SCOTUS rejects Infowars host 1st Amendment petition over Jan 6 conviction
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/0...ition-00161250
Supreme Court won’t hear InfoWars host’s First Amendment challenge to Jan. 6 conviction
Owen Shroyer was charged with misdemeanors for what prosecutors said were his efforts to inflame the crowd at the Capitol.
The Supreme Court has rejected a petition from Owen Shroyer — an InfoWars host who traversed Capitol grounds with broadcaster Alex Jones amid the riot on Jan. 6, 2021 — seeking to overturn his misdemeanor guilty plea on First Amendment grounds.
Shroyer accompanied Jones throughout the day on Jan. 6, helping lead the march from President Donald Trump’s rally to the Capitol while stoking the fury of thousands of Trump supporters who had just attended his “stop the steal” rally.
Shroyer, unlike Jones, was charged with misdemeanors for what prosecutors said were his efforts to inflame the crowd, using a bullhorn, at the foot of the Capitol.
Though Shroyer had claimed he was working with Jones to help calm the seething mob — and Jones was captured on video calling for calm and asking police officers for permission to address rioters to steer them away from the Capitol — prosecutors said Shroyer deviated from that path when he ascended the Capitol steps and exhorted the crowd with a chant of “1776.” Jones’ group, prosecutors noted, also ignored officers’ exhortations to leave Capitol grounds altogether.
The justices turned down Shroyer’s case in a routine list of orders issued Monday morning. No justice signaled any dissent from the decision or commented on its rationale.
Shroyer pleaded guilty last year to trespassing on Capitol grounds and was sentenced to 60 days in prison by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee.
Shroyer quickly vowed to appeal the sentence all the way to the Supreme Court, saying he had become a “martyr for free speech.” Shroyer’s attorney Robert Barnes did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
