Man Who Put Feet on Desk in Pelosi’s Office During Capitol Breach Will Be Released From Jail: Judge
The man who placed his feet on a desk in an office belonging to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has been released from jail pending trial.
A judge on April 27 deemed Richard Barnett not dangerous enough to stay in jail as he awaits trial for participating in the breach. Barnett will be released to his home in Arkansas with a GPS monitor.
Judge Christopher “Casey” Cooper, in announcing him to home confinement, said, “The notion that the events of Jan. 6 were a legitimate or excusable social protest against ruling elites or worse yet a reaction to some people in society feeling that they have been unfairly scapegoated for racism is, in a word, absurd,” according to reporters who were at the hearing. Cooper, in releasing Barnett, said he should consider it “a test.”
