Klein and Cappuccio went to the Lower West Terrace, where their victims were. They attacked police officer Daniel Hodges, who was recorded on camera being pinned to a metal door frame by the mob with Klein’s help, in one of the most traumatic incidents of the day.

Klein was convicted on all counts, including 10 felony charges which involved six violent confrontations with law enforcement officers and obstruction of the electoral vote count, after a week-long bench trial before U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden.
