Shane Jenkins
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageShane Jenkins came to Washington from Houston, Texas. (FACT) We will not soft-pedal his case. On January 6 he was charged with smashing a Capitol window and with assaulting officers, and a jury convicted him. (FACT — charges are charges, and a jury spoke.) Here is the part worth knowing about his legal fight: federal prosecutors pushed for a sentence of nearly twenty years and asked the court to brand his conduct with a terrorism enhancement. The judge refused that enhancement and sentenced him to seven years — roughly a third of what the government asked for. (FACT) Even the court that convicted him drew a line against the prosecution's harshest demand. On January 20, 2025, January 6 defendants received clemency from President Trump. (FACT) A Texan whose case became a test of how far the government would push — and where a federal judge said no. The court record: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, case no. 1:21-cr-245. Arrested March 5, 2021; found guilty at trial; sentenced to 84 months. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
