Grand jury indicts St. Louis couple who pointed guns at protesters
The Hill, Oct 6, 2020

A grand jury in St. Louis on Tuesday indicted Mark and Patricia McCloskey on counts of exhibiting a weapon and tampering with evidence four months after footage circulated showing the couple pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their home.

The couple's attorney, Joel Schwartz, said the grand jury reached the decision after the McCloskeys appeared before a judge earlier in the day, NBC affiliate KSDK reported.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner had issued felony charges against the couple in June for unlawful use of a weapon. The grand jury added the tampering-with-evidence charge on Tuesday.

In the now-viral videos from the June incident, the couple can be seen standing outside their home, each holding a firearm — Mark McCloskey with an AR-15 rifle and Patricia McCloskey with a handgun.

The article doesn't say what evidence was "tampered" with.

They face losing their law licenses and four years in prison, each.

The Soros based prosecutor is sending a message to Americans to submit .... and forget your Constitutionally-guaranteed rights.

Anyone still on the fence about voting straight Republican --- from head to toe --- in November?

My understanding is that when they turned her pistol over to the police it had been rendered inoperable.   Part of their defense is that they couldn't have harmed anyone since their guns weren't capable of firing.  The prosecution apparently maintains that they made the change after the incident but before they turned the weapons over to the authorities.
