PJ Media: Supreme Court Considering a Case That Might Upend Hundreds of January 6 Prosecutions
In high-profile cases, prosecutors often add multiple charges to scare defendants into pleading guilty. However, the danger is that a judge may reject unnecessary charges. This is the case in the January 6 prosecutions, where a judge dismissed obstruction charges for Edward Lang and two others. Lang argues that the statute being used does not fit the violence that occurred during the riot. Lang has petitioned the Supreme Court to rein in prosecutorial overreach, warning of the chilling effect on political speech. The Court must decide if prosecutors went too far in their legal argument. For some rioters, this could mean the difference between prison and freedom.
