But after Huston was arrested and charged with attempted murder, he says the USCCA lawyer told him the case was a difficult one and advised him to plead guilty to a lesser charge. He went out and found a new lawyer, who got the charges dismissed. Even though USCCA also paid for the new lawyer, Huston quit his membership shortly after the two-year legal saga ended.

Less than a month after receiving pardons for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, some former defendants find themselves in a familiar place: back in court, facing other criminal charges.
