First, a reminder about this guy from last year:
Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to allow text messages be used in the case against a Marion County man charged in connection with the Capitol riot. FBI agents arrested Kelly Meggs, of Dunnellon, soon after Jan. 6, 2021.
They claim he was the Florida leader of the Oath Keepers group at the time, and he is charged with conspiring with other members of the group to overthrow the government. According to prosecutors, the messages were sent to Meggs’ wife Connie and his son Zack at 7:54 p.m. on Nov. 3, 2020.
“I’m gonna go on a killing spree,” Meggs is reported to have written. “Then 10 seconds later, ‘Pelosi first,’” the court filing reads. Meggs’ attorneys claim the text message were privileged since they were exchanged between a husband and wife.
Read the full article. And here’s the sentence.
