Edward Kelley Convicted of Conspiracy to Murder Federal Officials

Edward Kelley, a 35-year-old man from Maryville, Tennessee, has been convicted of conspiracy to murder federal investigators linked to the January 6 Capitol riot. During his trial in Knoxville, prosecutors revealed that Kelley created a 'kill list' targeting FBI agents and others involved in the investigation, which he shared with a co-conspirator along with videos of the agents. Kelley and his accomplice discussed various methods for carrying out attacks, including using car bombs and drones. He faces a potential life sentence when he is sentenced in May. The case reflects ongoing tensions and threats stemming from the Capitol riot, as many defendants are attempting to delay their prosecutions, citing the potential for future pardons from Donald Trump. Kelley's chilling statements during the investigation underscore the severity of his intentions to harm law enforcement officials.
