Capitol defendant who filmed Ashli Babbitt's death pleads guilty to misdemeanor charge
By Jordan Williams - 07/22/21 06:43 PM EDT

A defendant in the Capitol riot who prosecutors say filmed the death of Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6 has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.

Andrew Wyatt Bennett, of Maryland, pleaded guilty on Thursday to one of four charges in connection with the riot, the Justice Department announced.

Bennett pleaded guilty to “parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building,” according to his plea agreement. He faces up to six months in prison, and is set to be sentenced on Oct. 1.

Bennett was arrested on Jan. 26, and was placed on a personal recognizance bond. He is at least the 20th person to plead guilty in connection with the riot, according to CNN.

According to an affidavit filed around the time he was arrested, authorities found four livestreams on Bennett’s Facebook account. In one video, Bennett is apparently heard yelling “no destruction” when someone kicks a door.
