January 6 defendant

Archive card · not a photograph

Carlos Alberto Ayala built a career in the poultry industry as a former Perdue Farms executive on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and he served on the Maryland State Board of Elections until he resigned in January 2024, days after being charged in connection with January 6, 2021. Carlos Ayala was charged with multiple federal counts and pleaded not guilty. He never went to trial. His trial date, set for June 2025, never happened, because on January 20, 2025, President Trump issued a blanket pardon covering January 6 defendants, and prosecutors dismissed the case against him. Under the law, Carlos Alberto Ayala is presumed innocent of every charge in that dismissed case, and the record now shows no conviction of any kind. CASE RECORD No case number on file. U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (charged January 2024, per news reporting). Charged with multiple federal counts including civil disorder and related offenses. Pleaded not guilty. Trial, scheduled for June 2025, never held. Case dismissed following presidential clemency, January 2025. Sources: CNN, CBS Baltimore, Maryland Matters, The Baltimore Banner, NBC Washington.
