John Clarence Wilkerson IV was one of thousands in Washington on January 6, 2021. The court record tells the story plainly. He was charged, he reached a plea agreement, and he pleaded guilty to a single count — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. On November 16, 2021 he was sentenced to 36 months of probation, a $2,500 fine, $500 restitution, and 60 hours of community service. No prison time. That is the whole of it in the eyes of the court: a misdemeanor and probation, not a violent felony. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency covering January 6 defendants; individual application should be confirmed against the docket.
