US Court of appeals for 2 circuits unanimously on Wednesday Reduced punishment Douglas McKay on the allegations of federal conspiracy and sent the case back to the US court in the eastern district of New York to enter a new decision of Bari.
Three-judge panels unanimously Said in their decision It could not be found “any rational jury” that McKay, 36, intentionally “deliberately” joined an illegal conspiracy with others in an illegal conspiracy with the aim of influencing the results of the 2016 election or depriving him of his right to vote.
Chief Justice Debra An Livingston wrote, “The decision and punishment should be kept as a resulting decision.”

McKay was convicted in 2023 on charges of conspiracy and sentenced to seven months in the federal jail.
The three-judge panel ruled on Wednesday that there was not enough evidence to prove the posts of McKay, including the false memes posted by him, that he had violated the US conspiracy laws, “even assuming that he did so with the intention to injured other citizens in the practice of right to vote,” he said.
