U.S. Capitol riot defendant from Pittsfield asks judge to dismiss case

 

TROY E. SARGENT, PITTSFIELD CAPITOL RIOTER

excerpt:

A Pittsfield man accused of tussling with police officers during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot wants his case dismissed on grounds that the government’s case lacks facts.

Troy E. Sargent’s lawyers filed motions Thursday, asking a judge to dismiss six counts the government has filed against him.

Defense attorneys Joshua Hanye and Wade Zolynski call the federal indictment charging Sargent “invalid.” Prosecutors failed to detail how Sargent allegedly violated federal law, in violation of the Constitution and the rules of criminal procedure, the lawyers said in court documents filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.
