Pardoned January 6 defendant

Robert Dennis grew up in a cop's house. He draws for a living. He is a North Texas artist first and a case number second. FACT: Robert Wayne Dennis is a graphic and comic book artist from Garland, Texas, and the son of a police officer (The Dallas Morning News, April 14, 2023).

FACT: He pleaded not guilty to all counts and took his case to trial rather than plead (docket, 1:21-cr-679). FACT: At a bench trial before Judge James E.
