Jurors Clear Man in Laser Incident Aboard Marine One
TL;DR Summary
A Washington man, Jacob Winkler, was acquitted by a federal jury of pointing a laser at Marine One while President Trump was aboard; after about 35 minutes of deliberation, the judge discharged him and exonerated his bond. The defense called the case prosecutorial overreach, noting the alleged “weapon” was a cat-toy key chain, while prosecutors had warned lasers can incapacitate pilots.
