A father and his son, both pastors at a (you can read about it here) Melbourne church, and an Indian Harbour Beach repairman were found guilty by a federal jury in connection with their roles in the failed Jan. 6 insurrection.
The convictions of James Varnell Cusick Jr. and his son Casey Cusick — leaders of the Melbourne-based Global Outreach Ministries Church — and David John Lesperance came Friday at the end of a five-day jury trial before District of Columbia Circuit Judge John D. Bates.
The jury found the three men guilty of knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or on grounds without lawful authority; disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building; and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, court records show.
All three plan to appeal the case. A sentencing date was set for Oct. 12. The three remain out on bond on the misdemeanor convictions, according to court records.
