In the run-up to President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s second term, two federal courts decided on January 6 to postpone criminal prosecutions for a number of people accused of trespassing on the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

On January 6, two federal courts decided to postpone criminal hearings for several people accused of trespassing on the U.S. Capitol due to President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s impending second term.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The proceedings will wait until after Trump\u2019s inauguration, according to circuit court justices Carl Nichols and Rudolph Contreras, who were both appointed by Trump and Obama, respectively. The judges reasoned that if Trump takes over as president and head of the Department of Justice, he might cancel the cases and pardon individuals who were convicted.<\/p>\n

Judges have now accepted the pleas of Jan. 6 defendants to postpone their cases in anticipation of possible Trump pardons for the first time, Fox News reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Contreras said it would be a waste to summon a jury and use taxpayer funds when there is a \u201creal possibility\u201d of a Trump pardon. He postponed the trial scheduled for defendant William Pope until late February.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m focused on conservation of the resources of the parties, the court, and citizens,\u201d Contreras said.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s June decision has already resulted in Pope\u2019s felony obstruction charge being withdrawn. He is currently facing minor charges. December was the date of his trial.<\/p>\n

Nichols postponed the trials of three further individuals accused with minor trespassing on January 6. After asking federal prosecutors if they anticipated the trial would proceed under the Trump administration, he made the decision. Prosecutors were unable to provide a guarantee, so Nichols decided to postpone the trial until April.<\/p>\n

Marina Medvin, an attorney representing two of the defendants in Nichols\u2019 court, said that \u201cas soon as the prosecutor asked for a trial date, Judge Nichols confronted her on whether she could assure the court that this matter would be moving forward to trial once the new administration takes office.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
