Hale-Cusanelli's trial unfolded before Judge Trevor N. McFadden, a Trump-appointed judge who acquitted another Jan. 6 defendant during a non-jury trial.
McFadden said Friday after the jury's verdict that he was open to giving Hale-Cusanelli a sentencing enhancement because he found the defendant's testimony "highly dubious.” Sentencing is set for Sept. 16. McFadden was the judge who ordered Hale-Cusanelli held until trial, in part based on evidence the prosecution provided illustrating racist comments he made. According to prosecutors, at least 34 of Hale-Cusanelli's colleagues told them that he held "extremist or radical views pertaining to the Jewish people, minorities, and women." A Navy petty officer claimed Hale-Cusanelli once said that "Hitler should have finished the job," prosecutors said. Prosecutors also discovered evidence on Hale-Cusanelli's phone they said shows he has Nazi sympathies and white supremacist views. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jan-6-defendant-posed-hitler-tells-jurors-idiot-didnt-know-congress-me-rcna30743 Typical Natural-Rights Liberal - Argentine variety - from the sound of it.
