Hunter Seefried
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageHunter Seefried is a drywall installer from southern Delaware. He was 24 years old when a federal judge told him his apology was the most sincere he had heard in any January 6 case. He worked with his hands for a living. He went to Washington on January 6, 2021 with his father, his mother, and his girlfriend. FACT, per WHYY reporting from his sentencing. His attorney, Edson Bostic, told the court that Hunter Seefried is "a very decent, caring, and loving young man" who went because his father kept pushing him to go. THEIR ACCOUNT, defense counsel. Then Hunter Seefried stood up and spoke for himself. He told the court he was deeply sorry for his actions on a day that would be remembered as a stain on the country. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who sentenced a long line of January 6 defendants, called it "probably the most sincere and most effective" statement he had heard. FACT, per WHYY.
