Richard Rogers, a Montana man, was convicted of threatening former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy due to a Chinese spy balloon incident. He made over 100 calls in 75 minutes. The jury found him guilty on multiple counts, including harassment. Rogers claimed his calls were a form of "civil disobedience." Prosecutors argued his behavior crossed a line. Rogers faces up to six years in prison and significant fines. His defense of free speech under the First Amendment was challenged. The case underscores the rise in threats against public officials in recent years.
