The filing just submitted in the Jan 6 prosecution of Ryan Samsel of Pennsylvania might be the most striking, horrific and brutal accusations I've read so far in *any* of these 460+ cases.

(THREAD)

Ryan Samsel had been accused of knocking over barrier & police officer on Jan 6, knocking her unconscious

Last week, Samsel requested release from DC jail, citing injuries he allegedly suffered in beating there

Check out the response from the Justice Dept to his request ==>

Prosecutors say Samsel has history of violence against women:

Accused of choking & beating his pregnant girlfriend in 2011.. Smashing hot pizza in victim's face, pouring beer over head, throwing her into canal, holding her head under

(more) ...

Feds: "In 2009, Samsel was convicted of simple assault and reckless endangerment after he held a victim
against her will for five hours, choking her to the point of unconsciousness, pushing her, beating
her, and chipping her teeth."

Feds also allege Samsel attempted to run a woman off the road in a dispute over $60 in 2006. They say he punched in her windshield and threatened he "knew where she lived"

(Feds say he was convicted)

Feds: "In 2015, Samsel was yet again convicted of simple assault...different victim.. recounting numerous assaults by Samsel, including.... at one point, he had choked her to the point of unconsciousness and that, at another point, he hit her so hard she had a hematoma"

In 2019, feds say another woman accused Samsel:

"Different victim came forward, recounting several incidents of Samsel choking her to the point of unconsciousness and breaking into her house and assaulting her. She described waking up vomiting, with him still in the house"

Samsel remains in the DC jail.... where he says he was beaten in March

I'm waiting for court to schedule a detention hearing on his request for release from custody before trial

I'll stay on this
