Fight over officer testimony in Tarrio seditious case unfolds
Legal battle centers on Washington DC police Lt. Shane Lamond who warned about testifying as prosecutors weigh charges against Enrique Tarrio and four co-defendants in the Jan 6 case. Defense argues Lamond’s testimony could vindicate Tarrio by showing intent to avoid violence while prosecutors deny pressuring witnesses. Tarrio, Nordean, Biggs, Rehl, and Pezzola face charges of conspiring to disrupt the transfer of presidential power.
