Insurrection Defendant Gets 41 Months in Prison. But What of the Cases that are Set for Trial

Judges are beginning to dole out stiffer sentences for insurrectionists, with Judge Royce Lamberth just sentencing defendant Scott Fairlamb to 41 months in prison. As reported by the Washington Post, at sentencing, Judge Lamberth commented that defendant Fairlamb was "smart to plead guilty rather than going to trial." However, there is a counter argument to the judge's observation. Although more than 100 insurrection defendant's have pleaded guilty, there are between 30 and 40 defendants whose cases are set for trial. And more trials are being set every day. The fact that Donald Trump remains uncharged gives these defendants an additional argument to make at trial that they would not have if Trump was indicted. This video explores that argument and what the Department of Justice can do to defeat it.
