Jacob Chansley is now the third Capitol Riot defendant to appeal his guilty plea...
Bloomberg
The “QAnon Shaman” who walked into the U.S. Senate chamber in January in a coyote-skin headdress and pleaded guilty in September to obstructing an official proceeding is now appealing.
Jacob Chansley, who was sentenced this month to more than three years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, filed a notice of appeal on Tuesday “from the judgment and sentence” of the court.
John Pierce, Chansley’s new lawyer in the case, filed the notice in federal court in Washington, where his client was convicted, and is appealing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The two-page notice will be followed by a memo laying out his arguments. Pierce replaced attorney Albert Watkins on the case on Monday at Chansley’s request.
Everybody wants a do-over...
CBS News
...Chansley, a former Navy sailor, and his new lawyer John Pierce filed a notice with the federal district court in the District of Columbia notifying it that he would be appealing his judgment and sentence to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The move comes after Chansley, of Phoenix, Arizona, fired his attorney, Albert Watkins, on Monday in anticipation of the appeal.

Watkins, who represented Chansley in the district court proceedings, said his client suffers from schizotypal personality disorder that for years was undiagnosed and mistreated.
Scott Fairlamb appealed his conviction last week...
MMA News
Former MMA fighter Scott Fairlamb has filed an appeal following his conviction of assaulting a police officer during the capitol siege in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6.
(snip)
Criminal defense attorneys Dennis Boyle and Blerina Jasari orchestrated the Wednesday post-conviction appeal filing for Fairlamb’s case. Scott Fairlamb is now the second defendant to appeal his conviction during the Capitol insurrection. Paul Hodgkins, a fellow perpetrator during the attack on the congressional building, was recently sentenced to eight months in prison following his involvement.
While Fairlamb’s attorneys dispute the conviction, as it stands, Scott Fairlamb has been met with a heavy gavel and is still looking at 41-months behind bars.
They waived their rights to appeal...
Law & Crime
Fairlamb waived most of his appeal rights in his plea agreement — including the right to appeal either the conviction or the sentence.
However, he didn’t waive his right to appeal based on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, and that may indeed be his plan: the Washington law firm of criminal defense attorneys Dennis Boyle and Blerina Jasari were behind Wednesday’s appeal filing. Both attorneys also filed notices of appearances on Fairlamb’s behalf.
It’s unclear precisely what’s behind Fairlamb’s appeal. After his sentencing, his attorney at the time, Harley Breite, praised the government, saying it had been “nothing but fair, honest, transparent, and very reasonable.”
Paul Hodgkins entered his appeal back in September...
Washington Post
The first person to be sentenced for a felony in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack now says he was bullied by his attorney into pleading guilty and would like to take it back.
...Hodgkins says through a new attorney that he “did not want to plead guilty to a felony” and was “rushed into everything” by defense attorney Patrick Leduc.
According to his new attorney, Carolyn Stewart, Leduc inaccurately told Hodgkins that all the charges against him were felonies and that he would probably not receive jail time.
“One might wonder whose team Mr. Hodgkins’ former attorney was on,” she wrote in a Thursday filing.
Tossing the plea deals exposes these morons to greater jeopardy...

But the federal judge in the case, Randy Moss, expressed skepticism about the claim and noted it could even put Paul Hodgkins at legal risk, since he said under oath that he had reviewed and accepted the plea deal.

Moss sentenced Hodgkins in July to an eight-month jail term, far below the government’s recommended 16-month sentence, an acknowledgment that Hodgkins was among the first to accept responsibility for his role in the breach. But Hodgkins’ new claim puts the matter into turmoil.
Hodgkins had asked Moss to delay his jail sentence, which is set to begin on Sept. 20, until January, giving him time to mount his effort to unwind the plea agreement. But Moss rejected that attempt Wednesday afternoon, saying Hodgkins "has not demonstrated good cause for the requested four-month delay."
