Titusville Man Acquitted Of Most Serious Charges

A Titusville man was acquitted yesterday, of charges connected to the incident that took place back on January 6, 2021 at the US Capitol. Kenneth Harrelson was acquitted in federal court on Tuesday, of seditious conspiracy. Instead, the jury found Harrelson and four others, all guilty of obstructing an official proceeding of Congress. The verdict was a big victory for Harrelson, as a conviction of seditious conspiracy could have meant a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. In addition to obstruction, Harrelson also was convicted of conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging duties, and aiding and abetting the tampering with proceedings. He was found not guilty however, of other charges too, including conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and destruction of property.
