Lawyers For 18-Year-Old Capitol Rioter Want Him Released To His Parents
Attorneys for Bruno Cua, 18, say that before the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot, he was an impressionable kid who loved fishing and building treehouses. But prosecutors see a young man intent on violence.
Before Jan. 6, 18-year-old Bruno Cua was best known in his small town of Milton, Ga., as a great builder of treehouses. These were big, elaborate creations with ladders and trapdoors and framed-out windows. They were so impressive, neighbors paid Cua to build them for their kids.
The world outside Milton, Ga., met Cua in a rather more dramatic way. He was seen in multiple videos standing in the Senate Chamber of the U.S. Capitol with a handful of other rioters.
