American Greatness, has compiled the so-called case against Officer Sicknick’s alleged attackers. This is a summary. We know why Officer Sicknick died but the case against his alleged attackers continues, although there is seemingly no case. At first, we were told the officer was bludgeoned by a fire extinguisher and that turned out to be completely false. The 42-year-old officer died of a stroke. The chemical sprayed in his direction during the chaos outside the Capitol on January 6 did not contribute to his death. THE STORY George Tanios and Julian Khater were arrested on March 14 and charged with several crimes including four counts related to possession and use of a “deadly or dangerous weapon” and for conspiring ahead of time to use the spray against police officers. They are still behind bars.
