TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â The man investigators say was using social media to incite violence at the Florida Capitol on Inauguration Day returned to court Thursday for a virtual hearing.
In a preliminary hearing, three of Baker s friends testified on his behalf. Another wrote a letter advocating for the veteran.
During that hearing Baker s roommate Eric Champagne told the court that after the insurrection on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, he became consumed with what happened. The FBI issued a warning about this and he took the FBI warning seriously. He thought he was trying to protect his neighbors from violent people, said Champagne.
