Archive card · not a photograph

Leo Brent Bozell IV is a husband, a father of three girls, and a Palmyra, Pennsylvania man who spent his own time on a church gym floor coaching other people's kids. Friends call him Zeeker. FACT: The Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg confirmed he served as a volunteer CYO basketball coach for St. Joan of Arc School in Hershey in 2019. Source: LebTown, February 17, 2021. FACT: He was identified in Capitol footage partly by the Hershey Christian Academy hoodie he was wearing. The sweatshirt of the school his family was part of. Source: LebTown, January 22, 2025. He comes from a name. His father is Brent Bozell III, founder of the Media Research Center. His grandfather wrote for Joseph McCarthy. His great uncle founded National Review. Leo Brent Bozell IV of Palmyra was 41 years old on January 6, 2021, and none of that lineage bought him a single day off his sentence. THE LEGAL FIGHT CHARGE ONLY: The government accused Bozell of entering the Capitol, reaching the Senate gallery and floor, and taking part in door breaches. Those were the government's allegations. Charges are charges. FACT: He was convicted at a bench trial in September 2023 on felony and misdemeanor counts. Source: U.S. Department of Justice, USAO-DC press release. FACT: The Justice Department asked the court for more than eleven years in prison and pushed a terrorism enhancement. Source: NBC News, May 2024. FACT: The court imposed 45 months. Source: reporting on his May 2024 sentencing. Read those last two lines again. The government wanted over eleven years and a terrorism label. The judge gave 45 months. That gap is the receipt. That gap is what happens when a courtroom actually looks at a man instead of a headline. His father told the court his son had a character that is sterling and is being defended by absolutely everyone around him. He did not ask the court to call his son innocent. He asked the court to make the punishment fit. Source: NBC News. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued a proclamation granting pardons and commutations for offenses relating to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Bozell was released that night. Source: Federal Register, 90 FR 8331. His father posted the next morning that his son was home with his wife and three girls. Home. That is the whole point. THE CASE RECORD Name: Leo Brent Bozell IV Case number: 1:21-cr-216 Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Docket: arrested 2/12/21, indicted 3/12/21, arraigned 3/26/21, pleaded not guilty to all counts Sentence: 45 months Clemency: pardoned January 20, 2025 Hometown: Palmyra, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE: Nothing here relitigates the verdict. The conviction is in the record and stays in the record. WHAT IT DOES PROVE: A federal judge looked at an eleven year ask with a terrorism enhancement and did not buy it. And a man from Palmyra went home to his wife and three daughters. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
