Proud Boys Convictions Dismissed | US News
Description
A federal judge just dropped the criminal charges against four Proud Boys members convicted in the January 6 Capitol riot — a move driven by President Trump’s clemency order, not judicial agreement. Judge Kelly, while acknowledging the attack’s gravity and the need to defend constitutional order, sided with the Justice Department’s request to dismiss cases now that sentences were already commuted. The ruling, though symbolic, closes one of the most high-profile prosecutions. Dominic Pezzola, convicted for breaking a Capitol window with a stolen riot shield, and former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, now vow to pursue civil action against the Justice Department.
