The trial for an East Naples man accused in the Capitol insurrection has entered a brief pause with some adjustments and is set to resume May 11.
The trial for Christopher Worrell, 52, took a break because of U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth's scheduling, a spokesperson said.
Lamberth on Friday approved a motion that sought to modify conditions of Worrell's release. His home detention condition was also revoked, although Lamberth has set a curfew between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.
