The trial for Karol Chwiesiuk and his sister, Agnes, is moving forward, despite a court ruling that would allow them to be called 'insurrectionists.'
Chicago police officer Karol Chwiesiuk can be called an insurrectionist during his trial for charges in the US Capitol riot, a judge ruled.The only January 6 riot case against a Chicago police officer, the trial for Karol Chwiesiuk and his sister, Agnes, is moving forward despite a court ruling that would allow them to be called "insurrectionists."
In CPD officer Chwiesiuk's case, they've told a D.C. court that "What took place on January 6, was in fact a riot and an insurrection."In a recent order, a D.C. judge overruled Chwiesiuk's objections to the use of the words "insurrectionist" and "insurrection" and will allow prosecutors to use them during trial.
"Words like insurrection and insurrectionist carry a lot of weight, pack a lot of punch and are an effective tool that the government can use to really plant in the jurors' minds," said Soffer. "That this is not just a street brawl and it's not an innocent protest, it's something much more serious."
