“America First Bitch.”
The next Jan. 6 sentencing on the schedule is for Leonard Pearso Ridge IV.
No sentencing recommendation filed yet, but a defense memo notes he missed out on "prom, Senior Spirit Day, and the senior year picnic” because of the pandemic.
"Just pray for me that I don’t get arrested by the fbi.”
Ridge will be sentencing by Judge James E. Boasberg on Jan. 4.
Defense: "During a time when most teenagers and young adults dream only of being 'influencers’ on social media platforms… His interest in politics is a good thing and but for entering the Capitol on January 6th, should be applauded.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
"The consequences of his actions will follow him forever. When Googling his name, he will always be tied to the actions of January 6th. The conviction and public humiliation of this is in and of itself is punishment enough.”
Bucks County’s Leonard Pearson Ridge IV tells the judge he’s “learned that protest should be peaceful and not what they turned into on Jan. 6th. I did enter the Capitol which was very wrong and I am very sorry.”
Val Ridge, a former police officer, says that their nephew should be made to volunteer at a VA hospital.
"Let him see what true patriots/[heroes] look like... not the... individuals who influenced him on Jan 6th.”
