Emily Hernandez
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageEmily 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.
