Capitol Riot Defendant Jailed for Threats Against Supreme Court Justice

Bradley Scott Nelson, awaiting trial for January 6 charges, allegedly made violent threats against Justice Amy Coney Barrett and other officials.

Federal judge revoked Nelson's pretrial release due to 'escalating rhetoric.'
Nelson posted threatening images of Attorney General Merrick Garland and New York AG Letitia James.
He allegedly hoped for violent acts against Barrett following a Supreme Court ruling.
Nelson's trial for his role in the Capitol riots is set for December.
Authorities cited safety concerns for FBI agents involved in his case.
