Donovan Ray Crowl, one of the first Jan. 6 rioters to be identified in national news media, has been convicted by a federal judge. But a second man, James D. Beeks, was acquitted, becoming the first Oath Keeper to be cleared of all Jan. 6-related charges.
Instead, both the government and the defense merely provided closing arguments Tuesday based on the stipulated facts, which they negotiated on Monday.Both Crowl and Beeks were part of a group of 12 who marched up the east steps of the Capitol, in what prosecutors referred to as a “stack,” to the cheers and support of rioters who already had broken through police lines and were besieging the Columbus doors outside the Rotunda.
Beeks did not engage by phone, text or Facebook with Oath Keepers before seeking them out on Jan. 6, and was recorded only once on camera in the government’s evidence that day saying “he was there to keep the peace. That’s the only thing we know he says,” his defense attorney Greg Hunter said. Hunter called Beeks an “almost tangential figure — a hanger-on, a wannabe — but not a trusted member” of the core Oath Keepers group.
The Post obtained hours of video footage, some exclusively, and placed it within a digital 3-D model of the building.
