Edward Hemenway of Virginia was inside the Capitol for 17 minutes with his cousin. That is the whole case. FACT: Hemenway and his cousin Robert Bauer of Kentucky were arrested in mid-January 2021 — among the very first January 6 arrests. Both pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor: parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. No violence, no property destruction charged. (CNN; Courthouse News) THEIR ACCOUNT: At sentencing, both men asked the court for leniency and expressed regret for that day. His cousin told the judge there were no words for how categorically wrong they had been. (CNN; Newsweek) FACT: Judge Tanya Chutkan sentenced Hemenway October 13, 2021 to 45 days of incarceration, 60 hours of community service, and $500 restitution. (CNN; DOJ) FACT: The January 20, 2025 executive grant of clemency covered January 6 convictions. (DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney) THE CASE RECORD: Case 1:21-cr-49, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 1/15/21. Charged via criminal information 1/22/21. Plea agreement entered 6/28/21; pleaded guilty to count 4. Sentenced 10/13/21 to 45 days incarceration, 60 hours community service, and $500 restitution. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
