Jonas Buxton is a young man from St. Charles, Missouri. FACT: He was 25 at the time of his case. He traveled to Washington in January 2021 to protest the certification of the election, the kind of thing plenty of Americans went to do that week. The court record: the government dropped the other counts and he pleaded guilty to a single count, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. He was sentenced to 18 months of probation, 40 hours of community service, a $500 fine and $500 restitution. No jail time. That matters. One misdemeanor, no prison, and a whole life still in front of him. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency covering January 6 defendants; individual application should be confirmed against the docket. FACT, case record: Case No. 1:21-cr-739, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint and arrest 12/8/21. Pleaded guilty 8/10/22. Sentenced 12/2/22.
