The record, so far

Emily Hernandez is from Sullivan, Missouri — Franklin County. She was 21 years old on January 6, 2021, and the photo of her holding a piece of Speaker Pelosi's broken nameplate made her one of the most recognized faces of that day (FACT: NBC News). Her federal case was small and she resolved it fast. She pleaded guilty on January 10, 2022, to a misdemeanor. On April 11, 2022, she was sentenced to 30 days, one year of supervised release, 80 hours of community service, and $500 restitution. She was never charged with assaulting anyone or damaging anything. On January 20, 2025, presidential clemency covered January 6-related cases, including hers. Full record, because this archive does not hide receipts: in a separate Missouri state case unrelated to January 6, Hernandez pleaded guilty and was sentenced in January 2025 to 10 years for a January 2022 wrong-way crash that killed a woman and injured the woman's husband (FACT: NBC News, The Hill, FOX 2 St. Louis). That is part of her story too, and her family is the one who should tell the rest of it. THE CASE RECORD Case 1:21-cr-747, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 19, 2021. Initial appearance February 2, 2021. Pleaded guilty January 10, 2022. Sentenced April 11, 2022, to 30 days in jail and one year of supervised release, including 80 hours of community service and $500 restitution. Case covered by the January 20, 2025 clemency. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.

How verification works

  1. 1

    You claim the profile

    Sign in (or sign up free), then submit your DOJ case number, a mugshot or pardon record, or a court document showing this is you. Takes a couple minutes.

  2. 2

    Ryan reviews it personally

    Every claim is checked by Ryan against the DOJ docket and public record. Imposters get rejected. You only need to do this once.

  3. 3

    Profile becomes yours

    Once approved, this page comes down and a fresh case-builder takes its place. You can upload photos, scanned documents, embedded TikTok / YouTube / X videos, your testimony in your own words. Everything you upload waits for review before going public.

Why this matters for Emily

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.
