Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Bernard Joseph Sirr is from North Kingstown, Rhode Island. He was 47 at the time of his case. By trade he worked as a nuclear facilities engineer for the Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission, the state agency that runs Rhode Island's only nuclear reactor, at the University of Rhode Island's Bay Campus in Narragansett (FACT, per the Boston Globe and Law & Crime). Sirr told federal investigators that he is an Army veteran (THEIR ACCOUNT — reported by the Boston Globe; his service record is not independently verified here — NEEDS AUTHENTICATION). The court record, stated plainly: Sirr was arrested in June 2022 and charged with civil disorder, a felony, and related misdemeanors. Prosecutors said he was among those who pushed against the police line at the Capitol tunnel. On January 27, 2023, he pleaded guilty to one count. On May 23, 2023, he was sentenced to two months in prison followed by one year of probation, six months of it on home detention. Plain English: this was a felony civil-disorder plea — the archive does not minimize it — that ended in a short sentence. President Trump's January 20, 2025 clemency for Jan. 6 defendants applied to Sirr. Case record: Case No. — 1:22-cr-259. Court — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint — June 21, 2022. Arrested — June 29, 2022. Pleaded guilty — Jan. 27, 2023. Sentenced — May 23, 2023 (2 months prison, 1 year probation). This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
