Archive card · not a photograph

Chad Barrett Jones is a Mount Washington man from Bullitt County, Kentucky. His case ran almost four years and he was never sentenced. Not once. Read that again. Chad Barrett Jones was arrested on January 16, 2021, ten days after January 6. He pleaded not guilty to all nine counts and he did not take a deal. He went to trial. That is a hard road and most people never walk it. [FACT - DOJ defendant record; WUSA9, July 2023] He fought that case from home. Chad Barrett Jones was released with conditions, not detained, for the entire pretrial period. [FACT - American Gulag case file] THE LEGAL FIGHT On July 26, 2023, after a bench trial before U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, Chad Barrett Jones was found guilty on all nine counts: two felonies, civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding, plus seven misdemeanors. The government's case centered on a window pane broken with a flagpole near the Speaker's Lobby. [FACT - DOJ press release; WUSA9; The Hill; Washington Post, July 26, 2023] Then nothing. Sentencing was set for November 8, 2023 and it did not happen. It was rescheduled with no date set. [FACT - docket record as preserved] On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. [FACT] Chad Barrett Jones never served a day of a sentence in this case because a sentence was never imposed. What this record does not show: Chad Barrett Jones was not charged with assaulting any officer. What it does show is a Kentucky man who exercised his right to trial and lost, and whose case was resolved by the President of the United States before any judgment of sentence was entered. THE CASE RECORD Case 1:21-cr-213, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Richard Leon. Charges per the DOJ record: entering and remaining in a restricted building; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building; violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, along with the felony counts tried in 2023.
