 Daniel Baker was convicted Thursday in Tallahassee of making threats to attack “armed racist mobs” he believed were destined to descend on Florida’s Capitol building to take it over. After two days of trial in which the 33-year-old Army veteran testified on his own behalf, jurors deliberated for about four hours before returning two guilty verdicts on federal counts he used the internet to transmit two true threats to kidnap or injure. Baker, who has been held in federal detention in Tallahassee since his arrest, will be sentenced on August 16th.
