一名联邦法官周五同意撤销极右翼团体“骄傲男孩”4名成员在2021年1月6日国会大厦骚乱中的定罪。
美国地区法官蒂莫西·凯利批准了司法部撤销对伊桑·诺德安、约瑟夫·比格斯、扎卡里·雷尔和多米尼克·佩佐拉定罪的动议，但他同时指出，特朗普总统对1月6日事件的看法基于“虚构”，同时表示他没有其他手段可以阻止这一动议。
“政府为何要撤销此案，以及撤销是否确实是行政部门的诉求，这几乎没有什么神秘之处，”凯利在其备忘录中写道。“特朗普总统对2021年1月6日袭击美国国会大厦者的起诉所持的观点——无论这些观点基于事实还是虚构——众所周知，他打算通过行政命令对这些人给予宽大处理的意图也同样广为人知。”
2023年，诺德安、比格斯和雷尔因煽动阴谋罪被定罪，均被判处长期监禁。
佩佐拉因视频显示他用防暴盾牌砸碎国会大厦窗户，成为此次未遂叛乱中辨识度较高的面孔之一。他因袭击或抗拒执法人员、抢劫政府财产、妨碍公务及其他罪名被定罪。
司法部当时表示，诺德安和佩佐拉“参与了国会大厦每一次关键性的突破行动”，他们带领一群骄傲男孩成员进入国会大厦场地，导致路障被拆除、国会大厦建筑被闯入、警察遭到袭击以及财产被损毁。

特朗普在2024年1月就职后立即赦免了约1500名因1月6日事件被定罪的人。不过，他当时在公告中为14人减刑，刑期折抵已服刑时间，但保留了他们的定罪记录。比格斯、雷尔、诺德安和佩佐拉均在其中。
今年4月，司法部提出撤销12名前右翼团体“骄傲男孩”和“誓言守护者”成员的定罪，其中大多数人此前因煽动阴谋罪被定罪。
凯利周五的裁决是一项程序性措施，此前美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的一个合议庭已于5月批准撤销定罪，并将案件发回给他。
“如果有关于政府寻求撤销定罪的更详细信息，法院不确定会如何处理，”凯利在裁决中表示。“……除了完全批准这项动议之外，很难看出还有其他任何实际可行的做法。”

Judge vacates convictions of 4 Proud Boys in Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection

By Jacob Rosen Justice Department Reporter
A federal judge on Friday agreed to dismiss the convictions of four members of the far-right Proud Boys group for their actions in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly signed off on the Justice Department’s move to dismiss the convictions against Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola, but not before saying that
President Trump’s views about Jan. 6 are based on “fiction,” while also citing a lack of other levers he could pull to stop the move.
“There is little mystery about why the Government is moving to dismiss this case, or whether dismissal is in fact what the Executive seeks,” Kelly wrote in his memorandum. “President Trump’s views about the prosecution of those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6—whether those views are based on fact or fiction—are well known, as is his intention to extend clemency to them through the Executive Order.”
In 2023, Nordean, Biggs and Rehl were convicted of seditious conspiracy and all sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
Pezzola became one of the more recognizable faces of the attempted insurrection after video showed him smashing a Capitol window with a riot shield. He was convicted of assaulting or resisting officers, robbery involving government property, obstruction and other charges.
The Justice Department said at the time that Nordean and Pezzola “participated in every consequential breach at the Capitol,” leading a group of Proud Boys onto the Capitol grounds, resulting in the dismantling of barricades, breaching of the Capitol building, assaults on police and destruction of property.

Immediately after taking office in January 2024, Mr. Trump pardoned about 1,500 people who had been convicted for their actions on Jan. 6. However, in his proclamation at the time, he commuted the sentences of 14 people to time served, but kept their convictions in place. Biggs, Rehl, Nordean and Pezzola were among them.
In April, the Justice Department moved to vacate the convictions against a dozen former members of the right-wing Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, most of whom were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Kelly’s ruling Friday was a procedural measure after a panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia signed off on the dismissal of the convictions in May, and sent the case back down to him.
“It is unclear what the Court would do with more detailed information about the Government’s reasons for seeking to dismiss,” Kelly said in his decision. “… It is hard to see how any course other than granting the motion in full could make practical sense.”
