A Jan. 6 rioter from Tennessee who was found guilty last week of breaking into the U.S. Capitol and assaulting police officers just got hit with another conviction for plotting to kill the FBI agents who investigated him.
Edward Kelley, 33, was convicted once again on Wednesday — this time in the Eastern District of Tennessee — on charges of conspiracy to murder federal employees, solicitation to commit a crime of violence and influencing a federal official by threat following a three-day trial, the Department of Justice said. He’s due to be sentenced in May, a little over a month after he’s scheduled to be sentenced in his Washington, D.C., case for his participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks.
