Having seen videos yet unavailable to the public, I can attest to the improper responses of Police that led to the spiral
of events that culminated in a riot. Indeed, January 6th amounts to little more than a riot that was ultimately incited by
Police. The media draws much attention to the "deadly nature" of January 6th, but glosses over the reality that 4
protesters were killed as a result of the Police responses. People were pushed off balconies, protesters shot in the face with rubber bullets, women and elderly beaten, teargas
and flashbangs thrown into a peaceful crowd. Roseanne Boyland was savagely beaten to death and trampled by
Police. Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood by an Officer lying in ambush. I consider myself fortunate to have never witnessed these events, for I was on the East Side of the Capitol, and these
tragedies transpired unbeknownst to me. My fellow inmates however were not so lucky, and the scars of PTSD are
readily visible amongst them.As for me and my codefendants, we have suffered our own pains from the injustices levied against us for our
attendance that fateful day for which we remain incarcerated wrongfully. For nearly a year now we have suffered,
seemingly forgotten and ignored by the public. We attended that day to protect the innocent. I helped two injured
individuals, stopped people damaging the Capitol building and a Police vehicle, and obeyed every lawful order given
to me. My codefendants rescued a Police Officer. What then is our just reward? Wrongful incarceration, slander and defamation, violation of our civil rights, abuse,
neglect, Solitary Confinement, malnourishment and the military style SWAT raids that put us here. Guns were pointed
at children. Husbands and wives dragged screaming from loved ones. During our incarceration we have seen a woman murder her baby, a school shooter, and a guy driving a SUV through
a Christmas Parade each get bail/bond while we are denied that right summarily. People commit drive by shootings
and are released on bail the next day, and here we rot: Veterans, teachers, parents, medics, small business owners and
why? We on the wrong side of "The Party". We stand for the America they hate so much.Ultimately we are innocent of the charges levied against us and await here in this DC GitMo hell for a trial that will
likely find us unanimously "Not Guilty". Our charges are false, the truth manipulated, and we will one day be
vindicated.Until that sweet day, I remain here, held hostage without ransom at the behest of the American public that knows
nothing of my plight. Upon release, I will find myself in the tatters of my old life and shell shocked by my
imprisonment. My home, my business, my vehicle are all gone and I have little to return home to. I however keep my
spirits high and will embrace the challenges of the future, to rebuild my life once again.Currently, I remain represented by a Public Defender that is overwhelmed by the caseload, and is not aligned with me
politically which causes great stresses and interpersonal difficulties. As such, I still seek a strong Defense attorney that
believes in my innocence and has the resolve to take my case to a trial that is rapidly approaching in late April.God Bless you all, and God Bless America!Sincerely,Political Prisoner #376520Jessica Watkinswww.g
