Texas vineyard owner who tried to cut the Capitol's power on January 6 convicted on seven counts
"According to a probable cause affidavit filed last year, Grider told a reporter during an interview with KWTX in Waco, Texas, that he’d been inside the Capitol and had been just feet away from U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt when she was fatally shot while climbing through a window of a door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby," said the report. "Grider was ultimately charged, and convicted, of assisting other rioters in damaging that door prior to Babbitt’s attempt to climb through."
