Kevin Seefried And Hunter Seefried, Who Are Accused of the Jan.6 Riot head to trial
The acquittal of a New Mexico man by a federal judge in April was a rare blot on the Justice Department’s record of getting convictions in riot cases in the United States Capitol. A Delaware father and son are hoping the same judge would free them as well, more than two months later.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden will hear testimony without a jury in the Seefried bench trial, which is expected to begin on Monday. They waived their right to a jury trial, so their cases will be decided by McFadden
So far, McFadden is the only judge to hold a bench trial in a matter involving the Capital riots.
According to 6abc.com, defense attorneys argued during the trial’s opening comments that the Seefried’s had no intention of interfering with the Electoral College vote total. Indeed, one of Kevin’s lawyers, Elizabeth Mullin, informed the judge that “Kevin was not even aware that the electoral count was underway in the Capitol.”
A felony count of obstruction of official action, the joint session of Congress for recognizing President Joe Biden’s electoral victory, has been filed against both Kevin and Hunter Seefried.
