Geoffrey William Sills
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageGeoffrey Sills was 31 years old, from Mechanicsville, Virginia, when his case went to trial. FACT: Sills did not hide from the facts of his case. He waived a jury, went to a bench trial before Judge Trevor McFadden, and admitted to a stipulated set of facts rather than contest what the video showed. (DOJ; court record) FACT: He was found guilty August 23, 2022 of obstruction of an official proceeding, assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon, and robbery, and sentenced March 22, 2023 to 52 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 restitution. The convictions are what the record says. (DOJ; NBC News; WUSA9) FACT: The January 20, 2025 executive grant of clemency covered January 6 convictions. (DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney) THE CASE RECORD: Case 1:21-cr-40, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charged via third superseding indictment 6/16/21; arrested 6/18/21. Found guilty by the Court 8/23/22 after a stipulated bench trial. Sentenced 3/22/23 to 52 months in prison. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
