Supreme Court rules in favor of Jan. 6 defendant in dispute over obstruction charge
Briefly

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a former Pennsylvania police officer, stating the felony obstruction charge was improperly applied in the U.S. Capitol attack case.
The court's majority opinion, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, determined that a 2002 law against evidence destruction in financial crimes couldn't be used in the Capitol attack context, calling the government's interpretation overly broad.
