Ronnie Sandlin is a Tennessee man from the Memphis area. [FACT] His January 6 case was one of the serious ones, and we do not paper over that here. He was charged with, and pleaded guilty to, felony offenses, and he served real time in federal prison. [FACT] But the story does not end at the sentence. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted him clemency — along with roughly 1,500 other January 6 defendants — and he walked out of prison a free man. [FACT] Whatever a person believes about that day, his debt as the court measured it has been closed. [FACT] --- The court record: Case No. 1:21-cr-88, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 1/28/2021. Pleaded guilty 9/30/2022. Sentenced 12/9/2022 to 63 months incarceration, 36 months supervised release, $20,000 fine, $2,000 restitution. Clemency granted 1/20/2025. [FACT] This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
