January 6 "Insurrectionist" Found Not Guilty When Judge Takes Notice of the Inescapable Fact That Capitol Hill Police Officers Let Him Into Congress

 

Jan. 6 defendant Matthew Martin has been found not guilty of all four misdemeanor counts he faced. 

Judge Trevor McFadden found Martin's defense that USCP officers allowed him to come into the Capitol plausible. 

Better do a Wellness Check on AllahPundit and Pastor Blessing of Liberty and the rest of the French Davidians. I can't wait to hear how this judge must be one of those "populists" that threaten the very fabric of our nation. 

A federal defense contractor with a top-secret security clearance who admitted he entered the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack was found not guilty at trial on Wednesday. Matthew Martin was acquitted by U.S. District Court Judge Trevor N. McFadden after a two-day bench trial. 

Martin chose to go to trial in the misdemeanor case before a judge rather than go before a D.C. jury. 

Martin was the first Jan. 6 defendant to be fully acquitted at trial, and told reporters after the not guilty finding that he hoped to get his job back. Martin, who lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, held a security clearance and took personal leave from his job on Jan. 6. 

He was arrested in April 2021 and faced charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building; violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
