“Infamy is just as good as fame. Either way I end up more known. XOXO”
Sentencing underway for Jan. 6 defendant Gracyn Courtright, who is present in the courtroom with her family. They took COVID tests two days ago, and took rapid tests today. (The family wasn’t vaccinated.)
Gracyn Courtright’s attorney told the court she didn’t vote in 2020. Defense team wants 30 days incarceration. DOJ wants six months. Entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds has a one-year maximum. huffpost.com/entry/gracyn-c…
Prosecutor said it was “extremely likely” they would have gone for the felony had they discovered footage of Courtright on the floor of the Senate before her misdemeanor guilty plea.
Jan. 6 defendant Andrew Hatley tells the court that going into the Capitol building wasn’t right, and suggests he regrets coming to D.C. at all. Said he got acclimated to the crowd as he got closer to the building. Sentencing forthcoming.
Judge Thomas Hogan notes Hatley went through a broken window, and knew it was a chaotic scene, but also notes he didn’t steal anything or fight police.
Hogan indicates he thinks Hatley’s remorse is sincere, notes Hatley’s lack of criminal history and his work ethic.
Judge Hogan says he thinks that being arrested and that the “social embarrassment” of being charged has a deterrent effect.
BREAKING: Judge Tanya Chutkan sentences Brandon Miller to 20 days behind bars. Stephanie Miller gets 14 days incarceration.
DOJ had asked for home confinement.
“They climbed through a broken window,” Chutkan emphasizes. “I’m not sure there’s any remorse."
“There have to be consequences for participating in an attempted violent overthrow of the government beyond sitting at home,” Judge Tanya Chutkan previously said. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Judge Chutkan said Brandon Miller came to D.C. to "help a political faction,” not to "help the country.”
The FBI has arrested Jan. 6 defendant Avery MacCracken, and the feds are once again crediting @SeditionHunters. #CoveredDragon
Court records don’t yet reflect DOJ’s position on the question of whether the court should, until trial, release MacCracken.
"MacCracken punched Officer J.G. with his closed fist in the right cheek, causing a cut to the face under his right eye. Officer J.G. took a selfie-pic of his injuries and provided self-aid; he did not seek other medical care.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
The arrest warrant indicates that the defendant was arrested Saturday, which suggests that a local federal magistrate judge may have already released MacCracken.
