Court hearing is beginning in high-level US Capitol riot case of group of accused Proud Boys, including Domenic Pezzola, who's accused of smashing open Capitol window w/ riot shield
Pezzola has been seeking release from pretrial detention in DC jail. Among his many arguments, Pezzola says "access to personal hygiene.. is nonexistent".... defendants face "harsh treatment" and "human rights violations" in the jail
One-by-one ... federal judge is swatting down Pezzola's argument for release from DC jail, including Pezzola's claims about the physical conditions and access to computer/lawyer in the jail
Pezzola's argument about DC jail conditions were very granular. He went as far as specifying that inmates share a nail clipper
Other judges have expressed concern this month about jail's handling of J6 defendants
But it's not moving the needle enough to get Pezzola released

So Pezzola will remain inside the DC jail, where employees tell me he's known as "Dom"..... and where staffers say a bunch of inmates watch the TV news each night.
So..... I'll keep that in mind
