Qanon shaman...likely to get a new trial considering the government withheld video evidence from the defense....

[multivita-man]

He was coerced into a plea deal without all of the evidence being handed over.

Bulllllll shit. He wasn't coerced; the evidence was overwhelming. Deal with it.

 

[Marener]

Did they catch Mr. horn hat goring a capitol policeman?

~S~

This is a no-no.

 

[Marener]

He was coerced into a plea deal without all of the evidence being handed over. His lawyer now has it. You have no idea what the court will do.

Im sure the DoJ would love to prosecute Chansley for all six offenses rather than the one he pled guilty too.

If Chansley plays his cards right, he can get a significantly longer sentence and be an even bigger victim!

Obviously not since the video the J6 committee hid disputes it

So that’s the threat the DOJ should put forth? Sit down and shut up about exculpatory evidence we hid or we will throw the book at you?

Well, if Chansley thinks it’s so exculpatory then he won’t have to worry about it since he can now prove he’s innocent.

Not sure if Chansley is that stupid. I mean, he’s definitely not very bright but is he that dumb?

The guy who wore the indian headdress in the capitol will likely get a new trial......the prosecution withheld video evidence from the defense....

Albert Watkins, whose client Jacob Chansley pleaded guilty to felony charges in connection with the Capitol riot and was sentenced to 41 months in prison, said Department of Justice prosecutors were legally bound to turn over the footage. Clips shown on Carlson’s Fox News Channel program show Chansley walking freely and peaceably through the building, often accompanied by multiple police officers.



“We did not receive that video footage,” Watkins said. “We asked for it, and not just once or twice. Whether we asked for it or not is irrelevant because the government had an absolute, non-compromisible duty to disclose that video and they did not do so.”

“And all the while, they were actively representing to the court and the American people that Jake was a leader, leading the charge into the Capitol,” he said. “They did not disclose that footage because it ran contrary to their rote narrative.”
------
Court filings in Chansley’s case corroborate Watkins’ claim that he repeatedly asked for all videos of his client.

“Our position is that the government must identify any evidence it believes to capture [defendant], regardless of whether it intends to rely on the same in its case in chief,” one said.

‘It’s Appalling’: QAnon Shaman’s Lawyer Says DOJ Lied, Withheld Videos Aired By Carlson | The Daily Wire

Another look.....

This is why, perhaps, they refused to share the video with Chansley’s lawyer, which among other things violates his constitutional rights, big time. They are supposed to disclose all such materials in discovery, and failing to is prosecutorial misconduct.

Ed noted before we knew this tidbit:



If true, and I believe that it is extremely likely that it is, then the DOJ lawyers involved should be in some serious legal jeopardy. At least if there is a semblance of legal integrity left in the federal government.

I am no lawyer, but what is at issue is something called Brady Disclosure, named after a case where theSupreme Court ruled that the government provide any exculpatory evidence to defendants in criminal cases.

The ruling was necessary, obviously, because prosecutors can be very…enthusiastic…about winning their cases and didn’t always disclose facts that would undermine their cases, leading to people being convicted based upon flawed or incomplete evidence.

DOJ broke the law when prosecuting "Q-Anon Shaman"

Disgusting. These are political prisoners. Democrats rule like a communist police state

So you think it’s okay for the government to manipulate and exploit a man that maybe does not have a full mental capacity to understand his rights…so they can perpetrate a fraud on the American public with their political theatre?

Chansley’s defense attorney already tried to convince the court he’s too stupid to stand trial, but it didn’t work. He’s competent.

Chansley wasn’t manipulated by the government. He was manipulated by Trump.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I knew this would be coming... This is just the first filing... It is now going to get very real for the feds who withheld exculpatory evidence. The real issue after this is will those prosecutors, Nancy Pelosi and others who used the "national Security" excuse be held to account? I am not convinced. this was criminal acts to frame individuals for crimes they did not commit under color of a law. People should be seeing very long prison sentences, disbarment, removal from office, and charges of treason for this behavior.

Non epf the video is exculpatory. This is desperate Trumper fantasy.

Chansley was manipulated by the qanon cult and right wing media. But every individual must take responsibility for their own actions.

 

[AZrailwhale]

The Govt had the video...that's how we finally got to see it, because the Govt finally made it public. The Govt can't hide evidence, that is a Brady violation.

“a duty to learn of any favorable evidence known to the others acting on the government’s behalf in the case, including the police.” - Kyles v Whitley https://www.actl.com/docs/default-s...io-guide-for-prosecutors.pdf?sfvrsn=c1df747_4

The government didn’t make it public, one of the Fox hosts got the video through an FOIA request,

I thought Speaker McCarthy made it available

I think he gets released in July

Does he really want to throw out his plea bargain and face new charges ?

Will they send him money too? They like to send their dollars to criminals.

Almost certainly no.

But the Trump cult won’t care. The narrative is set and they don’t need any further information.

Nope.

Hahahaha

You think the criminal charges are fraud. The video of the criminals committing crimes is fraud. The texts and emails and memos and recorded conversations.. all fraud.

Embarrassing.

 

[scruffy]

Almost certainly no.

But the Trump cult won’t care. The narrative is set and they don’t need any further information.

The irony meter just broke.

 

[Faun]

You obviously havent seen all of the videos. Including the one where he is on the steps of the capital telling other protesters to go home. That they are not like ANTIFA ( ie violent) and President Trump wanted people to go home per a social media message he posted and he just read.

Bet that video didn’t make its meat to his defense attorney either.

LOLOL

You idiot. BuffaloHead was telling people to go home after illegally roaming the halls of the Capitol for 2 hours. By then, he had already committed the crime to which he pled guilty.

And not for nothin', but... the reason he was telling people to go home was because he had just seen the video of Trump telling people to go home. Which proves that Trump had the ability to stop that madness when it first started hours earlier -- but didn't.

So why would the president be derelict in duty and not lift a finger (literally, a tweet could have ended it) to put a stop to that? According to Sydney Powell, there was a backdoor plan to get the Supreme Court to hear a 12th Amendment constitutional challenge that would compell Pence to throw out the election and send it to Congress where Trump would have prevailed. She said it had to be done while Congress was on recess; but their sinister plan was thwarted when Nancy Pelosi caught wind of it and reconvened the House to continue with the election certification.

Republicans and conservatives who support Sedition Day are traitors to America.
