 Trauger admitted during Vaughn's sentencing hearing that their demonstration was nonviolent and hurt no one. Vaughn said he plans to appeal the verdict and glorified God for his sentence, framing it as a battle in a wider spiritual war. Vaughn went on to characterize his prosecution as an unlawful use of the law and expressed hope that the FACE Act, which has been used to prosecute multiple pro-life protesters under the Biden administration, will be overturned.
