Gold and her codefendant John Strand faced a five-count indictment — felony charge for obstructing an official proceeding plus the usual four misdemeanors for illegally being in the Capitol, disorderly conduct, and parading; Strand's case remains pending s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2047…
Update: Simone Gold's plea hearing is being postponed because of technical problems with the platform they were going to use for the virtual hearing today, per chambers. A scheduling order with the new date/time will be coming
Voila: Simone Gold's plea hearing has been rescheduled for March 3 at 11am

At the start of the hearing, you could hear a baby crying in the background, and Howell asks the person to leave (not clear if they're in-person or virtual), saying that a sentencing is no place for a crying baby, no matter how cute

A Capitol Rioter Paid $109.95 To Do His Community Service Hours Online

A deep dive into how some people who pleaded guilty to joining the Jan. 6 insurrection are completing their court-ordered community service: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Edward Hemenway, sentenced to 45 days in jail + 60 hours of community service, submitted a letter of completion from Logan Social Services, an org that advertises as the "online solution to your community service needs" and charges fees based on hours buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Lots of nonprofits offer virtual volunteering, esp. during covid, but a number of court systems warn that they don't accept online programs for court-ordered community service. A few specifically bar the program Hemenway used, Logan Social Services. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Hello from Judge Dabney Friedrich's vitual courtroom this morning, where Jan. 6 defendant Edward McAlanis is appearing for sentencing after pleading to the parading misdemeanor. Govt wants 3 years probation + 60* days home detention, McAlanis is seeking probation alone
*Deleted previous tweet that had a typo re: amount of home detention govt is seeking (it's 60 days, not 6), restarting this thread
Friedrich asks about cases where the govt rec'd straight probation. AUSA notes McAlanis arrived at the Capitol in the morning and unlike most defs who arrived later, had a chance to see it was a restricted area not open to the public, watched "evolution" of overtaking by mob
