Non-Violent J6 Protester Who Put Feet Up On Pelosi’s Desk Found Guilty On All Charges, Faces Life in Prison

Richard “Bigo” Barnett, 62, is facing a potential life sentence for peacefully entering the Capitol on January 6th and putting his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk.
Barnett was wildly overcharged by vindictive prosecutors and denied a change of venue out of Washington, DC.

Our team fought like hell. We were relentless, creative, & left no stone unturned in Mr. Barnett’s defense.

We have multiple appellate issues that we preserved & will litigate.@BigoBarnett could spend the rest of his life in prison—for a trespass. Pray for him & his family. pic.twitter.com/jpLcn5YbEI

We filed motions asking for a change of venue months ago and were denied even though 96% of the DC Jury Pool voted for Joe Biden.

We cited the purposeful poisoning of the jury pool by the @January6thCmte and @POTUS‘s multiple public condemnations of MAGA Republicans as well.
