Jean Lavin is a mother from Canterbury, Connecticut — a small-town New Englander whose January 6 story is, at its heart, a story about a mother and daughter side by side. FACT: Jean Lavin traveled to Washington on January 6, 2021 with her adult daughter. Their bus got lost on the way and they missed the speech they had come to hear. The two stayed together the entire day. FACT: Jean Lavin pleaded guilty on 1/11/2022 to a single misdemeanor — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. Her record in this case contains no violence and no property damage. On 4/22/2022 she was sentenced to 36 months of probation, with 10 days of intermittent confinement and 60 days of home detention, a $2,500 fine and $500 restitution. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation pardoned January 6 defendants, closing the book on cases like Jean Lavin's. CASE RECORD — Case No. 1:21-cr-596, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 9/14/2021; pleaded guilty 1/11/2022; sentenced 4/22/2022. Sources linked on this profile.
