Archive card · not a photograph

Robert Ciottoni is a Willow Grove, Pennsylvania man who was still facing a jury four years after January 6, and whose whole case came down to a calendar. FACT: Federal agents arrested Robert Ciottoni in Philadelphia on March 8, 2024, more than three years after January 6, 2021. He was charged under 18 U.S.C. 1752(a)(1) and (a)(2) with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. Source: Glenside Local. FACT: According to the charging documents described in that reporting, Ciottoni traveled from Philadelphia to Washington by Amtrak and was inside the Capitol for approximately seven minutes. He was identified in part by a witness who had known him for fifteen years. Source: Glenside Local. Seven minutes. Three years later. A train ticket and a neighbor. THE CALENDAR. FACT: The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Robert Ciottoni's trial was set for January 2025 and that his attorney asked the court to postpone it, writing that going forward "would not only risk rendering the process moot, but would also squander the limited resources" of the court. The judge denied the continuance and moved the trial by a single day, to January 23, 2025. Source: The Philadelphia Inquirer, January 6, 2025. FACT: On January 20, 2025, three days before that trial date, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. CHARGE ONLY. Robert Ciottoni was never convicted by a jury. The counts against him were charges, and charges are not proof. He is presumed innocent of everything that was never proven, and the file closed before any verdict was ever returned. THE RECORD. U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested March 8, 2024, in Philadelphia. Charged under 18 U.S.C. 1752(a)(1) and (a)(2). Trial date January 23, 2025. Willow Grove, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: no case number has been recovered for this archive. If you have the docket, send it.
