Jackson Reffitt notified the FBI about his concerns and recorded his father making statements about the Capitol siege on Jan. 6, 2021:
The U.S. government says in its affidavit that this photo shows Guy Reffitt outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, wearing a helmet with a camera that captured him discussing the day's insurrection.
As the heated texts piled up, Jackson Reffitt performed an internet search from his bedroom in a Dallas suburb. Jackson said he felt"paranoid" — but the Justice Department said his suspicions proved correct. To build their case, authorities are using Guy Reffitt's own words against him, in the form of text messages, video that Reffitt captured himself amid the chaos in Washington last year and recordings that Jackson Reffitt made of his father on a cellphone when he returned home a few days later.
Reffitt's helmet camera captured him using violent, foul language to lay out his intentions on Capitol Hill "Pelosi's coming out on her f***ing ears, dragging that bitch out hard core," he added soon after, about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi."Everyone's came in hot," he said."If it's one f***ing law I'm breaking, I'm OK with that."
Prosecutors said Reffitt waved on the crowd to surge past him and enter the building. Reffitt's lawyer said,"As soon as he was pepper-sprayed, that was the end of it." As prosecutors called his son to the witness stand, Guy Reffitt began to cry, wiping his eyes as his face reddened, according to a courtroom pool report. His wife, Nicole Reffitt, in the courtroom gallery stifled tears in another moment during her son's testimony.
"I did bring a weapon onto property we own," Guy Reffitt said, according to his son. He said others there"were all carrying weapons too."
