Judy Fraize of Highlands, Texas is a Houston-area woman who was 70 years old when the FBI finally knocked — three years after January 6 — over 37 minutes spent inside the Capitol. Here is what the record actually shows. FACT: When federal agents came asking questions, Judy Fraize didn't hide. She sat for the interview and voluntarily handed over her own video from inside the building and her own photo from the rally. Total transparency, straight from the court filings. FACT: She was charged with four misdemeanors — trespass and disorderly conduct counts. Nothing violent. No assault, no weapon, no damage. Prosecutors never alleged she touched a soul. FACT: Security footage shows she entered through an already-open door, walked the Rotunda and Statuary Hall, and left on her own after 37 minutes. FACT: She was not arrested until early 2024 — a septuagenarian charged three years after the fact, largely on the strength of a Google location-data dragnet, as Houston Public Media reported. FACT: On January 20, 2025, the presidential clemency proclamation ended every remaining January 6 prosecution, with dismissal ordered for pending misdemeanor cases like this one. Seventy years old. Four misdemeanors. Thirty-seven minutes. That is the entire case against Judy Fraize of Highlands, Texas. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:24-cr-00267, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (initially 1:24-mj-00034). Arrested February 2024. Covered by the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
