A Milton, Georgia, man who made his way to the Senate floor during the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot faces a potentially lengthy prison sentence after a federal judge found him guilty of two felonies in a verdict delivered Friday in Washington, D.C.
U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss found Bruno Cua guilty of assaulting a Capitol police officer and obstruction of an official proceeding. The 20-year-old Cua faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced in May.
Moss handed down the verdicts following an abbreviated bench trial held Feb. 13 which rested largely on a disagreement between the prosecution and the defense on what constituted an assault.
