The judge had to send the jury out of the courtroom three times, but in the end, the trial of Walter F. Fitzpatrick III proceeded smoothly and ended with two findings of guilty and two of not guilty.
Fitzpatrick was found guilty of interrupting a meeting and resisting arrest, for which he received a combined 11/29 suspended after 60 days. He was found not guilty on charges of retaliation for a past action and civil rights violation. He had charges of inciting a riot and disorderly conduct dismissed before the trial started.
Fitzpatrick is the former Naval officer who spent the first two years of Barack Obama's presidential term trying to get him charged with treason. During those two years he found his way to Sweetwater and then the Monroe County Courthouse where he attempted to indict the president through the grand jury, even though the president has never been to Monroe County.
While doing that, Fitzpatrick decided the grand jury was conspiring against him when the jury said it didn't feel it was the right place to try and indict the President of the United States.
