in the split verdict. The crowd was chanting"stop the steal" as Struck said Griffin, who is also a pastor, attempted to pray over them and acted non-violently. "We have the defendant's own statements that he knew this area was restricted," prosecutor Janani Iyengar argued in her closing statement on Tuesday, attempting to convince the judge that the case against Griffin is a simple one."The defendant was upset about the election having been certified."
