WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former police officer who is seeking to throw out an obstruction charge for joining the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. But the decision was celebrated by Trump, who said the Supreme Court "did the right thing" in Fischer's case. Fischer faces seven criminal charges, only one of which was the focus of the Supreme Court case. Most recently, Jan. 6 defendant Benjamin Martin was convicted on Wednesday of obstruction of an official proceeding, but he was also convicted of felony civil disorder and misdemeanor offenses. Recently, judges have been factoring the pending Fischer decision into their sentencing decisions.
