Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Jacob Wiedrich is a Utah man who owned his mistake and went back to work. He pleaded guilty to one count tied to January 6, 2021, in federal court in Washington, D.C. No excuses. Court records say Jacob wrote a letter of apology to the Capitol Police officers he wronged. His own attorney told the judge Jacob knew this would be "a stain on his future", and he stood there and took it anyway. The judge gave him probation, not prison. Three months home detention. Three years supervised probation. One hundred hours of community service. No jail time. After the arrest, Jacob enrolled in trade school and started building a life on his own. He told a reporter he still wants to be involved in politics, "the right way," starting local, not national. Jacob pleaded guilty October 14, 2021, and was sentenced January 19, 2022, more than three years before the January 20, 2025 mass clemency for January 6 defendants closed out cases like his for good. THEIR ACCOUNT: his stated remorse and plans for trade school and local involvement, per his attorney and reporting. FACT: guilty plea, sentence terms, and dates, per DOJ and court sentencing memorandum. CASE RECORD: Case No. 1:21-cr-581, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 7/29/2021. Pleaded guilty 10/14/2021 to Count 1. Sentenced 1/19/2022 to three years probation, three months home detention, 100 hours community service, $500 restitution. This profile is unclaimed.
