US prosecutors can’t show jurors a handwritten note containing the phrase “Death List” found in the home of a defendant in the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy case, a judge ruled.
The note was discovered during a search of defendant Thomas Caldwell’s house in Virginia two weeks after Jan. 6, 2021. Under the phrase “Death List,” it named two Georgia election workers -- Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss -- who testified earlier this year about threats they received after becoming targets of baseless conspiracy theories pushed by former President Donald Trump and his supporters.
