Grant turned to Jenn Baker of CondemnedUSA.com to cross alongside the letter beneath to The Gateway Pundit readers.
Whats up America,
My title is James Grant. I ought to be beginning my third yr of legislation college proper now, however as a substitute I’m beginning my third yr in jail for the Capitol Riot.
I simply went to trial in Washington D.C. for prices stemming from January sixth. I obtained my verdict again on Friday, and in my view, I gained. Right here’s why:
1) I beat 4 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, my largest cost.
The federal government was insistent that I plead responsible to this assault. The one plea supply I obtained required that I settle for full duty for Sergeant Caroline Edward’s accidents — which I used to be fully exonerated of at trial. I wished to take duty for my position in January sixth, so I pled responsible to 2 misdemeanors earlier than trial. Nonetheless, I couldn’t morally plead responsible to one thing that I do know in my coronary heart I didn’t do. As a lot as I dreaded a trial in opposition to the federal authorities, I knew I might all the time reside to remorse pleading responsible to a criminal offense I didn’t commit. I’m certain I don’t have to say that the majority January sixth defendants who go to trial haven’t had a lot success. So, I positively assume this was a win.
3) The one 111(b) that I used to be discovered responsible of — respectfully talking, ought to be overturned on attraction.
The police officer on this case was particularly requested if a weapon was used on this incident, and he or she responded that no weapon was used — not to mention a lethal weapon. I’m undecided why I used to be convicted of this cost, however I’m hopeful that I can obtain reduction from an attraction.
4) I used to be discovered not responsible of three different severe felonies, together with Partaking in Bodily Violence in a Restricted Constructing or Grounds with a Lethal or Harmful Weapon.
The court docket discovered that prior data of Vice President Pence being within the constructing was a crucial aspect in these offenses, and that was not confirmed. A few of these prices carried as much as 10 years in jail.
5) I used to be convicted of the notorious 1512: Obstruction of an Official Continuing.
I presumably obtained this cost for coming into the Capitol constructing. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court docket is about to listen to this case and can rule on it earlier than June ends. If the excessive court docket guidelines that the statute requires greater than entry into the constructing, this cost also needs to be dismissed. It’s additionally value noting that in January sixth, I helped cease a rioter from breaking a window on the Capitol constructing. Nonetheless, I used to be unable to seek out footage of this earlier than trial. Video proof of this might assist acquit me of the 1512 cost.
6) I might probably beat extra prices after attraction and ruling by the Supreme Court docket.
If the Supreme Court docket guidelines favorably on the Obstruction (1512), and my attraction on the 111(b) Assault is granted, I might probably beat 6 of 9 counts — leaving Civil Dysfunction as one of many few remaining counts. So whereas issues went pretty properly at trial, this case is way from over.
———
Despite the fact that I’ll not agree with the entire choices, I wish to lengthen my due to the court docket for its professionalism in dealing with this case. I’m grateful to Decide Cobb for her thorough deliberation — in addition to her clerk and all courtroom personnel. I might even be remiss if I didn’t thank my lawyer, Robert Feitel, for his glorious and exhaustive illustration. To be sincere, after years of standing hearings, ex-parte hearings, and trial — it’ll nearly really feel odd not see these individuals usually.
The January sixth ordeal has understandably been a nightmare for me and people I like. As I acknowledged earlier, 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 unable to even inform my college that I might be unable to attend. I’ve had a number of financial institution accounts closed with out my permission. I’ve been internationally slandered by the media — having my repute destroyed by hit-piece information articles that by no means even reached out for remark. Funds have been raised on my behalf and stolen from me. I’m scripting this letter whereas nonetheless in federal custody on the D.C. Jail. I wish to thank Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit, Treniss Evans and Jenn Baker from CondemnedUSA and particularly, YOU the readers and supporters of TGP. I shall be getting ready for my attraction, and I want your assist! I humbly request your assist by means of donations and/or sharing this story to boost consciousness, if potential.

The Gateway Pundit beforehand wrote about James Grant – one other persecuted American.
Within the wake of his verdict, Grant is retaining a constructive angle and is able to attraction his case. Nonetheless, because the adrenaline and hopium fades away, he’ll nonetheless be within the confines of the DC Gulag awaiting his sentencing. He’ll proceed to be a political hostage of this weaponized Division of Justice and the Biden Regime. Grant will proceed to get up daily behind bars. He has misplaced the longer term he has dreamed of as a result of he stood up for OUR future. He has been lied about within the MSM, has had cash raised for him solely to be stolen by the one that raised the funds, and like a number of J6ers has misplaced assist of family and friends.
It’s crucial that we don’t mistake a constructive disposition with the wants or inner ache of somebody. Grant is somebody who all the time has that constructive outlook and a love of enjoyable to get him by means of the actual struggles endured daily whereas he nonetheless wears an orange jumpsuit and hears the echo of the cell doorways closing behind him.
