The record, so far
Billy Knutson is from Mitchell, South Dakota. He was 36 at the time of his case. He is a working musician — a rapper who releases and sells his music online, including on a YouTube channel under the name "Playboythebeast" (FACT, per Billboard, Newsweek, and South Dakota news coverage). That handle is his own self-published account. The court record, plainly: Knutson admitted he entered and remained in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, going in through a window at about 3:30 p.m. He pleaded guilty on April 13, 2022, and on August 26, 2022, was sentenced to six months of incarceration, one year of supervised release, and $500 in restitution. Plain English: he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of entering and remaining in a restricted building and served a six-month sentence. President Trump's January 20, 2025 clemency for Jan. 6 defendants applied to Knutson. Case record: Case No. — 1:22-cr-31 (initially 1:22-mj-6). Court — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint — Jan. 10, 2022. Arrested — Jan. 12, 2022. Pleaded guilty — April 13, 2022. Sentenced — Aug. 26, 2022 (6 months incarceration, 1 year supervised release, $500 restitution). This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.

Why this matters for Billy
Most J6 defendant case files sit locked inside law firms. The public hears soundbites. They do not see the grievance forms denied without a hearing. They do not see the water shut off. They do not see four years of constitutional rights violated, one piece of paper at a time.
We put it in public. All of it. Every defendant who joins. One airtight record the government cannot refute. That is how this case is won.
