Flood of Capitol riot, tribal cases swamps US prosecutors
Read full article: Flood of Capitol riot, tribal cases swamps US prosecutors(AP Photo/Alex Brandon)OKLAHOMA CITY – The U.S. Justice Department’s to-do list was already daunting, especially with this year's flood of pandemic-delayed federal cases. Now, more than 300 people have been charged so far in the Capitol riot that resulted in the deaths of five people, and at least 100 more are expected to be charged. Meanwhile, Capitol riot investigators are wading through more than 15,000 hours of footage from surveillance cameras and officers’ body-worn cameras, information from about 1,600 electronic devices and more than 210,000 tips from the public. The Capitol riot cases will likely be lined up behind older ones waiting months to go to trial, Hernandez said, noting that she had one originally scheduled for last April that's now booked for September. “Right now, because of our resources, we’re triaging and taking the most serious of cases, the violent crime cases, the cases that have acts against children and things of that nature."
