Lawrence Louis Ambrose
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Lawrence Louis Ambrose of San Diego, California was standing close enough to see one of the most consequential moments of January 6, 2021, and he has spent years answering for thirty minutes of his life. FACT: Court records place Lawrence Ambrose entering the Capitol through the Senate Wing Door at about 2:24 p.m. on January 6, 2021, and exiting through the Upper House Door at about 2:54 p.m. Thirty minutes. Source: americangulag.org case file for Lawrence Louis Ambrose. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: Court documents cited in that file describe Ambrose as standing a number of feet from Ashli Babbitt when she attempted to climb through the broken window where she was shot. If that is accurate, Lawrence Ambrose is a firsthand witness to the only shooting death of a protester that day. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: the underlying filing has not been independently pulled and read for this archive. THE CHARGE, PLAINLY. Ambrose was charged with one count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. A petty misdemeanor. Not sedition. Not conspiracy. Not assault. He pleaded not guilty at his initial appearance on October 6, 2022, and pleaded guilty to that single count on October 25, 2022. FACT: On March 13, 2023, Lawrence Louis Ambrose was sentenced to three years of probation, 45 days of home detention with location monitoring, 60 hours of community service, a $500 fine, $500 in restitution, and a $10 special assessment. He served no prison time. His defense attorney was Marc Geller. Sources: americangulag.org; Wikipedia, List of cases of the January 6 United States Capitol attack (A-F). Sixty hours of service to his community. That is how this case actually ended. The coverage of January 6 almost never tells you how many of these files close exactly here. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. THE RECORD. Case 1:22-cr-302, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
