James Robinson
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageJames Robinson spent his life teaching kids in Montgomery County how to defend themselves. Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. For years James Robinson ran Robinson's Martial Arts and Fitness in King of Prussia. His students called him Master J. He was sixty one years old by the time the federal government came for him over January 6. [FACT, Philadelphia Inquirer] A martial arts instructor. A small business owner in Montco. That is the man behind this case number. WHAT JAMES ROBINSON SAYS He says he went into that building to render aid to people who were hurt. He says he pulled a sixty year old woman out of the crush before she was trampled. [THEIR ACCOUNT, as reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer] That is his account. It belongs in the record in his own words, and it stays here. WHAT THE COURT RECORD SAYS Prosecutors put video before the court that they argued contradicted him. [FACT] James Robinson pleaded guilty in February 2023 to disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. A misdemeanor. [FACT] On May 9, 2023, he was sentenced to six months, plus $1,500 in restitution and fines. [FACT] We publish both halves. His account and the court record. We do not sand one down to make the other read easier. That is what an archive is for. On January 20, 2025, the President issued clemency covering January 6 prosecutions. [FACT] What that order did for a sentence James Robinson had already served is [NEEDS AUTHENTICATION].
