Yet another Capitol siege defendant has requested a bench trial (trial by judge, not jury) in front of US District judge Trevor McFadden (a 2017 appointee during Trump Admin)
The latest defendant to do so is Hatchet Speed, a Navy reservist from Virginia https://justice.gov/usao-dc/case-multi- ... 1/download
So that's why you invaded the Capitol on J6, assaulted the police and tried to murder politicians …

(original Kansas City Star)‘Oh, come on.’ D.C. judge lashes out at Missouri man, attorney in Capitol riot case

A Blue Springs man and his attorney incurred the wrath of the chief judge who presides over the federal court in Washington, D.C., during a hearing Friday to set a trial date for his Capitol riot case.
John George Todd III, 33, who prosecutors allege was caught on video making threatening remarks to police during the Jan. 6 insurrection, was originally scheduled to go to trial Nov. 14. But at Friday’s hearing in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia — held by video conference — his newly hired attorney said he needed more time to prepare.
John Pierce, of Woodland Hills, California, asked that the trial be moved to October 2023.
Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell was stunned.
“Oh, come on,” she said. “This case has been pending now for some time.” She wanted to set the date for early December.
“This court’s going to be very, very busy with what we’re anticipating to be a number of new cases being filed by the government,” Howell said. “So I think this case needs to be tried as soon as possible.”
But Pierce said with all the other cases he had, a December trial would be a challenge. That didn’t sit well with Howell.
“Well, you understand that when you took this case, there was a trial date scheduled for November 14, and you have professional and ethical obligations, Mr. Pierce, to only take on matters that you can handle given your other trial schedule,” Howell said. “So knowing that this trial date had been set for November 14, how could you take on this case?”
Pierce noted that the November date had been canceled because Todd needed to seek mental health treatment.
“Based on the pretrial services report, he’s getting adequate mental health treatment,” Howell said. “And he seems to be functioning and doing fine.”

It does not appear, based on his exhibit list, that ret. USAF Lt. Colonel Larry Brock will be putting on much of a defense case in his bench trial before Judge Bates next week. Brock entered the Senate Chamber with flex-cuffs on Jan. 6 and faces the felony 1512 count.

Now the same guy has been arrested for DUI in a fatal crash on I-55
(I really can't tell if it's the same guy but guessing it is.)"I am sorry for my actions that day and accept the court's decision.
"I have come to realize the weight of my actions, and immensely regret following others into the Capitol. As a patriotic citizen, I hope and pray that the people of our nation will move forward united by the many commonalities we share.
"I greatly appreciate the support of my family, friends, colleagues, and community. Their continued encouragement, and the grace they have shown me, are proof that one brief and thoughtless moment does not need to define a person's entire life.
"I look forward to putting this chapter behind me with the knowledge that in the years to come I will prove myself worthy of forgiveness by living the values that have guided me as a productive and peaceful citizen for the past 53 years."
You can feel the remorse, right?I truly thought that my sentencing would result in probation, and coming home would be a turning point into getting on with my life. Instead, I had to look forward to a horrifying experience. I spent several days in disbelief, with a side of anger and resentment towards the injustices of our government towards all Jan 6ers. It's a cruel fetish to knowingly arrest protesters for "picketing", and try to get them sentenced to prison. I don't understand what it would be like to be that type of person.
