Scott Fairlamb is set to be sentenced on Nov. 10. The government, in a sentencing memo seeking 3.5+ years in federal prison, disclosed these new images from Jan. 6, including one featuring him holding a baton and another with a pepper ball between his teeth:
"Fairlamb expressed that he had been duped by the social media that he had consumed prior to the riot and was deeply regretful for his conduct on January 6.” (H/T @emptywheel) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Fairlamb, whose brother was on Michelle Obama’s Secret Service detail, pleaded guilty in August: huffpost.com/entry/scott-fa…

44-year-old Jennifer Heinl is pleading guilty to misdemeanor count in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

"I'm pleading guilty because I'm guilty,” she tells a judge. Image
Her husband, a police detective on a FBI task force, reportedly asked her not to go to D.C.

He later filed for divorce.

Heinl: “I just need to get over this and get kind of like some normalcy… I’m guilty, and I just want to get my life back.”

The feds say Jan. 6 defendant Jenna Ryan — who said she’s “definitely not going to jail” — should definitely go to jail. huffpost.com/entry/jenna-ry…
“Perhaps the most compelling need for specific deterrence arises from the defendant’s misguided belief that she is above the law, or at least insulated from incarceration.” huffpost.com/entry/jenna-ry…
The feds say Jenna Ryan “drew on her considerable experience as a social media influencer to promote violence before her arrival at the Capitol.” huffpost.com/entry/jenna-ry…

Before she put a Jan. 6 pretrial detainee on house arrest earlier this week, a judge expressed some concerns about comments his dad made calling his son’s treatment in jail a disgrace to the country.

The lawyer’s explanation was basically that the dad was privileged and unaware.
The lawyer said that many Jan. 6 defendants and their families seemed to have a very “warped perspective of what jail’s like.”
“The parents of the people in DC jail aren’t crying about ‘this is unfair’… but from his point of view he has higher expectations, I guess, for his son and what should happen.”

It seems there’s a letter floating out there from Capitol defendant Nathaniel DeGrave calling himself a “non violent participant” in the Jan. 6 rally and calling his riot gear a “costume” for a “documentary."

Let’s check the video:
Federal judge, stating the facts: "Mr. DeGrave entered the Capitol building and engaged in violence directed at Capitol Police officers as they tried to secure the building.”
DeGrave, decked out in his battled gear, was so aggressive about chasing down that last security officer that other members of the mob held him back.
