The former defendant was convicted on January 6, who was arrested after appearing at the home of former President Barack Obama in 2023 on Tuesday, possessing illegal weapons and ammunition.
Taylor Taranto, who was arrested while broadcasting the video near Obama’s home in Washington, was convicted of wrong information and deception of a video that he broadcast a day before he was claiming to be in a “one mission” to bomb the National Institute for Standards and Technology in Gaettersburg, Maryland.
The American boycott judge, Karl Nichols, ruled the case after trying the bench that started last week.
Taranto’s lawyer, Carmen Hernandez, criticized the verdict.
“I think it is a terrible result under a law that has ended and violates the first amendment,” Hernandez told NBC News. “Mr. Taranto is one of the old warriors who were emptied with honor with any previous condemnation, and there is no history of violent behavior. He was convicted of a bad joke without any evidence at all that he intends to do any criminal behavior.”
Taranto had published about the appearance of Obama’s residence on the same day in June 2023, when Trump participated in a screenshot on social media that included what he said was Obama’s speech in Washington. Prosecutors said that Taranto republished what Trump shared, then published it from being outside the house of the former president, where we wrote, “We have made these losers surround!”
Investigators said they found two rifles and hundreds of ammunition rounds in the Taranto car, along with a sickle, when he was arrested. Public prosecutors claimed that Taranto has repeatedly said that he was trying to get a “shot” and that he wanted to get a “good angle in a shot.”
TARANTO was first recognized by Sleuths online as a participant on January 6 in 2021. One of the defendants was about 1500 January who pardoned President Donald Trump on the first day of his second term in his post.
