Prosecutors in the case against Doug Jensen, one of the first to breach the Capitol walls on Jan. 6, 2021, painted the Des Moines man as laser-focused on one goal: Disrupting the peaceful transfer of power from then-President Donald Trump to Joe Biden.
"This is not a 'whodunnit' case," defense attorney Christopher Davis said in his opening remarks, referencing the many pictures and videos that show Jensen inside the Capitol that day.The prosecution and defense in Capitol rioter Jensen's federal trial on Tuesday evening gave their opening remarks, following two full days of jury deliberations.
The videos and images of Jensen at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, many of which were shown Tuesday, are at the heart of the prosecution's case in one of the most high-profile cases related to the assault. Allen emphasized that Jensen was one of the first 10 rioters to breach the Capitol. After being escorted out once, he waited at a broken window for another opportunity to slip back in, she said. Jensen did not leave the Capitol until being physically escorted out a second time, Allen said.The prosecution said that it plans to call seven witnesses, four of whom faced off with Jensen in the halls of the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.
Davis, Jensen's attorney, directed the jury toward Jensen's Jan. 6 apparel, a beanie and black t-shirt with a large"Q" on it, in homage to the conspiracist movement QAnon.
