Jerry Daniel Braun
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageJerry Daniel Braun is a Southern Californian from the South El Monte area who went through a full federal prosecution in his seventies, and outlasted it. FACT: a complaint was filed April 7, 2022, and Jerry Braun was arrested April 12, 2022, after an Uber driver's dashcam recording from January 6 made its way to the FBI, a detail that made his case national news. FACT: in October 2024 he pleaded guilty to felony charges, including assaulting law enforcement with a weapon, stemming from the police-line clashes that day. FACT: sentencing was set for January 27, 2025 before Judge Timothy J. Kelly. That date never came to matter. FACT: on January 20, 2025, one week before sentencing, the presidential clemency proclamation pardoned January 6 offenses, resolving Jerry Braun's case without a day of the sentence he was facing. After three years under the weight of a federal case, Jerry Daniel Braun walked out from under it a free man, back home in California. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:22-mj-69, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed April 7, 2022; guilty plea October 2024; case resolved by the January 20, 2025 pardon proclamation before sentencing. DOJ defendant page linked in the sources.
