Here’s a Jan. 6 first: Mariposa Castro’s attorney says that, back in 2006, Donald Trump almost hit her with a golf ball.
Needs a bit of an edit, but a pretty solid sentencing memo lede, tbh.
"Ms. Acosta, usually a quiet, gentle soul started getting involved in rallies in her community to support police officers, firefighters and the military during President Trump’s run for election.”
"The only explanation for her being there is her support of former President Trump, her curiosity, the intention to provide a live stream of what she saw, and her then having gotten caught up in the moment.”

2006: Reality show star Donald Trump almost hits a woman with a golf ball at Pebble Beach.
2021: That woman storms the Capitol to try to keep President Donald Trump in office.
Believe there’s a term for this sort of effect.
Castro (aka Imelda Acosta) "is now embarking on a new life which she hopes will return her back to one of peace and tranquility in which she can give back to others,” claims her lawyer, who attached this photo.
