DDC COURTHOUSE,
March 29 –
In a high profile January 6
case, US v. Tarrio,
Pezzola,
Nordean, Rehl
and Biggs,
the conditions in jail and of
discovery came into focus on
May 2, 2022. Inner City Press
live tweeted here.
On March 29,
2023, Inner City Press was in
the DDC courthouse when FBI
Confidential Human Source
"Aaron" was being
cross-examined by the
prosecutors. Live tweeted
thread here:
[Video is entered
into evidence and shown]
Assistant US
Attorney: Do you see Billy
there in front, Billy
Pressman?
FBI CHS Witness
"Aaron": I'm not sure. AUSA:
Here? Scrambling over the snow
fencing? Witness: Yes that's
him.
AUSA: There were
hundreds of people coming
behind you, correct? Witness:
Yes.
[Video shows
crowd approaching Capitol]
AUSA: That's you
marching? Witness: Walking.
AUSA: Let's go to 4:22,
please, just for the witness.
Apologies to Ms. Harris.
AUSA: Play it
without the sound... You are
walking with some purpose,
aren't you? Witness: I
wouldn't call it purpose. That
vest is heavy too.
AUSA: You
felt powerful, like on
December 12, with all those
Proud Boys with you? Witness:
Those weren't my thoughts
[The video has a
watermark "ABQ RAW"]
WItness: I'm a
little unclear -- AUSA: You're
under cross examination. I'll
ask the questions. Do you see
people throwing barricades?
Witness: Yes. AUSA: Do you see
the man with the American flag
bandana? Witness: No.
ASUA: You
see this fellow on the right
with the orange tape - what's
that? Witness: It was to
signify that we were one of
the non aggressors. We thought
Antifa would infiltrate.
AUSA: Regarding
that black fence, you
volunteered to the FBI you
grabbed it?
Defense: Objection!
Judge Timothy
Kelly: Overruled. Witness: I
told them I pulled the
barricade back the way it had
been
AUSA: You
were not trying to
de-escalate, were you?
Witness: I thought it wouldn't
go any further. AUSA: That's
you, pumping your fist?
Witness: It was like a circus.
Judge Kelly
has declared the lunch break.
Inner City Press is heading to
other DDC trials and cases- US
v Pras Michel is bogged down
in jury selection...
Earlier, Aaron
was asked about a selfie he
took with Tarrio and said, he
was a public figure, like a
movie star, that he'd have
taken a selfie with Jeffrey
Dahmer, too.
Inner City Press
will continue to cover these
cases.
