3 suspects charged in Kansas murder investigation

PYATT, Ark. (AP) — Federal and state wildlife authorities are asking for the public's help in catching whoever might be responsible for the deaths of four bald eagles in Arkansas' Marion County earlier this year.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last month put up a $5,000 reward for tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of those who killed the federally protected birds discovered Feb. 13 near Pyatt, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/may/04/investigation-into-the-killing-of-four-bald/?news-arkansas%20(news-arkansas)">reported.</a>

A joint investigation by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined that the birds were shot between mid-January and mid-February. In addition to the eagles, authorities found red-tailed hawks, a domestic dog and white-tailed deer in the vicinity that had also been shot and killed.

“There’s, I think, evidence that somebody probably shot (the birds) from the road, but I don’t even know that they’re 100% certain of that,” said Rob Finley, the Arkansas Game and Fish commissioner for the area where the eagles were killed. “I know that they did set up a little bit of an operation to see if ... the people ever came back, but never did.”

Finley said that is when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service took the lead on the investigation.

Bald eagles are federally protected and if killed, violators could face up to a $250,000 fine and up to two years in federal prison if convicted. While protected, bald eagles are no longer considered endangered. They were removed from the endangered list in 2007.

“The bald eagles do migrate in and out of the state quite a bit now,” Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesperson Randy Zellers said. “We do have nesting bald eagles in the state. But we (also) see an influx of bald eagles every winter, primarily with the waterfowl migration. When the waterfowl come south, a lot of eagles will follow them down (to prey on).”

Anyone with information about the bald eagles killed in Marion County should contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at (501) 513-4470 or the Arkansas Game &amp; Fish Commission at (833) 356-0824.

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-coronation-live-updates-d0566e3fa36e01e67e642061d3f9014e">was crowned</a>&nbsp;Saturday at Westminster Abbey, in a ceremony built on ancient traditions at a time when the British monarchy faces an uncertain future.

Trumpets sounded inside the medieval abbey and the congregation shouted “God save King Charles” as the ceremony began in front of more than 2,000 guests, including world leaders, aristocrats and celebrities. Outside, thousands of troops, tens of thousands of spectators and a smattering of protesters converged along a route that the king traveled from Buckingham Palace in a gilt-trimmed, horse-drawn carriage.

It was the final mile of a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-coronation-charles-camilla-a799d9bc8baf93778aff362fcde0c80d">seven-decade journey</a>&nbsp;for Charles from heir to monarch.

To the royal family and government, the occasion — code-named Operation Golden Orb — is a display of heritage, tradition and spectacle unmatched around the world.

The rite was expected to by watched by millions, though the awe and reverence the ceremony was designed to evoke are largely gone — and many greeted the day with apathy.

Some even met it with disdain. Republican protesters gathered outside to holler “&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-coronation-opponents-republican-protest-6aab62a8c337568386914e6374a709be">Not my king</a>&nbsp;” for a celebration of an institution they say stands for privilege and inequality, in a country of deepening poverty and fraying social ties. A handful were arrested.

As guests arrived, the church buzzed with excitement and was abloom with fragrant flowers and colorful hats. Among them were U.S. First Lady Jill Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, eight current and former British prime ministers as well as Judi Dench, Emma Thompson and Lionel Richie.

Thousands of people from across the U.K. and around the world camped overnight along a 1.3-mile (2-kilometer) route that the king and his wife, Camilla, traveled to reach the abbey.

At a traditional Anglican service slightly tweaked for modern times, Charles, clad in crimson and cream robes, swore on a Bible that he is a “true Protestant.”

But for the first time, a preface was added to the coronation oath to say the Church of England “will seek to foster an environment where people of all faiths and beliefs may live freely," and the epistle from the King James Bible was read by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Britain's first Hindu leader.

A gospel choir performed a newly composed “Alleluia,” and, for the first time, female clergy took part in the ceremony.

For 1,000 years and more, British monarchs&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-iii-coronation-britain-crown-monarchy-d0f34a0b5489f673844c7d1c8135db86">have been crowned in grandiose ceremonies</a>&nbsp;that confirm their right to rule.

These days, the king no longer has executive or political power, and the service is purely ceremonial since Charles automatically became king upon&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/b2578aa91c3fef9c5d6ad4a557bf63e4">death of his mother</a>, Queen Elizabeth II, in September.

The king remains the U.K.’s head of state and a symbol of national identity — and Charles will have to work to unite a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/uk-coronation-diversity-racism-d32740c5a8844ada2d12cd8d8ca1c3ab">multicultural nation</a>&nbsp;and keep the monarchy relevant at at time when support for it is waning, especially among younger people.

The anti-monarchy group Republic said six of its members, including its chief executive, were arrested as they arrived at a protest. Police have said they will have have a “low tolerance” for people seeking to disrupt the day, sparking criticism that they are clamping down on free speech.

<a href="https://apnews.com/article/inflation-uk-cost-of-living-crisis-4dd114614a9f5c9645d04f5aac8ce2e2">A cost-of-living crisis</a>&nbsp;is also making everyone in the U.K. poorer, raising questions about the cost of all the pomp.

Charles has sought to lead a smaller, less expensive royal machine for the 21st century. So this will be a shorter affair than&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/7c2cf637844ccc0e018ee45e5ac8b44f">Elizabeth's three-hour coronation</a>.

In 1953, Westminster Abbey was fitted with temporary stands to boost the seating capacity to more than 8,000, aristocrats wore crimson robes and coronets, and the coronation procession meandered 5 miles (8 kilometers) through central London so an estimated 3 million people could cheer for the glamorous 27-year-old queen.

Organizers this time shortened the procession route, trimmed the coronation service to less than two hours and sent out 2,300 invitations to world royalty, heads of state, public servants, key workers and local heroes. There were judges in wigs, soldiers with gleaming medals attached to red tunics and members of the House of Lords in their red robes.

Heir to the throne Prince William, his wife, Kate, and their three children were all in attendance. William’s younger brother Prince Harry, who has&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/4bafacae1a15e7030eb337e74e904732">publicly sparred with the family</a>, arrived alone. His wife Meghan and their children remained at home in California.

Built around the theme “Called to Serve,” the coronation service began with one of the youngest members of the congregation — a boy chorister — greeting the king. Charles responded by saying, "I come not to be served but to serve.”

The moment is meant to underscore the importance of young people — and is a new addition in a service laden with the rituals through which power has been passed down to new monarchs throughout the centuries.

The symbolic peak of the two-hour service came halfway through when Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed the solid gold St. Edward’s Crown on the monarch’s head. Trumpets sounded and gun salutes were fired across the U.K.

In another change, Charles has scrapped the traditional moment at the end of the service when nobles were asked to kneel and pledge their loyalty to the king.

Instead, Welby will invite everyone in the abbey to swear “true allegiance” to the monarch. He'll invite people watching on television to pay homage, too — though that part of the ceremony has been toned down after some criticized it as a tone-deaf effort to demand public support for Charles. Welby will now suggest people at home take a “moment of quiet reflection” or say “God Save the King.”

The public’s response to Charles, though, during the service and along the parade route, is key, said George Gross, a visiting research fellow at King’s College, London and an expert on coronations.

“None of this matters if the public don’t show up,’’ Gross said. ‘’If they don’t care, then the whole thing doesn’t really work. It is all about this interaction.’’

And today's public is very different from the audience that saw Elizabeth crowned.

Almost 20% of the population now come from ethnic minority groups, compared with less than 1% in the 1950s. More than 300 languages are spoken in British schools, and less than half of the population describe themselves as Christian.

Although organizers say the coronation remains a “sacred Anglican service,” the ceremony will for the first time&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-iii-sikh-muslims-jews-christians-7ada0db9dd055d1f924165d4b84c48c7">include the active participation of other faiths</a>, including representatives of the Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh traditions.

LONDON (AP) — The United Kingdom's royal family turns the page on a new chapter Saturday with&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-iii-coronation-britain-crown-monarchy-d0f34a0b5489f673844c7d1c8135db86">the coronation</a>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-coronation-charles-camilla-a799d9bc8baf93778aff362fcde0c80d">King Charles III</a>&nbsp;— a spectacle that echoes medieval times but features modern flourishes.

Plans for the ceremony at Westminster Abbey call for a more toned-down affair than the last one, even though royals from other nations, heads of state and&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-iii-coronation-family-harry-meghan-4bafacae1a15e7030eb337e74e904732">most of Charles' family</a>&nbsp;will be there, and the monarch plans to wear&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/video/caroline-de-guitaut-national-95912098ff0c4f859b1cfc8397aa3444">the same vestments</a>&nbsp;as Elizabeth did.

Here are some things to know about the coronation:

WHY HAVE THE CORONATION IF CHARLES IS ALREADY KING?

Charles automatically ascended to the throne when&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/queen-elizabeth-ii-health-update-b2578aa91c3fef9c5d6ad4a557bf63e4">Elizabeth died Sept. 8</a>, and he was officially proclaimed the United Kingdom's monarch two days later in an ascension ceremony broadcast for the first time on television.

Charles said he was “deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me.”

There is no legal requirement for a coronation, and other European monarchies have done away with the ceremonies.

But the deeply religious and regalia-heavy event is a more formal confirmation of his role as&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-coronation-parliament-speakers-coach-077c71b57815a241a75068d9789b06d9">head of state</a>&nbsp;and titular head of the Church of England and was intended to show the king's authority was derived from God.

During&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-iii-coronation-service-d30f336a0700c14b5fa7fbaacc995d54">the service</a>&nbsp;conducted by the church's spiritual leader, the archbishop of Canterbury, Charles will be&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-iii-oil-coronation-jerusalem-6a66a419f294c3f6265b117c66cf4086">anointed with oil</a>, receive the traditional symbols of the monarch — including the orb and scepter — and have the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/queen-elizabeth-ii-king-charles-iii-europe-london-f29b0d48f224dbc2b947938e7ef901c7">St. Edwards Crown</a>&nbsp;placed on his head for the first time.&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/uk-coronation-queen-camilla-3f2937d8a9ce210397f1eb64263e1a86">Charles’ wife</a>, Camilla, will be crowned as queen consort.

WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST CORONATION?

The coronation ceremony dates back to the medieval period, and much of it remains unchanged.

Westminster Abbey has been the setting of the ritual since William the Conqueror was crowned in 1066.

Elizabeth II's coronation in June 1953 was the first to be televised live. The broadcast in black and white drew an audience of tens of millions in the U.K. and was later played to a worldwide audience. In the age of streaming and social media, people will be able to watch Charles' crowning live — and in vivid reds, blues and golds — from virtually anywhere on the planet and post their hot takes with a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-iii-coronation-crown-jewels-90276e03632ac50aa10f3b91e464ac06">crown emoji</a>&nbsp;created for the occasion.

Charles has said he plans to slim down the monarchy. His coronation is expected to reflect that with a ceremony shorter than his mother's three-hour extravaganza and no more than 2,800 guests in the audience — far fewer than the 8,000 who assembled to see Elizabeth crowned.

In a nod to the change in the religious makeup of the United Kingdom, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh religious leaders will play a role at the coronation. That reflects&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-iii-sikh-muslims-jews-christians-7ada0db9dd055d1f924165d4b84c48c7">Charles' vow to be “the defender of faiths,”</a>&nbsp;as opposed to the “defender of the faith.”

The procession after the ceremony also will be decidedly shorter than the 5-mile (8 kilometer) route that&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/90276e03632ac50aa10f3b91e464ac06">Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, took</a>&nbsp;around London in 1953. Charles and Camilla plan to take a more modern set of horse-drawn wheels for the 1.3-mile (2-kilometer) route from Buckingham Palace to the abbey. Once crowned, they will step back in time and retrace the journey in the 260-year-old carriage — notorious for its rough ride — used in every coronation since William IV’s in 1831.

A hundred heads of state are expected to attend along with royalty ranging from Japan's&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-lifestyle-business-naruhito-japan-36d8a43b744aa69ffae49df6c5be8b36">Crown Prince Akishino</a>&nbsp;and his wife, Kiko, to Spain’s King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia.

The U.S. will keep alive its streak of a president never attending a British royal coronation, although&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-coronation-jill-biden-united-kingdom-cf70740ce8f67f0be13dcf1f6517d3fb">first lady Jill Biden is set to attend</a>.

William, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, is expected to kneel before his father and pledge his loyalty in what's known as the Homage of Royal Blood.

His younger brother, Prince Harry, the disgruntled Duke of Sussex, is not expected to take part in the service. His explosive memoir “Spare,” which became a bestseller early this year, made unflattering claims about the royal family.

Until three weeks ago, there was a question of whether Harry and his wife, Meghan, would attend the crowning after leveling&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/prince-harry-book-details-ce879703cbc92372e4736313c6cab941">charges of racism and media manipulation</a>&nbsp;at the royal family.

<a href="https://apnews.com/article/prince-harry-king-charles-coronation-ed88499c6fdab56d0b502fce0186d62f">While Harry will be there</a>, the duchess is to remain at the couple's Southern California home with their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The coronation is just a few days before the first of Harry's lawsuits against the British tabloid press goes to trial. The case could reveal more family secrets.

During a hearing in a similar case last week,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/204040933edff25780a8df251c1494ef">Harry said in court papers</a>&nbsp;that Buckingham Palace, with the approval of the queen, had an agreement with Rupert Murdoch's English newspapers to settle phone hacking allegations without a lawsuit. Harry said he was directed by palace staff to drop his litigation because his father wanted to curry favor with the press.

The family drama doesn't end there. Charles' brother, Prince Andrew, is also not expected to play any role in the ceremony. Andrew gave up royal duties and was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/prince-andrew-queen-elizabeth-ii-sexual-assault-allegations-898054236b195125946b3bacc3262b5b">stripped of military titles and patronages</a>&nbsp;after revelations of his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/prince-andrew-virginia-giuffre-lawsuit-settlement-8b04c775aa46f761d81c05ef12e3a94f">settled a lawsuit</a>&nbsp;with a woman who said she was forced to have sex with him when she was a teenager.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CORONATION?

With opinion polls showing support for the monarchy has weakened in recent years, this is the chance for Charles to seek and showcase the public's embrace.

Crowds are expected to line the streets to cheer the new king, and throngs will stand outside Buckingham Palace waiting for him to appear on the balcony after the procession.

While criticism of the crown was relatively muted in recent years out of respect for the queen and her decades of service to the country, there is likely to be much more discussion of whether the United Kingdom still needs this antiquated institution or if it should become a republic with an elected head of state.

The leader of the anti-monarchist group Republic said it plans to have more than 1,000 protesters clad in yellow chanting, “Not my king” as the royal procession passes by.

For the vast majority, though, it will be an opportunity to celebrate being British — or show their support for an institution that is the subject of fascination for so many around the world.

Streets will be lined with union flags, spectators will dress in red, white and blue, and military jets will fly overhead streaming plumes of smoke in the national colors. The pomp and circumstance of the ceremony itself is also&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/british-monarchy-slavery-slave-trade-king-charles-1964cdbc927f4c9ad21836cec137e911">a reminder of a time</a>&nbsp;when Britain was the most powerful nation in the world.

WHO IS PICKING UP THE TAB FOR THE CELEBRATION?

The public is footing the bill for the coronation. There is no official estimate yet of what it might cost. Some reports estimate it could top 100 million pounds ($125 million).

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said Tuesday that some estimates were “more fanciful than others” and that the true cost would be shared later.

The celebration comes as the U.K. weathers a bruising cost-of-living crisis that left many struggling to heat their homes this winter and put food on their tables.

But plenty of people stand to profit from the hoopla.

<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-coronation-tourism-uk-economy-4514f315ff977d132743f728bd019afa">Officials are expecting to see a tourism</a>&nbsp;boost and there is no shortage of coronation-themed events and commemorative products that could ring up additional sales taxes.

Fans looking to remember the historic event can find everything from&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/king-charles-coronation-china-souvenirs-456b64674d2bc7b96c2a12eb570e1e3a">fine china</a>&nbsp;to souvenir coins or even cardboard masks of Charles and Camilla. Coronation themed biscuits, chocolates and beers are likely to be quickly forgotten.

SEDGWICK COUNTY —A man accused in a 16-year-old sexual assault case has made a first appearance in court.

Ted Foy, 52 of Augusta, is charged with aggravated criminal sodomy, rape, aggravated sexual battery, and attempted rape, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

In November of 2007, police were dispatched to a reported sex assault case at 1900 S Tara Falls in Wichita, according to Officer Kris Gupilan.

Investigators learned that a suspect had broken into a home and sexually assaulted a female victim. Investigators worked to identify a suspect but were unable to despite exhausting all available resources at the time.

Recently, in collaboration with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations Cold Case Team and the Sedgwick County Regional Forensic Science Center, Wichita Police Investigators were able to utilize genealogical investigative techniques to assist them in identifying a potential suspect. 

The suspect’s identity was confirmed through DNA as Ted Foy.

On Monday, police arrested Foy and booked him into the Sedgwick County Jail.&nbsp;&nbsp;Attorneys are scheduled to discuss the case on May 15. Foy remains in jail on a $500,000 bond.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Proud Boys leader&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/proud-boys-government-informant-dc84086d78b688bc585f874452d2b481">Enrique Tarrio</a>&nbsp;and three other members of the far-right extremist group were convicted Thursday of a plot to attack the U.S. Capitol in a desperate bid to keep Donald Trump in power after the Republican lost the 2020 presidential election.

A jury in Washington, D.C., found Tarrio and three lieutenants guilty of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-legal-proceedings-united-states-government-violence-proud-boys-0eedce46cf5375f3417f4a9c968a8e62">seditious conspiracy</a>&nbsp;after hearing from dozens of witnesses over more than three months in one of the most serious cases brought in the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/capitol-siege">stunning attack that unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021,</a>&nbsp;as the world watched on live TV.

Jurors cleared a fifth defendant — Dominic Pezzola — of the sedition charge, though he was convicted of other serious felonies. The judge excused the jury without delivering a verdict on some counts — including another conspiracy charge for Pezzola — after jurors failed to reach a unanimous decision.

It’s a significant milestone for the Justice Department, which has now secured seditious conspiracy convictions against the leaders of two major extremist groups prosecutors say were intent on keeping Democratic President Joe Biden out of the White House at all costs. The charge carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years.

“The Justice Department will never stop working to defend the democracy to which all Americans are entitled,” Attorney General Merrick Garland told reporters after the verdict.

Tarrio, behind bars since his March 2022 arrest, didn't appear to show any emotion as the verdict was read. He hugged one of his lawyers and shook the hand of the other before leaving the courtroom. A few of the people sitting among the defendants’ relatives wiped away tears as the verdict was read.

The verdict comes after a trial that took more than twice as long as originally expected,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/legal-proceedings-proud-boys-timothy-kelly-20648ad33f958aa2d6f0dbd80a2474ad">slowed by bickering</a>, mistrial motions and revelations of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/proud-boys-enrique-tarrio-capitol-riot-informant-ce0a1cf20c17c95b1ea3306fb70d93c4">government informants</a>&nbsp;in the group. Securing the conviction of Tarrio, a high-profile leader who wasn’t at the riot itself, could embolden the Justice Department as a special counsel investigates Trump, including key aspects of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Special Counsel Jack Smith in recent weeks has sought the testimony of many people close to Trump. They include&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/pence-trump-grand-jury-2020-jan-6-9dac6db37ab8923ff1b0f09f3a9a32c8">former Vice President Mike Pence</a>, who testified before a grand jury last week, likely giving prosecutors a key first-person account about certain conversations and events in the weeks preceding the riot.

Tarrio was a top target of what has become the largest Justice Department investigation in American history. He led the neo-fascist group — known for street fights with left-wing activists — when Trump infamously told the Proud Boys to&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-race-and-ethnicity-donald-trump-chris-wallace-0b32339da25fbc9e8b7c7c7066a1db0f">“stand back and stand by”</a>&nbsp;during his first debate with Biden.

Tarrio wasn’t in Washington on Jan. 6, because he had been arrested two days earlier in a separate case and ordered out of the capital city. But prosecutors said he organized and directed the attack by Proud Boys who stormed the Capitol that day.

In addition to Tarrio, a Miami resident, three other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy: Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl.

Tarrio, Nordean, Biggs and Rehl were also convicted of obstructing Congress’ certification of Biden’s electoral victory and obstructing law enforcement as well as two other conspiracy charges. The four were cleared of an assault charge stemming from Pezzola, who stole an officer’s riot shield.

The judge told jurors to keep deliberating on a few remaining counts where they haven’t reached agreement.

Rehl's attorney, Carmen Hernandez, said her client “continues to maintain his innocence.” Lawyers for Biggs and Pezzola declined to comment. An attorney for Tarrio declined to comment.

Prosecutors told jurors the group viewed itself as “Trump’s army” and was prepared for “all-out war” to stop Biden from becoming president.

The Proud Boys were “lined up behind Donald Trump and willing to commit violence on his behalf,” prosecutor Conor Mulroe said in his closing argument.

Tarrio responded: “Do it again.”“Make no mistake,” Tarrio wrote in another message. “We did this.”Defense lawyers denied there was any plot to attack the Capitol or stop Congress’ certification of Biden’s win. A lawyer for Tarrio sought to push the blame onto Trump, arguing the former president incited the pro-Trump mob’s attack when he urged the crowd near the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-donald-trump-capitol-siege-media-e79eb5164613d6718e9f4502eb471f27">White House to “fight like hell.”</a>“It was Donald Trump’s words. It was his motivation. It was his anger that caused what occurred on January 6th in your beautiful and amazing city,” attorney Nayib Hassan said in his final appeal to jurors. “It was not Enrique Tarrio. They want to use Enrique Tarrio as a scapegoat for Donald J. Trump and those in power.”The Justice Department hadn’t tried a seditious conspiracy case in a decade before a jury convicted another extremist group leader, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, of the Civil War-era charge last year.Over the course of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/oath-keepers-capitol-riot-jan-6-trial-conspiracy-437b0d2598829d951a5dbb60908e7a4a">two Oath Keepers trials,</a>&nbsp;Rhodes and five other members were convicted of seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors said was a separate plot to forcibly halt the transfer of presidential power from Trump to Biden. Three defendants were acquitted of the sedition charge, but convicted of obstructing Congress’ certification of Biden’s electoral victory.The Justice Department has yet to disclose how much prison time it will seek when the Oath Keepers are sentenced later this month.____
