Two East Helena brothers charged in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol pleaded not guilty Friday. Joshua Calvin Hughes and Jerod Wade Hughes will return to court March 8 for a status conference. Attorneys in the case had asked the judge for a 60-day continuance after a motion to drop one of the charges was dismissed and a count of disorderly conduct was added. Friday’s court appearance was a year and a day after a violent mob of Donald Trump’s supporters broke into the Capitol on that fateful day in which at least nine people died, including police officers.
