FEDERAL COURT,
June 23 --
On June 23,
months
after the DC
Circuit's
decision in US
v. Munchel, DDC Judge
Royce
C. Lamberth
held the
charge of plea
and sentencing
of defendant
Anna Morgan-Lloyd,
who got 36
months
probation
after two days
in jail. Judge
Lamberth
criticized
members of
Congress who
have likened
January 6 to a
tourists'
visit. Inner
City Press
live tweeted
it, here:
Anna
Morgan-Lloyd
is pleading
guilty to
Count 4,
"Parading,
Demonstrating,
or Picketing
in a Capitol
Building"-
plea deal incl
40 hours of
community
service, $500
restitution.
DDC
AUSA: The
defendant
drove from
Indiana for
the Stop the
Steal
rally.... The
defendant
consented to a
search of her
cell phone,
and accepted
responsibility.
"We do not
prosecute
people based
on their
beliefs."
AUSA:
The
recommendation
of probation
leads to three
years of
supervised
release - more
than if we
suggested
incarceration.
We ask the
court to
impose the
condition that
she refrain
from
possession a
firearm, 40
hours of
community
service...
Lloyd's
lawyer: She
listened to
the
ex-President's
speech then
walked to the
Capitol; she
spoke to the
FBI early,
gave them her
cell phone and
code. Since
then she has
learned a lot.
She asked me,
Are things
really that
bad? I said
yes, sometimes
worse
Anna
Morgan-Lloyd:
I want to
apologize. I
am
embarrassed, I
would not have
been there if
I knew how it
would be, so
disgraceful to
our American
people. Judge
Lamberth: I
accept that. I
have struggled
on the
sentencing. It
was not an
accident that
it turned
violent
Lamberth:
Martin Luther
King never
fought the
police. But he
wrote a letter
from the
Birmingham
jail. Some
here think
there are not
consequences.
I don't want
to create the
impression
that probation
is the
automatic
outcome here.
Judge
Lambert: I am
troubled by
Congresspeople
saying this
was like a
tourists'
visit. I am
selective of
these videos
being
released.
Judge
Lamberth: I
say, if you
break the law
and come
before me,
expect to pay
a penalty. I
think your two
days in jail
is
commensurate.
I handle my
own probation.
If you violate
it, come here
with your
suitcase.
Because you'll
be going to
jail. [Laughs]
Judge
Lambert: OK,
the judgment
of the court
is 36 months
probation,
restitution to
the Department
of the
Treasury of
$500... You've
led a very
good life. I
know I will
never see you
again.
We will
have more on
this.
