Hunter Palm
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Hunter Palm is a Denver, Colorado man whose January 6 case ended the way few headlines predicted: no prison, a single misdemeanor, and then a full pardon. Hunter Palm was in his early twenties when the events of January 6, 2021 changed his life. He went home to Colorado, and when the FBI came, the case moved through the courts like thousands of others. THE LEGAL FIGHT FACT: Palm was arrested May 12, 2021 and released on personal recognizance. He pleaded not guilty to all counts at arraignment. (Source: DOJ defendant page) FACT: He originally faced four charges, including felony obstruction. The felony counts did not stick. He pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor, disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. (Source: Colorado Sun, Jan. 5, 2024) FACT: On January 5, 2024 he was sentenced to three years of probation and $500 restitution. No prison time. (Source: Colorado Sun) FACT: On January 20, 2025 the presidential clemency proclamation covering January 6 cases closed the book for good. (Source: White House proclamation) That is the whole record for Hunter Palm. Nearly three years of federal process, resolved with a misdemeanor, probation, and a pardon.
