"Absolutely shameless & lawless" DC J6 judges: @julie_kelly2..hope SCOTUS is paying attention to how DC judges are scheming to keep J6ers in prison..if SCOTUS reverses that charge in J6 cases..could be considered in order to keep 1512c2 defendants in jail EVEN IF THAT COUNT DROVE EXCESSIVE PRISON SENTENCE. Absolutely shameless and lawless.
I really hope SCOTUS is paying attention to how DC judges are scheming to keep J6ers in prison on 1512c2 convictions if SCOTUS reverses that charge in J6 cases.
This order is not just a warning to the defendant involved—Larry Brock, a decorated military veteran with no criminal history convicted of 1512c2 and 5 nonviolent misdemeanors who successfully appealed an unlawful sentencing enhancement—it’s a warning to ALL J6ers convicted of 1512c2 to NOT seek release from jail if SCOTUS reverses how DOJ and federal judges (including this one, John Bates) applied the law.
DOJ has already come up with a replacement “enhancement” to substitute the one overturned on appeal to apply as defendants seek relief waiting for SCOTUS opinion.
NOW judges are warning they will take the extraordinary step of ordering prison time to be served CONSECUTIVELY not concurrently (at the same time) on low level offenses.
The ex-chief judge recently said ordering consecutive sentences on misdemeanors is not standard practice in DC court but could be considered in order to keep 1512c2 defendants in jail EVEN IF THAT COUNT DROVE EXCESSIVE PRISON SENTENCE.
Absolutely shameless and lawless.
