The two men charged with assaulting U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick during the Jan. 6 riot portray themselves in court papers as educated, hardworking businessmen with deep family roots who have no prior criminal histories and deserve to be freed on bail.
They are not members of far-right groups, and the evidence against them is suspect, neither entered the U.S. Capitol and they are accused of one, isolated act, they argue. Nevertheless, they pose no flight risk and will appear in court, they say in motions seeking to be let out of a jail in Washington, D.C.
