AUSTIN, Texas—This morning, almost one year after an initial warrant for his arrest went out, Cody Wilson stood stoically in front of Judge Brad Urrutia in the 450th Criminal District Court in Travis County as cameras and a packed gallery watched.
The founder and former director of firearms technology company Defense Distributed soon pleaded guilty to lesser charges stemming from an August 2018 incident with a female minor.
Sporting a dark grey suit, Wilson's previously defiant public persona was nowhere to be found.
Judge Urrutia read the charge changes and went over the situation with Wilson and his attorneys; Wilson's team would respond briefly with "Yes, your honor."
Wilson's formal sentencing has been scheduled for September 12.
