Six Oath Keeper associates convicted on Jan. 6 charges
Julia Mueller
A Washington, D.C., jury on Tuesday found six associates of the far-right group Oath Keeper guilty on charges connected to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Four of the associates — Sandra Parker, of Morrow, Ohio; Laura Steele, of Thomasville, N.C.; William Isaacs, of Kissimmee, Fla., and Connie Meggs, of Dunnellon, Fla. — were found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, which can carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, and other felony charges.
Two others — Michael Greene, of Indianapolis and Bennie Parker, the husband of Sandra Parker — were acquitted on some charges — but the jury is still deliberating on another outstanding felony charge for each.
All six associates were convicted of a misdemeanor related to entering the restricted grounds of the Capitol.
The new convictions are the latest in a number against Oath Keeper associates in connection with the Jan. 6 attacks as the Justice Department goes after those who participated in breaching the Capitol grounds and building.
