Pardoned January 6 defendant

Archive card · not a photograph

Sarah Kathleen Holmes is a 59-year-old Florida woman whose entire January 6 case comes down to two misdemeanor counts and nothing more. FACT: Sarah Holmes was charged on February 20, 2024, more than three years after the events of January 6, 2021, with Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building or Grounds and Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. FACT: She pleaded guilty. FACT: She was sentenced. No violence charge. No weapon. No conspiracy count. Two of the lowest-tier misdemeanors on the federal January 6 charge list. That is the whole file on Sarah Kathleen Holmes: a Florida woman in her late fifties who went to Washington, was inside the Capitol for a period of time, and was charged and sentenced years later on the most basic offense the Justice Department brings in these cases. Sarah Holmes has spent nearly six decades building a life in Florida before this case ever touched her. The public record available on her is limited by design, since misdemeanor-only J6 defendants rarely draw the press attention that felony cases do. That silence is not the same as nothing to say. It is a life that, apart from one day, has not made national news. January 20, 2025: President Trump issued a sweeping clemency proclamation covering January 6 defendants nationwide. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: whether Sarah Holmes's case was resolved by that proclamation specifically is not confirmed in the sources reviewed for this profile, and this page will be corrected the moment that status is verified by Ryan or by Sarah Holmes herself. Case record: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charged February 20, 2024. Charges: Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building or Grounds; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. Disposition: guilty plea, misdemeanors, sentenced. Two misdemeanors. A guilty plea. A sentence. That is the entire record on Sarah Kathleen Holmes, and it deserves to be read in full rather than reduced to a mugshot and a headline. This is the record. Read it for yourself. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
