Sovereign Citizen Rioter Found Guilty On All Charges

NBC News reports:

A Jan. 6 rioter who represented himself during a jury trial and advanced sovereign citizen arguments that a federal judge described as “bulls—” and “gobbledygook” was found guilty Tuesday and ordered into government custody.

Taylor James Johnatakis of Washington state was arrested in February 2021 and went to trial starting last week. After just a few hours of deliberation, a jury found Johntakis guilty on Tuesday of felony counts of obstruction of an official proceeding, assaulting officers and civil disorder, as well as four misdemeanor charges.

“I have repented all my sins,” Johnatakis said during the trial, saying he requested that Lamberth “discharge” the matter — a common phrase from sovereign citizens — since, he said, there was no “controversy” before the court.
