Judge Kelly Dismisses Proud Boys Seditious Conspiracy Convictions

Judge Timothy J. Kelly finalized the dismissal of seditious conspiracy convictions for four Proud Boys leaders. The decision followed a Justice Department request after Trump issued presidential clemency for the defendants. Kelly expressed reluctance in granting the motion while acknowledging executive authority over prosecutions. The judge also issued a warning about the implications of these pardons. This ruling ends the legal proceedings against the group for the January 6 Capitol attack.
