Jerry McKane Waynick
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageJerry McKane Waynick is a Dickson County man out of Middle Tennessee. A son who went to Washington with his father. That is the part the headlines used against him. It is also the truth of who he is. Mark Waynick and Jerry McKane Waynick were charged together in February 2022, father and son, in the same complaint. The Tennessean, WKRN in Nashville, WREG in Memphis, and the Justice Department all reported it the same way. Two men from Dickson County, Tennessee. One family. WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS FACT: Jerry McKane Waynick is from Dickson County, Tennessee, per the Tennessean, WKRN, and WREG. FACT: A complaint was filed February 14, 2022 and he was arrested February 17, 2022, per the DOJ record. FACT: He was charged alongside his father, Mark Waynick, per a Justice Department press release, Law and Crime, and WUSA9. FACT: A published federal opinion exists in United States v. Waynick and is available on CourtListener. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. CHARGE ONLY: The government alleged assault on law enforcement officers. Those were allegations the government made in a charging document. Jerry McKane Waynick is presumed innocent of anything the court did not find. A charge is not a conviction and this archive will not treat it as one. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: The archived DOJ snapshot preserved in this row ends at the arrest. It records no plea, no verdict, and no sentence. Anything that happened on this docket after February 2022 has not been verified against a court record in this run and is not stated here. THE LEGAL FIGHT Complaint February 14, 2022. Arrest February 17, 2022. That is what the preserved government record shows and that is where it stops. This archive does not fill gaps with guesses. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE: There is no conviction stated in this record. There is no sentence stated in this record. WHAT IT DOES PROVE: Jerry McKane Waynick of Dickson County, Tennessee was charged, and the government's own case list stopped tracking him at the arrest. If you know the rest of this docket, this archive wants the documents. THE CASE RECORD Case 1:22-mj-28, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed 2/14/22. Arrested 2/17/22.
