United States v. David Mehaffie: Acquittal of Count 34– 1512(c)(2): Obstructing a Proceeding of Congress
September 18, 2022 facebook twitter
Attorney William Shipley with the support of Ryan Marshall represented David Mehaffie at his trial before United States District Judge Trevor McFadden, which began August 29, 2022.
Mr. Mehaffie was charged with "aiding and abetting" assaults by others on federal law enforcement officers, corruptly obstructing a Congressional proceeding, civil disorder, and two misdemeanors for being unlawfully inside the Capitol.
After five days of testimony, including more than four hours of testimony by David Mehaffie himself, the Judge entered a verdict of "Not Guilty" on the count of corruptly obstructing Congress, but guilty on all the remaining counts. This is the first "Not Guilty" verdict obtained at trial on a felony charge in all the January 6 cases brought by the government.
As to the remaining four counts, the Judge expressly found that David Mehaffie did not "aid and abet" anyone with regard to assaults committed against federal law enforcement officers. But the statute under which he was charged covers conduct much broader than "assault" – it also covers conduct that obstructs, impedes, interfers with, etc., federal law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties. The Judge found that Mr. Mehaffie's conduct did "aid and abet" others in their efforts to obstruct, impede, etc., federal law enforcement officers as they attempted to prevent protesters from entering the Capitol.
The "obstructing Congress" count, with a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years, was the most serious charge David Mehaffie was facing, and the acquittal on that charge makes his potential exposure at sentencing much less severe.
Sentencing is set for January 26, 2023. Much work remains to be done in that regard, and any contributions towards the costs of defending David Mehaffie are greatly appreciated by David and his family."

Where is John Pierce?
According to reports, Pierce was representing 17 defendants who have been charged over the insurrection on Capitol Hill. Those defendants include members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, who are all currently being prosecuted in court. However, those cases have come to a standstill, due to Pierce's strange absence. It's unclear what happened to him, as the DoJ noted in an August 30 filing to the court. There are several conflicting reports, including claims made by his associate Ryan Marshall.
On August 24, Marshall came to court and said Pierce was absent "due to a conflict". A few hours later, he claimed "Mr. Pierce had been in an accident and was on his way to the hospital." The next day, in another court session he claimed Pierce was "was hospitalized with COVID19, on a ventilator, and non-responsive." A short while later, another person told NPR that Pierce was "hospitalized on Monday due to symptoms that he believed might be related to Covid-19," including dehydration and exhaustion. On August 26, at another hearing Marshall conceded he had not directly heard from Pierce, but rather a friend of his told him that he was sick with Covid-19. Later that evening, an NPR journalist reported that Pierce's colleague denied he was on a ventilator, but conceded he was hospitalized.
NEW:
A colleague of John Pierce's at his group, NCLU, sent me a statement that Pierce did not, in fact, have COVID-19.
Instead, he "appears to have been suffering from dehydration and exhaustion" and remains under medical care. https://t.co/eYtznT4sD5 pic.twitter.com/2VvFtx00YX

Lawyer Representing 17 Jan. 6 Defendants Has Mysteriously Gone Missing: Court Filings
An attorney who is representing 17 accused Jan. 6 Capitol breach defendants has disappeared, possibly suffering from COVID-19, according to a court filing on Monday.
Acting U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips said in a court document (pdf) that nearly 20 cases related to the Jan. 6 incident are not proceeding after John Pierce, the lawyer, went missing.
Pierce, according to the court filing, is "reportedly ill with COVID-19, on a ventilator, and unresponsive." Pierce's law firm associate, Ryan Marshall-who is not a licensed attorney-has been appearing in Pierce's place at court hearings and proceedings. Marshall also was the one who revealed Pierce's alleged hospitalization and condition, said the filing.
The lawyer, who generally posts on Twitter several times per day, has not posted since Aug. 20.
"Because Mr. Pierce is unavailable and Mr. Marshall cannot ethically or legally represent Mr. Pierce's clients," Phillips said, "the government is making the Court aware of Mr. Pierce's reported illness so that it can take any steps it believes necessary to ensure the defendant's rights are adequately protected while Mr. Pierce remains hospitalized."
But later in the court filing, the U.S. attorney's office said it obtained "conflicting information about Mr. Pierce's health and whereabouts."
When it was revealed publicly that Pierce was hospitalized with COVID-19, a report from NPR, citing unnamed sources, said that he may have been suffering from dehydration, exhaustion, and is believed to have symptoms related to COVID-19.
And a colleague of Pierce, Brody Womack, told Business Insider that Pierce "appears to have been suffering from dehydration and exhaustion in relation to his tireless work on behalf of his clients, including the many defendants he represents in connection with the January 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol."
On Aug. 26, Marshall appeared in place of Pierce, telling a U.S. attorney's assistant that he hasn't had any contact with Pierce and adding that one of his friends "had told him that Mr. Pierce was sick with COVID-19 and another had said he was not," the filing said.
"From the government's perspective," said Phillips' office, "given Mr. Pierce's reported illness and the fact that Mr. Marshall is not a licensed attorney, this case is effectively at a standstill."
Even though Marshall "has been the government's main or sole point of contact for many of the defendants represented by Mr. Pierce, the government does not believe it appropriate to continue to communicate with him in Mr. Pierce's absence, during which he would necessarily be acting without supervision by a licensed attorney," the court document said.
Some of Pierce's clients said they are starting to become concerned.
Paul Rae, an alleged Proud Boy from Florida who has pleaded not guilty, told ABC News on Monday that he is "a bit concerned" about the lawyer's health and the overall situation regarding his representation. An associate of Pierce, Rae said, told him that the attorney isn't on a ventilator and is recovering.
"Unless I'm being lied to, I'm hearing 'Don't be concerned,'" Rae told the network. "I don't know what's going on."
The Epoch Times contacted Pierce's office for comment. When reached for comment via telephone, the phone lines for his law firm appeared to be disconnected.

They say the Ex Rittenhouse Lawyer is on a Ventilator
John Pierce, an anti-vaccination advocate and lawyer representing people arrested for allegedly participating in the January 6 Capitol riots, has contracted COVID-19 and is reportedly on a ventilator.
When Pierce failed to appear at a Wednesday court hearing for Capitol riot suspect Shane Jenkins, his colleague Ryan Marshall told the judge, "Mr. Pierce is in the hospital, we believe, with COVID-19, on a ventilator, non-responsive," The Independent reported.

If he dies, the lefties will dance and party like we've never seen before. It'll be like 3 victories with one stone for them. A right-winged death, Rittenhouse sympathizer, and anti vaxxer. Regardles of politics, may God protect him.

Lawyer Representing 17 Jan. 6 Defendants Has Mysteriously Gone Missing: Court Filings
Court filings say John Pierce hospitalized with COVID-19, while others say he's suffering from another condition.
