Prof. Alan Rozenshtein Quoted in the Washington Examiner About How the Supreme Court Stalker Ruling May Raise Burden on DOJ in Trump Jan. 6 Investigation

Prof. Alan Rozenshtein was quoted in the Washington Examiner about how the Supreme Court stalker ruling may raise the burden on the Department of Justice's Trump January 6 investigation.

Through a 7-2 opinion in Counterman v. Colorado on Tuesday, the high court held that when a defendant is prosecuted for communicating a violent threat, the government must prove that the defendant understood that the communication would likely be perceived as a threat.

The Washington Examiner reported that Rozenshtein said the "decision is meaningful in what it may signal about the 'viability and probability of a prosecution of former President Donald Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol,' according to a Tuesday blog post for Lawfare."
