Jake Maxwell is a young man from Athens, Georgia — just 22 at the time. FACT: On January 6, 2021 he was on the Capitol's West Plaza. FACT: After a bench trial before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon, he was convicted of felony civil disorder and two misdemeanors. FACT: The court sentenced him to 18 months of probation — no prison — well below what prosecutors asked for. A 22-year-old who walked away with probation and his whole life ahead of him. FACT: The January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation swept in the January 6 cases. Case record: No. 1:22-mj-00025, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed Feb. 9, 2022; arrested Feb. 10, 2022; convicted at bench trial; sentenced to 18 months probation.
