Zac Martin is a Missourian who never laid a hand on anyone. He is from the Springfield, Missouri area, and when the FBI came, he was taken into custody without incident, no struggle, no drama. (FACT, reported by KCUR.) His case sat at the misdemeanor end of the January 6 docket. That matters. The court record reflects a man who walked in, recorded himself, and walked back out. The court record, straight: Martin pleaded guilty on December 23, 2021 to a single count for his conduct at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. On March 17, 2022 he was sentenced to 36 months of probation, a fine, restitution, and 60 hours of community service, no incarceration. Charges are charges; this was his plea and the court's sentence. His case was among those addressed by the January 20, 2025 clemency for January 6 defendants. (FACT.) Case record: No. 1:21-cr-201, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 28, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
