Yeah.
If you're in a group chat with someone and then they commit a crime, you could face similar charges.
This is not the first time the government has tried to use this sort of conspiracy against a large group of protesters.
Notably, they tried to do this in Atlanta unsuccessfully, but I think it's worth noting they were only unsuccessful on their recode charges because of procedural error, not because of actual evidence argued in court.
It's that the prosecutor in that case did not actually have justification or the legal justification to bring this charge.
So we never actually saw this get argued out in front of a jury and find the jury's verdict.
But this is a part of an ongoing strategy the prosecution has done against protesters the past few years, and in this case, successfully.
Yeah, it's also, like, as bleak as this is, and this is very bleak, this is not the final say on how any case like this will be adjudicated everywhere.
This is a case in Texas, right?
Like, this is not... Yes.
This isn't the fucking U.S.
Supreme Court.
It's not even the Texas Supreme Court, right?
Yeah.
Not to minimize how fucking awful this is, but this does not mean this is how cases like this will be adjudicated every time they come to court everywhere in the U.S.,
Yes, and the vagueness of the material support charge is like a double-edged sword, right?
One, it can be used in cases like this, and we don't actually know how they were exactly able to successfully argue that, because we don't know which specific federal offense of terrorism the jury found material support was provided for, or if it was multiple offenses.
nor do we know exactly which things the jury found constituted material support.
But because we don't know these things, that means when prosecutors try to argue this charge again in the future, they kind of have to start from the ground floor all over again.
It's harder to apply this exact precedent because the specific things that constituted material support and the specific crime that material support was provided for are sort of ambiguous.
