Zachary Rehl, a J6 political prisoner and former Proud Boys leader who was found guilty of seditious conspiracy, vows to fight for his innocence until he is "fully exonerated and so no one has to live in fear of persecution for exercising their 1st Amendment rights again."

The 37-year-old Marine Corps veteran was apprehended by the Federal Bureau of Investigations on April 17, 2021, for "his role in the Capitol riot." His wife was six months pregnant when the bureau's stormtroopers terrorized their home in a pre-dawn raid — the shock and trauma that nearly resulted in the loss of their unborn baby.
