A federal District of Columbia jury took less than two hours to find Richard “Bigo” Barnett—the man in the now-famous photo with his feet on a desk in the office of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—guilty of four felonies and four misdemeanors for his time in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Jury deliberations began at 9 a.m. E.T. on Jan. 23, after the two jury alternates were dismissed on the afternoon of Jan. 20. At about 10:30 a.m., the jury told U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper that they’d reached verdicts on all counts.
