A federal judge in Washington, D.C., convicted a 35-year-old Tennessee man for breaking into the U.S. Capitol and assaulting police officers during the Jan. 6 attack, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

Edward Kelley was found guilty of three felonies, including civil disorder, one count of destruction of government property in an amount over $1,000 and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.

The judge also convicted him of eight misdemeanors. In addition, Kelley is facing Tennessee charges in an alleged plot to kill the FBI agents investigating him for his role in the Capitol riot. He’ll be sentenced on April 7.

During Jan. 6, Kelley donned tactical gear — including a helmet, gas mask, gloves and glasses — and was among a group of rioters who confronted Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman. They started yelling at him, demanding to know “where are they counting the votes?” Kelley and co. then chased Goodman up a flight of stairs as the officer attempted to steer them away from the Senate chamber as it was being evacuated. Goodman was hailed as a hero and awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

In my eyes, he was the one who could've broke down the wall and effected change.

So glad to see him convicted.

Goodman deserved his accolades. And this guy deserves the biggest sentence.

sentenced now? Well I guess the 2-3 month incarceration until he's pardoned will really mend him.
