WASHINGTON, March 20 (Reuters) - Four associates of the far-right Oath Keepers group were found guilty on Monday for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, but the Washington jury remained deadlocked on some serious charges for two other defendants who did not enter the building during the chaos.
Michael Greene and Bennie Parker, the two who did not enter the Capitol building, were acquitted on the most serious felonies charges, though the jury remained deadlocked on one outstanding felony count for each man.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta instructed the jury to go back and continue to deliberate on the two remaining counts.
Greene and Bennie Parker were found guilty, however, on lesser misdemeanor charges of entering a restricted building or grounds.
Then-president Trump, a Republican, fired up the crowd on Jan. 6 with false claims that his defeat was the result of widespread fraud.
