FEDERAL COURT,
June 4 --
Nearly
five months after the January 6 events
in Washington, on June
14 DDC Judge
Thomas
F. Hogan held
a guilty
plea proceeding
for two
defendants,
and said he'll
sentence them in
four to six
weeks. Inner
City Press
live tweeted
it here:
now before DDC Judge Hogan, change to
plea (to guilty) of defendants JOSHUA KAHLE
BUSTLE and JESSICA LOUISE BUSTLE. Judge Hogan
begins by explanating why he will be asking
the questions in the guilty-plea script (do
you know the rights you are giving up, etc).
Doesn't seem there'll be immediate sentencing
as Judge Lambert has set for Anna Morgan-Lloyd
on June 18
The Bustles are in their 30s; Mr. Bustle says
"high school." Judge Hogan: Either treated for
narcotics drugs? Both: No. [Two-person guilty
plea is not something they do here in the SDNY
. To each District its own, it seems]
Judge Hogan: If you plead guilty, you
are waiving your right to a trial and
therefore to any appeal of any trial. There is
no sentencing guideline here. Zero to six
months under the statute. The government has
not made any sentencing recommendation. AUSA:
Correct
Judge Hogan: Were you threatened to
plead guilty? Both: No. Judge Hogan: Anyone
promise you what your sentence will be? Both:
No Judge Hogan: The plea agreement says, Mr
Bustle entered the East Entrance of the
Capitol. There is video, and signs protesting
vaccines
Judge Hogan: Do you want me to accept your
plea? Ms. Bustle: Can I say speak? Judge
Hogan: I just want to know if you want me to
accept you plea. Ms. Bustle: Yes. Judge Hogan:
I accept it. Now I'm happy to hear from you.
Ms. Bustle: I also said, Pray for America.
Judge Hogan: Probation is doing a lot of
cases. Bustles' lawyer: You won't learn much
from pre-sentencing report. Let's sentence now
or very soon. Judge Hogan: I'm not prepared to
do the sentencing today. And I don't set the
date today. A month or six weeks.
Lawyer(s) - Mr. Bustle needs to travel to
Maryland for real estate business. And
the Bustles will move to South Carolina in
August.
Judge Hogan: We can modify the order. I'll ask
probation for a report & set a sentencing
date.
We will
have more on
this.
