美国联邦地区法院法官蒂莫西·凯利(Timothy Kelly)驳回了针对极右翼组织“骄傲男孩”成员煽动叛乱阴谋案的剩余部分 [1]。该裁决是在唐纳德·特朗普总统去年行使特赦权、撤销所有 1 月 6 日国会山骚乱案件起诉的背景下作出的 [1]。
尽管特朗普的特赦覆盖了前全国主席恩里克·特里奥(Enrique Tarrio),但其他四名成员——伊桑·诺德安、约瑟夫·比格斯、扎卡里·雷尔和多米尼克·佩佐拉——仅获得了减刑而非全面赦免 [1]。法官指出,这一裁决不应被误解为对司法部放弃案件的认可 [1]。
在裁定中,凯利重申了 1 月 6 日事件对美国宪法权力和平交接构成的威胁 [1]。
A federal district judge has dismissed the remaining portions of a sedition conspiracy case against members of the far-right group Proud Boys following President Donald Trump's exercise of his pardon power. [1] U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly ruled to dismiss the charges, noting that this decision aligns with President Trump's broader initiative last year to revoke all prosecutions related to January 6 Capitol riots cases. [1] While the ruling covers former national chairman Enrique Tarrio under a full presidential pardon, it does not extend complete immunity to four other members—Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola—who received sentence reductions rather than full pardons. [1] Judge Kelly emphasized that his dismissal should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the Department of Justice's decision to drop the cases or a repudiation of the events themselves. [1] The judge reiterated in his ruling that the January 6 insurrection posed a threat to the peaceful transfer of constitutional power. [1]
