January 6 case-file subject

Archive card · not a photograph

Cepane Jo Sarty is a Marietta, Georgia man who stood beside his brother and walked out of federal court with no conviction on his name. Thirty-eight years old. Prosecuted alongside his brother, Seth Eden Sarty. Two Georgia brothers, one indictment, and a case the United States government eventually asked the court to throw out forever. ## The legal fight The FBI filed a statement of facts on January 19, 2024. Cepane Sarty was arrested in Georgia on February 5, 2024, more than three years after January 6, 2021. A grand jury indicted each brother on two felony counts and six misdemeanors: civil disorder; assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers; entering and remaining in restricted grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in restricted grounds; physical violence in restricted grounds; disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; act of physical violence in Capitol grounds or buildings; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. On March 22, 2024, Cepane Sarty pleaded NOT GUILTY to every count. A jury trial was set for June 2, 2025. It never happened. On January 21, 2025, the government moved to dismiss the indictment WITH PREJUDICE under Rule 48(a). Cepane consented. On January 24, 2025, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly granted the motion, dismissed the indictment with prejudice, vacated the release orders and the trial schedule, denied the pending motions as moot, and closed the case. ## What the record shows FACT: Cepane Jo Sarty was never convicted. No plea of guilty. No verdict. No sentence. The indictment was dismissed with prejudice on January 24, 2025 and cannot be refiled. CHARGE ONLY: every description of his conduct on January 6 comes from a government probable cause affidavit and an indictment. Those are allegations. No jury ever weighed them. This archive does not convert an untested allegation into a fact, for anyone, ever. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: the Rule 48(a) dismissal followed the January 20, 2025 presidential directive concerning pending January 6 cases. The court's order, not the proclamation, is the controlling disposition in Cepane's case. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: a review of the Office of the Pardon Attorney recipient listing returned an entry for Seth Eden Sarty but no entry for Cepane. The archive does not infer a person-specific certificate without the document. ## What still needs to be captured The native indictment, the dismissal motion, the defense responses, the native dismissal order, the full docket, an authenticated firsthand statement from Cepane, and a dignified photograph with verified provenance. No portrait is assigned. Government evidentiary images are preserved as source material and are not reused as a man's face on his own profile. ## Case record - Case: 1:24-cr-00130-CKK, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia - Judge: Colleen Kollar-Kotelly - Magistrate matter: 1:24-mj-00019-MAU - Arrest: February 5, 2024, Georgia - Plea: Not guilty, all counts, March 22, 2024 - Disposition: Indictment dismissed with prejudice, January 24, 2025 Show me the evidence.
