CHUCK JOHNSON UPDATE: Chuck has officially been released from jail.
Despite the Judge stating he didn't believe Johnson has purged himself of contempt, the judge has released Johnson after he signed 26 authorizations giving the court receivers access to everything from his bank accounts, phone records, and Apple and Google accounts. Chuck Johnson appeared in court noticeably thinner and walking with a limp. Johnson's father told me he had "no expectations" today regarding whether Chuck would be released from jail. Chuck's father appeared visibly frustrated with the situation. While the court was proceeding, Chuck's father kept his eyes closed and head bowed down.

Thread on the results of the hearing today where Chuck Johnson was given the opportunity to purge of himself of contempt so he could be home for Christmas. Spoiler: He failed. Image After around three hours in a closed-door meeting between Chuck Johnson and the court appointed receiver, Chuck limped into court with both hand, waist, and feet shackles looking noticeably thinner and with very unkempt facial hair.

Judge Pittman appointed an attorney, Devon Sanders, for Chuck despite his insistence to represent himself. Throughout the hearing Chuck refused assistance from Sanders. Chuck sat on his side of the court with the mug he stole on his desk. Judge Pittman reaffirmed he assigned Chuck a public defender “as an abundance of caution.”

Johnson trial 11/10/25
Judge pitman starts the hearing off by stating that he is too busy to deal with the shenanigans of this trial and that he is essentially on his lunch break. Johnson is again representing himself pro se.
At least one other reporter and someone who looks like a groyper showed up for the hearing.

UPDATE: I attended today's hearing for the lawsuit against Chuck Johnson.
Spoiler: Johnson was hit with more fees. Fees that would have been avoided had he initially complied. (1/15) Johnson (surprisingly) appeared in court today, still without counsel. The judge announced that two issues were to be discussed.
1. Johnson having not paid his portion of mediation fees ($5,000).
2. Johnson failing to comply with court ordered discovery and turn over requested documents and information.
