| ‘A Very Big Deal’: Attorney Responds to Judge Dismissing Felony Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Defendant |
| 2022-03-11 |
| [EpochTimes] A federal judge has thrown out a felony obstruction charge leveled against a Jan. 6 defendant, saying the man’s alleged conduct doesn’t fall under the statute used by prosecutors in dozens of cases related to the 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol. U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols dismissed one of the 12 counts against defendant Garret A. Miller, 35, of Richardson, Texas. In a 29-page ruling (pdf) on March 7, Nichols, a Trump nominee, wrote that the federal indictment of Miller doesn’t allege the kind of conduct covered by 18 § U.S.C. 1512(c)(2), which relates to the destruction of records or documents—not the attempt to prevent the counting of presidential electors by Congress. |
