FEDERAL COURT, Feb 3 – The January 6 Capitol entry of Jacob Anthony  Chansley gave rise on February 3 to a discussion of if shamanism is a religion. Judge's order now on Patreon here. Inner City Press live tweeted it, here:

Discussion of organic veal, and of religions with versus without tenets.

AUSA: The defendant has not established that this is a tenet. Additionally, providing an exclusively organic diet is burdensome. Lawyer: He is a shaman, it is genuine.

 Lawyer: We have non-consumption of food for 9 days now. I have an alternative prayer for relief, I'd be delighted to get my client released. Judge Royce C. Lamberth: The court will issue an order that his religious diet requests be granted. I'll issue it later.

Portions: On February 2, 2021, defendant Jacob Anthony Chansley filed an “Emergency Motion for Sustenance or in the Alternative, For Pre-Trial Release.” ECF No. 6. After the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia filed a response earlier today, the Court held a hearing. ECF No. 7. Upon consideration of defendant’s motion, ECF No. 6, the U.S. Attorney’s response, ECF No. 7, and all the arguments set forth at the hearing, the Court will GRANT defendant’s motion seeking a religious dietary accommodation, ECF No. 6. Accordingly, the Court will ORDER the D.C. Department of Corrections (“DOC”) to provide defendant with food designated “organic” by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Here it is.

Nathan Degrave, in body armor and a helmet he took off to beat his chest, had  a twice interrupted detention proceeding on February 1 in Nevada. He was detained. Complaint here. Inner City Press live tweeted it here:

Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Albregts: Nathan Degrave - is that Degrahve? No, Degrave.

 AUSA: Mr. Degrave was wearing tactical gear. He pounded his check and lifted off his helmet. If someone wants to protest in body armor, to each his own. But he assaulted an officer.

AUSA: We called people, one said, He's not militant. But he is. There is no info about his business. He lost his passport. There are no conditions to release him. Degrave's lawyer: They have to show a serious risk of obstructing justice.  [Zoom cut off again]

We're back; Judge says he hopes to finish this one (Degrave) before gets kicked off Zoon again, and will pushing another one to tomorrow (unclear if that's #insurrectionBlues too). Defense lawyer: I propose conditions of release. The firearm was on the night stand

 Defense lawyer: The firearm is legal registered. Once that error is corrected, you'll see he is not dangerous. Let me contextualize. The first count could be a felony or a misdemeanor depending on what is proved at trial. Count 2, violent entry is a misdemeanor

 Defense lawyer: Count 3, ok it's a felony, but only 5 years. I'm not trying to mitigate the allegations. The facts can't overshadow the legal guidelines. At page 2 there is a passive voice about a shoving match. I was admit, I mean, submit, there is no screenshot.

Defense lawyer: Yes, he raised his fist. But he beat his own chest. He has a few shop lifting non-prosecutions. He wouldn't have been a leader in this, he would have been a follower. He doesn't know this roommate's number by heart. It's saved in his smart phone

 AUSA Dickerson: There's a firearm in the house.  Judge Daniel J. Albregts: The Court finds he is a risk of non-appearance. No one could contact his roommate. No confirmation of employment or incomes. There is expensive foreign travel. He's a danger, too

Judge: The court cannot conceive of any offense like storming the Capitol with a mob to overturn a lawful election. He wears body armor and a face mask. He deleted social media posts and traveled back to Las Vegas. He has a lack of respect for the laws.

 Judge: I will detain you pending your transportation back to DC to face these charges. Would you like a preliminary hearing in this district? [Another Zoom breakdown.]

They're back. Degrave's lawyer says to set a preliminary hearing in Nevada, they might later waive it to move to DC. Hearing set for February 16, at 3 pm there, 6 pm Eastern. "By video." Great.
