ATLANTA — In the nearly two years since a mob of angry Trump supporters overran and ransacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, authorities have arrested and charged nearly 900 people with various crimes ranging from illegal protesting to seditious conspiracy against the federal government.
The defendants have come from every corner of the nation, but a relative few — only 23 — have ties to Georgia. Sixteen of those have pleaded guilty, and most have already received their punishment in sentences ranging from probation to years in prison.
Of those remaining Georgia defendants, four appear to be headed to federal trial in 2023, and that group includes some of the more high-profile people accused in the sweeping investigation. They include a mother-son duo, a practicing attorney and the defendant believed to be the youngest person charged in the riot.
