.@SergeantAqGo: "Mr. Wilson did not listen to my lawful commands to discontinue his violent actions. As I speak today, I do not believe his fake sense of remorse." — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
.@SergeantAqGo: "I remember seeing Mr. Wilson pick up flag poles from the floor and then use them as weapons against me." — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
.@SergeantAqGo: "Although Mr. Wilson’s black jacket & his face were soaked with the pepper spray, he insisted on continuing to fight me to prevent us from closing the double doors that would enable him & his fellow insurrectionists to advance through the tunnel into the Capitol." — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
.@SergeantAqGo: "I distinctly remember Mr. Wilson because he was wearing a white and purple hat with the words “CNN fake news” on it as well as a black jacket." — PolitiTweet.org

@SergeantAqGo: Defendant "attempted to gain entrance into the U.S. Capitol Building as part of his effort to “Stop the Steal”, overthrow our government in a coup, and subvert the democratic process by stopping the certification of the 2020 Presidential Election results." — PolitiTweet.org

Our client @SergeantAqGo is providing his victim impact statement. — PolitiTweet.org

Prosecution says downward departure is not deserved. Asks that issue of restitution be severed bc Govt wasn't fully aware of all the injuries Sgt. Gonell had suffered & wants time to submit more info. — PolitiTweet.org

Judge: "clear to me Def was pushing his own way forward", "not pushed". — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Judge comments how Defendant is very visible in that video tossing PVC pipe & can be seen as sprayed. Judge says he doesn't understand why defense would submit these video (which they did last night) bc they do not help for downward departure. Prosecution also submitted these. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Next video shows Defendant picking up PVC pipe & jabbing at officers. Then throws it. One of those officers he struck is our client @SergeantAqGo. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Next video shows Defendant pushing against officers even while he was being sprayed. He was "determined" to get past officers. — PolitiTweet.org

@EugeneinOregon @joshtpm Hasn't been mentioned so I can't say. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Next video is from crowd. You can hear someone yell to take officer's shield. Defendant attempts to do so. Officers lower shields for some reason & that gives Defendant opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Video shows Defendant shoving a law enforcement officer to the ground. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Prosecutor: Obviously chaotic situation but Def is not trying to retreat, moving away from engaging w/USCP officers. He strikes at them & hangs around. Next video is officer's bodycam video. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Prosecutor: USCP officers were trying to close doors but largely due to Def they were not able to do so. Situation might have been different had Def not done that. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
1st video 71 seconds long. Def is seen moving in crowd & moving to US Capitol doors. Def strikes at officers & throws PVC pipes at them. Asks Court to carefully observe whether Def is pushed forward or moves forward on his own. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Prosecutor playing some videos now. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Prosecutor: True that Def pled guilty early, turned himself in to law enforcement. Def's lack of recollection of "tunnel" events seems to belie acceptance of responsibility. Detracts from full embrace of responsibility. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Prosecutor: plans on playing short video clips from that day. Def was one of the most aggressive in crowd that day. Some technical issues right now with detention facility for next case. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Prosecutor: Doesn't want to belabor anything. Both sides submitted memos. Probably true that Wilson didn't come to DC w/intent to commit acts. Majority of ppl that day probably do so. But majority of ppl didn't use same level of violence Def did either. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Govt starting — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Defense counsel has concluded. Short pause for Court Deputy to handle something with detention facility for next case. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Defense Counsel: He was willing to turn himself in last Feb. Def handwrote statement for today's sentencing. He understands what he did was completely wrong. Impose some period of detention & probation. Won't ever commit criminal behavior again. Wants to retire. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Defense Counsel: "This is just a guy who is a logger from OR with an iPad and wallet thinking he is going to listen to the President speak." Just punishment doesn't need to include significant length of incarceration. "Incredible acceptance of responsibility." — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
@joshtpm Seriously. https://t.co/McftEpaIl7 — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Defense Counsel: Daughter-in-law made airline reservations. Def didn't even know where he flew into. Not involved w/planning or coordinating. Thinks he is leaving right after rally. Behavior is not intentional but "opportunistic." — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Defense Counsel: he wasn't wearing any items like Proud Boys were to protect himself. He was dressed like "ordinary person", had his iPad and wallet. Wasn't trying to take over US Govt. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Defense Counsel: Defendant consistently has been saying he doesn't have good recall of what actually happened. He got hit too. But he admits his behavior. Claims he wanted to leave but was being forced forward by others. "Fell" into the USCP officers. — PolitiTweet.org
Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq
Defense Counsel: Downward variant is deserving because this was atypical behavior. He didn't come to DC to commit bad conduct. Addressing the video evidence now. — PolitiTweet.org
