Montgomery attorney wins not guilty verdict on charge for January 6 defendant
Montgomery attorney Melissa Issak won a "not guilty" jury verdict for her client, who she referred to as "Matthew," on the Class A misdemeanor charge of "knowingly entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority." He had been charged in the January 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" protest in Washington, D.C., in which thousands of citizens protested against the questionable procedures of the 2020 presidential election.

Here is Issak's explanation of what happened:

This is Matthew. Matthew attended the ‘Stop the Steal Rally’ in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021.

Matthew’s case was assigned to Judge Royce Lamberth. There have been several articles referencing Lambreth’s statements. We filed for a recusal largely based upon his statements, but it was denied.

Long story short, in June of this year we went in front of a DC jury. It was clear during selection that their politics did not match ours. But after the trial, the jury found him innocent of the “1752” charges (felony). This charge is knowingly entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and disorderly conduct. He was there. He didn’t harm anyone. He didn’t destroy anything, he didn’t even yell at anyone. But the jury did find him guilty of class B misdemeanors. Jail time is largely unheard of for class B misdemeanors.

When the jury returned the verdict, the judge did not look happy. In fact, we can’t find where a defendant was ever acquitted of that charge, ever, in his courtroom. It appears we were (and are) the only ones to ever get a not guilty on this charge.

Ironically, I didn’t practice criminal law. I wasn’t a J6 lawyer, but when the need arose, I became one and am in the ranks of J6 lawyers who have gotten acquittals. And it’s only a few.

At sentencing, Matthew was given jail time. Far less than his contemporaries, but unfair nonetheless. How Hunter Biden gets a 10-year pardon and the J6ers, most who have never been in trouble and were “just there” face jail time is unconscionable.

Looking forward to January 20th at 12:00 noon.
