[CHARGE ONLY - U.S. Attorney's Office announcement as reported by WSET and Hoodline] Prosecutors alleged he pushed an officer's baton and later pushed down on another officer's arm. [CHARGE ONLY - government allegation. Never tested at trial. Mark Mercurio is presumed innocent of every count.] An allegation is an allegation. Nobody in this country loses the presumption of innocence because a press release went out. CLEMENCY On January 20, 2025, roughly two months after his arrest, the proclamation granted full pardons for offenses related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, and directed the Attorney General to move to dismiss pending indictments in that class of cases.
