In this Majority Report clip, we discuss how first six defendants in the J20 protest case were acquitted of all charges after being arrested for protesting Donald Trump's inauguration. During the inauguration protests, authorities rounded up more than 200 people and charged each of them for a small amount of property damage committed by a few people.
With the acquittal, this is a huge with for the defendants' decision to fight the charges in solidarity as a group. Instead of taking individual plea bargains, and therefore acknowledging guilt, the J20 group has stood together and maintained their innocence in the face of what is a dubious charge from the federal government.
