The U.S. Capitol rioter who posed for photos with his feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk doesn't want prosecutors to call him a rioter during his trial.
Attorneys for Richard "Bigo" Barnett, who faces multiple charges for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, submitted a list of descriptive terms they hope a judge will prohibit prosecutors from using to describe the Arkansas man and other Donald Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol to help overturn the 2020 election results.
"Specifically, Mr. Barnett requests that this Honorable Court order the exclusion of 'terrorism,' 'terrorist,' 'insurrection,' 'insurrectionist,' 'mob,' 'rioter,' 'treason,' 'traitor,' 'sedition,' 'conspiracy,' 'attack on the Capitol,' "attack on democracy,' 'threat to democracy,' 'attack on Congress,' 'white supremacy/supremacists,' 'police were killed,' 'stun gun,' and other inflammatory language related to groups such as the 'Proud Boys' and 'Oath Keepers,' as well as references to places on the grounds or in the Capitol where he did not go," his attorneys said in a court filing.
Barnett's attorneys also asked the court to exclude any news reports that mention police officers who died after the riot, and they want to prohibit prosecutors from introducing video or photo evidence of violent clashes with police officers.

Dear Judge: Sentences should NOT run concurrently. Your Honor should make certain that the people are protected from this violent terrorist for the rest of his natural life.
