Grant turned to Jane Baker of CondemnedUSA.com to ship the letter beneath to Gateway Pundit readers.
Hey America,
My identify is James Grant. I must be beginning my third 12 months of legislation college proper now, however as an alternative I'm beginning my third 12 months in jail for the Capitol riot.
I simply went to Washington DC for the listening to on the fees from January sixth. On Friday I obtained my choice again and for my part I gained. right here's why:
1) I beat 4 out of 9 prices, all of which have been felonies.
2) I used to be discovered not responsible of 111(b) – or aggravated assault with a lethal weapon, which was my highest cost.
The federal government was insisting that I plead responsible to this assault. The one plea provide I obtained said that I accepted full duty for Sergeant Caroline Edwards' accidents – thereby fully acquitting me at trial. I wished to take duty for my position in January 6, so I pleaded responsible to 2 misdemeanors earlier than trial. Nevertheless, I can’t be morally responsible of one thing I do know I didn’t do. As a lot as I feared a lawsuit in opposition to the federal authorities, I knew I might perpetually remorse pleading responsible to against the law I didn’t commit. I'm positive I don't want to say that the majority defendants who went to trial on January 6 haven't had a lot success. So, I positively assume it was a win.
3) The one 111(b) cost I used to be discovered responsible of ought to – respectfully talking, be overturned on enchantment.
The police officer on this case was particularly requested whether or not any weapon was used within the incident, and he responded that no weapon was used – not to mention a lethal weapon. I'm unsure why I used to be convicted of this cost, however I hope I can get aid via enchantment.
4) I’ve been discovered not responsible of three different critical crimes, together with bodily violence with a lethal or harmful weapon in any restricted constructing or grounds.
The Court docket discovered that prior data of Vice President Pence being within the constructing was a necessary aspect of those crimes, and had not been confirmed. A few of these prices carry penalties of as much as 10 years in jail.
5) I used to be convicted of the notorious 1512: Obstructing official proceedings.
Presumably I obtained this price to enter the Capitol constructing. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court docket is about to listen to the case and can give its verdict earlier than the tip of June. If the Excessive Court docket guidelines that entry into the constructing is greater than what’s required by legislation, then this cost must also be dismissed. It's additionally price noting that in January 6, I helped cease a rioter from breaking a window of the Capitol constructing. Nevertheless, I couldn't get footage of it earlier than testing. Its video proof will help acquit me of 1512 prices.
6) I can doubtlessly beat extra prices after the enchantment and ruling by the Supreme Court docket.
If the Supreme Court docket guidelines favorably on obstruction (1512), and my enchantment on the 111(b) assault is accepted, I can doubtlessly defeat 6 of the 9 instances – civil dysfunction with the few remaining instances. Can depart as considered one of. So whereas issues went fairly nicely with the lawsuit, this case is way from over.
,
Although I don't agree with the entire selections, I need to thank the courtroom for its professionalism in dealing with this case. I’m grateful to Choose Cobb for his thorough discussions – in addition to to his clerk and all courtroom personnel. I might be remiss if I didn’t thank my legal professional, Robert Feitel, for his glorious and thorough illustration. Actually, after years of standing hearings, ex parte hearings and trials – it will nearly really feel unusual not to have the ability to meet with these individuals frequently.
The incident of January 6 has been a nightmare for me and my family members. As I stated earlier than, I misplaced my legislation college scholarship (or extra precisely, by no means confirmed up for courses as a result of I used to be in federal custody). I used to be additionally unable to tell my college that I might not be capable of attend. Lots of my financial institution accounts have been closed with out my permission. I’ve been defamed internationally by the media – my status has been destroyed by hit-piece information articles that have been by no means even reached for remark. Cash was raised on my behalf and stolen from me. I’m scripting this letter whereas nonetheless in federal custody in a DC jail. I need to thank Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit, Trenice Evans and Jen Baker of CondemnedUSA, and particularly the readers and supporters of TGP. I'm making ready my enchantment, and I want your assist! I humbly request your help via donations and/or by sharing this story to boost consciousness if attainable.

Within the wake of his choice, Grant is protecting a optimistic angle and is ready to enchantment his case. Nevertheless, because the adrenaline and hopium put on off, he’ll nonetheless be imprisoned within the DC Gulag, awaiting his punishment. He’ll stay a political hostage of this weaponized Justice Division and the Biden regime. Grant will proceed to get up day-after-day behind bars. He has misplaced the longer term he dreamed of as a result of he stood up for our future.
