The record, so far
Richard Watrous is from Cortland, New York. (FACT) His January 6 is one of the quieter entries in the record. He entered the Capitol, was inside for about five minutes, walked out, and sat down on the steps. (FACT) No violence was alleged. He was charged with misdemeanors. (FACT) He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation, with a two-week jail term and a period of home confinement. (FACT) On January 20, 2025, President Trump extended clemency to January 6 defendants. (FACT) A man from upstate New York who walked in, walked out, and answered a set of misdemeanor charges for it. The court record: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, case no. 21-cr-627. Arrested September 14, 2021; pleaded guilty January 14, 2022; sentenced April 21, 2022. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.

Why this matters for Richard
Most J6 defendant case files sit locked inside law firms. The public hears soundbites. They do not see the grievance forms denied without a hearing. They do not see the water shut off. They do not see four years of constitutional rights violated, one piece of paper at a time.
We put it in public. All of it. Every defendant who joins. One airtight record the government cannot refute. That is how this case is won.
