A man convicted for his role in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol complex sought to briefly delay proceedings in his case in light of President-elect Donald Trump’s Nov. 5 election victory.

That effort quickly fell short by Wednesday afternoon.

Christopher Carnell, 21, of Cary, North Carolina, wore a red backpack with his last name stitched on the back in white letters when he was at the national seat of government without permission that fateful day.

In late February 2023, he was indicted — along with his Raleigh-based friend David Bowman, 22 — on one felony count of obstruction of an official proceeding and misdemeanor charges including: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, entering and remaining on the floor of Congress, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
