Joseph Daniel Hutchinson III
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageJoseph Daniel Hutchinson III is a Polk County, Florida man who pleaded not guilty to every count against him and was never convicted of anything arising from January 6. That is the whole of the court record, and it deserves to be said first. (FACT, DOJ record) HIS LEGAL FIGHT. Joseph Daniel Hutchinson III was arrested June 30, 2021 and indicted the next day. On July 8, 2021 he was arraigned and pleaded not guilty to all counts, and he was released on personal recognizance. Prosecutors charged him with assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, aiding and abetting, and misdemeanor counts for restricted grounds and disorderly conduct. CHARGE ONLY. No jury ever ruled on any of it. (FACT, DOJ record) In 2023 he did not appear for his scheduled trial, and the court was notified that his location monitor had been removed. He was located in Florida and taken into custody on January 7, 2024, and held pending trial. (FACT, Law and Crime, Tampa Bay Times, Axios) HOW IT ENDED. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. Hutchinson was among the Florida defendants released in late January 2025, with no January 6 conviction on his record. (FACT, WUFT Fresh Take Florida) CASE RECORD, as preserved from the DOJ Capitol Breach list this archive mirrored after the government scrubbed it from justice.gov: Case 1:21-cr-447, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Docket, as recorded: Arrested 6/30. Indicted 7/1. Arraigned 7/8 and pleaded not guilty to all counts. Status conference set for 9/28 at 3 pm. Defendant remains on personal recognizance. Charges are charges. Nothing on this page states guilt beyond the court record, and the record for Joseph Daniel Hutchinson III closes without a verdict. Polk County, Florida. Three and a half years of a man's life. Not one count ever proven. The rest of his story, his work, his family, his community, is still his to put here. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
