Capitol riot cases 40% of D.C. court calendar

The nearly 900 Capitol insurrection-related arrests moving their way through the court system make up an average of 40 percent of all appearances on the District of Columbia District Court calendar each week.

While many defendants have taken plea deals, about half are still making their way through the court system. In an Oct. 6 statement, the Justice Department said that 412 people had pleaded guilty to Jan. 6-related crimes and 26 had been found guilty at trial.
