Federal judges have played along, approving hundreds of protective orders to keep video clips-particularly footage recorded by the Capitol Police's extensive closed-circuit television system-out of the public eye.
For months, one of the most scandalous untold stories about January 6 is egregious police misconduct that, in some instances, amounted to brutality by D.C. Metro and U.S. Capitol police.
At least one protester, Ashli Babbitt, was shot and killed by Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd, although she was unarmed and posed no lethal threat.
Defense attorneys now are prepared to present their evidence about what the police did on January 6 in the court of public opinion, which matters as much as the legal proceedings underway in the D.C. court system.
Joseph McBride, a New York-based attorney representing some January 6 defendants, prepared a motion last month that detailed an horrific account of what happened in the lower west terrace tunnel, the site of the most vicious brawls between police and protesters.
Police officers punching, kicking, macing, and beating with sticks and their fists several protesters trapped inside the tunnel.
Boyland apparently died outside the tunnel around 4:30 p.m. on January 6 amid a fierce battle between police and protesters.
