This photo illustration shows the suspect, national guardsman Jack Teixeira, reflected in an image of the Pentagon in Washington, DC.Teixeira, 22, who appeared at Hanscom Air Force Base, about 20 miles outside of Boston, for the military court hearing, pleaded guilty to federal charges in March for disseminatingon the social media platform, Discord. Some of those documents included intelligence about the war in Ukraine, including classified information about troop movements.
On Tuesday, Teixeira entered the courtroom unrestrained and in his military uniform. As prosecutors presented their evidence, his family members in the audience whispered to one another. His mother, Dawn Dufault, said it appeared as if his Air Force blues no longer fit. "It’s all the junk they’re feeding him in there," she said.
They then entered photographs of Teixeira’s electronics, including an iPad and a hard-drive, which they said had been recovered from a nearby dumpster following his arrest.Capt. Stephanie Adams argued Teixeira acted with "malicious intent to cover his tracks," and that he thereby obstructed justice. However, his team argued that the latest charges should be thrown out because of the concept of double jeopardy -- or the concept of not being prosecuted twice for the same crime.
