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.
