Frank Rocco Giustino
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageFrank Rocco Giustino is a massage therapist from Kings Park, on Long Island's North Shore — a New Yorker who insisted on telling his own story, in his own words, from start to finish. He traveled to Washington on January 6, 2021. FACT: he pleaded guilty on February 1, 2023 to a single misdemeanor — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building — and the remaining counts were dismissed. FACT: he was sentenced on November 21, 2023 to 90 days, with credit for time in custody. Frank Giustino never went quietly. He challenged the case against him in open court, on the record, in his own voice — and he sat for a long-form interview on the Justice in Jeopardy podcast ('Frank Giustino Under Oath') to lay out his account. THEIR ACCOUNT: he has said he opposed the violence he saw that day. FACT: on January 20, 2025, Frank Giustino received a full, complete, and unconditional presidential pardon — and he is listed by the Office of the Pardon Attorney as a pardon-certificate recipient. Case closed. Long Island still home. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:23-cr-00016-JEB, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Guilty plea to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building; 90-day sentence; full pardon January 20, 2025.
