Stephen Maury Baker
January 6 defendant; full-pardon recipient
Documented editorial-use imageStephen Maury Baker is the defendant associated with United States v. Baker, No. 1:21-cr-00273, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. IDENTITY CORRECTION This archive previously labeled this record “Stephen Michael Baker.” That was an identity collision. The case number, February 1, 2021 arrest, February 7, 2022 plea, May 10, 2022 sentence, archived DOJ defendant URL, and Office of the Pardon Attorney certificate-recipient entry belong to Stephen Maury Baker. He is not the same person as journalist Stephen Michael “Steve” Baker, whose federal case is No. 1:24-cr-00121-CRC. CASE RECORD Federal charging records accused Stephen Maury Baker of three misdemeanor offenses. Those charging descriptions were government allegations. He pleaded guilty on February 7, 2022, to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. On May 10, 2022, the court sentenced him to twenty-four months of probation, nine days of intermittent confinement served over three consecutive weekends, and $500 restitution. Secondary case summaries also report a $10 assessment; the native signed judgment remains a capture priority. CLEMENCY The January 20, 2025 proclamation granted a full pardon for covered January 6 offenses. The Office of the Pardon Attorney separately lists BAKER, STEPHEN MAURY among people who requested and were issued pardon certificates. The pardon and certificate record are procedural facts and are not presented as judgments about his moral character. SOURCE DISTINCTIONS The archived DOJ page and charging documents state the government’s allegations. The plea and sentence are established procedural events. Media descriptions and labels are not adopted as independent archive conclusions.
