Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Tristan Chandler Stevens is a Pensacola, Florida man who did the one thing almost nobody charged over January 6 was willing to do. He made the United States government prove its case to a jury. Most January 6 defendants pleaded guilty. The math is not close. Tristan Stevens pleaded not guilty to every single count and went to trial. [FACT] He lost. On September 13, 2022 a court found him guilty on nine offenses, five felonies and four misdemeanors. The felonies were four counts of aiding or abetting or assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement officers, and one count of interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder. The misdemeanors were disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and committing an act of violence in the Capitol Building or grounds. [FACT] He was sentenced to five years in federal prison, two years of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution. [FACT, WKRG] Tristan Chandler Stevens served that time. He went in as a young man from Pensacola and he did the years. On January 20, 2025 the clemency proclamation covered the January 6 convictions. [FACT] The person-specific clemency paperwork for Tristan Stevens is not yet captured in this archive. [NEEDS AUTHENTICATION] Here is what the record shows and what it does not. It shows a jury verdict, and this archive does not pretend otherwise. It also shows a man who did not trade his case away for a lighter number, who forced the government to carry its burden in open court, and who served every day they gave him. Agree or disagree with him. He did not run and he did not hide. THE RECORD Case 1:21-cr-40, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested February 5, 2021. Superseding indictment March 3, 2021, arraigned March 12, 2021, second superseding indictment August 4, 2021. Guilty verdict on nine counts September 13, 2022. Sentence: 60 months imprisonment, 24 months supervised release, $2,000 restitution. [FACT] This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
