January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Kevin Seefried is a drywall installer from Laurel, Delaware - a Sussex County tradesman who hangs board for a living and who went to Washington on January 6, 2021 with his adult son beside him. Kevin Seefried works with his hands. Drywall is hard, dusty, unglamorous work, and it is the trade that put food on his family table in Laurel. (FACT - WHYY, WDEL, CNN reporting.) He and his son Hunter went to D.C. together and were prosecuted together. Whatever anyone thinks of that day, it was a father and a son in the same courtroom for four years. At trial he testified about the Confederate battle flag he carried, telling the court he did not understand its full history. (THEIR ACCOUNT - WUSA9 trial coverage.) That is his statement in his own words, on the record, under oath. THE LEGAL FIGHT. Kevin Seefried was indicted April 7, 2021 and arraigned May 4, 2021, entering a plea of not guilty to all counts. A superseding indictment was returned April 27, 2022. He chose a bench trial rather than a plea. On June 15, 2022 Judge Trevor McFadden found him guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding and four misdemeanors, including entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a Capitol building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. He was sentenced in February 2023 to 36 months. (FACT - DOJ defendant page; CNN, CBS News, WHYY, Axios.) On January 20, 2025, the January 6 clemency proclamation issued full pardons for offenses connected to the events at or near the Capitol. (FACT - White House proclamation.) CASE RECORD. Case number 1:21-cr-287-2, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Indicted April 7, 2021. Convicted at bench trial June 15, 2022. Sentenced February 2023. This profile is unclaimed.
