OK - now detention review in Jan 6 case of US v. NICHOLAS LANGUERAND, before DDC Judge Bates. Inner City Press, still waiting for DOJ videos in US v. Harrelson (Mehta), will live tweet, thread below
Languerand's lawyer: My client has grandparents in South Carolina who would have him.
Judge Bates: Didn't he live in Vermont? What are his roots in South Carolina?
Defense: His grandparents moved and asked him to come down once he lost his job. He's a hard worker
Languerand's lawyer: He digs footings for foundations, his former boss would love him back. The risks to the public could be addressed by turning in the weapons that the government discovered - and did not seized, mind you. He could be on a curfew.
