US v Doug Jensen

#1

Post by Kendra »

Interesting thread. Next month is right around the corner.


Blessedly free of having to report anything about the MAL search affidavit, I will instead be heading down to court for a 2 p.m. pretrial conference for Iowa QAnon believer Doug Jensen, who's scheduled for trial next month.

Parenthetical note: Ashli Babbitt's mother, Micki Witthoeft, has been in regular attendance at recent Jan. 6 hearings for detained defendants and was in court today appearing to offer support to members of Doug Jensen's family.

NEW: Doug Jensen requested new counsel just before jury selection started here in DC, which would have delayed the trial considerably.

Judge Kelly sealed the courtroom to speak to Jensen and his current counsel directly.

Ultimately, Kelly denied the motion.

I see the defendants are more and more pulling pages out of the SovCit playbook.... :bored:

It’s an update on timing. Jury wants extra time this evening. Judge had indicated he wanted update from jury by 5p. Jury appears to want until 6pm

G.U.I.L.T.Y. on all counts. Scott Macfarlane tweets that Jensen was taken into customer custody pending sentencing.

An ongoing issue with these Jan. 6 jury trials is that you barely have time to write the story on closing arguments before the jury returns their guilty verdicts.
Let's all hope Officer Goodman is having a long tall cold one tonight.

Don't worry, Doug. This is all part of the plan you trusted, I'm sure.

As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

I suspect Jensen is not very high in intelligence in more than a "he's not too bright" sense. Just a guess.

I didn't realize he had a dangerous weapon (don't know what it was).

He had a couple superseding indictments. His own special page on the DOJ site.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/defenda ... las-austin

JENSEN, Douglas Austin

Case Number:
1:21-cr-6
Charge(s):
Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; disrupting the orderly conduct of government business; violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building; and obstructing a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder

Location of Arrest:
IOWA, Des Moines
Case Status:
Arrested 1/8/21. Indicted 1/11/21.

Superseding indictment issued 2/10/21. Arraigned 2/23/21 where he pleaded not guilty to all counts.

Second superseding indictment issued 4/9/21. Arraigned 6/8/21 where he pleaded not guilty to all counts.

Another superseding indictment returned 11/10/21.

Found guilty 9/23/22 of all seven counts. These include five felony offenses: assaulting, resisting, or impeding a law enforcement officer, obstruction of an official proceeding, interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon, and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon. They also include misdemeanor offenses of disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

The judges ought to start sentencing these jerks to consecutive sentences, rather than concurrent.

I'd prefer four or five 3-year sentences (out of 5 or more years) and served consecutively rather than having them all rolled into one 5-6 year sentence.

Won't happen, but it would be nice. It also might send a message to the others awaiting trial to change their pleas.....

TWO DAYS before sentencing of Doug Jensen, Cap. Police inspector sends letter to judge:

"If Officer Goodman had not led the defendant & the rest of the mob away from the Senate Lobby & an attempt was made to breach those doors, there would have been tremendous bloodshed"

Hey, Jensen, my dad was an uneducated union laborer and a WWII veteran, and he never "became overwhelmed by conspiracy theories" or chased a cop in the Capitol. And he sure as hell knew the difference between the Capitol and the White House. :roll:
