SC man gets 60 days to decide whether to face trial on Capitol riot charges or plead guilty

[TexasTowelie]

A lawyer for an Anderson County man who faces charges of interfering with a police officer during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot on Wednesday received two additional months to study prosecution evidence.

The man, George Tenney III, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, is now slated to appear on March 29 by remote video linkup before U.S. Judge Thomas Hogan.

On that date, Tenney will likely announce a decision to plead guilty or stand trial on multiple charges connected with the storming of the Capitol.

Hogan presided over a 10-minute hearing Wednesday called to determine the trial status of Tenney and a Texas man, Darrell Alan Youngers.

Tenney and Youngers, who are co-defendants in the case, were in the Capitol together on Jan. 6, 2021, at the time a mob stormed the building, causing Congress to flee, according to a 30-page federal complaint.
