BREAKING: The DOJ has filed its sentencing memo asking a judge to order Guy Reffitt — the first J6 defendant convicted at trial — to serve 15 years in prison. They argue his actions warrant a terrorism enhancement. Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
The PSR estimated Guy Reffitt's sentencing guideline range at 9-11.25 years. That would already give him, by far, the longest sentence to date. But DOJ argues his sentence should be much higher. One reason: An illegal silencer found at his house.
Another reason? The DOJ says on at least two occasions, Guy Reffitt allegedly placed the barrel of his gun against his wife's head— and fired it near her head on one of those. Reffitt's wife has written a letter to the judge asking for leniency.
Here's the letter Jodi Reffitt, Guy Reffitt's wife, submitted to Judge Friedrich. In it she says the family "needs Guy home to fully heal."
Guy Reffitt's younger daughter Peyton, who was initially supposed to testify as a DOJ witness at his trial, also wrote a letter. In it, she called her father a "beam of light" for the family and talked about how his personality was perfectly suited for Trump to take advantage of.
FULL STORY: The DOJ says Guy Reffitt — the Texas Three Percenter who was the first J6 defendant to go to trial — should spend 15 years in prison. They argue his conduct warrants the first terrorism enhancement in a #CapitolRiot case. wusa9.com/article/news/n…

🚨 SENTENCE: Marine Corps veteran Ryan Nichols sentenced to 63 months (5.25) years in prison and what is, I believe, the largest fine in a Jan. 6 case to date — $200,000 — for assaulting police during the Capitol riot.
wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Explaining the fine:

1. Judge Lamberth said Nichols didn't cooperate at all w/ the financial portion of the presentencing investigation.

2. Nichols raised more than $230,000 on a GiveSendGo account titled "Free My Patriot Prisoner." Image
Judge Lamberth seemed impressed by the mountain of letters and videos of support submitted on Nichols' behalf, particularly one from his father.

But he also said he had doubts re: Nichols' remorse because of statements made throughout his case. wusa9.com/article/news/n…

A bit of drama in the dockets of brothers and Jan. 6 defendants Matthew and Gregory Purdy. Last year, they and their co-defendant, Robert Turner, all decided to fire their lawyers and be represented by a single, new attorney. Judge Lamberth was skeptical but allowed it... Image
Then, last month, the new attorney asked for a continuance of their April 22 trial date — noting, among other reasons, that she had applied for a judgeship in Alabama. I was not at the hearing but Judge Lamberth was, I gather, not impressed. Motion denied.
Cut to last week, when two of the defendants — having, it seems, decided Judge Lamberth is now ill-disposed toward their counsel — fired the new attorney and got newer attorneys.

Now those attorneys, w/ less than a month left to go before trial, are seeking continuances. Image

Former Trump WH trade adviser Peter Navarro's sentencing hearing is set to begin shortly. DOJ is seeking 6 months in jail for Navarro defying a subpoena from the January 6th Committee. google.com/amp/s/www.wusa…
Like most, Peter Navarro's sentencing hearing begins with arguments over enhancements and credits. Navarro wants 2 levels of credit for acceptance of responsibility. Judge Mehta seems dubious.

Mehta: “I haven’t heard a word of contrition from Dr. Navarro since this case began.”
Navarro's attorney, Stanley Woodward, says Navarro wasn't playing "smoke and mirrors" with the January 6th Committee but was only doing what he thought he had to as a former WH adviser. He says he only went to trial to preserve a constitutional argument. Judge Mehta disagrees.

Rudy Giuliani's civil trial resumes this morning at 9:15 with more of the plaintiffs' case.
The plaintiffs are showing a video deposition w/ Mary Frances Watson, a former police lieutenant who was the chief investigator for the Georgia Secretary of State's Investigations Division during the 2020 election.
Watson says she reviewed footage from State Farm Arena where Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss were working. She says it shows "election workers doing their normal process.

Q: "So it doesn’t show hidden suitcases of ballots?”

Watson: “No.”

Rudy Giuliani's civil trial is starting. He's sitting at the defense table with his attorney, Joseph Sibley, as Judge Howell instructs the jury.

She tells them Giuliani has already been found liable for defamation. Their job is only to determine damages. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Judge Howell is instructing the jury on the consequences of his failure to provide discovery. They must assume he:

- Intentionally tried to hide financial information to deflate his worth
- Intentionally tried to hide info about his podcast to deflate the reach of his words
Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss are presumed to be harmed by Rudy Giuliani's defamatory claims, so they don't have to provide any evidence that they were harmed.

They will have to show they suffered damages in emotional distress for one of the counts.

I mean, I guess you can play dumb and say it was your law clerk who wrote this so it shouldn't reflect on the sincerity of your client's guilty plea... but Judge Lamberth is the absolute last judge on the D.C. bench I'd want to play that game with in a Jan. 6 case. Image
The prosecutor in Ryan Nichols' case predicted this kind of thing and so asked Judge Lamberth to ask Nichols and attorney Joe McBride directly if they were contesting any of the facts in his plea deal.

McBride say there was "no controversy" about them. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Here are the facts Ryan Nichols and his attorney agreed to in his plea deal and declined to offer any changes to during his hearing earlier this month. Image
