At sentencing, Susan Manwaring told the court: "I would never want another human being to be fearful for their lives because of my presence." Source: FOX 13 News Utah. FACT: U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols declined to send her to prison. He said probation alone was not quite enough and settled on home detention as the middle ground. He sentenced her to 36 months of probation with the first 30 days on home detention, $500 in restitution, a $500 fine, and a $10 special assessment. Sources: FOX 13 News Utah; Wikipedia, List of cases of the January 6 United States Capitol attack (M-S). FACT: Her attorney told the court she cooperated with investigators, that her conduct was minimal, that she witnessed nothing more serious, and that she had already absorbed real consequences, including heightened TSA scrutiny and the loss of volunteer opportunities. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: a woman does not lose volunteer opportunities unless she was volunteering. Before any of this, Susan Manwaring was a woman who gave her time to her community in Vernal, Utah. That is the part the headlines never carried. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. THE RECORD.
