Switching over to a hearing before Judge Lamberth about the ongoing medical situation w/ Proud Boy Christopher Worrell in the DC Jail. The latest on that: wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Judge Lamberth now talking about the US Marshals' inspection of the DC Jail. He says the Marshals did not find that conditions in CTF (where #CapitolRiot defendants are being held) are not egregious, just that they're not as egregious as the main jail. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Lamberth says (as reported by @hsu_spencer), that Marshals overheard corrections officers telling inmates not to "snitch" to inspectors. washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…
You can read the US Marshals' public statement about the inspection here:
As the @washingtonpost Editorial Board wrote last month: We've known for a long time about serious issues at the DC Jail. We've reported on them. Black and brown inmates have spoken up for years. But then a white #CapitolRiot defendant complained. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Judge Lamberth says he has "zero confidence" DC DOC officials will provide Christopher Worrell the treatment he needs (chemotherapy, in this case) and also worries they will retaliate against him. #CapitolRiot
Judge Lamberth says he's going to move Christopher Worrell immediately to the Alexandria jail while he works out a third-party custodian for his release. Says he worries he will be further harmed if he keeps him in the DC Jail.

Up next, a sentencing hearing starts now for Jonathan Ace Sanders before Judge Carl Nichols. Class "B" misdemeanor. The government is asking for 2 months of home detention as part of a 3-year period of probation. Also 60 hours of community service. #CapitolRiot @wusa9
DOJ says Jonathan Ace Sanders witnessed people smashing in windows, tear gas and flash bangs going off and a "chain of Oath Keepers snaking in through the doors."

"Despite all this, the defendant chose to enter the Rotunda doors propped open by a rioter."
DOJ also notes Sanders is a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, during which time he earned, among other distinctions, a Purple Heart. That service should be respected, they say.

Jenna Ryan's sentencing hearing starts at 10 a.m. before Judge Christopher Cooper. The DOJ says she should serve 60 days in jail. Her attorney is asking for probation. My live-tweet of the hearing will start here. #CapitolRiot @wusa9
Of special note: This is the first January 6 sentencing hearing since Chief Judge Howell laid out her (high) standards for sending misdemeanor #CapitolRiot defendants to jail last week. Well see how Judge Cooper may factor that in. google.com/amp/s/www.wusa…
Jenna Ryan has arrived at court for her sentencing.

People want, and can now have, information sources that conform to and reinforce their world views. All reverting to this imaginary model of journalism old schoolers swear once existed would do is perpetuate historical blind spots while not winning a single reader back.
Case in point: The volcanic rage of Fox News viewers after they (accurately!) called Arizona for Joe Biden.
I think we should report facts! I think we should rigorously fact-check them! But more facts aren't going to win back readers who simply reject information they disagree with. People lined up yesterday to see JFK come back to life! What facts haven't we given them?

"... conditions at the CTF 'were observed to be largely appropriate and consistent with federal prisoner detention standards,' and that the problems were primarily in the main jail."

For those following #CapitolRiot cases, January 6 defendants are being held at the CTF.
Still, very serious issues found at the main D.C. Jail, including food and water being withheld as a form of punishment, per @hsu_spencer and @dugganwapo. washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…
Ironically, the surprise inspection of the D.C. Jail instigated by complaints of unequal treatment from #CapitolRiot defendants appears to show they're actually being held in much better conditions than the general population at the main facility. washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…

As expected, Proud Boy Christopher Worrell's attorney, Alex Stavrou, has filed a motion asking for bond review. Stavrou claims D.C. Jail has been delaying "necessary and lifesaving medical attention. But, the docs he filed show Worrell has pushed back appointments. #CapitolRiot ImageImage
Last month, a federal judge held two D.C. Department of Corrections officials in contempt over their failure to turn over medical notes to him about a surgery for a broken pinky finger. Worrell claimed the surgery was necessary because of the jail's delay. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Last week, the DOJ filed its own batch of records, including an interview with Christopher Worrell's doctor in which he said Worrell had "invented" statements from him and had demanded the surgery against his advice. wusa9.com/article/news/n…

We'll be back in Chief Judge Beryl Howell's (virtual) courtroom shortly for the sentencing of Eric Torrens, another Class "B" misdemeanor case. Based on her sentence just now for Leonard Gruppo, and yesterday for Torrens' co-defendant Jack Griffith, probation only seems likely.
ICYMI: Yesterday Chief Judge Howell laid into the DOJ over their "muddled" and "schizophrenic" approach to sentencing in #CapitolRiot cases. She said she felt her hands were tied by their recommendations that other misdemeanor defendants get probation. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
The conversation between Chief Judge Howell and the DOJ about sentencing continues. Howell says it's incumbent upon the government to explain their sentencing thought process.
