AS THE COUNTRY SPECULATES ON WHAT’S TO COME UNDER A SECOND TRUMP TERM –

WHETHER THE PRESIDENT WILL PARDON JANUARY SIXTH DEFENDANTS IS TOP OF MIND FOR THOSE CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION CRIMES.

A NORTH CAROLINA MAN CONVICTED FOR HIS INVOLVEMENT ON JANUARY 6TH REQUESTED A **DELAY IN HIS SENTENCING HEARING

HOPING FOR CLEMENCY.

22 YEAR OLD CHRISTOPHER CARNELL FILED THE MOTION JUST HOURS AFTER TRUMP’S WIN IN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. CARNELL’S ATTORNEY ARGUED THAT HE EXPECTS THE INCOMING PRESIDENT TO GRANT CLEMENCY.

CARNELL WAS CONVICTED IN FEBRUARY ON FELONY OBSTRUCTION AND SEVERAL MISDEMEANOR CHARGES. HE WAS ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ENTERED THE CAPITOL BUILDING AND TOOK PHOTOS OF DOCUMENTS FROM A SENATOR’S DESK.

CARNELL’S LAWYER FILED THE REQUEST – SAYING HER CLIENT IS “AWAITING FURTHER INFORMATION” FROM TRUMP’S TEAM ABOUT POTENTIAL CLEMENCY ACTIONS.

HOWEVER, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE BERYL HOWELL QUICKLY DENIED THE REQUEST TO DELAY HIS SENTENCING, SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY.

ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL –

TRUMP MADE SEVERAL PROMISES – THAT SOUNDED LIKE THIS – TEASING PARDONS FOR JANUARY SIXTH DEFENDANTS.

“If i win we will treat those people from january 6 fairly, and if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons, because they are being treated so unfairly.”

OVER 15 HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CHARGED IN CONNECTION TO JANUARY 6TH WITH MORE THAN A THOUSAND CONVICTED.

TRUMP HAS NOT PROMISED A SWEEPING PARDON FOR ALL PRISONERS –

BUT RATHER CASE BY CASE –

SAYING AS RECENT AS JULY THAT “IF THEY’RE INNOCENT” –

HE WILL PARDON THEM.
